Sorry no offense but I don't see a max squat of 585. I don't even do that much for squat and my legs have twice the muscles yours do. You need to AT least go parallel for most of the time you are squatting. A lot of those maxes seem off, deadlifts with the amount of muscle you are packing in your back which isn't that much. I could see the shoulder press, I don't know about the bench though as you are truly lacking a good bit of muscle there.

You realize at your muscle level and those weights you are throwing around you be able to one day be the strongest bodybuilder in the world especially with the current level of muscle you have on your chest, back, and legs. All which need to be brought up tremendously if you want to compete seriously one day

Be less about the weight and more about developing your physique as a bodybuilder

IF you are doing that then you are a budding champion powerlifter and should switch over to that.

I really think you need to get more in touch with where you truly are at. You said you are going to bulk up to 275 and then compete at 250 on stage, with where you stand now that is 5+ years off, especially at the rate you have been progressing as you look pretty much the same from the last pics you posted in June. I've been able to show a tremendous amount of improvements in conditioning and size in both my legs, arms, and chest in that amount of time all while in CONTEST PREP.

The reason they are telling you to lean out is so you can get the water and fat off and be lean so you can be judged better. If you want to be a competitive bodybuilder you'll need to put your ego to be heavy to the side and sit back, diet down to see how much lean body mass you really are packing

I know this may hurt but its meant to hopefully knock you into being more realistic and less of giving people long drawn out excuses and explanations.

Good luck
wow dude dont hold back tell him how you REALLY feel..not need to beat around the bush.. and just so ya know looks are not everything.. there are guys who are half deuces size pushing more weight..just cause your legs are bigger DONT MEAN JACK SHIOT BUDDY there is a 14yrold at my gym 150lbs and 22" legs squating 315 for 13 FULL reps.. 1 in a billion i guess?
