FUCK! I'M SO FUCKING WEAK!

I need help with my SQUATZ, /fit/ I've been stuck at 185 for 3 months now.

My squat routine is 4 sets of 6 reps (or until failure) I'm just plain stuck at 185. 165 I can do easily. I can even do ass-to-the-grass squats. 185 is challenging. 195, I can barely do 2 and I usually "bottom out". 205, I can't even lower myself to parallel. Squats are the first thing I do for my leg routine after a light warm-up. I still manage to get sore the day after, but I'm not seeing any improvements. I've tried adjusting my position so many ways, but even my best stance and form won't let me past 185.

I'm wondering now, could it be some other part of my body that's holding me back? Like my hip flexors? Have I already topped out at this little bitch weight of 185?

Look goddamnit you goddamn goddamnit. Being sore doesn't equate strength. Do singles or 3 reps a set AND DONT GO TO FUCKING FAILURE YOU FAGGOT, FUCK. Make sure you rest for upwards of 3-5 minutes between sets and do this for 3-5 sets. Cut out all your other shit that affects your quads (why would you do anything but squats anyway, are you a homosexual? Box jumps are cool but fer srsly wtf) and see if it breaks the chain of fail.

AND I MEAN HEAVY GODDAMNIT of course not 185 because you have not suck to lift that much but maybe 170.

DOMS is common with high-intensity muscular endurance regimes... and IS a sign that you're doing something right...

for strength training: 1-6 reps
for body building:7-15 reps
for muscular endurance: keep, going you faggot... going to failure means you failed... that is unnaceptable... you go for a period of time and increase intensity so that you DON'T fail

squatz are reliant on the posterior chain also. so extra work for them.

you dont know what youre talking about

dear OP, try this leg day:

squat 4 x 6
deep squat 1 x 12, superset boxjumps to failure
deept squat 1 x 10, superset boxjumps to failure
deep squat 1 x 8, superset boxjumps to failure
deep squat 1 x 6, superset boxjumps to failure

increase the weight as you decrease the reps on the deep squat. you should be doing close to as many boxjumps as you did reps each set, of course more is better. if you still have energy left, try throwing in a 4 x 8 of deadlift, but watch it because that can be a lot of strain on your low back for one workout. it may seem tought for the first few workouts but your body will respond to the increased demand and you should make some good progress on your squats. good luck, hope it helps.

OP, don't worry about having to do 6 reps, do three rep sets and keep upping the weight. Also, eat more protein.

Yeah, because when you want to lift heavy weight, muscular endurance is the best thing to help you!

Ha, no.

No, you wont make good progress, because that's for fucking bodybuilding. He doesn't want to be big, he wants to get strong.

I guarantee better quad strength with this workout. you can expect a 10-15 lb increase in your 6rep in just a week. and this is not a bodybuilding workout, this is a power athlete workout designed for sprinters. try it this week instead of your regular leg day and then tell me it doesnt work
