None yet. I didn't plan on using them for another 12 weeks. That's when most of my working sets will be around 500 and above.
What kind do you recommend?

The only ones I've ever used are the regular Slingshot ones. I get about 50lbs out of them. @acoll83 that used to post here got around 100lbs out of his Powerbelly Death Row wraps. I tried to buy some for over six months and they were always out of stock. Just checked and they still are.

Knee Wrap Reference Page
Your stance and squatting style will determine which ones work best for you.
I have been trying get the powerbelly King Kong wraps for a while now as well. Always out of stock. I have even tried contacting them to no avail. I have gotten 80 lbs out of Titan Signature gold knee wraps.
Yeah, I've done all that, too. Even reached them and they told me they'd send me an invoice and ship me a pair and then that never happened.
Sucks because their wraps have good reviews. I also have reached out to APT and I am still waiting on Strangulator knee wraps going on almost a year now.
lol, went that route, too. My ex ordered and paid for some of those for me and they still hadn't shown up months later when we broke up.
I believe the guy that owns APT is Alan. We spoke through email. He supposedly is a veteran and worked for the CIA. We had lengthy conversations. He even sent me a pair of double ply wrist wraps that I can't wear they are so stiff lol... He told me that his tailor or seamstress is gone and he was in the process of trying to finding another person for his materials as well.

I squat with a shoulder width stance, and drop into the hole fairly fast. So from that chart it looks like I would benefit more from something with better rebound? I'll see if I can't find a video of my self squatting heavy, I usually don't video myself lifting though but in sure I have one somewhere
I never got that far with them since my ex ordered them. I don't know if she ever got her money back or not.
That's pretty much what mine is, maybe slightly wider than shoulder width, fast descent. Yeah, rebound is what you want. All I can say of the Slingshot ones is you should get 50lbs out of them. I know there's better options out there, but they're the only ones I've tried so far.
Which chart are you referencing?
The one I linked him to a few posts back.

I thought this was kind of funny.
So the owners called me in out of the blue yesterday. Told me to sit down and they were looking at me all seriously. Lol. I instantly thought, "FUCK! They must've gotten tipped off and ran a background check on me. I'm fucked.."
Well, they told me that the guy I was supposed to be taking over for decided not to retire. Then they asked me the weirdest question. They said, "We really like your skills, attitude, and work ethic. So we would like to give you another offer. We just had a management position open in f&I. Now don't worry, we'll provide training. Does this sound like something you might like?" So I said, "Well, how is the pay?" They just laughed, then the one guy said, "It's a decent amount more." Lol. I was like, well wtf is there to think about then? Lol. Shit... I'm a fucking felon with no high school diploma and you're telling me you're going to pay me more than my already guaranteed 62k a year to sit on my ass? Psh.. Yeah let me think about it.... AHH.... YES!! Lol

They might have but they are still impressed with you. My felon buddy works for a 400 million dollar mormon owned company. They were impressed with his work ethic and gave him a pass.
Good job man!

I haven't been updating lately because work and personal life have been a little overwhelming so my workouts have been pretty unimpressive.
On a positive note, I'm now officially trained in and scheduled 9-5 m-f. So now I can go back to kicking ass in the gym. I just did a bunch of stuff for arms yesterday, so I'm going to take today off then start back up my program tomorrow.

Weight today, 200.4
Workout was,
3x9 atg squats @ 330lbs
3x9 3 second paused bench @ 250lbs
3x7 deadlifts @ 405lbs
Bumped the weights down a bit to ease back into it. Also going to "try" to start cutting down to 83kg. Not sure if I'll be able to make it. Lol. Going to give it a shot though.

Figured I'd update my macros since I'll be cutting. I'm starting off with,
210 grams of protein
310 grams of carbs
75 grams of fat.
I'll keep my protein the same but probably slowly drop my fats Untill I get to 40 grams, then start cutting the carbs until I either can't handle cutting anymore or I reach 85ish kg
