There is no reason why a healthy person can't squat like he does. I have osteoarthritis in both knees (left one beyond repair) so I can't go that deep. I still do squats slightly under 90 degrees maintaining control because bouncing is bad for MY knees. If there is no pain or other symptoms why not go for it?
I don't know who wrapped your knees but please FIRE THEM ASAP! Those are absolutely worthless wraps, no since in them being on. You sould barely be able to bend your knees when wraps are done right.
@livin4real I can't believe that you're 41 years old. Where have you been all these years man. Those are warm up wraps not powerlifting knee wraps. Alexejev , Taranenko, Pisarenko back in 70' they all has been using them. How come you're so uneducated. What's going on?
@m5p944 Thats interesting. Never heard of this, and since I am only 22, could you explain me what is the point of those wraps. I mean, why would you leave an empty space right where your kneecap is? Isnt it just easier to put the wraps in a "classic way", but less tight, if you dont want them to give you to much support or whatever. I mean, this shit is like having your powerlifting belt 1cm wide.... Why would you even put them on if they dont change anything.... Just questions, no argument here
Perfect squat, but I for one can't go that low regardless of weight since I have crappy mobility. Props for this guy though, to go as low as possibly and with 310 kilos... wow.
I personally would say that back squats are still very important unless your on roids then they aren't as important and front squat should be more of a focus. How important the back squat really is is hard to say it is individual. But strength is still a precursor to speed and because no drugs doesn't allow for a "Bulgarian" "explosive intensive" style training, to increase bar speed means to increase strength and explosive speed together. So the back squat is still useful. To this extent is ha
Honestly I must have commented on this a year ago I don't even remember. Did you just look through that many comments to find something worth posting on? Also, though I can't be sure your trivia was a counter argument for my statement, if I remember correctly I was debating the use of squats for the Olympic lifts. If your comment is then I argue that his participation in the olympics at that time is irrelevant to the correlation between his classical lift performance and his squat.
@MetalGearSolidFIN Yeah. You must be better at judging someone's form than someone who lifts at the olympics, and guys who train people who competes at the olympics, right? Why are all you people making it so easy for other people to think you're absolute idiots? You've just made a statement that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you know absolutely nothing about training. Nicely done.
Youtube has very little aptitude for the sport of olympic weightlifting. everybody knows everything. yet too damn bad only 1 in every few million people can squat what this man did at that size. unreal strength
The oly bar has a lot of "whip". Since the 105 and +105 guys constantly clean weights near and over 500 lbs. To move those weights quickly you need a bar that will be able to bend because if not it is too hard on the body. Of course the material is better and the bar goes back to normal after the weight is taken off. Unlike the crappy cheap bars that would stay bent.
@JacktheDaniels maybe if he was a 12 year old trying to rebel against mommy and daddy but naw he appears to be a grown man so i don't think lamb of god would help
@Zakksback17 I have no idea what you would change in this... this being a high bar squat, this is next to perfect. No Rounding, explosiveness, tight core, bar above the middle of the feet at all time... explosive lockout.
Now I love SS the book... but this guy here definitely does not need it. And he is an olympic lifter as you can easily deduc t from his surrounding gym and cltohing...
This squat was done deep, fast, and in excellent form. The lifter appears to weigh under 200 lbs., making it an over triple bodyweight squat. Very impressive.
Actually i have a hormone defficiency with tetsosterone under lab values so that makes you squat even that much more pathetic.
Basically dont talk shit aobut people who are stronger then you period. Learn respect and dont be a faggett... No one gives 2 shits about someone with a 110kg squat. .
@Zakksback17 Well if you say so. I hope the Ecuadorian weightlifting team gets your points and weightlifters all around the world. I'm done with this topic, all the best.
@Zakksback17 Are you serious? This is a perfectly executed high bar olympic squat. Maybe if you actually read SS you'd understand knee travel is a function of bar placement and limb lengths, it is not an absolute for every body type.
Also, in the vid of you squatting 95 pounds, you are not keeping your lumbar tight, and that is weight that a 10 year old child could squat. So shut the eff up.
@grambo22 why are his knees taped in his knee tendon?? im guessing tendonitis, because at the bottom its clear that the tendom is being abused...Good lift for him, his sport, whatever, bad for his tendon
You're an idiot. Tendons are made to take stress; and the knee is made to flex and extend and the muscles connected to the tendons are made to contract from flexed and extended positions.
your going to tell an athlete of this status and strength that squatting like he does it bad for his knees? Smokings bad for your lungs are you going to preach that to every smoker? Binge drinkings bad for your liver and brain, are you going to use that as an icebreaker at the next bar you visit? Like seriously dude the guys got a 3x bodyweigth squat which is nothing short of amazing and your worried about his knees?
@andysheri no i am not, I just dont see how this could be the best way to squat. fos his sport? sure, its spot on form, but I wouldnt suggest it to everyone. That is my problem. The average man will come here, see this and say "ok, I will do it like that". And that how they get knee pain, because their ligaments are not used at this kind of pressure, so the squats get bad reputation...and before you say this does not happen, I myself was in that exactly situation...
