Meanwhile in Estonia …

Mart Seim Back Squatted 400kg today. A big milestone for the 25 year old.

No belt. No wraps.

Below the video is a quick Q&A. Follow him @martseim on instagram.

Of course I had to ask Mart a couple of questions…

Gregor: So what’s next?



Mart: Now the main focus is lifting (classic lifts) and Pulls again.

Gregor: the 400kg came quicker than I expected.

Mart: It was a little surprise for me too.

Gregor: When did you know that today was the day?

Mart: Just before the 400

Gregor: What were your warm up attempts?

Mart:

70/2×3

120/3

170/1

220/1

270/1

320/1

360/1

400/1

Gregor: 360 must have been fast today?

Mart: Nope 🙂 I still didn’t have the best feeling.

Gregor: but you just thought “let’s try 400”?

Mart: Well 400 was a motivating number. Now I have more time to focus on other things.

Gregor: Any specific numbers you want to hit on Pulls?

Mart: I don’t do max with Pulls. Just want to get Pulls feeling easy.

Gregor: Okay and how will your Squat training look like from now on?

once a week I will do some sets with 350kg or something like that

Mart: So far I did Squats as the first exercise in my training sessions.

Now I will do squats at the end of my training sessions.

I want to keep that strength. So once a week I will do some sets with 350kg or something like that.

I will squat 3 times per week.

Monday: Front Squat

Front Squat Wednesday: Back Squat

Back Squat Friday: some higher rep sets, like 270/6 or something. Light weight, but something to keep the legs working.
