Thats Low bar posittion, many ppl have their low bar's too low what hits to their deph/performance. Trie switching to false grip hand position like Kroc does and u'll see.
F'ing AMAZING. Heavy ass weight and great form/depth.
My only question is why waste time re-racking, taking collars off, etc.. They should have left the collars off and as soon as he hit 8 with 500, they come in remove the plates with the bar still on his back, then he goes right into the 405 set, etc.. Racking it, waiting for the collars to go on, and then de-racking again seems like a waste of time/energy. Still though, one of the most impressive squat feats I have ever seen.
@rdeffleymoviesnew Safety. Pulling the weight off sounds simple but you could destabilise the bar if one comes off before the other etc. and seriously tweak your stabilisers / muscles / lose the weight off your back and hurt someone
Play it safe (not that this is particularly safe obviously :-D)
And for everyone who works on just beach muscles, take note. The squat rack is for squatting. The bench is for sitting on after you have squatted to be sick from the squatting!
This activity is nothing to do with cardio! This is all out anerobic activity. The fittest man in the world with get the same oxygen debt if he engaged in maximum strength expenditure like this. Not that he'd be lifting this weight!!
im sure he cant run as far as most people but it takes a different type of cardio to do what he does. have you ever done 40 reps of heavy squats with perfect form i dont think so
@Jouwl What's the point then? You're jealous of someone that you won't ever be nearly as strong as? He squatted 1,003 at the UPA Nationals and his total ended up being 2,551 at 220. He can quarter squat for all I care.
The point was finding out if there was a special squat depth for the weightlifting scene, since there is no question that this guy and most other people like him I see squats until their thighs are parallell to the ground. I'm not saying this is wrong for any reason, I'm asking if it's a standard in the weightlifting world. A 'normal' squat is a sitting position mind you, chinese, japanese and indigenous people can use it whereas westerns are too inflexible due to their lifestyle.
@Jouwl ...His thighs are more than parallel though, the crease at the hip being in line with the kneecap is considered parallel. He's going about as deep as he can go, his thighs are touching his chest at the bottom of his squat. You can't tell if he's lacking flexibility, you can't see his back to see if it's rounding or not
@Jouwl What can you say.....youtube idiots rule the interweb apparently!
A legal powerlifting squat is one that breaks parallel. Depending on the federation, the definition of which bit must be parallel to what differs, but most require the thigh to be parallel to the ground for it to be a legal squat. You are indeed right that Olympic style squatting requires deeper squats (and the bar is carried higher on the back/traps). Anything less than parallel is just a bit gay ;-D
More than welcome! I'd rather spread information about my sport (not that I'm any good at it!) than call you an arse for no apparent reason :-)
One extra - the other difference is often the stance. Kroc here is using a fairly narrow stance which brings the quads into play. You'll see squatters with very wide stances in powerlifting...this shortens the distance to travel and involves the posterior chain and adductors much more (try it getting up from a chair)
You are Jesus Christ in the flesh, big fan. Absolutely phenomenal. I can't even comprehend that there are people so idiotic as to criticize you/talk shit on your videos. Do they not know who you are...? Absolute fucking goons.
You are a role-model and an inspiration to thousands, keep up the ridiculously hard work and dedication. I know you will though, that goes without saying. Cos you're fucking matt kroc.
it technically is a giant set cause 20sec is just enough time to build back up enough ATP to get through the next set, called a pause set or a rest pause set heard it said both ways, trust me the 20sec is not a very long time to be resting especially with that kind of weight
i applaud the attempt of faggots on youtube trying to hate on this guy his strength is far beyond yours, you're all just jealous and even more stupid when these guys have a website/training tips etc.. to help you get strong as well and you still hate!! haters deserve to be weak and death to them all
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is garbage. People who like this shit are poser posies too. American noobs with huge arms, tribal tatoos and beer gut which shows half-assing it don't make you cut.
this is typical poser posie pumping. that was not 40 reps. he didn't even perform the 8 reps correctly. those were half reps, letting the weight fall is not only useless movement but also unsafe. he would have gotten twice the benefit from just 3 sets perfomed slowly and his legs would burn so hot he wouldn't be able to stand afterwards, less the puking.
attention keyboard critic. he is matt krocalezski. you are not. that is all. (google him since i dont think you have a fucking clue what youre talking about)
this is matt kroczaleski, professional powerlifter, sponsored by muscletech, one of the biggest baddest dudes on the planet. and you areeee? if youre gunna say you "pwnd" someone on the internet...come up with a better argument then the absence of apostrophes in their typing...thanks for playin tho
Great work! That is one impressive drop set! Hope you are well above that now since this video is almost three years old. Keep up the good work and keep lifting strong brotha!
Hahahha amazing job man!!! I did bodyweight deadlifts for as many reps as I could get. I got to about 45 and felt like pukin. Great job!!!! This seems a lot worse lol.
just because he lifts heavy does not indicate he has poor cardio vascular fitness. Not all strength athletes and powerlifters are overweight and un-conditioned. Kroc's done 30 rep pull ups at a massive bodyweight. Im sure he's more physically fit than you sailor boy.
@midwestboxer To add to your statement, Matt is indeed in excellent shape for a power lifter. Check out the article in the March 2011 issue of Muscle & Fitness to prove that point for anyone that would say otherwise. Matt is a beast in an elite class. I'm envious of his dedication to what he does. I wish I had that kind of willpower and dedication.
@midwestboxer couldn't agree more - anyone who does high intensity lifting knows, from experience, the huge jump in heart rate after just 1 set of stuff like this