Sayng the average man will come here see this and do it is just a ridiculous assumption. How would they get knee pain? There obviously not going to start with 310 kgs thats just obsurd the whole point of training is so your body adapts to "that kind of pressure" so if you do this method of squatting and progressively add weight and depth as time goes on your fine, Your knee is in a scructually more stable postion.
he's technique is perfect. It's partial squats which bust the knee not going through a full range of motion. You must hit just below parallel with your hips.
@afghanforlife If you see my post, I say that his form is spot on. And I agree with you with the part about the hip just below knee level low bar squat, it's the best option for the average joe. Actually, box squats with the box at parallel is the best for someone who just starts squatting.
if the form is spot on why do you have a problem recommending it for anyone? A beginner would have less weight on the bar but form must be spot on as in this.
@afghanforlife In order to have a correct form on ATG squats, you need really good hip and ankle mobility and really flexible hamstrings, among other things. Things that the average person, sitting in a chair about 8 hours per day, has not.
@skata123456789456123 then IMO, as a personal trainer, you should first help the average person achieve that sort of flexibility before going any further with their training. IMO having great flexibility and mobility is 100x more important to the average joe's quality of life than any weight they could lift
@Zakksback17 I find it impressive that you argued this long for having no knowledge of weightlifting! I think most people would of stopped and thought they were wrong by now but you just keep on going. Congrats, fight the power!
@Zakksback17 You're knees are supposed to travel forward, and your back is supposed to as straight as possible with a strong back arch. As long as your knees follow directly over your feet that is key. Please don't offer bad advice you could get someone hurt.
How can you say that? This is not a powerlifters squat, this is a weightlifters squat. His depth is terrific and he does still arch his back in "the hole". His knees are also where they should be.
@Zakksback17 No he's not a powerlifter, he is a 94 kilo weightlifter. And since you already saw the trouble of replying here, I'd like to hear what he is doing wrong. Only thing I see he leans a bit forward in the second lift but I wouldn't really call that a mistake with that kind of load.
@Zakksback17 He's not a powerlifter, and his form is fine. Tell me exactly what is wrong that makes you say his form is terrible. Be specific - "several little mistakes there" and that you won't get in details sounds like bullshit.
@Zakksback17 I find it extremely arrogant that you, a complete beginner, thinks you know how to squat better than the equadorian weight lifting team. Do you even understand how ridiculous that makes you look? Maybe a reality check would be in order.
back squat is extremely relevant to olympic lifting.. just as front squat corresponds to clean, back squat corresponds to the snatch. Overhead squat hits the same muscle chain as back squat except it uses the arms as vessels.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
god damn it why dont people squat in the fucking rack where there is safety bars on the sides. Having two mother fuckers on the side and sometimes one from behind dont help shit when the lift fail. those that get injury from doing this deserve it and should die
They don`t squat in the squat rack because they are not as weak as you. And those two motherfuckers on the side are two fucking strong motherfuckers. These guys are not your average guys in the gym. All olympic wheightlifers use the type of squat stand you see in the video.
@bongapendo just because they're stronger, doesn't mean they should do it in the unsafe way. I know how strong those spotters are but that means nothing when they just stand there and do little to help in case the dude cant get up. Safety bars are 10x better than human spotters
Once again, these are not your average guys in the gym. These are worldclass wheightlifters. The squat stand you see in the video is the norm in wheigtlifting. These guys know what they are doing. But I guess you know better. Lol.
@bongapendo They deliberately put themselves at risk for following that stupid rule, that's why i said they deserve it when accident happens. Have you even seen fail squats in the gym and the spotters are too late to stop the bar from crushing the guy? Being pro just means you will have worse injury when accident happens. If I fail a 335, im in no danger to die, while a failed 675 can kill people
No I have never seen a fail squat in the gym by professional wheightlifters, and I challenge you to find a fail squat video by a professional wheigtlifter, you will be hard pressed to find one. That is why I keep telling you, these guys are world class wheigtlifters, there is no fail squat waiting to happen for them. Maybe a fail clean and jerk and a fail snatch or two, but no fail squat. The fail squat videos you will find are of normal training people and/or powerlifters.
@bongapendo You got a point, since this gym uses bumper weights, and he squats ass to the grass, that must means he trains for olympic lifts. This squat is more dangerous than normal squat, it could busts the knees up, what happen if his knees suddenly pop? Not everyone uses knee pads like he does, then spotters fail to catch the weight.. nice lift. Should they not lift safety like I should not wear seatbelt because i will never get into an accident?
@bongapendo Ironically, and this is just a piece of trivia. Anatoly Pisarenko missed squats a week before the olympic games that were less weight than he ended up making in the C&J. If you don't know who Anatoly is, I'm clearly talking to the wrong person, but its very interesting to consider the use of the backsquat itself for improving performance in the classical lifts. The bulgarians ended up cutting out the backsquat in training, and thats saying a great deal. BS is over rated.
