I can't touch 500lbs on squat though. Not even for 1 rep, let alone 5. With that said, how come we never see pics of your wheels??

    WTF!!! My legs are at least your size, probably bigger TBH... yet I can't touch a 500lb squat. Just goes to show you that size doesn't always equate to strength, and vice versa (no offense). However, it could also have a lot to do with core and back strength/stability. But damnit, I'd like to hit a 500lb squat!! Ok, now you have me motivated. I'm gonna get there!

    If it makes u feel any better I can't get over 425 on squat lol but the size=strength is false to, cuz I think y'all's upper body is bigger then mine and I can rep 355x3 on bench...I have a 405 goal too lol closest I've gotten was 375....

    Definitely bro. You have to look no further than olympic lifters. I've seen a full clean and press of more than 3x bodyweight... INSANE. Something I couldn't even dream of.

    I definitely can't hit 355x3... MAYBE for 1... but i'm not even gonna try right now. Slow and steady... 325 in 2 weeks, then 335, etc. I'll get there!

    PS - based on your avy, i'm fairly certain you're bigger than me!

    Tbh - I think the bod pod is much closer, at least based on your avy. 7% is getting into shredded territory, which I just don't see. Calipers are only as accurate as the person taking the reading. It's why I won't get tested... makes me crazy. I had a trainer in the gym pinch me once (I think she only did a 5 site though) and had me at 11% when I knew I was AT LEAST 15. Meh. At the end of the day, go by what you see in the mirror.

    Yep, looking good. Vascularity in the legs is sweet. I'll get it back someday... still have it in the calves luckily... but on my fat ass thighs... nada!!! I was never able to get down with the leg shaving thing though. Maybe when they get bigger...
