I need a workout shake from just watching that. Impressive.

IronReload 04 · 09-18-2005, 10:03 PM

thats why leg workouts are so tough. a great example of pure will power. Proving your body is STRONGER than your mind. or your mind is stronger than that little voice. i dunno, but i got some direction here.

Big Lee · 09-18-2005, 10:06 PM

You should see the rest of the video where he takes 12 breaths and does another 4 reps! LOL

Are you playing with my balls or what?
That shit was impressive

Big-Ron · 09-19-2005, 08:08 AM

Awsome!

Boys got some fair size too! and who says heavy weights dont make big people!

heavy hitter · 09-19-2005, 09:09 AM

nice and deep too. thats impressive

CONSTRUCTiCON · 09-19-2005, 09:35 AM

That is INSANE!

I am not knocking the lift in the slightest, but how is that 'nice and deep'?
Is it just me or is he not going below parallel?

I agree that given the weight, parallel 'can' be considered deep. But I always thought the definition for 'deep' was 'ass-to-grass'.

Someone comment on this...

Regardless of above overANALyzing, that is some trully awesome power!

oktapus · 09-19-2005, 11:16 AM

It's great to see a lifter move not only an insane amount of iron but actually do it with fairly strict form. That's the kind of gym I want to train at, with guys all pushing each other to bigger success.

What I'd like to know is who let shirtless lad into that gym....?

GerryT · 09-19-2005, 01:46 PM

Bless him and more power to him. That is amazing!

agreed dude...id rather see a 600lb squat ass to grass, but thats just me, not hating just my opinion...very impressive no doubt

grimsi · 09-19-2005, 03:34 PM

i don't know how that ass to the grass shit started but in my opinion it's a big misunderstanding. his form was perfect.

[QUOTE=grimsi]i don't know how that ass to the grass shit started but in my opinion it's a big misunderstanding. his form was perfect.[/QUOTE
]

ya know what, after watching it again, that was a pretty damn deep squat, just about as deep as he could go..but just for argument sake, the difference between squatting parallel and squatting hamstrings past calves is significant

quoted from powermanDL

"Work = force * distance

force = m*a; for purposes of this thought experiment, we'll say a = 1 just for the sake of simplicity.

So F1 = 350 lb*m/s^2 (or 160 kg*m/s^2 [Newtons])

F2 = 405 lb (184 kg*m/s^2 [N])

W1 = 160N * 85cm = 13.6 Newton-meters (or Joules, unit of work)

W2 = 184N * 57.5cm = 10.58 J

So using this example, all things being equal, the first set, 350 lbs with a full ROM, does slightly more work per rep. You'd need 520 lbs, in fact, with the parallel ROM to achieve the same work output."

(1) he's a powerlifter, a not bodybuilder...those are competition depth squats

(2) when you get to 700 x 5 you and john can sit down and have a lengthy discussion about nice and deep squats

bigcity · 09-19-2005, 08:38 PM

Remeber this is not a discussion of his form, HGes a PL and its impressive, And thoose guys dont gow ass to grass becasue there not trying to get big quads, They sqaut wide so they can squat big weight, which he is doing quite nicely. The reason they squat wide is becasue of the fact that your glutes and hams will be able to squat bigger weight. I personally thought his depth is great for a PL

tarmon8r · 09-19-2005, 08:42 PM

how bout the stick figure in the squatting suit at the end?

strjon · 09-20-2005, 12:25 AM

my, what an impressive fat gut !

**Doggcrapp** · 09-20-2005, 12:41 AM

Jeez--why so critical everyone? You ever put 720 on your back? I have (775) and it felt like a truck and a half, not fun---and i was doing partials---if i ever tried to do a full squat with that I would get tomato canned.

I dont care what he looks like, depth looks good--huge respect for that beast
