It is, 725 is a lot of weight. In fact I believe it probably contributed to a severe back injury later in life. At the time I was a division 1 college heavyweight wrestler that was forced to drop out and NEEDED an athletic outlet badly. So I lived in the weight room and chased numbers. I wasn't the healthiest mentally at the time and channeled all of that into it. I actually wouldn't recommend that level of lifting unless you LOVE it.
- eredengrin 6y agoNo need to worry, I don't plan on aiming for that level by a long shot. I'd be happy to hit 4 plates on my squat and would probably go into maintenance mode at that point, although not sure if I'll ever even hit that. Sounds basic but the comment I replied to is exactly my issues, consistency and staying injury free - college years consistency was a problem with homework/sleep, post college years I seem to be injury prone in my non-lifting athletic activities (I'm convinced my knees hate me), and obviously this past year I've also lost a ton of progress with no access to weights. Hoping to come back with a vengeance once gyms reopen.
