Robert Förstemann Squats

August 11, 2012 By Gregor Winter

So by now you probably have seen the photos of track cyclist Robert Förstemann’s enormous Döner thighs.

It was all sparked by a tweet by Greg Henderson:

Robert Förstemann Huge Quads

These things are the opposite of all show no go.

Update 01.09.2014: He now squats what looks like 290kg for a double.

And what does he do to train them (besides doing countless rounds on the track)?

Squat 220kg x8

and  260kg x2

At the end the camera man says: “Me, personally, I will go home now and eat some quark.”

And that’s exactly what I’ll be doing now.

Update: 210kg x10 Squat

And a poser Squat workout session

    Ultimate T-rex. He has balls to squat as heavy as that in a commercial gym without a cage to fail in, or with bumpers to dump.

      no not really he has a gene defect which cause him to have less myostatin which causes to increase muscle growth…he once said that in german tv, he already had big legs when he was a little child..
