I am 173cm, and weighed about 60kg at the beginning, up to about 68-69kg with the 120 squat. Similar bf% Since then I've only gone up to 71kg in 8-9 years, and just barely cracked 150kg squat as a 1RM, and 140x5 | ||

Even if you would have superior nutrition, bulk super dirty and focus completely on strength, it's very unlikely that anyone would be able to manage a 120kg squat within 3 months. If you're talking about your 1RM, it might be a bit more likely but still very suspicious. 3 months is 12 weeks, that's like a single workout program cycle. I am well aware that beginners improve extremely rapidly but this just seems to be really suspicious. p.s. If you have extremely high bodyfat (e.g. >25%) and/or if you would have extremely small legs compared to your upper body, I would be slightly more inclined to believe you, but it's still very doubtful. When I came to Uni I hadn't done weights at all before, and I weighed 100kg. I don't think a 1.2xBW squat would be unreasonable to achieve in 3 months. | ||

I was at around 78 kg BW and I went from 60 to 100 5 RM in 2.5 months when I first started. You can definitely get a 120 1RM if you train hard for three months. I was in school and had a lot of free time, so I ate really well and had a lot of rest. The point is, it's definitely possible. With SS, you can go up by roughly 7 kg every week assuming linear progression. | ||
