Since there is a 500 and a 400 Squat Club i figure i add a 225 Squat Club. Granted Its not as Badass as 400 or 500 but i still think its an achievement.

My current 1RM is at 200lbs well below parellel. I Have about 4 more weeks left on this workout routine then i will try going for 225 cant wait.

Ya can't reach 300 without 225, or 400 without 300. I'm sure there are plenty of people on the site that'll be joining the club.

I shouldn't be too far off this at the moment

My best for reps is: 5x5 187lbs but I'll be testing my 1rm later this week

I've been stuck at 205# for one rep max on parallel squat for months. Goal is 225# by age 52 (November).

The best I've ever done is 205# but I'm only doing 185# right now. This will give me something to shoot for.
