Mate you have good technique. Nice and deep and upright. The weight is moving nicely. An assault on 200 kg would be a good target. Heavy leg press will help this along too in my humble opinion.

sweet, yea i want to be doing 200 for reps. im sure with a bit of help/advice from you guys i could get there no problems.

[Dr Squat]

I like to keep things simple. I think the key to squatting is to do lots of it. Lots of sets and lots of reps. Being careful to keep the reps at a reasonable level. Having the odd heavy day is okay but this should be the exception. I assume that your ultimate goal is still big quads? I think reps above the 6 should be the norm and in my view 10 rep sets are even better.

Ed Coan (who is a powerlifter of course) talks about the perfect rep. I'm still searching and I suspect Ed and Ronnie Coleman and Tom Platz etc still are too!

Keep it up mate. I recall that you were doing about 100 for 3 reps less than 2 years ago (I may have this slightly wrong). Bet that seems like an age ago!

yea that sounds about right.... when you put it like that i dont feel like iv progressed much at all :?
