Nailed a 315 squat for a triple today. PR. I know my depth was solid too but the last one was a grinder on the way up. Whatever -- still feels good. I don't see many guys in my gym working with 3 plate+ squats and half of the ones that do are filthy half-reppers.

I claimed a 1.5x body weight squat after 8 months of work, you claimed a 2x body weight bench press after a year of work and losing 100lbs of body weight. That's top .01 percentile shit man.
I know you're just kidding (about the competition) -- and honestly maybe I'm just a little salty given how shitty my bench press is. I'm 30 and have never bench pressed seriously in my life until now and its annoying watching people way younger than me put up two plates when I'm still at least a few months away from that, lol.

Did you bleed through your nose? It wasn't a true grinder if you didn't!
But a 315 squat is very nice. I just reached the 1/2/3/4 goal myself with a 405 pull on Friday night. 1000 pound club is very close.

Grats man -- I'm a while away from that. I think 5 years in the USMC gave me a headstart for lower body, and obviously the beginner routines (SS, SL) hit it hard too. I'm still about 2 months away from a 2 plate bench though. Super concerned about shoulder injury so taking it very slow.
I pulled 325x5 last Wednesday, starting to hit the point where it feels better to switch to mixed grip for my top set, otherwise I have to wait too long in between reps to let me hands prepare themselves. Still have a lot of newb gains to go on the DL.

I have an irrational issue with any accessories right now -- there are far too many men in my gym belting up for a 1 plate squat or strapping up for the 225lb dead. My attitude has been a: I'll go belt/strapless for as long as I feel like its working, then I'll look into it. I get the impression some people treat it as a crutch; I'd rather it be an option for me when I start closing in on a 4 plate squat/pull, rather than get used to it now.
If that makes sense.

The belt/strap crutch thing is really only an issue if you just care about the numbers.
I prefer the added safety, even if it feels like it pads my numbers a bit.

Yesterday was my leg day. Looked like this : 4 set of 25 squats. 4 sets of 10 leg press. Loaded lunges. 25 box jumps.
I have a hard time sitting and getting up today. I think having the box jumps at the end was a mistake. Requires too much power for ending the workout. Gf nearly tripped / face plant on the jumps at the end.

Just strap up dude. You're going to hurt yourself because you perceive others are judging you? Are you fucking kidding me? And yes, a mixed grip puts you at a much higher risk for injury than a double overhand. It also creates imbalances. Deadlift isn't a forearm exercise, do fucking farmer's walks if you want to at the end to make up for it.

When I hear 25 squats I think of some strange Crossfit exercise, but the mere fact that his post didn't mention Crossfit 37 times leads me to believe otherwise.
