When you are 6’5" and a really large frame you can hold your weight pretty good. Even when I was 362 I still had a slight V shape it was really more rectangular but the bottom was smaller than the top.

Ya, I’m envious of the height man. Us 5’9" guys can’t gain any fat without looking like crap!

but short guys can lift tons of weight because of short levers.

HAHA, my body must have missed that memo 
You’re right though. We do have an advantage in certain lifts.
Time for an update:
I’m old and not training as regularly as I should be. But this week for bench I got 225 5x5 again. I did military press 3x10 at 135 (but I had to push press the last 4 on the 3rd set). Squats I’m feeling strong, but haven’t really gone heavy in awhile. I did 1x10@225 and 2x8@275 yesterday though. (Felt pretty bad doing it, but it was at the end of my training). DL I haven’t gone heavy in awhile…been throwing on 275 for reps. I’m sitting around 185lbs bw and doing 5x5 pullups with some ease. I’ve thrown on 25lbs on a chain last week and did pretty bad trying to go 4x6 I think.
Maybe I’ll get motivated and try to throw up a video sometime soon-ish

Below was supposed to be a hang clean was more like a power clean then front squat. I;m still learning the O lifts. This was Tuesday night.

@ Cortes - looking back through the thread and was wondering how do you bench what you squat? That hurts my brain 
Impressive lifts non the less.

^ Ya, outside is nice. Makes me wish I lived in a place where it doesn’t rain as much. Or where it’s warm year round.
^ Nice! I wouldn’t mind having a nice set of DBs like you.
I do a lot of unilateral work , also my wrestling mat is my fav:)

I sent a picture of a trap bar with 335 on it yesterday to Tiribulus. I have no clue how to post pictures here. I lifted it 3 times. Could have gone to 5-6, but stopped because of concern for my back.
I was laid up for 2 days unable to feel my legs. I was 362 lbs and on my way to 400, and it was hard to wipe my own butt, but this episode got me back in gear. It took my wife and I 2 hours to get to an urgent care facility because I was in so much pain. So much pain there was vomiting. Every bump in the road was painful, but I could not feel my legs. Probably should have called an ambulance. They gave me muscle relaxers, ibuprophen, and narcotics to help with everything. 2 days later I could feel my legs again, and was able to start moving a little. Another day and I was back to normal. 2 days later I was in the gym doing cardio. 2 months later doing weights. That was 9 months ago. I have lost 50 lbs total weight.
Monday I benched 265 lbs with no spot.
Tuesday I trap bared the 335 lbs for 3 reps.
Friday I am going to try and squat 315.
I have really been concentrating on my weak points, grip, hammies, glutes, back, and hip flexors. Still getting stronger, but not going to push it to the limit.[/quote]
Just caught this…Great story.
Congratulations on getting your health back and finding your motivation again.
I did shoulders yesterday.
BN Presses sitting down 5x5 115,120,125,130,135
Jacked up my knee (twist or sprain dont really know, but getting better with 800mg advil and ice) last week doing Push Presses so this week had to make sure no knee bending.
Shoulder triad a little different
Front Raises, Lat Raises, Reverse Raises 3x8 25lb db in each hand
Close Bench 3x12 135,140,145
Tricep Push down with rope attachment 3x10 90lbs
