You have a very confident lifting style. And you are strong!
You mentioned Gillingham a while back. Are you familiar with his bench program? If so, I have some Q’s for you. I strongly considered it, but didn’t select it given my lack of faith in its ability to give me any strength gains.

Trying to get the quads a bit more, strength and development is out of balance and i think that has lead to some hip and groin issues when i get into heavy squatting
Jeez, 495 for 5 off a bumper is f***ing incredible. I’d be happy to get that for a single.
Great work.

Oh, how unfortunate for you…eye roll
Great stuff in here German! I’ll echo the others - strong work!
How tall are you?.. on the squats, it looks like you are all leg.
And at 201 lbs BW, your DL work is incredibly strong.
Very cool stuff in here, nice work.
