    I have no idea. The only way to find out is to try.
    Squats work better than supplements.
    "You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei

    I'd say you can. In two months I went from practicing squats with 145 to practicing with 200 for the same amount of reps. So that 55 lbs in two months. So I'd say you definately can.
    Currently:
    age: 15
    height:5'8.5"
    weight: 143
    bench: 185
    squat: 225x15
    Goals by January '08:
    weight: 145-150
    bench: 210
    squat: 250x10

    If that is the case, then your signature makes no sense.

    Two months 50lbs? If you've just started lifting it may be possible. Like the above said, how should we know? How could anyone know that answer?

    .. so much observation Superman.
    Starting over...

    It is possible, but the only way to know is to try it.

    Are you talking about how I said I don't know what I can aquat? Because in my signature I'm just putting maxes. I haven't maxed out on squats. I intend to soon though.

    No. 55 lbs in two months. And I've been lifting for a year. Though I did stop for like 5 months for rowing season.

    You should be able too... especially if you are new to lifting. Over what period of time is more the question. You are in high school, so because you are young I would expect you to get stronger fairly quickly.
