465 lbs squat?

Awesome, that means you could almost squat your partner from the background!

Yeah, Moose is running about 335-340 these days. He looks bigger on film than he does in person.

I did 510 for a solid, deep single about 2 mos. ago.

Also, what is your 1RM now?

[Norweige]

I did 510 after my third wave of 5/3/1, 2-3 months ago. I wear the knee and elbow sleeves, which are basically a heavy elastic but slip on and off easily, to keep the joints a little more warm. I don't get any carryover out of them, and would have no problem competing without them. Squatting is hard on my body. Thanks for the comment!

Good PR. What is the stuff that you have on your elbows and knees, and what is the tought about wearing it?
