500 kg squat Rantanen Euro GPC 08, CZE

[tresconik]

Wow, such smart people here.

Let's see how deep you can go with such a wide stance.

[aricunisi]

:-))))))))))))))))

[PowersportlerOA]

War das ein Showauftritt innerhalb des Wettkampfes? Ansonsten denke ich es war zu tief :-)

[lovgarage]

Говно!

[Highperformance91]

shit

[WhalehunterMarcus]

Great weight, decent lift, but in IPF he would get 3 reds

[LukeLambo]

this is fucking amazing!

[estanuk]

wtf was that shit? I go deeper in your moms pussy

[Stoksie01]

and lack of balls

[Stoksie01]

u fking try going to my gym where half of the lifters are juiced up the fking boss sells them the shit lol only pussies need a temporary fix for there lack of dedication

[Flankermatty94]

there was a 90 degree angle at the knee joint so yes, this was a proper squat. so sdfu and respect this dude.

[Pentagonshark666]

impressive or not,but yes it's not a squat.

[dan7edan7e]

sick of seeing the same argument over and over... Form is shit, powerlifting suits are shit, steroids etc VS you pussies couldnt even unrack half of this weight so STFU.... the simple truth is: yes, the world is unfair. Yes, pros use PL gear and roids. Yes, they change their form so the amplitude is tiny and they can lift more weight. But they work MOTHERFUCKIN HARD to get to where they are. And it

[Dayga]

No disrespect intended, and it was a superhuman effort... but that lift was clearly short.

[KOAguild]

if i hump the air prior to squatting can i do more weight ? :D

[mbowi1]

just do a proper squat with less weight... he moved the weight like 3 inches down, then back up.

[v0rxxx]

I'm sorry, but this is just stupid. He has a suit on that acts like a damn fork lift, some big ass thick belt, knee wraps, briefs. I mean, what happened to just lifting weights?

For example, Pat Mendes' 800 lb COMPLETELY raw squat, about 4 inches past parallel is more impressive than this shit.

[alphanitrox]

he never make depth there

[Ksmoothie24]

its a squat but tht niggah is hella short

[adamvandyke2]

Brb doing ATG, shoulder width squats with 1100lbs. You nerds need to shut up.

[likeaviper1]

technically for a squat your knees need to be parallel to your hips, this is what he did so fair play to him

[crapinho]

@likeaviper1

I don't think you quite understand the concept of parallel. It would behoove you to inform yourself before commenting on the subject.

[Helios601]

looked more like a half squat

[HelloIamBarnsy]

I squat near 220 kilos and I don't even think I could get it off the rack, let alone go near parallel. It's not a full squat, it is technically a squat though. It's understandable that he is receiving so many distasteful comments but lets be brutally honest; that is one EPIC feet that guy just did, and although it may not be to everyone's liking it's a squat. Powerlifters lift for power, that's why they go through the full range of motion. Weightlifters just want weight. More on the bar = Better

[DarkSheep91]

It's amazing that he can do that but still, i think powerlifting gets much more interesting if u preform the lifts with a full motion.

[naznab111]

watta shit squat. u get more of a work out sitting on the toilet

[SammyJ21]

No disrespect I know this is alot of weight no matter what you do, but now get ya legs closer together, go deep, take off ya belt and knee supports and see how much it drops by... This was not a squat!

[joshserrio]

hes legs going be sore in mornin

[Brunioleal]

congratiolations it needs alot of power to squat 500kg.

[joshrushton1992]

how the fuck aint it a squat are you a judge? no its the gpc and most the time i can argue with the dept but that was to the right dept. u fuckin cock shut up, i am a world champion

[Jenuya]

I guarantee this guy can lift more than anyone here, including me. You're all just butthurt and thats why you have to criticize.

Only thing I don't get is why his stance is so wide.

[mythosthecat]

@Jenuya the wide stance is place most of the emphasis on the hamstrings, glutes, and adductors which equate to a strong squat as they help with hip extension through the drive phase. a narrow stance engages the quadriceps more.

[Jenuya]

@mythosthecat Oh right, I did not know that at all. My stances is shoulder width, I feel it in my quads but the next few days it's the hams and glutes that are sore. Weird no?

[mythosthecat]

@Jenuya the shoulder width stance will definitely place more work onto the quads but you still have some assistance from hams/glute complex.

[mrti3]

tHIS GUY THINKS LIKE HAVING A SE* LOL

[BGfordayz]

@mrti3 sex?

[mrti3]

@BGfordayz Yea :)

[NLhardcorebobNL]

Epic teabag is epic.

[luthmhor]

Wtf was that.

