Very nice squat numbers.
Well, to be fair its on the Hammer Squat V-Squat machine, which is roughly 2/3 of a normal barbell squat based on my experiences when I tested out both to compare the weight I was lifting from one to the other back when I was still barbell squatting. The most I've ever done on the HS V-Squat was 6 plates on each side and a 45 plate on top, which is 640 lbs(585 lbs + the carriage is 55 lbs), so in barbell squat terms, that is roughly 425 lbs give or take 25 pounds...I do them clean, all the way to the bottom until the base hits and then back up...none of this half ass shit see a lot of dudes doing in there...
I screwed up my knee really badly doing barbell squats about a year go and haven't done them since...probably needed to have surgery, knee was unstable for a few weeks and would almost buckle a few times a day just from walking...took about a month off from doing any sort of legs and then started back with just leg extensions...would really like to do barbell squats again as I know they are more effective that the HS Machine, but I am getting too old to risk blowing out a knee, not to mention that I am on my feet a lot of the day as a sales manager, so that wouldn't be good for my job...
Quads are up to 29", and my wife is always complaining about how my legs are too big and they are starting to look "gross", but leg day is my favorite day...love barely being able to walk after hitting heavy squats...and I like how my quads bulge out of my pant legs afterwards when I'm walking around the gym, lol!

Pace yourself, bro, but keep up the good work.
