Girl Box Squats 225 lbs @ 112 lbs body weight!

[wvjon75]

Ok so the depth is a little high but really I'm impressed considering this is double bodyweight for her.

[ubermensch2k]

whats the point of having the rack lol

[AwestaKhalid]

The ROM-nazi's are in full effect. 

[suroorsulthan]

very sexy lady. you need more muscular man like me.

[chopUHstyle]

Great work. I am gonna start a 20 rep squat program today.

[TitoNunez8]

I'm in love...

[twinturboedm3]

i dont get why people always go off on rom. who cares? 99% of people who lift aren't competing, so there are no standards of what is or isn't a rep. if you lift to better yourself, then you have your own set of goals and you work at a rom comfortable to you. if clients are lifting improperly where they could possibly hurt themselves then that's an issue. however, this isn't the case in this video. plus doing partials for any movement can help your overall lift. keyboard warriors need to think

[cto5050]

@32rainking. Actually below parallel squats put less shear force on the knees than a parallel squat.

[unixrebel]

whats the point of getting her to do box squats. raise her full squat

[Glutenbob]

im 15 and a girl and can max 600 lbs raw ATG..come at me bros

[BExASt1]

if anyone ever box squats, you know how tough that shit is. and to hit 225lb BOX squatting at that weight is impressive.

[BootyBot]

that was really great!! I'd like to see a vid of her going below parallel though..

[Raptorel]

Really nice. Good form, no belt. Heck, I know a handful of "roid raged" guys at my gym that'd be afraid to squat 225 without a belt (seriously).

[drmoroe30]

I used to squat 285 with the "sitting on a bench" technique. I now do full Olympic squats with 165 for 5 reps now that are WAY harder.

[hvf26]

pretty impressive for that weight range...

[costantin75]

Man, I hate haters! She may have some minor technique flaws, but that's some badass squat, for sure. 2x bodyweight, completely raw, for a woman? C'mon, guys! And, if you care to look again, the lift is parallel, or so close that it doesn't matter. Great squat, congrats!

[rscabbage]

click 8 rapidly l0l

[MonaghanHatesYou]

hahaha i love the "spot" aka quick titty feel. and just the general awkwardness of the dude.

[ProjectWarrior]

@MonaghanHatesYou I hate spotting women. Better to grab the bar or side spot. Good thing she's my girlfriend though eh =D

[zazenzach]

not below parallel, not even at parellel.

doesnt count. sorry mate.

[ProjectWarrior]

@zazenzach Doesn't count as what lol? I'm pretty sure she box squatted 225 lbs. Please send me your phenomenal gym efforts that allow you to speak so lowly of someone who is just trying to get stronger.... shame on you man.

[zazenzach]

@ProjectWarrior

look up the definition of a squat. if youre not going to atleast parallel, your not activating or fully activating all the muscles you should be.

which automatically means muscle imbalance (poor hamstrings, lower back and core in this context)

if you cant use proper form, it doesnt mean shit.

there are idiots at my gym who can bust out 25 consecutive chinups with 1/4 ROM, but the minute you have them do a true dead hang they can barely even do 5 complete reps

[ProjectWarrior]

@zazenzach Not doing a below parallel squat does not automatically mean muscle imbalances! Squatting ATG and butt-winking is waaaay more dangerous. I always use the box squat first with my clients until stronger hamstrings and improved flexibility are realized. Again shame on you for hating on someone who is just trying to improve. There is nothing wrong with partial range of motion. If I can lift a truck an inch off the ground that's pretty bad ass isn't it?

[JMcIntyre417]

@ProjectWarrior It's awesome, bro.. Her form is flawless on this video..more of a powerlifting style squat where the descent starts at the hips and the lower leg stays totally perpendicular the whole time. With that in mind, @zazenzach, reaching parallel is the only concern...and shes close Box squats are designed to condition power to blast up..its like training a bench with a board. Post your girl squatting and show us what's up. Otherwise..go hate on the faggots curling in the squat rack.

