DeFrancosTraining.com - 6'06" 15-year-old box squatting

[NoobsSuckx7]

im 15 , 6 ft and the most ive squated so far is 255 lb's

but im sure i can do alot more

[ChayenBros]

aren't you supposed to box squat a lot more that u normally squat?

just saying......

[mrbtardation]

Squats really are a lot harder for tall guys. Today I talked with an olympic lifter at the gym. He said he has never seen such tall guy squat so deep. (194cm) I try to go ATG but apparently the reason the reason tall people don't go ass to grass is because they get the ass wink at the bottom which kills lumbar spine sooner or later. I have this problem too.

I've got some serious hamstring stretching to do...

[romerov002]

I've always been wondering why tall people have a hard time doing squats...now i know. now I'm kinda glad I'm 5'8".

[beats1n1shit]

is this guy good enough to be in the nba. i heard tim thomas talking about him cuz he's his cousin

[gold194]

i know someone who is 5'6 175 lbs who can squat 643lbs so...

[UncleZach]

im 14 yrs old

165 pounds

and i box squat 235

6 timess

[nikeswoosh79]

Two things here. First, this is a little young to be getting into heavy loaded weight. 15 year olds don't need heavy resistance to build strength and power. Second... BIG second! If you're gonna train this movement coach, DO IT RIGHT. His knees should never be moving anterior to his feet up or down and obviously this IS happening. Be careful. Good Luck.

[bravesat2]

hahahah try squatting when your 6'5 300lbs.

that really sucks

[tt856]

im 13 5'2 and i squat 250

[7bush7]

im 6'3 189lbs and squats arent that hard in the beginning they really sucked but i think your body gets used to its

im not sure if what i aquat is alot two 45's on each side plus the bar is like 225lbs?

[kaaledb]

what is this guys weight, height, max squat, and age? thanks!

[BigMbot]

Holy shit, he is 6 foot 6, and 15, it sais it right in the title.

[Thrasher502]

6'6" 127 lbs

[NeoOsiris19]

I'm pretty sure height has nothing to do with difficulty of squatting. I'm 6'1 and have no problems squatting, I've always been under the impression that the squat movements are generally all relative regardless of height. I think the major difference is whether you have longer legs relative to the rest of your body.

[robertarichardson]

hieght doesnt make a differance to squats! is you go down to parralel and up to straite the muscles are being worked in the same motion whether your tall or short. most people hate squats, stop lucking for excuses! as the old saying goes..... ''SHUT UP AND SQUAT''

[ilikcagrls]

actually....the dynamics of taller people squating makes it more difficult.....

so comparing weights of someone who is shorter to someone who is taller shouldn't be done.

most people who squat over 1,000lbs are not 6'6"+ I am willing to bet no one is over 6'3"

[257morg]

Taller means better lever. Tall people can work with higher weights, but they never get a muscle form as short people. So you have to train harder for better physic, you have to eat much more etc. They are just lazy to train, that's all.

Dynamic isn't different, as long your body is proportional. And the way is equalized by lever, as said.

[delyshBB]

The average person though, should squat more if they're taller. With training, you're right. A taller person has naturally more muscle on them and their tendons and ligaments are longer.

[legendrow]

Height will define the range of motion a person is able to perform. It is less likely that a taller person will be able to perform ATG squats as efficiently as a shorter person.

[diesel7777777]

It does require more muscular strength for a taller person to move the same weight. The leverage is not as great due to the femur being longer, and the weight must also be moved a greater distance. That being said, tall people, with enough work, can squat great weights.

[DomDag]

Its tim thomas' Nephew

[DropD3adGorg3ous]

the box is supposed to adjust to your height

[RichardODwyer]

he needs to eat something...

[ishldknwbttr]

lol

[patroclus1990]

yeah its not fair being tall. those short people dont have to go down very far.

[alexrimsrydr57]

so true! im 6'3" and im 15, and it sucks to squat

[lifesucks963]

How would you know what it's like to squat when your small if your tall? Lol

[NicholasDoumbia]

Same, I'm 14 6'3" and am horrible at squats...Lucky short people :(

[kaaledb]

i'm 17, 6'7".... squats are worse than hell itself haha

[Abandonednati0n]

im 5'7 and squats are the shit. fuck u tall mothafuckas

[Raptorel]

That's irrelevant, you have more leverage to express even a lower amount of strength in the sports event itself (say basketball). So don't feel sorry for yourselves.

[TWKILLJOY]

WORD. I'm 6'5 and I ABSOLUTELY DREAD doing squats at football practice. But, they do help so I live with them.

[ISG187]

yeah this is true im 5'5 and i can squat 315 lbs

[JessicaE44]

TIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drewzker]

I have a build similar to this kid(i'm about 6' 6" 200lbs) and find that squats are the hardest lifts for me. Not parralel box squats like he's doing, but full Ass to Grass squats. It's hard going waayyy down with long, thin legs.

[newaza79]

Have you tried front squats...maybe vary it up.

[mrbrent01]

Is he dunkin?

[DomDag]

Yeah ive seen in in real life

[facesittingflagger]

How much does this kid weigh?

[DeSmetownescbc]

wow im 15 too but i just wrestle and weight lift, but keep up the good work, and u'll end up somewhere man

[castellanos888]

thats fucking tight

my friends 15 and 6'8 and plays bball but hes a DUMBASS LOL

[saulherman]

thats awesome man I hope this guy has a great career. I am also 6'5 but never workout like this.

THIS KID WILL BE DWIGHT HOWARD KEEP UP THE WORK MAN!!!

[JKDflash85]

good stuff. that is strong for many 15 year olds let alone 6'6" ones. with his natural ability and added strength from your training, this kid is going to be an absolute monster in a few years. any updates on his training and progress?

[josiphorus]

Hey, I didn't get it

This boy is 6'6"

Or

6' 0.6" ?

I mean, is he 198cms, or 183 cms tall?

[joedefranco]

He's 6feet, 6inches. 198cms.

[boricuafrican]

it can't be THAT hard to figure out, can it?!?! he's 6'6" just so you know...

[yh99dkyu]

thats tall as shit if he gets strong gains weight he's gonna be like d-1 linemen or

Tight end which is very hard to be lol

[rivetingcactus]

i think he plays b-ball

[bradehringer]

weak!

[joedefranco]

This is the 3rd time this kid ever box-squatted.

BTW, he would dunk on you and make you look like a fool.

[djsm028]

Push the hips through so the glutes finish the lift. This helps fix/prevent anterior hip pain. Great work though.

[OUBOXER]

anyone who talks smack this is a 6'6 15 year old who is learning squat technique and putting some meat on his legs. In two or three years hell be doing 3x what he is doing here, if not more. 15 year old basketball player aren't typically going to have huge squat strength or technique right off the bat.

[xingjitsu]

His femur is like 3 feet long! I thought mine was bad.

[MJABlackoutFreestyle]

brilliant man but neva expect to squat heavy loadz becoz u have reallllllllly long legs!!

[nwmrkt]

wtf...

[SRAKA99]

exactly... WTF???

[FishTricks]

Awesome.
