holy crap, you started at 225? thats insane. you should be squatting 500 in no time if u can get to 315 in 4 months. reminds me of this kid on the football team at my school. he got up to 510 in a yearOriginally Posted by crawford62

DO NOT go ass to grass when maxing out thats bad for your knees and lower back.
When maxing out make sure to wear a belt, and i would suggest knee wraps to reduce injury to a minimum, better safe than sorry.

I went from 190 to parallel to 335 to parallel in just under a year. I think I gained 10 pounds in that time.

When you use that much weight, you cant go down that far without messing something up. When maxing you shouldnt go below or above parralel.Originally Posted by BIGnaturalBROCKAge: 17
