Well  I've never thought that Melvin could do that heavy squat. Very good form... Strong guy...

He could probably walk it out of the rack...down to parallel, no way I buy that.

I'm guessing that Kevin was referring to "hack" squats.  800 on the free bar?  Damn that's some good crack!  I woulda never guess he even smoked it! ;D

of course he did ::)

there's a better chance of milos squating 225 for 3 then that.

umm..lets not get carried away with the hyperboles here.  1 rep with a spotter maybe, but not 3
Here comes the money shot

That's why Kevin blew his lower back. I believe it's still hurting him. He used to bench heavy, no doubt, but he's paying for it these days

If Arvilla squatted 600, yes maybe Levrone is telling the truth.

LOL GOOD POINT!!!!

You see the Squadfather sucking up to Arvilla in every way possible and believing without a doubt his fabricated numbers but

If there is a guy 20 times better and bigger then arvilla who squats a 100 pound more.

Arvilla was benching 500+ for doubles back in the day too. I gotta call bullshit on that. That makes him stronger than many of the strong guys I grew up watching train like Tony Atlas, Rocky Johnson, Ken Patera, Ivan Putski etc...
