I tried 385lbs one time. I can go a little lower. I can go a little heavier. I do think it was legit powerlifting white flag depth. I agree you are going 2 inches lower that isnt really required in powerlifting though. I also dont really care about powerlifting though. My goal is stability and strength and growth. I do train for growth. I did a single for shits and giggles. I also had a bad angle on the shot. I took a week off snowboarding since then and have a cold and swollen knee now otherwise I would have done the 405 Friday for my birthday. I will still squat the 405 for Xmas. I am sure you will all say it is too high. But you all said it would crush me. So, we can argue about a couple inches on Xmas it will improve. I am 210lbs and lean right now. I will go for the 405 then work towards the 420 double. I also took time off after show. I am not bulking. But its not about the single the work I am putting in at lighter weights and reps is what is changing my legs. I had a 2nd rep in me at 385, I almost went for 2, I def could have gone lower. I did a 10 rep set at 225 then a 5 rep set at 315 and a single at 345 and 365 prior to the 385. Lower weights are being used I dont just start at my max. I used the belt for the 385 only as I was getting a lower back pump. I like higher rep lower weight sets just doing a single for fun
Can you say delusion
