squat lagging

[tasgymbrah]

Hey fellas,

I've been training for a while but for some reason my squat is lagging behind in comparisin to my bench and deadlift. My bench is 100 kg, deadlift 190kg and squat 100kg. I do legs once a weeks, can you suggest some changes to my routine to even out this imbalance?

Squat more.

So, once a week you bench 100x1, dead-lift 190x1 and squat 100x1?

post your program in more detail.

try squats

i find it funny that everyone jumps on his case about not squatting enough...

i only squat once a week, so its doable, so im going to say its simply poor program choice and/or technique issues

The weights I was referring to were at the 5 rep range. I train 6 times a week, monday: chest & tris,
tuesday: back & biceps (I have only last week changed this to upper back only because I was still sore on saturday from the deadlifts when it came to doing squats, I now do my deadlifts on leg day after squats)
wednesday: shoulders
thursday: triceps
friday: biceps
saturday: legs & lower back: squat, deadlift, leg press, hip abductor machine (inner and outer), leg curl, leg extension, calf raise

The weakness I had in my old program was that I was still sore on saturday from deadlifts on tuesday that I would have to either go light on squats or not at all which was not productive.

It's extremely difficult to give advice to someone you know nothing about.

Squat heavy and first every session where you have had sufficient recovery, squat lighter for more reps at the start of every session where you have not had sufficient recovery?

if your doing a split and your goal is size why are you worried about numbers?

when you do squats what exactly do you do for leg day? everything, warm ups, work sets, assistance etc

If you want strength train on a proper strength program (a 6 day split is not even close to being ideal for strength)... If you want to 'bodybuild' then do a split and dont worry about numbers because when you're on stage in your g-banger nobody asks you how much you lift.

Not sure what your goals are but I see on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday all you're training are arms and shoulders after already doing them with back and chest.
Also, personally I would not be Doing squats and deadlifts in the same workout.

A day just for Biceps? Yet Squats and deads are in the same session??

He's smart.

Someone wanting to improve their squat would be wise to drop the deadlift altogether and consider replacing it with the SLDL.

The dead-lift is just plain tough, too tough to be done on the same day as the squat for most people.

Everyone knows you have to isolate the smallest muscle groups groups because your body is only as strong as its weakest link..............
