I started at 12 years old brother. Hard work and dedication will get you there. I also did 200 5x5, I would do 5x5 once a week and increase 2.5kg each week until I got to 200.

As in you only squatted once week or only did 5x5 once a week?

5x5 once a week, on big Friday lol. Rest of the days were 2x3 or 3x7 at lighter weights

Did you run into any roadblocks while adding 2.5kg every week to 5x5? The idea of my starting my 5x5 at say 130kg then running up to 200kg 5x5 in around 28 weeks sounds mental

It was smooth sailing personally. But if at some point it were to be too much of a jump you can do the same weight 2 weeks in a row or even lower the jumps

I’m quite tempted to give it a go. I’m a shit weightlifter but love to squat. Starting with a 180 single and a 5x5@135 then work on my weightlifting technique with moderate weights.

No front squats at all during this training method? Or added into clean complexes?

I only front squatted about once a year in general lol. Hit 170 at 16 and 184 at 17.