Yes, you are talking to the wrong person. And squatwise the front squat and the overhead squat, rather than the back squat, are superior squat exercises for olympic lifting, for obvious reasons. When that is said, this discussion is not about that, it is about whether Eduardo and his training partners know what they are doing or not, and I propose that they are.
And no, the guy in the video is not putting himself at risk, he knows exactly what he is doing and how much his body can handle. There is no squat accident waiting to happen for him, and there probably never will be. Now if he were a powerlifter, then that would be a different story. Do you even know the difference?
@bongapendo You got a point, since this gym uses bumper weights, and he squats ass to the grass, that must means he trains for olympic lifts. This squat is more dangerous than normal squat, it could busts the knees up, what happen if his knees suddenly pop? Not everyone uses knee pads like he does, then spotters fail to catch the weight.. nice lift. Should they not lift safety like I should wear seatbelt because i will never get into an accident?
Haha. He is training for olympic lifts because he IS an olympic lifter, silly. And the type of squat he is doing IS a NORMAL squat. Squatting is performed ass to grass, only reason not to do it is if you ALREADY have knee problems. But hey, you are obviously an expert, never mind how world class olympic lifters have been training for a century, you know best. Lol. And only a couch potato would compare squatting to driving a car and safety bars to seatbelts. Lol.
@IIrond I'm not going to be critical, but "full squats" such as these are more safe and more beneficial than the 90 degree squat that most everyone refers to as a full squat. Its a common misnomer to think that this squat damages the knees, and even more of a misconception that what this guy is doing is "bouncing." I can't do 310, but I did a 210k for 2 today, and stopping at 90 is much harder on your knees. With proper body pos. you should always squat like this.
@bongapendo There is nothing unsafe about what this guy is doing, especially considering it is a double. However what is illogical about the situation is that this high of squat is really unnecessary for use in training the olympic lifts, and only adds more stress for the next training day. In weightlifting it isn't what you can do today, but what you can do on the day of competition. BTW you wont see any elite lifter doing overhead squats. You might be looking at to many cross fit vids.
@olympicstyles I'm actually going to contradict myself here. With that speed, no belt, and considering it was a double, this really isn't as illogical as it seems. That is straight up solid squat and probably is right on his training sequence. Its just crazy I can't believe it.
I know there is nothing unsafe about what this guys is doing, why would it be? I don`t know how unnecessary ordinary squat is for olympic lifters, but there are plenty of videos of world class olympic lifters doing back squat, so they obviously incorporate it into their workouts. As for the overhead squat, olympic lifters perform an overhead squat from the bottom position everytime they train snatch.
@bongapendo Lifters coached by Abajev during the 80's ended up doing 5 lifts only. power snatch/clean, Clean&Jerk, Snatch, and front squat. during this era, the bulgarians produced some of the best lifters in history. As for overhead squats, unless your referring to the snatch in itself as being an overhead squat (I think thats what you mean) then yes of course Oly lifters snatch. Separate OH squats however, are only for warm up. They aren't treated as a separate lift like squat, and aren't used
@bongapendo So you talk trash to everyone else as if you are currently olympic lifting and have some kind of experience, then even when you admit you were wrong, you can't do it without being sarcastic. This is why I only comment on rare occasions because the truth is, people really don't want any one elses help. Even those who claim to know alot. I guess that is tuely my ignorance. This is not a gym after all, and you aren't here to ask for anyones help... but wow man.
Haha. Yes, you must truly be ignorant. I didn`t ask for your help in anything, I was only making a comment to a guy that believed what Eduardo was doing was wrong and dangerous. The truth is that what Eduardo is doing is right, and that is how world class wheigtlifters train back squat. That`s all. And then you came with all your irrelevant information. And when I thank you for it, even though it is irrelevant, you get all important on me. Lol.
@bongapendo LOL. True. I think we all get important on each other. Its all relative though. Youtube is the easiest place to take yourself to seriously. The level of legitimacy on youtube is very low. Knowing that, why do we comment at all? I mean, I'll never know you. I think its very arrogant to think the origin for a comment meant to help someone was only that. I even admit it. So this will be my last. Adios.
@xxxnOSmoKIngxxx lol. You would crap yourself at looking at racks the bulgarians used in the 80's. Two separate stands, each only supported by a disc at the bottom. And they never used a spotter. If you are worried that you might not make a squat, then in this sport you are using to much weight.
Impressive squat and to the guys still in the 3-4 hundred pound squat pound club posting there stats under a video such as this one, you all need to get your head examined
Where did you hit it, up your ass? Lol. Take your faggot ass 335 lbs and shove it further up your crack. When you do close to 700 lbs for reps, you can come back and tell us about it, because that`s what the guy in the video is doing. Better yet, make a video and show us.
And again, a man who proves that belts are unnecessary.
Your lower back and abs are supposed to keep the body balanced. If they fail, just lower the weight. I laugh at people in my gym who try to compensate for the lack of core strength by training with belts.
There's no problem by maxing out with belts occasionally, but using it as your foundation later leads to imbalance and injury.
My P.E teacher prompted me to use belt while deadlifting with a good form. Where is this world heading to?

