[alideutscher]

chuck number one

[reptalix1]

That was simply insane! His speed out of the hole is absolutely epic! Great luck at your next contest Chuck!

[TheTrueFortress]

Uh, what "hole"? Dude never gets into what can be considered a hole. His depth is highly questionable. However, his training is on point, and he has immense strength, no question. My comment ISN'T a slam. Far from it. Just an observation. This Chuck cat has it going on.

@TheTrueFortress

I've read in an interview with Chuck that he says he uses a box 1-2 inches above parallel when he works up to heavy weights on box squats. As for squatting wide and at or slightly above parallel, the proof is in the pudding - Chuck has put his depth where it needs to be in order to get some big #s next to his name. You'd be a fool to Squat Ass to Grass in a multi-ply competition if you care about winning. All good athletes play on the edge of cheating because they play to win.

[tastefulphrasing]

@ptarleton Sad that they want to win with the expense of their integrity. They might win, but guys like Misha will always be stronger.

[ptarleton]

@tastefulphrasing

Misha Koklyaev outweighs Chuck by about 90 pounds. Your comparison is hardly fair. If Deep, Close-Stance squats were SO much better at building strength than Squatting wide with gear then Olympic Lifters would be able to just throw on a squat suit and beat powerlifters at their own game. But they can't. The strength to squat 800 raw is different than the strength to squat 1100 in gear. It's a different lift altogether.

[tastefulphrasing]

@ptarleton I didn't compare Misha, I said People like Misha. And it is 1000 times easier to lock out over parallel. Misha Squats well over 800 thank you, and yes, I think if Misha put on a suit and trained for a little while with it, he would kill. Its not a different lift at all, all you are saying is that it is Ok to half ass the sport. Great job man. Look at Kaz, all the way down, look at Coan, all the way down. However, if you want to watch half assed squats I cant help you.......

[bretchet23]

@tastefulphrasing so what do you squat then

[AbsolutSmash]

that was fucking FAST. the speed must be coming from his hat
