Front Squat 140 KG @ 16 YO @ 67 kg

[kirkoswald21]

thats insane! how do you manage that weight and be so skinny!!!! so impressive

[mikeyburger1]

tbh i don;t know... it's a joke as now I'm 82 kg, 19 and I can barely front squat 140 kg

[kirkoswald21]

@mikeyburger1 haha how does that work! you're 19 and 82kgs and you cant beat what you did when you were 16!?! im 25 and 81 kgs and can only back squat 140 for 3 reps!

[mikeyburger1]

I really don't have a clue... Nothing in this damm world seems to make any sense If I'm honest :S

[enzq87]

don't close your knees ;)

[d50111]

Sick. Very nice.

[mikeyburger1]

Thanks :) back in the good old days!

[FishSup018]

Congradulations, I've seen other of your videos. You're strength is impressive. Just don't twist your knees that mutch, since you're going to develop an o-type legs later on.

[mikeyburger1]

@FishSup018 thanks :) I will do my best to continue to please. Haha I know, this is a very old video actually but yea need to be careful with my knees i've improved the prolem quite a lot recently.

[buffnloco]

Very nice. Good job.

[mikeyburger1]

thanks, if only I could do this now

[mister100m]

Hi very good job ! Does the strength in your front squat carry over to your back squat?

[mikeyburger1]

cheers. yea it does pritty much, although if you just do fronts you will probably find you can do more on your front relative to back so like 140 front, 150 back, if you do lots of backs then maybe only 120 front, 160 back etc.

[halflife1994]

I can only do 60kg 3 sets 15 reps. t.t

[mikeyburger1]

haha dont worry, i CANT do 1 set of 15 with 60 kg :)

[halflife1994]

@mikeyburger1 sorry, not kg, i mean lbs. xD

[DubStepBangers]

I wish there was a place like this near me, I just practice my shitty olympic lifts at my local gym, and have all the meatheads staring at me... I don't squat much, but I'm tryin to do cleans and clean n press everyweek now, I'm 78/79kg and my PB for a clean is 90kg and 85 for the clean and press, I've been told I can get alot more if my technique was better, but I'm too scared to squat on the clean!! Any ideas of overcoming my fear? these front squats would make sense...

[mikeyburger1]

I train in a sports hall, it is quite unprofessional. I have spent half my "career" training in a tiny garage, cluttered with crap, that was a pain& You definately need to start squatting!!!!! yea, you really cant get anywhere without the ability to squat, it will be hard work if you have power cleaned all this time, but in time you will find you can squat clean more probably/

[strongmanmarco]

awesome!

[mikeyburger1]

[collwatt]

[mikeyburger1]

[mikeyburger1]

[AllmanBros424]

Well done.

Try to keep the knees from buckling in, though. Other than that, good job!

[mikeyburger1]

cheers, yea I know, this was an old one, I've sorted that out a bit... unfortunately gone down hill a bit since, I can hardly do this now

[ArchivistMA]

Well done. Very strong guy althohugh he doesn't look big.

[mikeyburger1]

thanks! If only I could do this now :(

[SDKING08]

thats prety gud man

[BulldozerJack]

Ładnie!

[mjtunstall1976]

better put your toes inward not outward that is why you are having trouble lifting it up!!

[Alwinekk]

taaa, jak on waży może z 80kg, a 140 podniesie... napewno

[mikeyburger1]

Sorry I don't speak satsuma lol! Can you translate haha?

[Alwinekk]

@mikeyburger1

I'm from Poland and i speak my language

[mikeyburger1]

Hi Alwinekk... I'm sorry that was my idea of a truely terrible joke... I have nothing against Polish people :), please don't be offended by that...

[mikeyburger1]

Can you possibly translate what you said, something about me weighing 80 kg, lifting 140 kg, and the word certainly at the end is all i understood.

[tillerbear]

Thats unbelievable you look far to slight to be able to squat that much.

[mikeyburger1]

haha had good muscles on me here!! I also think the picture makes me look a little thinner. Yea I think I was 69 Kg here. I think its 25 + 20 + 10 + 2.5 + Collar, that is 140 k isnt it?

[tillerbear]

Great effort though, Thats what ive just reached weight wise and i'm 94 kg..

[mikeyburger1]

thanks man!

[mikeyburger1]

haha thankyou! Wish I could bloody do this now! LOL!!

[ww020269]

Where are you fro, man?

You lift much heavier in full bottom front SQ than most strength athletes in Japan. Come over here and show your strength to them.

[mikeyburger1]

Hi! Im from Great Britain :D

hahaha, aww thanks for the compliment, but i doubt that veyr much, im not very strong :) my best f-squat is 145 atm...

[ww020269]

Oh I didint think there is an olympiclifting gym there. ha ha lol

Your enogh strong to show off your strength here in Japan lol Nobody can squat down as deep as you do and they always use belts lol

Will you be competing in London Olympic? l believe you will.

[mikeyburger1]

haha well, there isnt really LOL!!

haha, thats generally the case lol yea.

aw well thanks for the enthusiasm! I WOULD LOVE TO!! i dont think im good enough yet, I havnt even got anywhere to train at the moment lol! :( which is a shame!
