I agree with this.
So much can go wrong when your body is under load and fatigued.
He’d be better off lowering the weight to something he can do for 40 reps on his birthday than to potentially get injured on his birthday
How do build up to squatting 225 x 40?

Get gains forever or whatever Black Panther said.
Self select yourself for a trip to snap city brehs..............Not sure why you're laughing. Thats how I see belts
Yea I saw the thread yesterday,...was gonna tag you, but like I said before about these thread.............@trap101
Belts aren't "a dangerous crutch" they're just a tool to help with bracing.
You can get folded in half with or without a belt.
A solid 13mm belt would def make your goal easier to achieve though.
With the type of breathing advice you're giving I would hesitate to put "heavy" in the same sentence as "lift".............You right, lifting heavy enough for my colon to fall out so I can brag to other males ain’t my thing but I know others get off to that

Read the book Super Squats it's a classic program thats hard af
Super Squats: Amazon.com
"Every man should challenge their self to at do their body weight on their back with the 20 rep squat.,"
I came across a technique in muscle media magazine, which unfortunately went out of business in the early 2000s. Although the technique existed before the article, it was the first time I had heard of it. I cannot find the exact magazine article but found similar articles. The second article is particularly relevant to the original article as it was written by Charles Poliquin, who co-owned the Poliquin Group.

Workout Systems: 20-Rep Squats | Poliquin Article (poliquingroup.com)
I suggest trying the workout mentioned in these articles, despite the comments about breathing squats. The workout is intense, but effective. The author of the article, Charles Poliquin, has trained 26 Olympic medalists, proving its success. Poliquin utilized this method to teach his athletes that they were leaving many reps on the table, just like most people. If someone disagrees with Poliquin's approach in this thread, they should provide receipts before their opinion is taken seriously.
If you give it a try, let me know what you think. I'd like to know if it was as shocking to you as it was to me when I discovered I never came close to trying as hard as I could
