I’m not so sure mate. 190 to 315lbs! I’d say at least 2yrs unless you only worked on getting a jacked up squat.
87Kg to 143kg is 56Kg increase. Maybe 18months of solid training and it depends if your a beginner. Even then 56kg in 18months is impressive. Either way train hard and you will get it
Also how much do you weigh? Thats a factor for gaining strength.

That was what I was thinking too. 190 to 315 is a really long shot. My real goal though is 405, even if it takes me 5-10 years.
I’m a 5’7 ectomorph who weighs 150 (started at 120). I’d like to gain more weight, but my doctor recommends losing it considering I have a BP problem.
You can definately get 315lbs in 18-24months. I’m not going to say it is ‘easy’ as it isn’t going to be! To back squat 315lbs @ 150lbs! Or even if you weigh more it is always going to be near 2x bw. But with consistent training you can do it
My bros 70kg and can do 3reps @ 145kg for 5sets but he’s a power house and has been training for 7yrs but on and off for the past 4yrs. But at least does half the year. You will not find many guys able to triple 2x bw for 5sets in the same session! I’m quite a long way off 2x bw for 3reps x5set! Probably one set, maybe 2 as I’ve done 167.5kg for 3reps but then I’d be finished.
Koing
Are you serious?
I am working towards squatting 2x bw for 20 reps, I am 15kg away from it currently - well in theory I prolly won’t cos along the way I hope to gain a few kg’s of muscle heh ;P~
Being serious about what? My bros lifts? Yes I’m serious. He’s ranked 3rd in GB and only trains 3x a week and not all year around. Only for the Nationals he’ll train for 6-8 weeks before it.
2x bw for 20reps? f0ck me! I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do that ATG. Bro could probably bust out 6reps and be finished…

Hey Koing
My, “Are you serious?” comment (not said in a demeaning tone) was in reference to this paragraph of yours,
“My bros 70kg and can do 3reps @ 145kg for 5sets but he’s a power house and has been training for 7yrs but on and off for the past 4yrs. But at least does half the year.

I only said ‘are you serious?’ beacuase I have been squatting for just over a year now and have reached that level of strength in the squat.
At 62.5kg bodyweight I have squatted
130kg x 2
120kg x 5
110kg x 11 (breathing squats)
110kg x 5 x 5
105kg x 18 (breathing squats)
100kg x 20 (breathing squats)
100kg x 8 x 8
90kg x 21
60kg x 57
60kg x 28 (front squat)
62.5kg x 8 (overhead squat, clean grip)
(all raw, close stance and deep - I have videos of it all)
I have also lunged around a playing field from light post to light post with 40kg on my back, knee touching the ground on every lunge. It took me 2hours and was about 40sets of 15-20 lunges a set. 3-5mins rest. Just before the half way point I actually vommited(lol), and then kept going.
Now granted I only weigh a buck-sixty; squats, deadlifts, overhead press & rows are the staple of my routine, one would expect me to get fairly proficent in them… It’s just I am still a n00b (only been training hard for a 1 year) so that’s why when I read your post I was like “are you serious?”

Wait did you say you could do 2x bodyweight 20 times?! You have about 2x bodyweight right now for 2 and took about 2 years, thats pretty decent but you are very light also! Plus remember you saying you were active in some sport that involved your legs for many years also, that could have helped a bit.

Right now I could squat 125kg for maybe 3-5reps…which is 2x raw. I said my goal is to squat 120kg for 20 by which time I’d want to be weighing 70kg (having started the quest for 2x bw x 20 weighing 60kg…)
I played sport that involved my legs? Sure…I used to be a cross country runner hahahahaha sigh, also played field hockey, soccer, etc, to give you an example of how non-explosive I am in year 10 I ran a 14something 100m lol, how embarrassing
