This is an inspiring thread, and a great idea. I haven’t squatted with a barbell since pre Covid and I’m definitely not as strong as you all, but I think this kind of challenge would surely make you stronger and be a lot of fun.

If you were doing other programs ( I like doing Strong with double bells ), could you simply just do one day a week warming up and do some reps ?
 
Haven’t squatted with a barbell since 2019 but did 2 sets of 5 at 135lbs. Felt rusty but good. I wont make 225 for reps but I think I can work on 135 for reps.

I can say after a few years of kb work my depth is pretty good!

I don’t want to interfere with my main work, but I do have plans to do some barbell work again in future, so I think once a week I can add BB squats in. If for no other reason than practice.

@Boris Bachmann How do you, & calling the other guys on The List, feel about adding an age next the names on The List? Optional of course.
Just a thought to give chops to the “still grinding crew”.
Eg: @Jayrob ’s 405 looks impressive on the list, but if his age was next to that number, then it’s truly outstanding!

I'd pass on adding my own age to the list, but if you or anyone wants me to, I absolutely will!
