I do not have anything directly to say about it just one question natural or chemicaly enhanced also back when you were 19 you may have used improper technique as well as now not saying you are just saying it's a posible cause I would never squat 4x a week and I do not know of these routines I'll look into them tomoro morning and get back to you if you have no other feedback from other members ..no disrespect I'm not hating on ur form just stating posibilities

I started at 170 bodyweight and a less than 200 back squat, ended up with a 315 front squat and 205 jerk, gaining 20 pounds in bodyweight.

8 months training at 19. I think there were weeks where I'd squat for 8-10 sessions.

High frequency squatting works, whether you're a newb or you're elite.

That's what got me attracted to Smolov. It's just that there'd be high reps with fairly heavy weights. I think the total volume per week would be even higher than what I did, which is why I'm a little concerned...

I won't jump into it without acclimating for at least 3 months...
