    Failed at a Squat Max Today....very bad for the ego...

    I was doing legs today, and my partner couldn't come, so I was just using the smith machine or whatever its called, instead of the squat rack. And I was doing What I thought I should be able to do for SURE. Since I was doing 585 like 4 times on the free squats, I thought my max would be around 635. And since I was using the smith machine, I was sure I could get it. WELL NOPE!!! That ws so **** loud dropping about 1foot and hitting the stopsm luckily I had the safety stop set in place, but I still felt like ****. I even had a guy I talk to sometimes up there, trying to spot me. It just killed my ego and my mood, I almost just left the gym (but I stuck through it). Luckily I didn't get hurt or anything, and had my belt on good and tight, but still sucked really bad!

    Just wanted to share

    It sucks when everyone in the free weight room looks at you and you cant get the **** bar to move, and have to wiggle out of it. Even knowing that most of them cant squat half of that, it still is imbarrasing.

    Not messin' w/you at all, I just thought that you were being a bit harsh on our guy Messy here with the "finally the truth" and all. Messy was joking w/the other guy, not sure if you can see that or not, but that is why he used the " " emoticon.

    No biggie, it's just that we are all here to look/feel better about ourselves, and badgering someone to admit they won't post pics/don't workout/etc., just seemed very extreme.

    Bro, what are HALF the people doing here?

    That's not the point. Seeing as you are both members here, I believe learning to co-exist the the best thing to do.

    Anyhow, I'm done........time to eat, gotta get that protein!

    man why dont you guys go hijack another **** thread, I am sick of having a thread started, and the title says one thing and all it is, is a pissing contest!

    KingPin: I am 100% behind you on thi sbro, all messy does is play with his **** photoshop, and make useless replies IMHO. But please just try to ignore him, and it makes it a lot easier, people like him enjoy this that type of ****.

    ANYWAYS.. anyone know why I could have failed at this attempt? I mean shouldn't it be easier on the smith machine?

    Peace

    hard to say like you said it's alot easier on a smith but what I noticed when I was powerlifting is when I would max or go heavy I would just give out and kind of just fall on my ass one time and the next time i'll do it twice,depends on alot things especially pre-workout meal...You might have leaned foward to much to....Either way Ive done it and seen alot other ppl do it so don't let it get you down....

    See I was thinking that It was my confidence and that my workout partner wasnt there, since we always lift together, and yell at each other and call each other pussies and whatnot. This guy was just random, and he was looking athimself in the mirror while I was getting ready to squat, so I knew he wasn't really going to be ready to help me (which he didnt, I just fell to the bottom of the smith rack, lucky those stops where high enough, so that I didnt pop a knee or something). So I assume that might have messed me up. It could just have been those 3 days I didnt goto the gym because of holidays and snow around here (got more then I have ever seen since I moved to arkansas). I also put my feet way out in front of me while doing on smith, so It is a totally different possition, I probally should have just went light, but I wanted to get my **** 635!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    oh well, I will get it in 3 days when my friend gets back, and then I will be Mr. happy again. Now I just need to get my sad bench up, been trying everything, I just want a 325 or so bench, thats all =(. And I am only at like 255 now, which is sad, but my wheels are my power, and my deads are ok, I just want to concentrate on one powerlift at a time (while still doing my whole body routine) and maybe someday get into the powerlifting comps. Because I think I am made more like a powerifter then a BB, just because of genetics and I know myself.

    I put on the majority of my weight powerlifting it got to the point where I was going to heavy and hurting myself....So now I go in and get a good break,pump,and strech in my muscles and Iam done...I still kept most of the muscle from powerlifting...Alot pro's were powerlifters..Just can't hurt myself again...
