Michigan Tech: Free Safety Parallel Squat Record 495

[xxxpurexxxstrength]

gj but at end it looked like you doing a humping type move it bad for ur kneees

[keshav0312]

so what if it's a 'half squat' ? maybe the guy is a powerlifter? and hitting parallel is all he needs for it to count as a lift

[mettlemoxie]

@keshav0312 even power-lifters work full range squats...the good one's at least.

[Rattattattatt]

Twoeyes = troll. Hopefully.

[jeff21693]

Perfect

[TheSkiidog]

I squat that much and weigh a lot less than you do.

[bulldog7968]

im a junior in high school and my freshman year our quarter back was squatting 500 no doubt this is impressive but just saying.

[MerkabaStar]

More like 3/4

[choders0202]

This is a half squat

[h4d193]

@tw0ey3s Lol.

[captaincaveman48]

heif squat lol

[smoaky123]

theirs a kid at my school in sc who hold the record hes a soph and squats 600 of course hes only 5'5 but still hes a straight beast and he bench presses 280

[smoaky123]

@smoaky123 oh and ill try to get a vid tomorow cause i got football and wieghts with him

[JaredStJeezy52]

shits weak. theres kids all over just the Tulsa Metro area in highschool stronger than that

[psvc22]

thats the worst fucking squat

[KILA96817]

saxzw- fuckin liar!!!

[NickMaidenACDC]

lol my buddy in school (high school) did 500 2x at practice and he is in the 169 weight class... he won state (Florida) and his deep back squat is 425, just saying.

[petrar4]

looks high but that could just be the camera angle

[zazenzach]

that didn't even go to parallel.

therefore it doesn't count

[timtheguy]

who ever says that aint a real squat can suck a dick

[element0990]

all these people are talking about squatting all this high weight but i bet they can only do about 1/2 to 3/4 that weight going parallel

[1134BlackLabel]

@element0990

He didnt go parallel. No doubt hes not strong, but probably has a 455 FULL squat.

Still impressive non the less.

[bigbatistag]

the squat record at my school is 660

[azneserice]

mtu needs lifters who arent pussies

[jacobizspivey123]

sorry, i meant to say the free saftey at my highschool squats 550, and hes a junior.

[jacobizspivey123]

is this a university?

the highschool i go to has a record of 550? and it was by a junior?

[ricktennyson10]

are you asking if the high school you went to has a record of 550? and do you know not if it was by a junior? are you retarded?

[208footballman]

90% of D-1 schools would not count this shit as a parallel squat.... That's bullshit.....

[1134BlackLabel]

I agree, no way in hell this was parallel.

[armando40]

he plays football he's not at a meet

[1134BlackLabel]

Then all the more reason he should be full squatting. Half squats deliver... half the benifits of full squats.

[mettlemoxie]

@1134BlackLabel as a football player the power squat is better suited and I think should be the bulk of training. Full squatting can also be employed but there are very few times in football when your are narrow stanced and in full flexion.

[EndlersaurusRex]

@mettlemoxie A full squat will engage the hamstrings and glutes more than a "power squat". Specific lifting should never encompass the majority of the lifting; developing overall athleticism and strength through full ROM and then working on specific strength with adding specific exercises is generally better.

[asiandahl]

everyone has a different idea of what parallel is to them, are football coach has us go below parallel so that we dont over develop our quads. but i dont like this guys form..

[mikemarc92]

entering my freshman year at penn state university and i will b starting at free safety

6'2 206 and i could probably do this as well

[pandy445]

on my football team we only get two attempts but my coach makes us do box squats so my max was lower than ever

[volcomvs]

this is why nobody has ever heard of Michigan tech

[werdna661]

well its not impossible to be 16 and squat 500 BUT I dont believe killobamaplease is telling the truth lol. I put up 405 before my 17th birthday and im 19 now. but i kinda stopped working on it it probably hasnt gone up since then.

[chadcite]

everyones talking about who squats more in h.s / freshman what ever. point of the matter this is a damn knee bend not a squat

[toomanyscreennames]

his hips were as low as his knees.... that = parallel

[jyelcapitan]

dude ur a fuckin beast!

[remyufc]

You're all squatting high.

[Irregularly69]

bullshit asshole

[killobamaplease]

dude i can put a video up sometime soon if you want me to its no problem

[killobamaplease]

Im 16 and squat 500 not that hard

[saxzw]

I'm  10 and i squat 800 pounds,how about that

[ObamaTheRealLoser]

I almost choked on this diced chicken breast when I read your comment. Thanks for a quick laugh.

