Like @InkedElkSlayer replied so well. Strength builds over time, there are many variables that impact how fast your strength increases and muscle development is impacted. There’s also those of us who used to push the weight like y’all do, but as we age our strength changes as well as the pain we feel afterwards for the lifts he mentioned. I still have that young mentality until my body tells me I don’t quite have that strength I think I do. The great aspect about this thread is there are decades of knowledge and experience with workouts in the gym and training to hunt. You can ask anybody about their workout and develop a custom workout that fits you and your goals. Continue to get after it and grind it out gents.Appreciate the encouragement. We all take slightly different approaches, but have the same end state.
Squats work the largest and strongest muscle complex in the body. They are VERY mental, the body can squat much more than the brain thinks it can.
That said, some things I lift heavy and others not so much. I religiously do Deads, but I just don’t Dead heavy. Several years back I would Squat and Dead the same #s and I just didn’t like doing Deads heavy. I feel in full control and I like the pre-exhaust, heavy warm ups with Squats. With Deads, I just felt like I was going to pull something if I kept going.
There are others on here that are pretty damn strong. Some envious Front Squat #s have been posted. Hell, Hardly _Hangin says he hasn’t been lifting for strength long and he’s reping 365 on Deads!
Keep it up fellas.
