Rip:

On Monday, I will put 300 pounds on my back for the first time. I just got 295 tonight (set 3 posted below).

It's been a long battle to get my weights to this point. I started off squatting 155ish, weighing around 190-195 pounds at 6'4". I'm currently 215 and still have a ways to go. I've been through the SS lp before and failed/gave up a couple of years ago, but this time I committed myself to training, got stronger, busted through some sticking points and gained some fucking weight. I have struggled with low back problems along the way, but sticking to it has been the best prescription to follow. I am definitely the strongest I have ever been in my life, my back doesn't hurt anymore, and it feels awesome.

I just wanted to say thanks for the book, the site, and answering so many of my stupid questions along the way.

My stats (beginning to current work sets)
BW 195 --> 215
SQ: 155 -->295
DL: 185 --> 350
PC: 135 ---> 185
OP: 95 ---> 132.5

Sure. Proceed. Onward and upward.