@grambo22 why are his knees taped in his knee tendon?? im guessing tendonitis, because at the bottom its clear that the tendom is being abused...Good lift for him, his sport, whatever, bad for his tendon

You're an idiot. Tendons are made to take stress; and the knee is made to flex and extend and the muscles connected to the tendons are made to contract from flexed and extended positions.

your going to tell an athlete of this status and strength that squatting like he does it bad for his knees? Smokings bad for your lungs are you going to preach that to every smoker? Binge drinkings bad for your liver and brain, are you going to use that as an icebreaker at the next bar you visit? Like seriously dude the guys got a 3x bodyweigth squat which is nothing short of amazing and your worried about his knees?

@andysheri no i am not, I just dont see how this could be the best way to squat. fos his sport? sure, its spot on form, but I wouldnt suggest it to everyone. That is my problem. The average man will come here, see this and say "ok, I will do it like that". And that how they get knee pain, because their ligaments are not used at this kind of pressure, so the squats get bad reputation...and before you say this does not happen, I myself was in that exactly situation...
skata123456789456123 6 months ago
@skata123456789456123
Sayng the average man will come here see this and do it is just a ridiculous assumption. How would they get knee pain? There obviously not going to start with 310 kgs thats just obsurd the whole point of training is so your body adapts to "that kind of pressure" so if you do this method of squatting and progressively add weight and depth as time goes on your fine, Your knee is in a scructually more stable postion.

