i didnt doubt you are strong.you need some size on your calfs for me,no?

Genetics hes tall and has high insertions on calves.... i dunno if he work calves but i sure he does based on hid previous comments.

yea my calves suck, easily the weakest point. I do train them and ive been adding more volume to see if it helps

I don't do 1x maxes, but here's what I lift when I work out

Squat (easily my weakest): 190*10

Getting some volume in because i'll be leaving for 3 weeks for the gymnastic and cheerleading camp on august 4th. I might be able to lift at the gym once a week. Otherwise I'll do a lot of rings

Bw: 170-171

500x2 squats today
first day hitting 500 since my leg injury some months back

Your bench is really impressive imo considering your weight and everything
I've always had a huge chest but a terrible bench

Man my bench press used to be pretty weak too. 2 smolov jr cycles helped A LOT.

You should give it a try! What's your current bench m8? Also nice squat

Eh I've just given up on strength now haha.. I really only want size so I've been sticking to db bench and I haven't went over the 120s for high reps in awhile.

Given up on strength yet proceed to squat 500x2 haha

You're a closet powerlifter Shane

Strength training seems to have increased my volume capacity. benching 225 for reps when I used to struggle doing 6-7 reps with it.
