  • ass to holeintheground10feetunder

  • We have a 16 year old on our High School Powerlifting Team in PEI Canada who's made this weight raw at the 2011 IPF World Junior Powerlifting Championships in Moosejaw, Canada. Your gym has very strong athletes.

  • Awesome squat. Coach, isn't it better to look straight than to look at the ceiling while squatting? Not trying to disrespect but I was taught it is always better to keep your eyes parallel while squatting, especially for training athletes.

  • Thats an atg squat. Did his ass bounce off the floor?

  • that is ass to grass

  • After that lift he squatted T-pain off the boat and took his mermaid...

  • holy crap man you are strong mother .

  • question here, why go so lowww!?!? unless you think 90 is bitch but jw if otherwise

  • I noticed that knee movement at the end. anything bad happen?

  • You guys are INSANE ! can you just please explain the quick descent?

  • Pause @ :18,insane. Great job mate!!!!

  • ебать ты монстр!

  • This is more like ass 2 basement then a2g

  • It looks like when you're in the eccentric portion of the squat you are almost pre-loading your muscles kind of like plyometrics with the stretch-shortening reflex... would you say that is a correct statement?

  • awesome lift.

  • wow. congrats!

  • 2 years ago today

  • @cedarfallslifting guess we need a new one to celebrate

  • @BROZKNOWS i hear that!

  • @BROZKNOWS looking forward to the upcoming 272.5 vid. from the looks of that 240 a few weeks ago, it wont be long.

  • you guys hit the hole way too fast.

  • @titbits17 Thanks!

  • @BROZKNOWS lol np, I envy it.

  • @titbits17 thats what she said 

  • People have told me i should wear a belt while lifting . In your experience , are there any benefits to using a lifting belt ?

  • @FieldBoy111 no, except you look like you know what you are doing.

  • @BROZKNOWS greatest reply ever

  • ATG or GTFO

  • Hey Broz,

    How tall is Rob. He is a beast, keep it up!!!

    

  • Why would you do a squat with that much weight on a boat?

  • hey thats fucking insane..

    guys what do you recommend? cause im relatively a beginner squatter - would you recommend going this low, or just till 90 degrees in my knee??

    cause im kind of scared to snap some shit up going this low

  • @DenisTheMennnace ATG for the win

  • @BROZKNOWS what the fuck is ATG???

  • @DenisTheMennnace Sorry for the acronyms. It means Ass To Grass

  • @BROZKNOWS

    Do you get a ticket to knee surgery from winning? :)

  • @eamh2002 No, unfortunately. Only for football.

  • @BROZKNOWS

    Okay :p how much would he get without elasticity(fast eccentric)? Has he tried?

  • @eamh2002 Look at some of his newer videos...much less elasticity than here.

  • @BROZKNOWS whats your vertical?

  • @BROZKNOWS Where to buy these lifting shoes?

  • @DenisTheMennnace

    its for the win as the coach said .

    just stay on heels , back locked , and use the spring effect that u get by going this low . bare foot is better than soft heels shoes , and weightlifting shoes is ideal

  • after watching this video a video a few times i dont think he hit below parallel

  • What shoes are you wearing?

  • Wait, he's on a boat?

  • mannnnn that is ASS TO GRASS!

  • like this if you noticed the shirt

  • Love to see it. No steriods, great form, and just a bunch of guys working hard to get stronger.

  • do you guys do box squats and Iow bar somtimes? High bar is my fav but im just wondering..

  • Do you guys do any mobility drills or anything to help get down that low? It's mind-boggling depth from everyone in your gym, but I've been seriously working on my flexibility for months and I can't get much below parallel.

  • holy shit look at the depth !!

  • 0:17 :o ATG!

  • @LUCKYBARNEY100

    Hell yeah. I just stopped the video there to see how deep he's going down. A few inches from the ground. Very impressive!

  • btg. baaaaaaaaaaaaalls to ground

  • Oh MAN! I like this guy's form!

    :o

  • wow! he fuking BURIED that 

  • Now that is ****ing amazing!

  • broz how can i squat so deep as this guy?will my weightlifting shoes i ordered help me?i just wanna touch my butt to the ground but i cant.of course im lower than parrallell but whatever.do u think it is a weight issue??

  • @kwstas67 you can put on 300kg and for sure your butt will hit the ground. lol JK!

  • @kwstas67 What i did was bottom out the smith machine for a while till i was able to get that low and keep balance, then from there just do the bar and move on up! As for the vid, respect!

  • wow impressive

  • I've also recently been feeling some strain in my lower back when I go ATG. I started a linear progression 3 weeks ago and yesterday I did my first "3 sets of 5" at 100kg (high bar ATG). Even though I can maintain my low back position fairly below parallel, ATG always causes a little pelvis rollunder. I genuinely think it can all be attributed to my diet, how often I sit down on hard chairs every day, and the fact that my abdomen is so damn weak.

  • is it better to do squats with youre toes pointing out or straight?