@skata123456789456123
he's technique is perfect. It's partial squats which bust the knee not going through a full range of motion. You must hit just below parallel with your hips.
afghanforlife 3 months ago 2
@afghanforlife If you see my post, I say that his form is spot on. And I agree with you with the part about the hip just below knee level low bar squat, it's the best option for the average joe. Actually, box squats with the box at parallel is the best for someone who just starts squatting.
skata123456789456123 3 months ago
@skata123456789456123
if the form is spot on why do you have a problem recommending it for anyone? A beginner would have less weight on the bar but form must be spot on as in this.
afghanforlife 3 months ago
@afghanforlife In order to have a correct form on ATG squats, you need really good hip and ankle mobility and really flexible hamstrings, among other things. Things that the average person, sitting in a chair about 8 hours per day, has not.
skata123456789456123 3 months ago
@skata123456789456123 then IMO, as a personal trainer, you should first help the average person achieve that sort of flexibility before going any further with their training. IMO having great flexibility and mobility is 100x more important to the average joe's quality of life than any weight they could lift

@Zakksback17 You're knees are supposed to travel forward, and your back is supposed to as straight as possible with a strong back arch. As long as your knees follow directly over your feet that is key. Please don't offer bad advice you could get someone hurt.

How can you say that? This is not a powerlifters squat, this is a weightlifters squat. His depth is terrific and he does still arch his back in "the hole". His knees are also where they should be.

@Zakksback17 No he's not a powerlifter, he is a 94 kilo weightlifter. And since you already saw the trouble of replying here, I'd like to hear what he is doing wrong. Only thing I see he leans a bit forward in the second lift but I wouldn't really call that a mistake with that kind of load.

@Zakksback17 He's not a powerlifter, and his form is fine. Tell me exactly what is wrong that makes you say his form is terrible. Be specific - "several little mistakes there" and that you won't get in details sounds like bullshit.

back squat is extremely relevant to olympic lifting.. just as front squat corresponds to clean, back squat corresponds to the snatch. Overhead squat hits the same muscle chain as back squat except it uses the arms as vessels.

god damn it why dont people squat in the fucking rack where there is safety bars on the sides. Having two mother fuckers on the side and sometimes one from behind dont help shit when the lift fail. those that get injury from doing this deserve it and should die
IIrond 1 year ago
@IIrond
They don`t squat in the squat rack because they are not as weak as you. And those two motherfuckers on the side are two fucking strong motherfuckers. These guys are not your average guys in the gym. All olympic wheightlifers use the type of squat stand you see in the video.
bongapendo 1 year ago
@bongapendo just because they're stronger, doesn't mean they should do it in the unsafe way. I know how strong those spotters are but that means nothing when they just stand there and do little to help in case the dude cant get up. Safety bars are 10x better than human spotters
IIrond 1 year ago
@IIrond
Once again, these are not your average guys in the gym. These are worldclass wheightlifters. The squat stand you see in the video is the norm in wheigtlifting. These guys know what they are doing. But I guess you know better. Lol.
bongapendo 1 year ago
@bongapendo They deliberately put themselves at risk for following that stupid rule, that's why i said they deserve it when accident happens. Have you even seen fail squats in the gym and the spotters are too late to stop the bar from crushing the guy? Being pro just means you will have worse injury when accident happens. If I fail a 335, im in no danger to die, while a failed 675 can kill people
IIrond 1 year ago
@IIrond
No I have never seen a fail squat in the gym by professional wheightlifters, and I challenge you to find a fail squat video by a professional wheigtlifter, you will be hard pressed to find one. That is why I keep telling you, these guys are world class wheigtlifters, there is no fail squat waiting to happen for them. Maybe a fail clean and jerk and a fail snatch or two, but no fail squat. The fail squat videos you will find are of normal training people and/or powerlifters.

