It will probably take me over a year, you all have a head start, but lets get it on!

Same here. I won't get back squatting until the new year, but 180 (184 rather) is my end of 2011 goal.

Lets's do it!

180kg is a long way away, but count me in!

While I sat on the beach having my knee wraps done up. I was thinking 180kg is going to be easy in a couple of months.
5x5 110kg tonight! Where is everyone else at?

Last squat session was a couple of singles at 140kg, next one is planned as 5 triples somewhere near 130-135kg. No wraps or belt (I don't have any...)

Sunday I also have heavy triples in my plan, starting at 115kg and working up.

Haha, did you pull that from google? That's Joel, who sometimes posts here. MVS represent :)

BTW when you do lift 180, get some better spotters than the ones in that picture.
