going for your previous goal weight fam. mine right now.I’ve dropped 17lbs and 6% body fat. My goal weight was 200lbs, now my sights are set at 185Lbs and 8% body fat.
No idea why you wouldn't be in a cage with safety bars on each side if you're going that heavy.

approx. 215 lbs. target = 200 lbs. target duration = 2 months. start date = 2 days ago
Usually at that weight a single back spotter is all that's needed.
You just need someone to help you past the sticking point once the bar stops moving upwards. Worst case, the back spotter pulls the weight off your back while simultaneously pushing/kicking you out from under it.
Dude absolutely coulda dumped it behind him; it's on the spotter to get out of the way.
RIP though.

I take the safeties off the rack and squat outside of where they would be and I rarely have issues.
Learn to bail and you'll be good.
people should absolutely learn to bail if they plan on squatting, period. it’s easy to learn and you’ll never know when you’ll need to utilize it
Nice work you two Glad to know I'm not the only one cutting
Lee And His Sneaks - what are you using to track body fat%? I need to cop a device for that so I am open to suggestions from you and the thread as well!
Edit: Lee - if you don't mind me asking, what was your general routine and how long in between pics?
Hey no problem at all:
I use My Fitness Pal to track my diet. I used to hate calorie counting, but this one makes it seamless and fun. Holds you super accountable.
For the body fat tracking, there’s a machine at my gym, I forgot the name of it, I’ll get it for you next time. It weighs you, gives you your skeletal mass and BF. I weight myself 3x to make sure I got an accurate reading and it came up 10 every time.
I’ve incorporated fitness classes (GTX, Alpha Conditioning and Pilates) into my routine along with cardio.
I’ve eliminated sweets, juices, sodas and junk food. I’ve cut back on fried foods. Like maybe twice a month. I cheat once a week (food, not on wife). My cheating isn’t too heavy.
I took the pic on the left in December 2022, but I really started tracking in April. I stayed on the left for a good 4 months because I wasn’t dieting properly. Once I started tracking in April, that’s when I saw the drop.

Nah, I am messing with you, man That is all great information and like I said, congratulations on your progress thus far!
I'm going to look into My Fitness Pal and definitely let us know if you get the name of that body tracking machine. That is probably the one metric I have NEVER tracked but it's extremely important
sheesh just knocking out centuries.
a few my friends from SF just rode all the way down to LA. one of these fools did it fixed pulling a trailer. they split it up over 7 days. my legs and taint hurt just thinking about it
granted i have never been spotted for or spotted in that way but i just don’t understand that method with any sort of substantial weight, looks way more complicated

sun's been baking this past 2 weeks. already tanned which I don't prefer. like my fair complexion better. also, my wrist have those tan mark since I'm wearing my outdoor work watch most of the time. I don't even stay for too long under the sun but I guess it's just that sunny.
So you have no personal experience to draw on? Gotcha.
Remember this is lifting, it's not rocket science, the ish really is that simple.
FWIW most of the folks watching that clip are in the same boat, and an even smaller number of those people have even squatted 4 wheels.
There's a thread on the coli about this rn and most folks will swear you need safeties, but you can still snap your neck by rolling a loaded bar over it at the bottom of the rack on top of the safeties too.
I always spotted for got spot from the back. They miss pull up under their arms with your hands on their chest.
Spotted 180 pound dudes squatting 5 wheels with this method with no issue.
I’m weak with a 425 squat but get spotted the same.
You gotta learn to dump weight too if you get pinned solo.
You one of them man who got veins in their shins huh??
Ya'll seen that cat who died squatting 405? **** sad man. Spotter was in bad position, no safety bars
I can’t find the vid but at 405 they were trying to squat something the shouldn’t have even thought about trying or the spotter was trash or a combo of both.
link? …for research purposes of course
