    My best was 645 raw w/out wraps at the APF Show of Strength last June but I stretched my left LCL a little while doing it. I'm hoping to beat that this upcoming April at another APF meet but this time I'll be a 308 instead of a super heavy.

    Very impressive! IMO - you easily had another 20# on that effort!

    Better question to see people's response would be.... "Have you ever crapped your pants while trying to squat???"

    If you've never sharted while squatting, you're not squatting heavy enough.

    The title pretty much says it all. How much can you squat?

    Better question to see people's response would be.... "Have you ever crapped your pants while trying to squat???"

    one of my videos I posted up- I get set under the bar- then back out- and I start giggling..

    and I'm pretty sure you can *just* barely hear me say "never trust a fart on squat day. LULZ- because- NEVER trust a fart on squat day.

    Haha! I love people who are honest! I had to fail at the bottom of a rep a while back for that very reason, I knew if I went to "push" the weight up it would have ended very badly!!!

    285lbs (1X5) @ 170 body weight.. I just started incorporating squats and deads in October. I have been gradually increasing my strength. I fell it's a mental struggle for me to get stuck at the bottom. I have been trying to pass this blockage. I want to be able to rep out 315 sometime in January.

    The most I've ever done is 315. Haven't gone heavier since, but I doubt I can do much more just yet.

    A paltry 240 on 5X5 currently. I've never done a 1RM, I need to find me some spotters...

    I've been fighting to get past 5x405lbs. Full-on mental block as soon as I see four plates on the bar. :\

    Then put 2 plates, 2 35's and 1 quarter on each side. Srs. I do it with lifters that I train all the time, it works.

    Doesn't matter if you don't squat deep.. Learned that the hard way... back squat finally up to 315x2.

    I'm reduced to sets of 3-4 @275lbs because my hamstring has been bugging me.

    I think u mean doesn't count if u don't squat deep. In powerlifting ur hip joint must be below ur knees.below parallel.otherwise doesn't count

    Back squat: 270 1RM in September. Just finished a 6-week 5/3/1 cycle at 235 x 6.

    Front squat: 200 1RM in March. Only time I've ever tested it. I've been doing fronts as an assistance lift @150 x 8-10.

    5x5 is 140 which is my body weight. I have come to terms that I will never be able to pull huge #'s in the squat rack. I have a jacked up lower back and crap knees.

    truth- I've put 3 plates on my DL because I'm hovering at 305- and it hasn't worked- I mean- i've tried adding the two 5's- but that hasn't worked either- but yeah- extra big plates is an instant turn off LMAO.
