@ian gentry you should look into HIT training by Dorian Yates and Mike mentzer, the only way to build mass amounts of muscle is to exert 100% of muscular effort, that’s what ignites the muscle building switch in the body. I’m still learning about it, but it’s the only SCIENTIFIC approach to bodybuilding/ weightlifting. Most people in the gym are doing aerobic workouts when they should be training anaerobic to maximize muscle and strength gains. This guy is a beast tho, what a great progress, you can do it too, just train like Dorian Yates and Mike mentzer

@@Depressedbutthole123 give it max another 2 weeks before you give up on it

@@Depressedbutthole123 you are partially correct, going close to or to muscular failure is best for optimal muscle growth but that is within rhe context of higher rep ranges 6-15 reps depending on the weight you are using. Singles, doubles, and triples are more so about fine tuning motor unit recruitment for DISPlAYING maximal force production not for building the base of muscle which gives more strength potential. The guys you mentioned were on gear so unless you are too you have to consider that recovery will take longer than those guys so maxing close to your 1RM ceiling rather than rep ceiling at a lesser weight than your 1RM may not be ideal.

It' called anabolics. Nothing insane about it.

He took advantage of the noobie gains

Exactly. He’s a lying pos

Thank god I wasn't the only one that thought the same thing (unless this guy deletes comments that tell the truth). 200lb increase in 6 months naturally is close to impossible. He was definitely inspired by David Laid or some juiced up fitness star.

Idk man.... I went from literally NEVER working out to squatting close to 500 in about a years time. I'm a LEO so never used PEDs just using these beginner gains lol. My first 1rm was a #200 grinder.

@@GreyMaster666 for what? I'm nowhere near their level lol.

A beginner can reach a 450-500 squat in about a year to 15 months.

Gear bro

Looks like injury recovery

You just have to work your way up to it, everyone believes in you :D

@@mattoucas869 He’s using gear to get from 300lbs to 500lbs…

@@static8356 ?

We all gonna make it bro

Take a lot of gear to get there in 6 months.

@@Hardfunkingcandy but still, it takes lot of hard work.

@@lol6434 You have to be lucky on steroids. I know people who can't do squats on steroids because it's too painful. You can find more information on it if you watch Greg Doucette or More Plates More Dates.

Yes way more impressive 400 but with good depth.

He can obviously hit 400ATG

Also high bar to low bar with more equipment....

Yeah for real lol it's like why even use the safetys at all at that point

the bars handle that very well. They can bend a lot and still return. Please tell me why the bar would get destoryed by that.

The collision can chip the bar. He's also squatting with bumper plates which are designed to be dropped. The bar, while it can handle some level of impact, isn't nearly as durable as the bumpers are.

I'd rather see him wreck a fucking bar than his back or neck,,,, don't be jealous he lifts more than you and is smaller it's ok to admit someone is better than you. Good job brother keep it up and keep slaying 💪

@@marc2638 you look smoll dude ngl

Fr, they’re bumpers! Just drop it on the floor for fucks sake lol

Damn bro you’re strong. I’m not even at 315 yet

:)

He wont

@@mikakoivisto6504 he will

Comrades?

for him yes, for the bar no. if he bails like this he shouldn't squat in a rack with safeties. You lower the bar down on the safeties if you have them, and bail only if something goes really wrong.

@@albupavel the bar has no problem with that, unless the bar is really cheap. I would like to hear why you say so

@@larryboi2706 I'm not even sure it's the bar with the problem here, it's the rack. That's a lot of weight to dump at the very end of the safeties, you can see they don't handle it well. As already stated there is no need to bail like this if you use safeties. If you can't lower onto them then they're too high and looking at his later reps he could probably have placed them 3 rungs higher.

@@someguy7564 I guess he could have raised them a little bit

Yeah, especially that bit where the weight literally bounced off the spotters and started rolling across the gym. Truly inspirational.

