  • perhaps this might be around 140kg x5x3 for back squat for a healthy young man? Anyone here up around that level?

    I was in the mid 140's but 6 weeks into a cut atm and dropped quite a bit. I found 120kg the end of my linear progression then started mixing up volume and intensity, so 3 times a week were something like x8x5, x5x5 and a x3x3 or x2x3 and was as a steady increase from there. Also used a leg press and occasionally lifting chains and powerbands to mix things up.

  • Nice
    Ok, so maybe I was relatively close to limit of my possible LP, I got up to 117.5x5x3, absolutely grinding the last ones out, then I hurt my right knee (think it might be mild patella tendonitis) so squats are going to have to wait a bit until it feels right again. I'm up to 130x5 on deadlift, but this feels waaay easier comparatively, like it could keep going up for a bit longer without much change, thoughts?
