squat vid 500

ORIGINAL: stalloneIs#1toMe

on the spot note thats just how we do it in the gym for those kinds of weight may not look like it but he never touched or lifted at any point

The poundage you use shouldn't effect your depth.  If it does, then you should decrease the poundage.  If you are training for powerlifting your squat should always train surpassing parallel to practice technique - especially in the heavy lifts.

Don't give people the option to suggest that your spotter is helping you.  Get rid of him and use the Power Rack for it's intended purpose. It's made for a person to lift safely alone.

and well if that aint paralell dont know what is did 485 the set before and my ass almost hit the ankles i knew where to stop on this one

If you managed to squat 485lbs with your ass almost hitting your ankles then this would have been the strongest lift to present.

no need to go any lower than legal depth on a max

Again, you're above legal depth.  The lift would not fetch 3 white lights.

I'd much rather see you do well in a competition through constructive critique than pat you on your back and have you run the risk of failing.

If you are half serious about powerlifting then you'd already have squat depth down to a fine art.

That's my last peice of input here.

Cover the depth and you should be able to present some strong lifts in competition.

Good luck!

Ya man, nice goin!  500 lbs. is a nice a** squat!!  That does look like legal depth too, but it's hard to tell by that camera angle!

I wasn't going to post at all today I don't have the time. However, I had to comment on this... Stalone GOOD JOB!

You have come very, very far since you first posted to this site!!!

Oh so much better than your last video.

I am not qualified when it is THAT close to say yaeh that was legal, or nay, not low enough...

compared to kingkebabs diagram, I am inclined to agree, but it is really not clear to me. If I was you I would take Kingkebabs critque to heart, you have tons of potential, with the right advice and training... who knows how far you can go!

BUT none the less super good job.  Really you should be very please with your progress. I am proud of you.

Seeing that.. I have no problem believing that you hit 485 ass to ankles, .

really apreciate your everyones post
 
that really took alot out of me and then some every blood vessal in my nose and surrounding area was so tingly couldnt of been far from a bloody nose first time getting that feeling

bench - 305 lbs
squat - 505 lbs
dead - 550 lbs
only with a belt i dont care for suits

Yeah LOADS better than your previous vids stallone, seriously nice lift, in professional circles maybe it wasnt fully legal, but id say it was, and if it wasnt-it was damn close to legal.
 
Either way i doubt 99% of the population can go whatever bone parallel with 500lbs.
 
I doubt 99% of the population could even unrack the damn thing so be proud

MEEEEEE PROUD

its a little fuzzy but it will work
the last one i posted back in 05 or 06 was the saddest excuse of a squat ever but i hope this one looks better

Not really parallel but much better than the squats we see here. Never let your spotter touch you.

If you need help finishing the lift tell him to touch the bar. If you don't, tell him to stay away.

I must be going blind cause from what I see on the video he is going parallel.. not below but right at..

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing

 

NAWICE LIFT

whether he was applying pressure to help hold you up or not, who knows. my point was he shouldnt be touching you. And that you should have those rails in as a fail safe.

and if your ass almost hit your ankles at 485 thats the one you should have posted

I dont want you to think im trying to be mean, im sure you posted it to be critiqued. Just trying to help, and regardless going that low with 500 is def. impressive, and is a HUGE improvement over the last video.

his hands on you while you are attempting the lift. From the video it looks like he is trying to help keep you upright, his arms look like there flexing a bit...not sure though.

hes pretty trim
