Jonathan's training

[jonathan]

Do you max out on dead almost every session or that 170kg are a single?

well I normally max out everytime. But now I am going to take it realy slow. I will add weight progressively, just like my squat.
thx for the support

 

[jonathan]

oh god...20 rep squats? killer!!!

I will do them every training. 3 times per week. When I did 20x140 I was dizzy all day, almost drunk like haha

I always go parallel and beyond parallel the more reps I do.

You should gradually work up to the high rep squats...don't just jump right into it. Start off doing it 1x a week for 2-3 weeks, then increase the frequency to 2x for 2-3 weeks then move onto 3x. You know those strongmen who do them regularly? They heave some heavy weight but they take a while peaking out on them as well.
