noddy78779

Hi all!!!!
Im a first time poster, long time lurker. As the title says i need advice on my squatting as i keep hitting a wall with the weight compared to my other lifts( deadlift, rows, bench etc).My bench and d/l have improved considerably in the last few months whilst my squat has not improved at all since feb.

i am 15(16 in august).
currently squat 90kg (am currently on 2nd reset phase)
bench 72.5kg
d/l 120kg

all advice is welcome

Do you have a video to check if your form is decent?

yeah, a video would really help, its probably a form issue

the most common squat errors are probably
- breaking at the knees
- hips rising too early
- not pushing knees out

also, how do you train your squat, and your lower body?

Use fractional plates -0.25kgs and 0.5kgs to break thru the barrier-if your still making gains in other lifts i wouldnt worry tho-this is normal its when gains stop in all/most areas that your cycle is over and a rest is needed before building back up!

How about some jealousy?! If I had those numbers when I was 15....

Well done! Are you doing a program, Starting Strength? If so maybe its time to move on to Practical programming...

My gym only has plates that go as low as 1.25kg so everytime i try to increase the weight i have to increase my personal best by 2.5kg which is a ball breaker and a huge strain which affects the rest of my lifts

That's some impressive lifting mate, well done!

do not aim to improve all big lifts at same time. work on one more than the others for a few weeks and rotate.

Put up video please as at 15 they are massive numbers i would love to see on all your lifts.

This has been advised to me before but i am concerned that my other lifts would begin to lag behind and also i have tried this before and i have only been able to sustain it for a few weeks before burning out completely. I am currently on Billy starrs 5*5 programme so i dont think it would fit in well with the program...

Will do as soon as i get the videos next time i go to the gym and with that a bit of extra time to post them when im not busy
