Don’t you think he should actually get 225 X 6 first ?
Jane I understand your point here. You should build a "base" and have a solid foundation before moving onto bigger weights.
But we are talking about Bhanks. He will pull a jedi mind trick on the 425 so it will feel like 135. Powerlifting is 75% mental, 15% having the proper equipment (knee braces, belt,etc.) 7% technique and 3% physical strength.
Mentally Brian can not be beat and having the right mindset is the real battle. Tbh i'm a little disappointed he's not going heavier but I also get it.
So to answer your question, no 225 is a waste of time for where bhanks is going. He is living the mantra of "go big or go home".