This has been flagged as spam show
@bongapendo You got a point, since this gym uses bumper weights, and he squats ass to the grass, that must means he trains for olympic lifts. This squat is more dangerous than normal squat, it could busts the knees up, what happen if his knees suddenly pop? Not everyone uses knee pads like he does, then spotters fail to catch the weight.. nice lift. Should they not lift safety like I should not wear seatbelt because i will never get into an accident?
IIrond 1 year ago
@bongapendo Ironically, and this is just a piece of trivia. Anatoly Pisarenko missed squats a week before the olympic games that were less weight than he ended up making in the C&J. If you don't know who Anatoly is, I'm clearly talking to the wrong person, but its very interesting to consider the use of the backsquat itself for improving performance in the classical lifts. The bulgarians ended up cutting out the backsquat in training, and thats saying a great deal. BS is over rated.
olympicstyles 1 year ago
@olympicstyles
Yes, you are talking to the wrong person. And squatwise the front squat and the overhead squat, rather than the back squat, are superior squat exercises for olympic lifting, for obvious reasons. When that is said, this discussion is not about that, it is about whether Eduardo and his training partners know what they are doing or not, and I propose that they are.

And no, the guy in the video is not putting himself at risk, he knows exactly what he is doing and how much his body can handle.

Haha. He is training for olympic lifts because he IS an olympic lifter, silly. And the type of squat he is doing IS a NORMAL squat. Squatting is performed ass to grass, only reason not to do it is if you ALREADY have knee problems. But hey, you are obviously an expert, never mind how world class olympic lifters have been training for a century, you know best. Lol. And only a couch potato would compare squatting to driving a car and safety bars to seatbelts. Lol.
bongapendo 1 year ago
@IIrond I'm not going to be critical, but "full squats" such as these are more safe and more beneficial than the 90 degree squat that most everyone refers to as a full squat. Its a common misnomer to think that this squat damages the knees, and even more of a misconception that what this guy is doing is "bouncing." I can't do 310, but I did a 210k for 2 today, and stopping at 90 is much harder on your knees. With proper body pos. you should always squat like this.
olympicstyles 1 year ago
@bongapendo There is nothing unsafe about what this guy is doing, especially considering it is a double. However what is illogical about the situation is that this high of squat is really unnecessary for use in training the olympic lifts, and only adds more stress for the next training day. In weightlifting it isn't what you can do today, but what you can do on the day of competition. BTW you wont see any elite lifter doing overhead squats. You might be looking at to many cross fit vids.
olympicstyles 1 year ago
@olympicstyles I'm actually going to contradict myself here. With that speed, no belt, and considering it was a double, this really isn't as illogical as it seems. That is straight up solid squat and probably is right on his training sequence. Its just crazy I can't believe it.
olympicstyles 1 year ago
@olympicstyles
I know there is nothing unsafe about what this guys is doing, why would it be? I don`t know how unnecessary ordinary squat is for olympic lifters, but there are plenty of videos of world class olympic lifters doing back squat, so they obviously incorporate it into their workouts. As for the overhead squat, olympic lifters perform an overhead squat from the bottom position everytime they train snatch.
bongapendo 1 year ago
@bongapendo Lifters coached by Abajev during the 80's ended up doing 5 lifts only. power snatch/clean, Clean&Jerk, Snatch, and front squat. during this era, the bulgarians produced some of the best lifters in history. As for overhead squats, unless your referring to the snatch in itself as being an overhead squat (I think thats what you mean) then yes of course Oly lifters snatch. Separate OH squats however, are only for warm up. They aren't treated as a separate lift like squat, and aren't used

This is not a gym after all, and you aren't here to ask for anyones help... but wow man.
olympicstyles 1 year ago

Haha. Yes, you must truly be ignorant. I didn`t ask for your help in anything, I was only making a comment to a guy that believed what Eduardo was doing was wrong and dangerous. The truth is that what Eduardo is doing is right, and that is how world class wheigtlifters train back squat. That`s all. And then you came with all your irrelevant information. And when I thank you for it, even though it is irrelevant, you get all important on me. Lol.

And again, a man who proves that belts are unnecessary.
Your lower back and abs are supposed to keep the body balanced. If they fail, just lower the weight. I laugh at people in my gym who try to compensate for the lack of core strength by training with belts.
There's no problem by maxing out with belts occasionally, but using it as your foundation later leads to imbalance and injury.
My P.E teacher prompted me to use belt while deadlifting with a good form. Where is this world heading to?
