At 21...you have no where to go but up...considering your current lifts and weight, you are on your way to being a beast...it all depends on how you train man.

Then you are killing it man...those are some good stats....I have met several BBs that are strong as hell and it is always impressive to see that kind of strength and the physique to match
I'm in the same boat. I don't lift for PR often but I mess around here and there.
I could round up a 1500 no problem. Havnt gone much above that.

Squat is the main bitch for me too. Even with sleeves. My knees just won't support much above 500. Lower back is usually ok as long as it's cooperating that day.

at least you guys can squat period... the second a barbell goes on my back, its out of place... i don't even attempt it... i know whats coming... i have to consolidate with walking lunges... even front squats cause my back issue with the bar in front... i don't even mess with it... there's a lot of other movements there though

Back problems suck for sure. Between my back and neck I'm screwed lol.

Thanks brother. All the complements help me keep pushing to get even better. I just can't do certain exercises anymore until I get the discs fixed someday.
I have difficulty squatting at meets because I am unable to grab the bar behind my back....physically can't do it....it takes a lot of work to get it done...When I am training I use a yoke bar
Yup...it sucks

Who's your guy's favorite powerlifters that you look up to? The people that got me into doing powerlifting training were Pete rubish and Johnny Candito.

I somewhat used to be there myself. It's taken years for me to get my back right between chiropractor visits and slowly building it up to handle weights. I can now finally just within the last year deadliift and squat without pain. I know your situation is different and quite worse though, to,I got away those movements as options
Wow...nice post..I will try some of this and see if it helps...I had a mobility guy rat I worked with last year for 6 months or so and he just finally gave up because I simply wasn't making progress....but he was relatively new to the craft and not sure he was equipped to deal with my issues...it's time to try again
What do you guys think of the reverse hyper to correct back and hip issues? I just found a gym with one so I am going to try and incorporate it into my workout 2d a week...has anyone used it? If so, what results?

Thanks man...well most people think I am crazy but I used 2 main techniques to improve my DL. ..The first technique is pretty standard. .. I ran max effort singles to get a that days max and then start my sets at 80% of that max for 10, then 8, then failure to max again. I did this twice a week. the second technique is what people say is crazy. I would drop set from max without stopping until I reached 135 lbs on the bar. I did this once every 5 deadlift workouts...not sure if it will work for you but it helped me....be careful of those drop sets so you don't injure yourself.
Well I hope that is true...going to start incorporating it
