oh i do know ;) i've learned that the hard way. i've been squatting routinely / deadlifting hard for awhile now. your upper body #'s go up a lot once you really start doing intense squats and deadlifts.
my deadlift is pretty good for not having done it routinely for a long time... i can do 375x5 w/o straps or belts (i hate belts)... for squats, i'm not so strong on... i deep squat though so the #'s i put up aren't as impressive as most other people who squat... i stick with around 205x10 / 225x8 but no higher than that yet going this deep.