Thats really great advice imo. 👍

I hope he takes this good advice

@@deardiary5357 his depth is good stay hating lol

His depth certainly gets higher as he switches to low bar and keeps pushing weight While I do agree breaking parallel is better for size and strength, its also somewhat arbitrary, especially if you have no intention to ever compete

He isn’t a powerlifter so why judge him like one

Easier to lift it lowbar. Reason why most powerlifters lift lowbar. Typically weightlifters use high bar

When you do low bar then the depth of your squats becomes limited while the weight you can squat goes up by ~10%. Low bar technique is typical for powerlifters and strongmen 'cause depth is pretty much irrelevant for them as long as they hit parallel.

🤢🤢🤢What a shame cause low bar is cheating.

@@dctPL You have no idea what you're talking about. Depth is irrelevant for powerlifters? You won't get the lift in any respectable federation if you don't break parallel. 😆🤡

Lmao for sure. But this won’t take much with even low doses of testosterone. 200-300MG will be enough to progress 33.33LBS per month on lifts for 6 months

At the beginning it says “post injury” which implies he’s regaining lost strength (which is faster) but 200 lbs is a lot…

@@mrgaudy1954 It doesn't matter. The way he titled the video did not imply his post injury. He implied he actually went up 200lbs in 6 months. If his title was "6 Month Post-Injury Squat Transformation 300 - 500 lbs" then it would be perfectly valid. Still though, his body transformation in 6 months is easily noticeable, so the 200lb transformation seems legit, but on steroids.

@@Konalo it says post injury in the first clip

@@joshee6385 Re-read my statement.

@@Konalo sorry

ego lifting

"For the depth mfers" LOL. Solid lifts and progress bro

Look at Hip internal rotation vids (for example by PJFPerformance), that might fix a lot of your hip issues! Did for me at least! Goodluck and nice lifts ;)

Do you have a video of 500 full squat. I mean it's high to me, but not horrible for a gym lift... especially at your size and that wt. Big change in your legs... always going to be some criticisms. Just stay safe, your definitely on your way.. avoid injuries is a big factor

Can you tell us your routine?

Then haters just jealous, solid hard work from u . I wonder what’s in store 6 months from that time

its so hard to improve compound movements with just one training session per week. 2x is enough 3x is optimal.

Fr? 405 at 15, that's insane dude, good job!

Nuh uh

Nice cope 😹😹

You can when you half squat like this guy. Not one squat hit depth, not one.

Ever heard of muscle memory?

@@chief8079 What's muscle memory got to do with not hitting squat depth? you big dafty

Completely agree. His depth at the beginning was on point. He cut it short later on.

he hit paralell on most. Going further with that kind of weight and experience would probably leed to injuries. He did right not going full down. Consistence without injuries is way better than going low just to prove he can.

I was thinking the same, still phenomenal progress

@@geovani20091 Bullshit. Show me one study that says squatting to depth results in more injuries. If anything, cutting depth and handling a greater load than your body is ready for will result in more injuries.

@@wattsinaname6975 show me a study that proves your point! See, the lower you go, the more torque you have to generate in your joints. That's just basic physics. For muscle building, a full Stretch of the muscles might be ideal, but it is a problem for articulations. That's why a balance is usually ideal. That's why when you go havier then you are used, your body unconsciously stops before Depth. Look at sprinters or Olympic athletes with huge weight and barely any depth when they train for explosion moviments. I personally go low, but that doesn't mean everyone should. Even half reps have their purpose. Even just unstacking the weight you can't actually squat, holding for a few seconds and stacking it up again is a valid way to get used to higher loads. I Lost count if the amount of people going really low on their 60 kg/ 135lb squat for years and not improving much because their joints won't allow them. Then they get injured and the circle restarts.

he was injured

He gained 33.33LBS per month for squats which is an insane average to add

Was thinking the same thing, not squatting deep enough for the bars being that low

You got it dude!

So is your hip permanently damaged?

@@ArmanFFTW ly2

I fixed it and hit 500 again. I had bad hip tightness.