[RisingStars]

@ProjectWarrior

I disagree, squatting atg is no more dangerous than box squats. However, if you are working with someone who has 0 flexibility and has never been to the gym in their life, then sacrificing some ROM is fine until they can get their flexibility up. But i would always emphasize form over lifting heavy.

[dasmartretard]

@ProjectWarrior yups fully agree. It's not like you were claiming any sort of record or perfectionism. 225 box squat no matter a range of motion for her size is awesome. not to be sexist but especially for a woman lols. ne ways u gots a hot n musical gf.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

@ProjectWarrior the title was not misleading in anyway, which is normally my only gripe with gym / training vids like these. often times very decent displays of strength are undermined by putting things like ATG in the title, when the lift is clearly above parallel. this girl is getting strong as shit, and the box wasn't even much above parallel. haters gonna hate.

[xjusticex2013x]

@ProjectWarrior He was only stating that she didn't make depth...

But yeah, buttwink can be a problem, and box squats are useful for working into squatting. Pretty strong girl.

[DirEnRefused]

@ProjectWarrior So call it a half squat in the title.

[tino10k]

@ProjectWarrior True, There are very few individuals who can do perfect form parallel or below parallel Olympic back squats right out of the gate. You are right, the box squat is a great exercise that gets people working in the right direction towards doing proper Olympic squats. Even individuals who are healthy and athletic need to get their hamstrings, hips, ankles, fully activated before they can start squatting with perfect form. The girl in the video did a great job.

[RedWildz]

@zazenzach

The top portion of the squat is actually the most intensive period for the posterior chain -- the hams, glutes and lower back. A deep squat lessens the tension on the hams and lower back, placing it more on the quads, hips and glutes.

That said, box squats certainly "count," especially considering it's just a damn training session. Westside Barbell lifters train exclusively with box squats, for example.

[jgreystoke]

@zazenzach That was not powerlifting competition. So she didn't have to squat to parallel. We presume she is not an Olympic weightlifter, or she would favor high bar deep squats with a weight that only has to be a bit better than her max clean. If she wants to get strong for athletics or whatever, she is doing the right thing. And she is really going somewhere. Post a vid of yourself box squatting twice bodyweight if you are girl, and a lot more if you are male.

[DirEnRefused]

@ProjectWarrior A squat is at parallel or below man, simple as that. She didn't go to parallel, she didn't do a proper squat. Not an insult, just facts.

[32Rainking]

@ProjectWarrior Well, he was a bit curt, he should have put, she's in excellent shape, and that is very impressive for a 112lb piano teacher. And that is all certainly true and what she did was impressive-however, he's right, her legs weren't paralell.Below paralell,well,IDKwhy he put thatp;only idiots MAX OUT past par. as it does major dmage to the knees. However,not parelell,a bench to rest on-it wouldn't count as a lift in competetition,nor to any real powerlifter/pers.tainer

[NoKTuRNeoFShadoW]

@zazenzach lol wat, its a box squat.

[zazenzach]

@NoKTuRNeoFShadoW

yea box squat simply means youre squating onto a box. but squatting by definition requires you to atleast it parallel

the box you squat onto needs to be lower than the one shes doing

[RustyIronloins]

@zazenzach Doesn't count? Are you competing with her? Weird... And I thought that she did quite well all things considered.

[fighthard13]

@zazenzach what @ProjectWarrior said is correct and not only that it is a box squat which requires more strength as you pause and have to drive the weight up from nothing, basically you have no momentum so shut up troll

[navaret86]

i cant squat even a teddy beard.. :(

[voutespancar]

he is in love with her

[vf1764]

Wow....shut the front door. :O! Lol I know he was spotting her but it almost looked like he was coping a feel.

[Brittym95]

[mark28105]

[bobbyatopk]

[TraceurKyle]
