Squat I did 405 but I wasn't deep enough....I think I had about 5 inches to parrallel...So I don't think 405 is my max on squats....Also, a guy who did some powerlifting showed me another way to hold the bar on squats and that helped a lot. So I think...

  8. Warming up in order to Max

    Yea I think I have a general idea...but I was just wondering what everyone else does, and if the way that seems to work for me is a good method. And how much weight should I jump up before attempting my max. For example: I want to try 300. So is a good warmup: 135 for maybe 5 205 for 3 225...

  12. First Powerlifting Compeition in 16 weeks

    Just to clarify. I don't want everyone to think I just want to have a workout given to me without doing research. So far I've made pretty decent strength gains with my workout.
