I need to get my Back Squat up to 135kg to propel me into the 430kg tussle on the strength table.
Why 135kg you may ask? Well I am following a 5/3/1 routine and if you held a mirror up to it (really try this) it says 135kg. Also my weight is soon to peak at 90kg, using simple maths to nail the 150% bodyweight mark 90x1.5 = 135kg . That and the beauty of having 2x20kg,1x10kg,1x5kg and 1x2...

so my routine would have me aim for 1kg? makes no sense!!!
and besides 137kg is 300 lbs
Anyway, what needs nailing needs nailing!
I don't mean to have a go at you, but why not just make it a race to 140? It seems like more of a milestone lift, with 3 plates each side. Also, I'm pretty sure it's just Bronco and Johnboy74 who are still on a 430 kg total. My total is 450 now, soon to be 470, if things go to plan
Tough crowd!
Ok, so its to 140kg then. Will need to recalculate my bodyweight goal to 93.333333kg
Thanks for the confidence there ninearms, will nail some learning and get it done.

Bloody ...
I was wondering why you chose 135kg as your goal. Didn't realise it was based on some random numerological pattern of your routine. Like seeing a weeping jesus in your vegan jam doughnut.
Mid december will be tight for me, but I'm not making excuses. Time to start puffin' on that crackpipe.
See you at the finish line.
A 140 squat is most likely years away for me, with my squat sitting at 5 rep max of 87kg and my body weight sitting at 75kg. But fuck it Ill smoke some crack and jump in, maybe I will have similar success to the 100 push up challenge!

Haven't updated mine for a little while mate, it's now 455
And yeh 135 doesn't quite do it, 140 is much nicer aim

Nice crack smoking there, even with your 2.5kg lead I think 140kg will be mine first when I nail it in January. What crazy squat program are you on?
Dude, I squatted 30x95kgs this summer, the 150 is in the bag, I just wont buy more weights until the 135 becomes too easy to bench (harr harr). Drop by when you're on holiday and we'll have our own little duel over 'eer. Bring more weights. Grand reharsal was of course before the challange was posted, but it's much more satisfying to call a miserable squat session a grand rehersal, eh? Oh, and: _________________ More...

Yeah, a kickass video. Baldy makes a video of kicking just into the air and Killer makes one of himself flying out of a door Btw. I won´t max out in a long time I guess, so the 140 or 135 whatever we said now will be squatted 5 times then
I'm at 127.5kg squat, 164.5kg dead ATM, BW 80 ish kilos Just about to start 5/3/1. Am expecting to double my squat and be surrounded by fitties ALL. THE. TIME!!!
and jeans add 10kg - so you are actually at 125kg. _________________ www.vegaanikauppa.com www.vegansportshop.co.uk my comp and training vids: www.youtube.com/user/JPVeganPower
