How does one bring up the squat? I weigh like 170 and I only squatted 230 for like 5 reps today for 2 sets. I deadlifted 4 days ago 315 for 7 and then 365 for a single. I was impressed. PR for me. I took 3 months off from training and resumed only been training 8 weeks and stronger than before on my deads (never did 315 for 7 or 365 at all) but not on my squats. I train 3 days a week.
I only pull from the floor every 2-3 weeks, more like 3..and i do SLDL or rack deads for the off-weeks. Last pull before that was 285 for 6 reps only. So i added like 30 pounds and the 315 wasnt to failure either, i had like another rep or two still in me. So really, I added like maybe 35-40 pounds in 3 weeks. So how do i up my squat? Pause squats? I dont do box squats or GM's or hypers or pull throughs. I cant seem to do GM's I dont know why, i feel like ill break my back with those. What should i be doing? |

i eat fairly clean. i try to do cardio but i hate it. i gained like 25 pounds in 8 weeks but i feel bloated too and my waist got bigger. so i eat much cleaner these days then when i first resumed. i do heavy ab work on this machine that u can add plates. i started pretty low at like 10 and now do 25 pounds on there. i hit abs 3 times a week. i use my belt for squat and deadlifts

what do GM's do? I tried them but i cant seem to do anything with it. Maybe just weak. Does it work hams? And how will this bring up my squat?

bro, work your abs first. hit it hard. GM is a great exercise to strengthen the back and its form. it also hits your hams hard.
if you want to bring your squats up..2.5 plates are your best friends and box! don't neglect abs workout..very vital

box squats and hex bar deadlifts will improve your squat a lot. the hex bar deadlifts focus more on your quads and hip flexor than a normal deadlift which puts a lot of pressure on the lower back. trouble is finidng a hex bar at a gym.
