Grinding Out Squats Solo Concern

I don't need your lecture, fuck off.

What's the most amount of weight you've dumped like that?

[Gerald Boggs]

225, It was 1978 and I was 18. A crappy little weight room on a small army base in Germany. No cage, no one to tell me how to do anything, so as per advice and photos in the Joe Weider mags, was trying to go as low as possible and found that it's possible to go too low.

Left out stats: 5'8" 150

I’ve dumped 415 before on squat. But I learned to squat (and dump the weight) from Olympic lifters and I high bar.

[Jonathon Sullivan]

Safeties, set just below your bottom position. Shouldn't be a thing. Do it every time. Dumping the bar is never the right approach--bad for the equipment and unsafe.

If you are programming properly, you should almost never miss a squat in training.

Don't failures (not being able to complete the final rep) occur at the end of Linear Programming?

Not always, happened to me during a heavier warm-up. Complacency, I got forward on my toes, lost my balance, and decided (really didn't have a say) it was best to lower the weight onto the safety bars. Not my best showing, but I learned a valuable lesson.

Two things I will never do again: 1) Squat without safety bars 2) Take a nonchalant attitude towards my warm-up sets.
