I weighed 305#s and Competed in the 308s Class. I only use knee wraps on Squats I like Raw lifting at a Meet, makes you feel good knowing your Smashing Guys In the Elite Classes going Raw man. It's all about Raw Power to Me when I lift.

Back in the 80's I worked out at the same gym this powerlifting freak of nature did (Tony Conyers). Watching him lift was humbling as I outweighed him by 60lbs but couldn't come close to his lifts. He made it seem easy. Tony Conyers Raw Bench 42lbs @156lbs BW stronglifetampabay.com - YouTube. 605lb squat weighing 148lbs. Tony Conyers 65lbs Raw Squat @ 148lbs Body Weight! - YouTube

Very awesome man. Helps one of my top Trainers Holds over 126 World Records in Powerlifting in over 27 different Federation's. Not hard to Figure out who we're both From Texas and Reside in Texas lol. Holding one of the Worlds Biggest Records Currently.

This is my first hard plateau I have seen in a while, what is the best gains you guys have seen in a year

60 lbs in a year per lift is maybe attainable to a novice, but as time goes on putting 60 lbs on your total in a year (not each lift) is an accomplishment. 60 on each lift per year is 180 on the total, so in 4 years at that pace you would be one of the most elite lifters in earth regardless of weight class.

This is something that will depend a lot on your training age and body weight. If you still have a lot of room to go up in weight then there’s potentially more on the table, and if you haven’t been training for powerlifting for a long time you’ll have a lot of big quick gains ahead of you. I know you said you have been at it for 6 months, but the history before that will have some effect as well. If you did it for 5 years, took 2 off, and now have been back at it for 6 months you may catch back up to where you left off pretty quick by then slow down. If you’ve never powerlifted at all and have been at it for 6 months then for a year or two you’ll probably be moving up pretty fast. Just don’t left it kill your motivation when it slows down.

Conjugate style training is great for busting through plateaus, and even avoiding them. Try west side for a month or 2 and see if your lifts don’t start to move a little.
