Just keep working on it bro...if your form and technique are dialed you may be able to push heavier, just keep it up and make sure you do full range of motion...for a little guy not bad!

Haha thanks. I was shocked by it when I decided to do it. Got my bro to video it and I like to watch it a lot haha.
You mean Smith machine? Start free squats, don't use a Smith to start out.
don't use the smith...its a sure way TO ruin your knees and lower back...the motion isn't correct
it will also build muscle unevenly which will predispose you to MORE knee problems
how deep can you squat with no weight at all?
thats how deep you should be hitting it with the barbell with the same motion
theres a lot of ongoing debate about if your knees go past your toes...how far to lean back...etc etc
most of it is bulllshit to put it bluntly as long as the angle of your tibia and your back is the same youre in good shape
point your toes out just a tad for a stance and your knees will follow
the squat is one of those things thats incredibly over thought out
properly done squats will stabilize your knees and should help resolve your current knee problems....do squats in a power/squat rack and see where the safety catches the bar in case you should have to bail out of the lift

Not bad for a first time, but in a couple months you should be squatting atleast double your body weight. work on technique, it is key to squatting big weights. Build your hams, glutes, abs, lower back, and hips for a massive squat.
right...except he is almost at double his bodyweight...haha
so yeah..its excellent minus the smith

Then not really as the Smith makes it way easier. Plus you dont have to stabilize it, and Im almost certain hes not hitting depth with 205. Within a year of hard work he.could legitimately squat 260+.
don't worry right now how much you can do. you need to put on weight .. its starts with DIET DIET DIET. and busting your ass in the weight room.. it will take time, its obvious your genetics aren't good.. but it doesn't mean you cannot still excell at lifting and reach realistic goals!
I dont even think it would take a year..and I agree...the smith is useless for knowing how much weight you can really do.
but steve is really spot on...kids skinny

I agree Weight gain is the most important aspect at this point for him.

Anything that keeps you motivated! Don't worry about if it's a lot of weight compared to other people, you're trying to set and break YOUR records and goals. Start a journal tonight and put a date and how much you lift on everything. It's very important for many reasons but also nice to flip through from time to time and see how far you've come!
soulthief is spot on...do not worry about other peoples weights at all..ever
you are going against YOU thats it..
I don't lift with any women, only men and if I worried about my weights compared to theirs I'd quit...and I outweigh you by a lot
