Squat - 455 x 3

[BlackSpit]

@Crazyhilo there's not much to explain. He's 6 inches shy of a legal squat.

[OneDownServer]

"Breathe Blake"

what a dumbass...breathing while you're standing and watching people lift is not the same as breathing while you're squatting...

[investmjr]

Uhhhg yet another squat video with bad form. I don't think I can stand it any longer, in the gym or on video lol. Does ANYONE understand how to perform this lift correctly??

[crazyhiho]

@investmjr please enlighten us.

[Colimus]

Nothing like westlife in the background to get u goin.

[Scafferx2]

Look,im all for ass to grass but maybe for this amount of weight he felt more comfortable,safe to only go to parallel.

[anuragsharma08]

nice squats man....i wish you went a little deeper. not bad though:)

[dude87111]

dont hate guys, he cant go all the way down even if he tried with this fucked up rack. i like deeper squats also but its not our video now is it

[frothyshoes]

Nice work, the last rep was deep as hell

[ttorzzz]

nice squats bro

[iratelyblank]

The people who say it isnt low enough are dumb imo. Parallel knee/hip isn't the holy grail of squats like some of you twinks seem to think it is. Go to a powerlifting gym sometime

[chevalier5722]

@iratelyblank I've been in Contests and watched a guy just like this fail all three attempts for not going deep enough same weight and he was like 5'4... failed all 3 :) because....HE WASN'T GOING DEEP ENOUGH

[Brunioleal]

need to work on that angle a litle bit more , but you have nice videos

congratiolations.....

watch strong man bruno

[CubanLUVash]

ur back moves too much

[andcbwk]

@CubanLUVash He makes depth with his back instead of his legs.

I did the same thing for a long time.

[iProVoK3D]

what type of shoes are you using

[Jebber8584]

didn't go low enough, and you never ever EVER want to breath out during a lift of heavy weight. That is stupid advice

[kaylasawyers11]

listen your going plenty far down dont worry bout this dipshits

[Gdub11100]

this is reallly impressive, not gonna insult u about form its pretty damn close to parallel, you're pushing you're butt back and not letting your knees go over your feet. BRAVO!

[GrapeSuperChill]

This guy is a tank. He is squatting close stance because he is targeting his quads, because, hmmm, I don't know.,.........he might be a bodybuilder?

Try taking a close stance squat with your toes pointed forward with an appreciable amount of weight down to ass to grass, and I bet you won't be able to without some severe back rounding.

Rounding your back with 455 fucking pounds seems like a bad idea to me.

[YuppItzCorey]

Drop the weight if you can't handle going parallel with it. You're strong thought but I'd suggest going down a bit lower so that you're not doing quarter squats. Ends up just messing up your knees if you can't go parallel with the weight.

[MiicanStudios]

That's a cool looking gym

[madmattdisease92]

nice, wat r u training for

[brad3417]

The 1st rep was pretty much letter perfect. Depth was only an issue on the last rep, the first 2 were good. You might wanna try placing the bar aliitlt lower on your back/shoulders, ant try widening your stance a little. That would help you keep your back straighter. Very impressive though!! 455x3 is awe inspiring!

[grambo22]

Dude is strong for sure but nowhere near parallel, problem is knees are going forward at the same rate hips are dropping, knees need to be shoved out and hips sit between thighs to hit depth (regardless of low bar versus high bar style).

[bigplayray09]

i think the drop was deep. he was dorn near about to coonect with the safety bar especailly on the 3rd rep

[CoC3]

HIGHER than the tower of london. Go deeper.

[mmaman88]

shut up

[Shadapaga]

spread your legs big fella. im not a biomechanist but i lift alot.

[TheB1gSleep]

He's doing what I do a lot and rounding his back at the bottom. I've found that by taking a wider stance and flaring the knees slightly outward remedies that so he should definitely be taking a wider base for this heavy a load.

[Shadapaga]

I used to do that alot but i learned from another squatting video on youtube than rounding the back is more harmful than an arch and it happens alot on squats with a narrow stance and leg presses. The guy also taught me to try to seperate the floor between my legs and push out with my feet when i squat for more gluteal recruitment and it adds some pounds to your squat and is healthier.

[hail2daskins1]

not deep enough

[buster999121]

@hail2daskins1 but u gotta give the guy credit he did it raw.....but is that good for the back??

[JamieandhisIbanez]

@hail2daskins1 i agree but if he has got to this stage doing that then i wouldnt hate on him.

[serge1011]

Not deep enough.

Go for at least a parralel.

[leathernguns]

an excellent squat here man. Amazing, if anyone ever wanted to know how to do a squat, I would show them this video.

[chuinard5153]

if you go too low beyond 90 its horrible for your knees. mimbec

[jediknight69]

one of the major lies ever thrown around period. The human body is designed to ass to grass squat. Deeper the better, your knees will THANK you. If you don't beleive me, learn the biomechanics of the squat and the physiology of the knee joint. Don't beleive that, do 2 months of hard training doing plenty of squats to 90, then do 2 months of ass to grass squatting. Find out for yourself.

[AyeTribeCalledFresh]

THANK FUCKING YOU. THE SMARTEST COMMENT ON YOUTUBE EVER. I salute you jediknight.

[Guitardudemire87]

Correctdo Mundo! Excellent. Not exactly a biomechanists, however, I am a kinesiology major.

[sjjdiienno1]

@jediknight69 agreed...people's heads spin when i say it but my knees actually ache if i done squat for a while..like if i take time off..squats make my knees feel great people just dont understand

[kaziizak]

@jediknight69 yaaa when i try A2G squats my lower back rounds off and my knees actually dont feel better so wat then? Parallel squats are plenty enough

[dustinkerikke]

@jediknight69 most people can do it, but not all, my old boxing trainers knees couldn't keep up with a 90 degreee 60 kg squat. so he didnøt squat for that very reason

[mvsf1]

Yeah! Good form, good weight, GREAT RAW POWER!

BB4ever!!!

[paulio2293]

not taking away from this lift, but some of those reps looked pretty questionable, inpaticular the 2nd one, was a good few inches away from paralell. Ps. stop getting so damm big.

[bodebldr2000]

great job my friend. Lookin strong as ever.

[mimbec]

not trying to take anything way from you. You are fairly strong. But why not go below parallel?

[iProVoK3D]

@mimbec haha you do it

[cashmoney5218]

i was yelling at the computer like " come on! one more move it!"

[StrengthAddicts]

5 Stars!

[dannyb1209]

ahhh no squat pad that killlss meee !!!!!!!!!!!!

[mwgcubs]

damn. very impressive

[DonnieDarko727]

100% RAW is the way to go fellows, KUDOS

[jhuckell]

where is your gym

[thuirwyne]

You must be the same type of muscle mutant as my brother-in-law; the guy is 47 and just recently stopped doing 500 in the bucket because he hurt his knee; here's to a long strong life!

[muslcop]

BEAST!!!

[Musclevideofreak]

[pumping18]
