Awesome Chris, very deep squats too. I have seen people who ordinarily squat very deep cheat on the heavy lifts but not the case here.

Recently I have increased my determination to weigh the same as you but I hope I can still squat even 95 kg x 2 after the weight loss, lol.

190x2!

Shaun,

Thanks. The most reps I have ever done 190 for is 5 but I weighed 3-4 kgs more then. I am probably at my best ever squat strength right now as everything done so far has been easy. I think I can do 215@59 right now which will be a lifetime PR. Regardless of competiton, I am having fun lifting.  biggrin:)

Amazing strength! What were your best training lifts in the snatch and the clean and jerk in your prime Chris? And if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

Chris,
 Absolutely fantastic.  I didn't realize you were 37.  Even more impressive.    Thanks so much for all the time and effort.

All the best,
  Arden
