465 Bench Squat and light back work

These two videos were not taken on the same day. I'm just compiling a little extra footage to show you guys what I've been up to for the past 3 months or so. Anyways, the 465 bench squat was a huge PR for me. I've only done these twice since my 425 video and that makes this a 40 pound PR without knee wraps. Even more impressive, it is 5 pounds higher than my best with knee wraps. This lift felt pretty easy, so I think I have a 480-500 in me within a few weeks. But probably won't be seen for a few more months because I rarely do these.

nice work man, these can be good to shock the body into growth and help the regular squat tremendously

Thanks for the encouragement, Lee. BTW, where have you been you big bastard?

back is looking ripped gavin! That 465 box squat was cake too, you looked good for reps man, you look good for 500 too! When you going to get into a meet man?? You overdue bro :P

I suppose I'll go enter a meet whenever I'm financially looking good for it, Jared. I don't have any money to travel with right now and the area around here that's closest that hosts competitions is 2 hours away. And that wouldn't be a fun time with a car that's slowly falling apart. I would love to get it fixed though.

You know, I feel the need to train a little bit longer until I retry any type of a max squat without a bench or box. Although I am going to resume training next week without anything underneath me and I am going to see if I can't squat 365 for a few reps or so. It's exciting and I can't wait for it.

I could have sworn I saw a video of you though. Or at least it was on your page?

@cyberkai99

I think you're mistaken, haven't made any videos yet but plan on it. Have only been lifting for about 3 years. Bench 275, squat 430, dead 455. Bodyweight at around 170lbs. My arm span/reach is like 80 inch maybe thats why my bench is so terrible lol. Maybe one day ill catch up to you :D

[cyberkai99]

Well that's badass man. I guess you and I both have something on the other. You have your pulls and I've got my bench. But just for the tie-breaker, what are you squatting, man? Also, I found your video very inspirational. I wish I had videos of me from my first day 4 years ago. I really saw your changes as huge man. Keep up the heavy lifting.
