I dont know what Im at, Im still working up 5 lbs per week, currently at 180. I have done 205 before but only for 3 reps.I would have thought you were beyond that. Not saying there is anything wrong with it.
I probably would fail a single 225 rep right now even though my legs are plenty strong. Its an issue of technique and core strength. I need to go slow.
I only started barbel squattin a couple months ago and I only weigh 160, there is a learning curve I need to have and Im sticking strictly to 5x5 protocols. But im only squatting 1 time per week so its gonna take a minimum 10 weeks to get there.

I would love to see you post some videos of your work outs.
No. Either way most people cant fukk with that much weight. I know one dude that does 225 for reps on the seated bb press but he's 255lbs and squats 905, so....
Are there many people that can do this?
Wait...are you talking sitting or standing?
With pike press you place most of your bodyweight on your shoulders without risk. It's like a semi-handstand pushup.
The trick is to lean forward taking the weight off your feet. Imagine your feet aren't there. Good example of bodyweight stuff requiring more of a mind muscle connection than weightlifting.

I'm making slight slight progress.
I just want massive calves
Switch up to.training legs 3 times a week.
I do calf raises on the steps and then seated calf raises after each set.
Squats are a must but the weight is light due to me fixing my squats.
I know the pic is
but this is improvement for me. Everyone has that one stubborn part on their body mine are my calves.
Big calves are hard to get for black folks

The worst part is that I'm the fukking manager of a gym
But I've got a fukked up back, and knees so unless I'm curling 24/7 there ain't shyt I can do right now that wont irritate something.
Doctors refuse to believe a young healthy person could be actually injured up here in free healthcare land.
I went to the doctor to check out my knees and theytook a quick look and were like "Ya you prob need insoles, you'll be aiight"
Like are you going to back that up with medical testing or are you just assuming?? because like I'm a cyclist. my knees see about 60-100 Rotations per minute like that's a bit more than the average walking wear and tear brah and my mom had whack assed joints too just lemme get an mri to see whether it's just muscular or I actually screwed something up, damn.
Plus working in a gym, and working out there is SO fukkING ANNOYING. Got like 50 people coming up like "Excuse me, there is a paper holder out of paper" "there's someone at the door" "Omg can I cancel my membership with you??" "Hey I'm on a trial but I want to sign up" *phone rings* *pt needs something* etc etc etc etc
I'm going to get a membership elsewhere once my work stuff gets sorted and they decide what location I'll be working at, since it's all up in the air right now.
My calves are no betterI just want that upside down heart
Any advice
