Locky Progressing Well
The above video is of Locky back squatting 70kg for 5 reps. He is around the 58kg body weight mark and is still only 8 months or so into his training.
This is very good progress considering he could barely squat the empty bar when he began. His technique was already pretty good but he just lacked the strength. For most people it is the opposite way around. We have progressed slowly but everything is coming along nicely. He started at 46kg body weight as well and is now at 58kg. Again we didn't rush this. He has dropped about 2% body fat whilst adding this weight to the scale. It just shows that if you are consistent, work hard, and be patient, you will get the results you deserve.
There is plenty of time to keep progressing before the start of the Harold Matthews season so it will be good to see where Locky and all the other boys can get to and see those results transfer into their performances on the field.

Back Squat Progress - Locky
Lochlann Davies back squatting 57.5kg for 8 reps @ 53kg body weight.
Now this isn't a world record lift by any means. I am not showing for that reason. I am showing it to make the point that lifting is about progress and bettering yourself. It doesn't matter what others can lift. As Ed Coan has said many times "your numbers are your numbers and you should be proud of them".
When Locky started just a few months ago he weighed 47kg and couldn't squat the bar. This wasn't due to mobility or extremely poor technique like a lot of beginners, he just wasn't strong enough at that point. After doing some general preparation work he has built up a pretty decent squat for where he is at in his lifting life. As a rugby league player it is about being healthy to perform on the field, so being in season and still progressing in strength is a bonus.
This wasn't a maximal lift but we won't try and drive weight up from here next workout. We will consolidate the technique first and then start to add more weight once every rep is solid. There are many ways to progress than simply adding more weight to the bar each week or adding reps.
