460kg - BigArnie's Attempt at the IPF SHW Squat Record

[StrongTurd]

Thank you so much, Dresendezz. That's most kind. If all goes well I'll take another crack at that record later this year.

[SyntaxEddie]

Nice lift man

[m5p944]

If everybody would squat ass to grass there would be no depth questions anymore. Just like olympic weightlifters. Those are the only ones who knows real meaning of word a squat.

[moo88id]

this was 3 years ago

so did u break it? or in the near future

i hope u do

and i want to see it if u did

[MasterOfPES]

That lift is actually good in my opinion...

[lozzballer13]

Great attitude toward the judges decision mate.

[HinoDead]

me pica los hueos

[plantera07]

real men walk it out

[philt4141]

So close! IPF is hella strict, either way amazing, incredible, awesome weight and real squat form!

[tempac91]

You are a beast.

[swettybettybob]

big squat :O

[StrongTurd]

Thanks a lot, WalkingAnomaly, I'll sure try!

[aWalkingAnomaly]

Dude, that lift looked perfect to me, especially after seeing Vogelpohl's recent record. I have nothing against Chuck, but his squat was a mile high compared to yours. You'll have that record in no time. In my mind, you already do.

[harriganes]

Too many spotters on stage.

[muscleturtle]

you also snorted an ammonia capsule within veiw of the public. That is illegal in the IPF and refs give shitty judging when that happens.

[HalifaxHercules]

@muscleturtle Under IPF Technical Rules "Order of Competition" Rule #2, a lifter is not allowed to wrap, adjust his costume, or use ammonia within the view of the public.

However, a lifter is allowed to use ammonium if in the warmup area or outside public view.

[muscleturtle]

@HalifaxHercules yup, I know the rules. he used it a foot away from the platform. Ive seen red lights given for that.

[Stronghulk1]

Power!!!

[Jrjoran]

respect!

[tempac91]

If he has enough strength to walk away from/to the stands, then maybe he can squat more weight?

[55AllOut]

Well to me the depth looked legit, but agin the camera angle may have been the issue

[StrongTurd]

I got one while for that squat.

[ADER1961]

Looked very close - Difficult to tell from that angle how high/low that was - Very close though and have seen squats there or therebouts get passed so maybe a bit unlucky - How many reds/whites did you get?

[gymboy99]

looked deep enough to me

[ofnair]

YOu can't see shit due to bad camera, light and angle. But it is one hell of a strong squat!

[tlast2012dude]

it looked like a legal squat to me.

[legendofjd3]

As a side referee (state level) that squat looked nice. massive weight.

[CuntyTom]

That was so close; definitely there or thereabouts. Any idea when you are going for it again?

[rohitf117]

looks good to me ..amazing strength

[Wiegieboard]

Amazing lift. That's the thing of dreams.

[sarcol]

how the hell did that not count???

wat did u miss??

[hockeyguy10101010]

wow amazing ! this is awesome

[SuperGeek1979]

480lbs seemed like a lot when I was 16

[forcefedfreak]

are you retarded it's kg. Multiply by 2.2 to get the poundage.

[iballinn]

its not 480lbs, its 460kg. which is 1010lbs i think...

[powerpunch2]

bull shit judges, that was a perfect squat

[NNosimajj]

There are no judges in the IPF.

[Benching341]

Do a quick search for squat precision

where detecting perfect, legal squat depth for ANY federation has become an exact science. PS awesome lift.

[richie1916]

im sorry but the fact you might have been half an inch too high is ridiculas when you compare your squat to some of the other "world records" here on youtube. your attitude and modesty earn you ten times the respect of other lifters! good luck breaking this record in the near future

[grambo22]

That is why IPF is good. The feds with monolifts/ridiculous suits that cause super wide stances and 2 inch ROM 1200lbs squats are a joke, everyone should ignore them.

[HalifaxHercules]

@richie1916 As an IPF and Special Olympics lifter myself, IPF referees are known for being strict on Squat depth.

Other federations, notable WPC and GPC, are known for being lenient on Squats.

In other words, no two Powerlifting federations are going to have the same performance standards.

[StrongTurd]

Thanks a lot for the kind comments, Gentlemen. Much appreciated.

[lilsuperman87]

My friend, you just walked back 1012Lbs and squatted it w/ a normal stance(maybe a tad wider) but none the less. That was how you squat. The squat looked good to me! Plus, as I said, you walked it back. NO monolift or OVER WIDE SUMO stance! Great job!

[jlinteris]

I like your attitude in the info box. No point having a record that draws controversy. You know you are strong enough to kill that so do it again, go deeper so there is no question as for the depth and set the record! You are one big, strong freak. Unbelievable power!

[screggs27]

Man thats pretty dang close nice squat man, I'd of personally given it to you

[budadi]

Looks like you got strength for at least 10kg more :O Whats your training personal best in squat??

[theungeek]

I thought that was high, I agree with your video description. Im actually going to get back into lifting, im 25 now and my highest lift was 750lbs at age 16. I have a video uploaded with my highlights if you want to check it out.

[secuervo]

Nice lift.  Who currently holds the record? Is it Karwoski?

[Badbooi]

Shane Hamman.

[secuervo]

Duh. SHW not 275. Sorry, I had a brain fart. Thanks.

[museguest]

omg that's huge total respect but a little little bit higher.

[Weightlifter10000]

at least there strict, the IPF are very respected and are reliable records so i suppose its not all bad, maybe it was that they just wernt sure, wheras in other feds they would have guessed and said yes because it looked it lol

[tylerwal]

legal lift, don't see how you could say that was high

[pussgurka]

Looked deep enough from here but I know that 3 judges gotta ok it for it to be a lift. You WILL get that lift!

[powerac200dbp]

just needs to be a little bit deeper..awesome squatting nevertheless.u'l' get it next time

[mikeyburger1]

that looked alright, id give u that dude, unreal lift... ye depth, no THAT WAS A SQUAT! and as IPF possibly best squat ever, great stuff !

[hennybotha]

Die beste lift wat ek nog in die IPF gesien het. Hy is joue.

[jonnywildboar]

great lift , the strength is there ,thats for sure ,next time matey

[bigrob1971]

Awesome attempt Arno, I think you were very unlucky!
