Just thought I'd post a video of me maxing out from around January. It was my max-out day and my previous best was 365, I hit it easily, then moved up to 385, hit it, 405 hit it, and then this is my last set of 425. The rep was slow and form is kind of sloppy but hey it's meet passable and a 50 lb PR.

I'd like to guess that my 1RM is right around 475 right now. Going from 315 x 1 to 475 x 1 in less than a year isn't too shabby.
...embed didn't work not sure why

Looks like a solid lift to me. You went pretty deep. Tell your spotter to do some calf raises. He's got some chicken legs.

Haha we have an on-going rivalry between powerlifting and bodybuilding. He's totally upper-body oriented, even though he has a freakishly strong bench. I saw him crank out 365 x 2 and he only weighs 190 at 6'1. He squats and deadlifts, pretty well actually but its just not where his focus is I guess.

solid lift bud, but tell that fool to do something, legs are important in bodybuilding too, and the dude looks like he's been in a wheel chair his whole life