Really? You are a complete idiot. I hold numerous state and one national power lifting record, yet my BF% is 14.07% via DEXA, and I do sprint as well as hard tempo runs. BTW...I am also 38 and weigh 290. Think you still know everything hot shot? Once you have an elementary background on A&P, you can come back and apologize.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
14% BF is high. You wouldn't even pass the physical screening test to get into Navy Dive School let alone pass the school. I guarantee you would have such a massive panic attack the first week of pool training, you would drop-on-request with the rest of ignorant muscle fucks. And BUD/S........ahh, I won't go even there. The instructors would take one look at you and just laugh. Have a great Navy day, son. Perhaps you can delete this post as well.
You really want to go there? Let's talk about specialized training then. I bet a simple workout like a crossfit would skull fuck you. Don't give me the armed forces shit...I respect them, but their training isn't all bad ass like people think it is. People have survived a lot worse in the congo than seal training
@jdf1972 Fun fact of the day, Matt's an ex-marine, and was allowed to exceed the weight by height limit due to being a fantastic distance runner and of exceedingly low bodyfat.
@jdf1972 you are a piece of shit, and an embarrassment to the Navy. If you had ever done anything hard in your life, you wouldn't hate on people like that. Fuck off.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That is a lot of weight.....I will give him that, but there is a break every time he racks the weight......not taking anything away from the guy, though. I squatted 135 lbs. non-stop without racking at all during the whole set for 78 reps! Granted it's not that heavy, but I did it non-stop. I did this at the Willow Grove Naval Air Station weight room last week.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Don't worry, son. There's still hope for you. Your local community college does not require an SAT score for admission. BUD/S, however, is not in your future.
I don't know what video YOUR watching but Matt is a POWERLIFTER it's about strength not physique. and Matt has an INCREDIBLE physique for man his size! tree trunk legs, mountain like back, huge bi's,tri's and forearms, a round full chest, massive shoulders, need I go on?
Dude just shut up, cause you dont know what you are talkign about. All this dude has to do is cut out and he will look just as good as a bodybuilder. Just go look at his other videos.
thats how you squat. ALL THE WAY DOWN!!! nice to see people still do it. and look his legs arent toothpicks. not like people who load up the bar and do half squats and waste their time.
Wow! My best squat is 44 reps with 225lbs (185lb bodyweight at 5' 10") and that was so hard it became an out of body experience! But I want 50 reps so eventually I'll give it another go. Definitely not a regular routine though.
gwionjones2002 Doesn't Matt deadlift in the high 700s? If so, that doesn't sound like a lifter with much of a postural imbalance to me. Plus, look how far he sits back in the squat. No problem with hammies or lower back strength there, me thinks. Anyone who can bang out DB rows for 255x25 probably has all the lumbar and thoracic strength they'll ever need. How about you post a video of your squat technique, not max, just a 10RM and we'll learn from your technique??
Whilst he is using the belt, he disengages his pelvic floor.Now his hip flexors will be relatively VERY strong to his pelvic floor.They will 'rob' the neuromuscular signals sent to his pelvic floor to contract as his hip flexors are crying out for more muscle fibres to contract.Now this is why weightlifters who use belts may prolapse-increasing the intra-abdominal pressure with a weak pelvic floor means that the pressure will is not able to be kept inside.
I don't think increasing intra-abdominal pressure disengages his pelvic floor. He's probably not going very tight anyway. If I can't regulate my inside pressure, I just blow it out my gym shorts, and hope nobody is behind me.
You have lower back pain and you have lordosis. Which means you have RELATIVELY weak hamstrings and abdominals. You need to stabilize and get rid of your postural imbalances through stretching the correct muscles and strengthening your weak ones.
You are not able able to stabalize with that weight on so you use a belt. Would it not be better if your body was able to cope with that weight first?
So yeah I did this the other day. Difference is being a mere mortal I started at 255 and worked down to 135. But holy hell it hurt so bad. A couple of guys I know walked in the gym when I was on my last 8 reps. They all came over and looked at me funny when I hit the floor moaning after squatting 135, haha.
Got to train with this guy. One of the nicest, most devoted guys in Powerlifting.

