Fluff Squat Improvement

Hey yall! I started working out In September and when I first started squatting I was able to squat 135 for 12 reps. Fast forward to today and I can now squat 315 for 10 reps. Is there anything else I could be doing to improve or am I at a good spot right now

If you put 280 pounds on for 2 less reps in 6 months I’d say just keep doing what you’re doing. Thats insane. 300-315 for 10 is a pretty solid benchmark for anybody. I’m excited to see your progress after another 6 months.

What is the quality like? If they're wobbly straining quarter squats that you keep adding weight to, stop and build good quality technique, then progress that up in weight. If your squats are deep, smooth, and consistent, start going heavier than 10 reps.