Since when does having your hamstrings parallel to the floor constitute a parallel squat? Its when your knee is level with the crease between your stomach and your upper leg (ie: like the groin crease (sort of)), this doesnt come anywhere close.

I wish i could squat that high and call it parallel. Whatever the judges let it through so it must be legit.......

[Denitsepi]

!!!!!!! SQ 500KG !!!!!!!

[mr2weeks]

Big weight but only a half-squat.  It would be more impressive to see him take 300kg for a full squat.

[900TOT]

yous are a bunch of negative,disrespectful,misinfo­rmed wankers,just disregard the hard work it takes to lift weights like this..makes you feel better aout your mediocre selfs dont it..

[r3trdroadkill]

@900TOT yes it is

[Dayga]

@900TOT Hard work notwithstanding, it still doesn't make it a good lift.

[silbaar]

@900TOT u got completely right

[Denkann]

@900TOT If he looses the suit the belt and the knee wraps and then do a real squat with his hip below his knees. THEN we will alla be amazed.

[skirts365]

@900TOT We could find some critics who could duplicate this PARTIAL lift (accompanied by cheating). But they don't want to waste time seeing how strong they can be in the strong range of the lift. What they want is to see how strong they can get in the WEAK range (low, low, low) because THAT'S the power that matters. You people obsess over numbers and have turned form into sheer garbage. Yes, Olympic lifters will always easily defeat powerlifters in depth squats---the only legit kind.

[deliriocculto]

I feel the pain for him....

[throatpiece]

that was a lot of air fucking!

[Kranen5]

thats not a fucking squat !!!

TO WIDE STANCE !!!

Fucking idiot squat, you dont have to lift as deep as a normal squat which makes this squat easier !!! PUSSY OF A MAN!!!!

[mathiaspoulson]

yeah i bet you could do this 10 times better than him

[Kranen5]

No idiot.... if you dont get my point dont even bother commenting mine -.-

why change the fucking squat? Squat is a squat do it like its supposed to be done.

Its impressive weight but he can never do it in a regular squat... with knowing that its not impressive at all !

[sb413197]

Why does he rock back and forth like that during the setup, is it setting the suit or something?

[muzimuzi]

its like to feel the bar when squating =p

[deeathlete]

take the suite, belt and knee wraps off. Close your stance a bit and do a real squat...full range of motion.

[muzimuzi]

Yes they cheat - and this one is using squat suit takes away the weight etc but they're still extremly strong still they can squat like 3-4 times more weight than an averge person who works out hard.

[tlast2012dude]

this way of squatting is intended to lift more weight than in the "normal" way. In powerlifting the objective is lift as much weight as you bones let you. Is not about how you do it, is about DO IT. HEAVY and simple. JUST DO IT.

[Kranen5]

sounds more like strongman to me

[tlast2012dude]

strongman is about how much weight can you lift for reps.

[tidi88]

@tlast2012dude

strong man is more about all around strenght, with objects that people know and compere. You have max lifts in strong man but also on reps. It is a combination of strenght, speed, endurance and technique

[michalsfd]

this is not squat

[G0dF0ther]

@michalsfd yes it is, you dumb fuck

[JaKeth3snake]

@michalsfd In powerlifting this is considered a squat you wanker. Lets see you even put 200 kg on your back. I bet you would squeal like pig!

[JakeNukem3D]

@michalsfd how come?

[forthehellofit00]

meaning if he fell down and the weight fell of his FUCKING back...the spotters would not be able to catch the weight

[Kadagis7000]

this is not squat ,this is sumo squat !!!

[raksamatti]

mä luulen että menis vielä yli tuon viidensadan, suht kevyeltä näytti ylöstulo

[SpiderTourtiny]

looks like kurt angel

[Wertmemzaari]

Yea I agree

[hidko8765]

not deep enough,raw 275 thought at most,respect anyway

[JackREst]

Listen my friend. those guys, and I know first hand, can squat whatever the hell you squat times 4 or 5.

Give a alittle respect and dont go and say stupid stuff like that...

[m1kasd]

yea I agree, he probably dosen't even have enough flexibility to do a full squat anyways.

[BUGATTI1001PS]

Was die  bandscheibe wohl sagt

[michaelj20011]

500 KG? That is sick, I mean in a good way 5*****

[Templercz]

dobře ty :) its awesome 5/5

[forthehellofit00]

haha the spotters on the sides are soo funny if that fucking weight fell they would never be able to stop it lol there hands would get crushed if nething

[89lovely89]

how the fuck can the weight fall??its on his fucken back!!

[BobDanish]

OMG

That is a LOT of weight... and his stance is so wide, that would be so hard.

Nicely done!
