Hi all,
M32 - I have lifted on and off for years.
Getting back into it seriously now.
Throughout every programme I have used over the years, I have always had a strong focus on SBD.
I have always seen great improvements in B + D. 5 x 5 - 100kg Bench
5 x 5 - 150kg Dead
These would have been my max during my peak.
However, I have never ever been able to increase my squat to have it anywhere on par with what I would expect it to be based on my other lifts.
For context, I’m back training about 2 months. Comfortably hitting 70kg for bench, comfortably hitting 110kg for deads.
My bloody squat is pathetic though - I’m massively massively struggling to even hit 70kg for 5.
My form is excellent on all three lifts. I’m eating right, sleeping right, doing everything needed.
I just cannot and have not ever been able to build up my squat strength. It’s pathetic.
Has anybody similar experience? What did you do to boost your squat? Did you just give up on your squat? Are some people just not supposed to squat?
