Broke the 100kg(220lbs) barrier today, did 110kg(240lbs) which twice my weight, I'm pleased! 5 reps, 3 with good form, 2 were a bit off, was swinging some but it was also due to lack of focus, you think it would be realistic to aspire to reach to around 180kg(400lbs) within a year? or am I shooting too high?

GJDM just a couple of questions though....
could you describe swinging during HEAVY squats? i tend to want to goodmorning the weight if i dont watch my form closely but i dont think i have ever swung. just curious.
why dont you eat more?You would be surprised just how much time I have to waste.

Thanks! , yea I know good form is important, specially at high weights, but I did 4 clean sets of 100 and still had some juice left and just had to try 2xbody weight, think I'm gonna do the same twice more, then maybe see if I can push 3 sets of the 110, that's pretty much how I've been doing it so far with good results, well swinging maybe sounds a bit exaggerated but my balance shifted backwards some and I straitened up a bit, I eat and I know you all gonna say just eat more but my metabolism is really crazy fast and the more I eat the faster it gets and chasing it is just not worth the work imo, I keep a good diet and eat the max I can but I don't "force-feed", I continue to grow in strength and appearance, can't really see why the number in the scale should matter.

I skeptically congratulate you. Vid please.

Yea but by gaining strength by adding new muscle mass you loss relative strength which to me is more important then maximum strength, when my strength gains will start slowing down I'll go for some more mass but at the moment I just can't be hassled with trying to bulk. And no cam at the moment to take a video, should have in two weeks.

Depending on your weight it shifts. At your weight, you would need to pull about 480 for "elite" category. At my weight, I'd need about 550.

And at 120 lbs, your metabolism CANNOT be very high due to thermodynamic laws. You just eat little.