  • Amazing videos. Quick question about foot position. Do you have a preference with your lifters as regards to having their toes pointing straight ahead, or turned out slightly to the side? And why so? Thanks.

  • i remember the first time i worked out

  • Question: Why, when I do these, are they so strenuous on my low back? I used to do low-bar squats, but switched to these. Am I not placing the bar right on my back?

  • @Sully1111 either that or positions are incorrect.

  • @BROZKNOWS

    Can you elaborate on "positions" being incorrect? I tried taking a video, and I am definitely leaning forward a lot and am not nearly as vertical as Rob is in this video. I put the bar right on top of my traps at the base of my neck (but not on the vertebrae).

    You're the best Broz. Truly inspirational. I wish I could train with you, but live all the way on the east coast. Maybe you could make instructional videos!

  • @Sully1111 the vids are in the process. The new site will help you a lot.

  • @Sully1111 take a vidoecamera n practice form.to do this suqat u must be extremely flexible.did u see this he touches the floor with hes a**.so maybe u need flexibility work too.these guys squat every day

  • @Sully1111 Look straight up at the ceiling like this guy did. If you looking up your body naturally want to go straight back up after you squat down. This eliminates any forward leaning and will probably stop the strain on your lower back.

  • @LegendAzN1 I think I fixed the problem actually. I had the bar too high on my traps (it was pretty much sitting on my neck, but not really because I flexed my traps up to have it sit on that). I believe that this made the bar too far forward and created a much bigger lever arm with my low back than should be.

  • How did you all get so strong? I need some advice.

  • The Lonely Island shirt adds at least 50kg.

  • man im 15 and max is only 275

  • Hey man..very impressive notice that you put on a lot size from this video to the video where you squat 800 lbs...do you take any supplements in your diet?

  • @cdorame21 well considering its two different lifters....

  • @BROZKNOWS haha wow..was so amazed and intrigued on the weight being lifted..I didn't notice to read the description..lol Are you one of the two lifters or just the uploader?

  • @cdorame21 I guess I'm just an uploader

  • looks like he could do another rep or two..

    or is it just me? o.o

  • average broz gym grows em strong 

  • coach broz,

    for a sprinter/wrestler in the offseason, what would you recommend more, squats or cleans? right now I'm doing 5x5 squats but i feel like there are more effective routines for strength and power. there's so much misconstrued info out there I really just don't know the volume and intensity i should be doing.

  • that was truly impressive

  • if only girls could appreciate this as much as true men do youd be a fuckin superstar. fuck abs, squats and deadlift. i dont wanna know what you can deadlift.

  • This is a real squat! Full range, raw, skilled, honest and heavy as it gets with that low body weight.

    All You see these days are fat guys in rubber suits bouncing ridiculous weights for 4 inches claiming a new record.

  • he's on a boat

  • My knees blew out just watching this video...THIS is badass.

  • I started doing olympic style squats about a month ago but had to quit because of lower back pain (which I later discovered was due to butt-wink). I've had to revert back to parallel squats until I find a way to get that damn wink out of my o-squat technique. Since I train myself that might take a while (if ever). Wish I had a coach like you! :(

  • pff.. it is light weight.. 

  • What type of shoes are those?

  • @Sully1111 adidas

  • He's on a motherfucking boat, doing squats and shit

  • Great depth

  • Im on a boat!

  • good shittttttttttttttttt

  • Now, thats a squat.

  • dude you drop down way to fast. but thats a shit ton of weight so its understandable

  • OH MY GOD. LOOK AT ME. I CAN DO ONE REP AT HIGH WEIGHT!!!!11!!1!

  • @MaelstromScientist I would really like to, but you have 0 uploads and just a pic of a tiny guy standing next to a chicks car.

  • @BROZKNOWS i can do 170 for 1 rep and im 17 so im rly impressed that u can take 240 kgs

  • @MaelstromScientist dude, you do realize that this is a 2.5+ bw high bar oly squat. None of that low bar parallel bullshit you see toted as the god's honest truth nowadays. Make no mistake, this here is a lift that your average gymgoer will never achieve.

  • @MaelstromScientist you try getting under that bar....oh wait, lets pu 135lbs on there and rep out for 20 reps. so gay.

  • @MaelstromScientist u jelly?

  • nice shirt

    

  • How can an athlete keep a near vertical torso while squatting? I feel I have body leaning forward issues while I'm squatting and I wish to correct this.

  • @MrBertramLevaughn

    Practice a lot. I still haven't got it, but I can do the majority of my sets with a near vertical torso, simply because I work on it a lot. Once you can get a straight back with a warm-up set, it's just a matter of being strong enough to apply the same technique to your work sets.

    Pushing my elbows forward and trying to wrap my neck around the bar helps a lot.

  • DUDE!

  • fucking awsome. cant get any deeper than that!!!!!!!

  • @BROZKNOWS how long have you been lifting?

  • @Nickreedyt Longer than you've been alive.

