As a sidenote, I'm pretty interested in picking up one of those lever belts to replace mine, but I'm really not sure I yet understand how it works and if it's worth risking buying without knowing... Your thoughts?
Just want to point out a couple of things. First, 365 at your size is wicked strong dude. Second, stay back on your heals. You roll forward and your knees travel over your toes. Third, do working sets with out a belt and wraps to build your core strength and tendons. Do that enough and you won't need knee wraps to squat anything but max effort. Good job.
Nice to see someone who uses a spotter and squat rack, I mean ive seen people fall backwards with the weight and a guy collapsing with no safety bars or spotter after that i use the bars lol
Thanks for the constructive comments. I agree that I need to tighten my belt a bit more. This belt felt really stiff, which is why I have hard time making it tighter because it cuts into my ribs. My previous powerlifting belt was a lot softer and has more notches.
im by no means telling you your own business, but i think you should tighten the belt. and it dont matter how much weight you squat, the point is you squat. i think like 1% of the world squats. if that. i do my reps with 525 and would never make fun of anyone doing a smaller weight. heck i worked out with a senior citizen the other day and i did what he did and never went over 175. i just did a lot of reps. kudos man. tighten the belt on a max effort.
I got a job working for.... somebody.... and so I got interested in powerlifting and how it looks from talking to the boss-man. Yours is the first video I watched...nice job.
@apklaxer39 - Why do you bother to watch it? It's not meant to be show off but for my own record. In any case, thanks anyway because at least you bothered to comment.
@JHinOC ahh i see that's different to WPC/CAPO then, CAPO is a powerlifting organisation here in Australia. There's no rule which says there's a 1 second hold, you just have to hit depth. Anyway, good squatting champ!
@Niickk58 - guess you didn't get my comments from before. I am 43 when I lifted the squat. It's not showing off or anything but for my own record. Wait until you are in your forties - another 28 years later..
@JHinOC 43 is nothing. You should be in your prime. It takes 15 to 20 years to reach the peak. All the world's best powerlifters. strongman competitors, even bodybuilders are in their 40's.
you would get alot more from your wraps if you wrapped them better, there are some good videos on youtube which show how to wrap them. but basically you wrap alot round the areas above and below your knees, you wont get anything from this as the wrap wont stretch there.
The big Son of a bitch behind him is what got my attention

That's great! The older you get, the harder it is to lift heavy weights. That's why older people get arthiritis. It's just for my own memory.
Keep up the good job!

Due to the custom color, it took about two weeks. It will probably be shorter since I ordered it in December during the holiday shopping season.
