That seems to be the weight I stick at most often, 275.
I'd really like to surpass the 300lb mark someday I think... I've been close but honestly, things get a little precarious above 280. Every extra 5 pounds feels like 15 to me.
If I hit 300, I'd like to check out a strongman competition.
How tall are you @Eman?

Had to sacrifice some height for more width...
I was joking about the shrinking thing because my younger brother has officially grown taller than me, which was a hard pill to swallow, but my mom said he's only 6'-1". But he's noticeably taller than me, not just by an inch I don't think. So either she's mistaken or I actually did shrink lol.
I would like to have reached 6'-2" or so... Shouldn't have tried smoking ciggarettes in my teens.

Like Perrin said, its personally preference. but generally speaking, guys that are 250+ that pull conventional stand a little wider. when i pulled conventional, my feet were just like Perrins. maybe 4-8 inches apart.
with squats thats all personal preference too. play around with it and see what feels the best. with weigh change often times where you have to place your feet changes.
id reccomend taking video of yourself doing single of the same weight with different stances and see which one moves the fastest also

Thanks man! Is that the ultimate goal? Just to move the weight fast? I guess I would've assumed that all that matters is smooth. But you mean your wanna move it fast to keep muscles under tension for the least amount of time, to keep moving weight?

This was previously my little brother's bathroom. He moved out right before I was forced to move in last year. You already know that whole tale. Anyway, my grandma painted this mural on the walls when he was little. Before she got dementia she was quite the artist.
Yes, moving that weight smoothly without hitching is important. i think speed is something that needs to be looked at in the strength world. you cant always go by how it feels. Because that could be drastically different to how fast the weight actually moved. im not saying throw caution to the wind and just rip the shit off the floor. sometimes that will put you in a disadvantageous position later in the lift.
its just my opinion that speed of a lift needs to be looked at and is a useful tool to compare lifts over a peroid of time. or even within one set. how much faster was your first rep versus' your 5th rep? stuff like that.

If I can tear it off the floor fast enough I can almost always lock it out.
Hijack away, this thread is for everyone. I don't mind at all.

lol, a little late but it looks like a lot of us here struggle to gain weight. im on a bulk cycle as of this week and i noticed to feel the same full feeling through the day that im used to feeling when bulking i had to increase at least 600 calories. im up at 4.2-4.8k daily. im at 194 at the moment.

At least cutting is a breeze for us. All the eating on a bulk gets old though.

for us fat asses it complete opposite. I gained 20 lbs during my meet prep/cycle on 4000 cals. I gain easy, takes me about 2900 to start cutting!
I tried bulking but ended up getting bloated and it is hard to bulk for me as I get fat easy. I manage to do a slow bulk which takes a lot of time and slowly ramping up the cals.
Just came home today from Las Vegas..it was a great relaxing trip. Got some sun too!
Back to reality...and hitting the iron again tomorrow