  • @Nickreedyt Me or Rob?

  • @BROZKNOWS Oh I see how it says 94 kg at 19 years old. My bad.

  • too easy

  • "I'M ON A BOAT"

  • what is the name of that shoes?

  • that is deeeep!

    and fast!

    whoa

  • Lovin the shirt!

  • HOLY BALLS, his ass damn near hit the floor! that's a squat! Mad respect.

  • so do you squat every day like broz suggests? how are your knees holding up?

  • according to your shirt, you were lifting on a boat:)

  • 0:17 if thats not ATG idk what is.

  • ...das sekzy, no homo

  • Why is this gym not in my town? :) I'd kill for a good powerlifting gym near me.

  • @steveyfrac Broz focuses on Oly lifts so it's not really a powerlifting gym

  • im on a boat.

  • good lift bud! you'll hit 600 soon

  • @alithorpe54 no doubt!

  • @alithorpe54 check the other videos. he did 623

  • lol love the shirt :p

  • No spotter?

  • @MrLmfao1989 I'm sure many experienced lifters will agree that spotting would be the last thing you would do. It's a hell of a lot more safer to learn how to bail out of a lift 'correctly'. If you haven't already learnt, then do so!

  • Buried that. (Y)

  • 0:17 holyyy shit

  • he is wearing a terrific shirt 

  • @eschrie93

    Hell yes he is.

  • Bar sure is bending.

  • It's nice to see something represented and alleged to be a squat, that actually lives up to the claim.

  • jesus christ..he pretty much sat down and then stood back up

  • Does your gym attract the strongest guys or do you make them this strong...holy crap. Totally inspiring!

  • Sweet tits all mighty that was deep and fast... FOK.

  • he was on a boat when he did that lift.

  • your asshole was about 2" of the ground, crazy Depth! You must be an Olympic lifter

  • Question, I see this dude squat with his face looking up, and I've seen Pat do it looking down or I guess... neutral head.. .which is better?? Would this sort of strain your neck? BTW AMAZING VIDS keep more coming please

  • @Krisbert1219 the body follows the head.

  • @BROZKNOWS hey , you GET DEEEEEEEEP holy fuck. awesome mobility. however, i feel you should try to come down slower. you have this crazy decent into the squat and it seems like your using that slight bounce at the bottom to get some leverage to help you back up. now dont take it the wrong way. im not onw of those ppl who thinks the full squat will ruin your knees. its how the body is designed. but righteous weitherway holy tits.

  • @ridethepowder156 Yeah, because "coming down slower" really helps an olympic lifter. I'm sure his snatch will go through the roof taking a slow negative.

  • @Krisbert1219 Keeping your head up helps keep your spine in the comfortable position...i think

  • @Krisbert1219 its better looking face up. thats is teached to me. ps. im a powerlifter.

  • REALLY DEEP!!!

  • NOW THAT is atg

  • damn that was almost literally ATG lol respect.

  • Looks like he's got more, must at 250+ by now

  • anybody who can deep squat this kind of weight is bad ass. Everytime I see pyssys in my gym doing barerly parallel squat and repping 405 I have to laugh. None of them can get their ass up on full squat with 225.

  • @juliesteve

    Actually, I'm a beginner lifter, just hit a 265 Olympic style squat and my PR in a power style squat was at 295. I'd say they can get their asses up on a full squat with 225

  • UR RAW

  • Awesome strength and depth. You sunk that squat and exploded right out of it. You, sir,have some explosive power. Good job.

  • Your squats are awsome, i try to squat as deep as possible to, but i have one question about your decendspeed: Is it really good in the long run for your knees to squat down so fast?

  • few more inches and he could have a seat. thats insane

  • Deep and heavy, nothing like this on you tube!!!!! Just prime lifting, excellent work!

  • love it

  • dat rom

  • That squat... its perfect.

  • damn son. nice work

  • holy shit. that was amazing depth!

  • no knee pad, thats RAW.

  • Damn at 19 years. I really hope you guys are gonna compete in some kind of olympic power lifting comp. Other wise that would be a waste of talent. Keep up the good work guys. I wish i was at your gym cause you guys would motivate my ass to lift up the world.

  • damn that depth is for lack of a better word perfect

  • @koenbp nobody could give a fuck about your muscular leg. power and strength is what matters.

  • @koenbp I'm really sorry! All show and no go. But seriously, I can't believe you would admit that you are that weak. Personally I would kill myself if I couldn't squat body weight.

  • @BROZKNOWS hey you gotta start somewhere.

  • @slimjamie1991 i agree, but to be satisfied because you are "more muscular" but as weak as a 70yr old woman, then who really cares. Personally I would rather have 13" thighs,weigh 50kg and squat 400kg.

  • @BROZKNOWS thanks for clarifying. I thought you were just ripping on guys who aren't brutally strong, so I kind of took offense since I'm new to the iron game. I also agree that strength is more important than size (or at least more desirable).

  • There's 220 kg
