"Yeah me. I can squat 100kg.
That's impressive x
Thank you I want to be stronger though!!
Stronger how?
More reps or improve your 1RM?
Improve my 1RM "
What programmes have you done so far to get you to 100KG?
I saw really good progress on 5/3/1, once you get your head around working out your lifts as a %age of your 1RM. |

"I keep trying squats but omg my balance is worse than a three legged dog! I fall on my arse every damn time.
Wiggles does them easy, I'll sort them out eventually "
Can you do a bodyweight squat?
Maybe try one woth a broomhandle or something where the bar would be until you get used to the movement. |

I've got a really good personal trainer. He tells me what to do and I do it. Simples. I can bench 50kg and deadlift 130kg ![](/icons/s/2/halo.gif) |

Does he have you on a powerlifting type programme? Maybe ask him what he thinks of thing like 5/3/1 or PHUL. |

Don't think a plateau was mentioned?
However 5/3/1 has a periodisation element, PHUL dooes too, in a way. |

OK, if you are asking more reps or increased 1rm as a target it would suggest an extremely limited knowledge. Never mind. ![](/icons/thumb_up.png) |

It wqs an easy way of asking if she was looking to target pure strength or looking more at hypertrophy/bodybuilding type training. |

Pure strength being absolute or relative of course and greater reps being possible by an increase in 1rm (sub maximal loads easier as a by product of increased 1rm). Hypertrophy may also be be achieved in first few weeks of programme. Give Supertraining by Mel Suffolk a read rather than just shouting shit out (just a thought). ![](/icons/s/razz.gif) |

I'd say that one program will work for one person while it may not for another. I just think it's cool that people are getting out there and doing some work! Do exercises that you enjoy and have a good time! ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Yes you have - 5/3/1 works by a submaximal 1RM and 4 week periodisation.
Or are you talking about the bit where you told me that strength was absolute or relative? I know this, it's physics - but none of it was particulalry relevant to the person I was offering advice to. She had reached an intermediate point in her lifting (at a guess), by the 1RMs she posted, and I have used both of those intermediate programmes and found them useful.
I felt it would be a more intereting comment on the thread than the standard "bums are nice" comment, but there you are. |

Yeah, nobody asked for a discussion about force, power and moments relative to mass etc...
Also, I wasn't really looking to impress anyone, let alone you. I was merely suggesting programmes that I ahd used when I reached an intermediate point in my lifting that helped me progress.
If you like supertraining, suggest that. I haven't tried it, so I wouldn't suggest it.

Squat is King !
With a bit of effort most people should be able to squat 2x their body weight. Not over night obviously but with a bit of dedication and some proper good form .
And you guys in here are so cute trying to one up each other with your gym language, be easier if you just booked a hotel room guys ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

JimiUK, I think the stuff you laid down was nice! You were being helpful. Seemed on point. But what the hell do I know? I don't go to a gym. I usually work out in my garage doing squats, deadlifts, chains, kegs, kettleballs, dips, and weighted packs. Jimi, keep doing what you're doing! |

I wish I'd come to lifting younger - I only started in my 30s, and I do quite well for my age/weight, but not well enough to compete. |

I wish I'd come to lifting younger - I only started in my 30s, and I do quite well for my age/weight, but not well enough to compete.
You don't really need to. With the right programme you can compete quite quickly.
I like that idea - does it account for my chocolate Rugby shoulder making my bench press shit?"
I've never been into benching and am pitifully weak, but still managed to win my class because of my strong squad and dead. |

"Re: women who squat
There used to be a female poster "flamehaired" who had been a succesful competetive powerlifter, dunno if she still posts though.
I also used to compete when I was younger and weighed less.

This is promising - my deadlift is by far and away my best lift with my squat nipping at its heels... |

"I keep trying squats but omg my balance is worse than a three legged dog! I fall on my arse every damn time.
Wiggles does them easy, I'll sort them out eventually
Can you do a bodyweight squat?
Maybe try one woth a broomhandle or something where the bar would be until you get used to the movement. "
Just about but after a few I'm on my arse again, good thing I have a sence of humour.
It's funny as I have two autistic kids who both have issues with balance and spacial awareness.. I think I know who they get it off now.
It's all good though, I love bench, shoulder press and deadlift. Have lost weight, gained muscle and am far healthier, I'll get squats sorted somehow

If your gonna compete at powerlifting then you won't be doing too much bench shit. Unless of course your doing a combined ?!
They have all different levels now too, for weight, age, all sorts, if it would push you on then make it a target. Good to get out of the comfort zone . ![](/icons/thumb_up.png) |
