I don't powerlift, but train using some PL principles. I am a firm believer in he who makes the most strength gains, makes the most muscle/size gains.

What is your current squat? Are we talking just breaking parallel or to the floor?

That is a pretty damn solid squat, if you are going deep :). You should be get 405x1 no problem.

Do you go this deep?

You can set the pins in a power rack so you can drop it on them if you need to.

That is pretty much ass to grass for sure. That dude has a hell of a squat.

sometimes i just dont want to fail and than have to take off the weights to put them back on lol
but if i have a spotter i try to do my best as possible to get as low as i can .to where i can feel it targetting the quads.

hell yah man somepeople cant squat as beast like that though since they are propotioned as well for it .

I have a friend who is a powerlifter and competes. No wraps, suits or shirts, all natural. There will be some upcoming meets in Prescott and Tombstone in the coming months.

I believe the one in Prescott is the state meet so there's a chance to see some new state and national records set.

SO! I found out they're both on the same days. Tombstone is March 26th and Prescott is 26th-27th :/

I just asked him and he said there was another one coming up on the 14th of Feb as well, in Peoria he THINKS lol Will get back to you on that one (not good if you're planning a hot date either) D:

But if you go to the Tombstone one, I'll see you there!
