350 kg in 75 class - Jaroslaw Olech's World record Squat

[Mechanism2k]

This man deserves respect. Impressive weight and impressive depth.

[AnEnragedCat]

@tyrepikke anything lower than that would be a back squat.

[SmexyPC]

was this in a single ply?

[tyrepikke]

he could have done this lift as his first lift so easy it was. but it was not a deep squat. i think it was okay deep but i always go way deeper then this. he is a monster really strong guy.

[ncpowerlifter]

AWESOME FREAKING SQUAT...PERIOD!

[spartan1893]

[RabbitXizverg]

krasava

[IrishMarc1]

[Zodiamaster]

jesus christ I can see the suffering in his face

[madmax20l]

Wielki szacun JAREK !!!

[klama1]

actually he beat it today again in75 class, 362,5 kg !!!

[ttomi5]

perfect

[Benching341]

Do a quick search for squat precision

where detecting perfect, legal squat depth for ANY federation has become an exact science.

[sak868]

that was waaaaaaaaaaay too easy for him

[Lolercopterz]

that was so easy... i bet he can do 800lbs

[hudavy]

a kurva

[Nirvana32058]

Wow he actually went all the way and performed at perfect form squat. Not like those other world record squats where the dudes perform half ass squats and only come down like 2 inches and call that a record.

[dend027]

That's because this squat is at an IPF affiliate's competition where the judging is extremely strict. The "half ass" squats you're referring to are probably WPO squats where the judging is lax and they use double ply, canvas squat suits so everyone and their mother can squat 1000+ lbs

[amarone1956]

Actually, my mother missed 100lbs on her first attempt, but made it on her second.

[dbennett4]

@dend027 Actually this is the 2007 IPF Open Worlds

[dend027]

Actually, I think that's IPF worlds, even stricter judging.

[shug6009]

4.666666x body weight!

Faak.

Do they have a weigh in the day before, like in boxing? Just wondering if 75kg is his weight after running on a treadmill in a sauna.

[harrydavidson64]

2 hour weigh in for IPF

[shug6009]

Shit, that's not very long to recover from a weight cut.

[shug6009]

That's not long enough to recover from any serious weight cutting. That's impressive.

[Ornolfr]

Jesus. Obviously he's cut all of the weight off of himself aside from back, abs and legs, but that is fucking impressive.

[amarone1956]

That was a deep squat. Much better than the bullshit squats that are passed in other organizations.

[tomgt007]

I agree , some of them yank squats are not worth a wank

[jebanykolo]

Yes!! he is the best!!:) always I used to say.. nobady is able bit him:)!!! Keep going:) All the best:)

[holyroller35]

to bad he couldnt do it raw,the gear helps

[jpl315]

what is the reason nobody in ipf squats very wide such as those in wpo?

[harrydavidson64]

The multiply gear they use in the WPO is more suited to wide squatting.

[febmaba]

I think, that isn't all. I see it so, that in the WPO you take out the weight already in the starting position, but in the IPF champs there is used an other type of rack, so you should first take out the weight, then step backwards and then sidelong to take the starting position. the latter way is a much heavier and much more dangeruos.

greetings from Europe!

[febmaba]

(it was a reply to harrydavidson64's comment)

[HalifaxHercules]

I think the reason IPF squats are narrow is mostly due to safety reasons, and the fact you can't pre-position yourself like the WPO.

If your Squat stance is too wide, you could suffer a knee injury. I witness one lifter sustaining a serious knee injury during a Powerlifting contest in PEI, Canada when his/her Squat stance was too wide, and his/her knee twisted during the downard phase.

[dbennett4]

3rd attempt, he has done 355kg

[gregdoucette]

was that his 1st attempt holly smokes

[ShareLess]

looked very easy for him

[edoardo82]

testa gigante

[HalifaxHercules]

Had a lot more in him.

Even an 800 lb. Squat is not out of the question.
