Finally I can squat 3 plates!!

Well sorry this is off topic but I am so stoked. I just finished my shoulder/legs workout this evening. I have put up 300x1 before but was feeling strong tonight. After warming up with less weight, I loaded 3 plates on each side and asked for a spot and told him to only help me if I said "help". I psyched myself up and went in for the kill. I lowered slowly (ASS TO THE FLOOR), paused then grunted and pushed it up no problem. After the rep I was like "thats it?" so cocky me tried for another, although halted after raising about 6" and lowered slowly down (thanks cage)! Don't worry I have squated for a long time and my form is good and lower back very tough and I know it is not smart to max out on squats very often.

The funny thing is I am 7 weeks off my first cycle and haven't lost any strength and have gained in a few exercises. Bodyweight is 200 at ~11%bf. Squats are my favorite exercise and I hope I get a much needed growth spurt in my upper body. Thanks for reading!

I was re-reading my post and I don't remember stating that I wasn't a newbie my fault.

Anyways there is no standard weight that "everybody" must be able to rep with to bring them out of newbie-ville. I am not juicing now and am not planning on another cycle for a while.

dude you should have been squating 315 natty

Nobody should not nead to sauce to squat even 315 for a couple of reps. If your 205 and 11% bf you should be warming up with that weight completely natural.

My Stats . ..

I am 173 today. Squatted 3 plates on 3 sets of 7 - I went deep. I then went to the smith machine loaded up two plates and a 25 - did lunge type squats and legs gave out on 2nd set 3rd rep. I love the "catchers" they saved my life. No flame, but I bet you could do more wieght.
Just my .02
