new squat pr

no belt or wraps, ass to the floor, pulled off a solid 7 reps with 475lbs.
I've been adding 10lbs to the bar every week, and still getting 8 reps, this week only got 7, but I've never touched 475 for reps before. I have two weeks of this current training left, so I think I'll keep adding weight for the next two weeks, then shoot a new squat video, be nice if it was for 500lbs, but we'll see
On the bright side, my legs have never been this big, so its paying off

Since you told me about ATF squats, I have been doing them on hack squat machine and I have to admit I have felt no pressure on knees at all from doing them even with 400 or 500lb on the machine. I will switch to doing ATF squats straight up soon

nice
Its funny, because when people see me squatting that much, the first question is always about how much it hurts my knees, no one seems to believe me when I say it doesnt

Oh I envy you.
 
great pr man! i personally find squats are the only leg exercise that don't hurt my knees. that and maybe lunges.

leg press, extensions, leg curls etc all murder my knees.