That is a lot of weight.....I will give him that, but there is a break every time he racks the weight......not taking anything away from the guy, though. I squatted 135 lbs. non-stop without racking at all during the whole set for 78 reps! Granted it's not that heavy, but I did it non-stop. I did this at the Willow Grove Naval Air Station weight room last week.

Don't worry, son. There's still hope for you. Your local community college does not require an SAT score for admission. BUD/S, however, is not in your future.

I don't know what video YOUR watching but Matt is a POWERLIFTER it's about strength not physique. and Matt has an INCREDIBLE physique for man his size! tree trunk legs, mountain like back, huge bi's,tri's and forearms, a round full chest, massive shoulders, need I go on?

Wow! My best squat is 44 reps with 225lbs (185lb bodyweight at 5' 10") and that was so hard it became an out of body experience! But I want 50 reps so eventually I'll give it another go. Definitely not a regular routine though.

Sorry should read 225x25 for DB rows.
powman121 3 years ago
gwionjones2002 Doesn't Matt deadlift in the high 700s? If so, that doesn't sound like a lifter with much of a postural imbalance to me. Plus, look how far he sits back in the squat. No problem with hammies or lower back strength there, me thinks. Anyone who can bang out DB rows for 255x25 probably has all the lumbar and thoracic strength they'll ever need. How about you post a video of your squat technique, not max, just a 10RM and we'll learn from your technique??
powman121 3 years ago
Whilst he is using the belt, he disengages his pelvic floor.Now his hip flexors will be relatively VERY strong to his pelvic floor.They will 'rob' the neuromuscular signals sent to his pelvic floor to contract as his hip flexors are crying out for more muscle fibres to contract.Now this is why weightlifters who use belts may prolapse-increasing the intra-abdominal pressure with a weak pelvic floor means that the pressure will is not able to be kept inside.
gwionjones2002 3 years ago
I don't think increasing intra-abdominal pressure disengages his pelvic floor. He's probably not going very tight anyway. If I can't regulate my inside pressure, I just blow it out my gym shorts, and hope nobody is behind me.

You have lower back pain and you have lordosis. Which means you have RELATIVELY weak hamstrings and abdominals. You need to stabilize and get rid of your postural imbalances through stretching the correct muscles and strengthening your weak ones.
You are not able able to stabalize with that weight on so you use a belt. Would it not be better if your body was able to cope with that weight first?

what an awesome job, every squat had perfect form and u went well below parallel. and way to tough it out at the end.
it pisses me off hiw many people post vids of them squating all this weight but only go down like 4 inches and they actually think they are squating.

So yeah I did this the other day. Difference is being a mere mortal I started at 255 and worked down to 135. But holy hell it hurt so bad. A couple of guys I know walked in the gym when I was on my last 8 reps. They all came over and looked at me funny when I hit the floor moaning after squatting 135, haha.
