380 nearly stapled me last night. I'm never hitting 440 within cutting range of 148.

i never imagined i would squat 400 pounds several years ago before i was introduced to how to train a year after i started lifting i hit 465 so onward and upward we go to 500+ at 190-200 bw

I can hit 440. That's not a question. And I can hit 400 as a 148er. But I just don't have the genetics to hit 440 as a 148er. I'm over it. Goodbye abs, hello 440.

put me in this. already at 182.5 at 66, and it is my last year as a junior next year and i would be damned if I do not give it my all and not hit 200kg by the time next year ends

I did the thing.

Just about back to where I started after a tiny injury in December. Competition in 8 days, hoping to attempt something in the 405-415 range for my third.

Good luck Adam!

I got 380x5x3 yesterday. I don't know about 440, but I imagine Id be able to get 405 at least once if I warmed up to it (which is crazy). Hopefully 440 soon.

Ugh I forgot about this thread! Congrats to everyone who has gotten into the club. My own training was disrupted for several weeks towards the end of last year and I went off TM. Managed a 193kg single on the last intensity day I did, and then decided to focus entirely on snatch/CJ and getting my knee healthy. Strength is down a bit, but I have two healthy knees again, so there's that. I'm good for 170-175kg on any given day for sets of 5, so hopefully I don't have too much ground to make up. Maybe 200 by the end of the summer?
