^ - I'm still not happy with my squatting though...even though I'm dieting with low carbs, and I go below parallel I should still be able to do 100kg x 6 at least...my weak squat remains an anomaly to me. I'm gonna go up to 100kg next tuesday's leg session....wish me luck!

Can u still walk after that leg session? Totally strong session overall buddy! We'll see that 100kg for sure.
That Thursdays train wasn't light either! Lots of sets there bro. I bet ur arms are sore.
h0ke - haha, funny you said that - it was the first leg session I'd done in a while in which I really hammered the quads...walking wasn't the easiest but the less I can walk the happier I am .Yep, tomorrow's the day I'm going to squat 100kg again after over a year... yep, them arms sure were sore for the next couple of days!

Result: It seems I have a lot of power in my squat from the bottom of the movement but I needed a little spot at around 45 degrees. Not sure how I can fix this??
With that weak spot in your squat a good trick is to drop the weight back a fair bit and do some sets where you go down, pause at your weak point then power out of it. Then gradually increase the weight back to where you were and go for the full range of movement. I did this for a few weeks and had good results.
Sounds like your hams and glutes are stronger than your quads maybe as they come into play more in the lower portion of the squat! But then looking at your leg pressing I find that hard to believe!
That Saturdays session was strong, very nice pressing there! Good to see some cardio too .
Mondays session looks solid too. U did chest and back in same day, that sound pretty harsh.
U got that 100kg and more actually!
ElFreako - thanks for droppin by and thanks for your tips. The thing is that my sticky point is at 45degrees so theoretically I should be able to go heavier...at any rate, I'll be doing some partial squats
Rocky - haha, yeah it's an odd one really - I'm thinking it could have to do with my lower back strenth as it's at the sticy point at which I feel the lower back gets used the most in the squat movement. Partial squats for the win!
miamiracing - thanks man...it's been a while since I last did squat but it took a session to get back into it and I was fairly happy with it. yeah mate, hopefully I'll get that 120kg soon!
h0ke - cheers mate :xyxythumbs: yeah monday sessions are pretty harsh but I consider my saturday legs n cardio sesh to be the toughest in the week.
Theres those DB SLDLs again
those must be very popular !
BB squats are insane, 230+lbs nice nice!
also those leg presses, killing the weights and pumping up them blood
awesome.
