I'm in the process of a trying to max out my squat and deadlift. Max squat is 315 for 1 rep. Deadlift is in the 350 area as we speak. Not too bad for barely being 160 lbs. Any ideas on how to bring my squat up more? Also, I am squatting a lot, which helps me not hate leg day, because my legs aren't as sore anymore.

What have you done in the past? Depending on your experience level you could see gains from a basic linear progression like Starting Strength or Texas Method/ 531 may be a better option if you're a more advanced lifter.

I started with stronglifts 5x5 (similar to starting strength) now I am on their 1x5. I recently was squatting 300 lbs, but since deloaded to 265 to focus on my form and make sure I was going low enough. I have been doing squatting heavy for almost a year now. I have heard of Smolov, but have heard that it's ridiculously difficult. I would like to get my squat a bit higher before trying Smolov. What would you recommend?

Oh the days of being 160 and dead lifting 375. Now I'm 195 and probably would only get a few reps with 250.

With that said, things are about to change. Found a real nice gym, right on my way home from work, which allows me to cram in an hour workout before I have to pick up my son.

Denver gym and fitness, I highly recommend it, small but nice new equipment, and has everything you need, nothing you don't.

Haha, once you are back to lifting all the time it'll jump back up.
