2XBW Squat Challenge

[guru]

What about a 3X bw squat challenge?

...and you would be the only one in it... i see your game.

Oh, there's Jim Slade too, though I agree. RB's got some pretty evil intentions.

moooahhahaha

[DuckVader]

lol, at 3x bw I would have to squat about 900lbs!

What about a 3X bw squat challenge?

I'm in.

What about a 3X bw squat challenge?

I'm out. But I'm in on 2xBW 5x5. Took me 12 weeks!

[dylanamus]

Totally missed the deadline, due to subscribing a week or two beforehand, but if it's a 1RM Squat at 2xBW you're after, it took me 4 months on the SL program (credit to Medhi!)

If you want to make the next challenge for 5 reps in a row at 2xBW, I'll be up for that... Or else, I'll have to cut as much fat as possible and shoot for 3xbw for 1 rep (although this will take a year or two assuming my genetics will even allow it). Actually .25 extra makes a huge difference in weight when you're already talking more than 1.5xbw. 2x is MASSIVE. 3x is RIDICULOUS. Is it considered an "elite" level of training or what?

[rbtrout]

According to experts, you're not squatting heavy until you reach at least 2X bw. 3X would be insane. It all depends on how things go this year as to whether or not I'll try that.

Crap. But it feels heavy now.

[IDEK]

[Westsider]

I've done a 150kg parralell box squat@ 75kg. Do these have to be all the way down like in stronglifts strongest man?

[Van]

Seems this thread hasn't been active for a while! I'll jump in anyways!

Current: 5rm@280lbs
Body weight:160lbs

Goal:2XBW: 5rm@320lbs
Deadline: February 28th 2010.

I'm trying to get to 170lbs and then cut back down some fat to maintain at about 160-165lbs. This means that I could wake up one morning and 2xbw is going to be 340lbs
Regardless, we're gonna party like its 1997 once I hit 3 plates!

[Cynical]

I would like to join as as one of my 2010 goals is a 2xbw squat.

Current
BW - 75kg, (3RM) 120kg
Goal
BW - 75/80kg - 1RM 150/160kg

[WhiteGorilla]

I forgot about this challenge. I'll join too as I hope to get there before the year's over.

Current- I don't know because of back injury, but I was at 225lbsX5 @ a BW of 177lbs

My goal is 380lbs because I plan on bulking to 190lbs before I reach that. (to help me reach it) But who knows, I might only weigh 180lbs when I reach 360lbs.