[BerkTheSportsGuy]

Epic! You have me beat by about 300 lbs congratultions

[dubaitm]

thats really sad

[BerkTheSportsGuy]

No silly i squat 500. This other guy jokingly said he could squat 800 so i congratulated him.

[FORZAMILANALE]

w.e man  its still a fucking good squat...im just sayin 14? if he is? more fucking power to him..

[Hammered306]

This guy is a pimp

[FORZAMILANALE]

14 year olds squatting 500? nothing is impossible but for them ROIDS ARE ONE HELL OF A DRUG lol .....naturally i dont see anyone PROPERLY squatting 500 at 14

[airsoftkombat]

its pretty impessive how easily he handled the weight though, for the amount of stress that weights put on the bones

[URmomsAcumDUMPSTER]

I like how u c a strong guy and automaticly get jealous and try to make him look like a cheater, im 20 yrs old 5'7'' 200lbs and i can 6 rep 335lb on an incline bench press... Am i also a cheater?

Just get ur ass in the gym and do hard work, then u wont havta b so jealous :)

[FORZAMILANALE]

lmao man u are 20? this guys balls just dropped apperantly...im not jelous at all..i just find it hard to belive he can aquat such an amount at that age...if someone can prove hes 14 good for him....as for getting my ass in the gym ARE U fucking MENTAL...sorry to say man but im in the gym training 6 days a week....i train like a fucking machine.i train for a sport....I weigh 155, i can squat 240 ass to the grass 10 times, thats not too bad...and ur not a cheater ..never said that ever...peace

[CootieandBooger]

weve got junior in high school that does 650..

[chaehyun13]

man i feel like shit haha.

sophmore 6'2 245 play dl/ol

squat-505

bench-255 (leave me alone)

deadlift-465

hang clean-255

and 40 time 5.03 just thought i would throw that in there

[mswoonc]

did anyone ask?

[RJJProductionzzz]

theres one sophmore maybe 2 or 3 that squat 500 ibs and there gym rats sooo...

[manskitheguy]

Are u serious? no offense but there atleast 10 Freshman at my highschool that squat atleast 500....

[Lancer5454]

yeah thats bullshit...i have never seen a freshman in high school squat 500lbs...i know college lineman who do, but not high school freshman.

[manskitheguy]

are you serious? You obviously dont come from a school thats hard working and dedicated. Just ask around, there are plenty of freshmen that are getting bigger and stronger as years progress. We take region every year becuz of the deidcation in the wieght room. The squat max record at our high school is in the 600s. Records are being broken every year. So NO! I kid you not bro, we have freshmen that squat 500

[H3isl3g3nd]

you don't come into freshman year naturally squatting 500 man. i would believe 405 for a large freshman. our all state DE squated about 415 freshman year, and probly 550 in his senior year. and he's a freak of nature. he also benches right at 400. got freshman that do that too?

[Lancer5454]

wow omg region!!! i would be impressed if u said state...and yeah i still think ur full of shit...u do not have 10 fourteen year old kids that squat 500...

[Brandon26pdx]

His form kind of made me cringe, but definitely a strong kid.

[jay36719]

thats garbage i know people at my high school who squat over 500 lbs

[texaslineman96]

yeah no shit dumbass but hes a free safety im a defensive lineman and can rep 545 max 645

[244546321]

i know a rb that squats 500

[Alcoa2010]

I work out with a running back who Squats 555 and also starts CB so this seriously isnt that impressive

[LordMorningStar]

Uhh bad form - no go!

[youture1111111111111]

that was good form

[arnoldstwin36]

no wonder why tech sucks balls at football...baaahaa

[djones474747]

who cares...they will never beat grand valley

[pokop123]

kid at my highschool parallel squats 585...the right way

[adblue15]

Not even close... if you were playing where I play that wouldn't count one bit...

[watchthis22]

where do you play at?

[adblue15]

I go to Denison University in Granville OH, it's a D3 program and I play baseball there. Our strength coach as we are testing stands there and yells at us to get back until we are actually parallel and even if we are an inch away it doesn't count

[fturner92]

he should have gone lower, however, considering his narrow stance, this is a powerful lift. Good work

[natureboypkr]

Thanks for you insite you fucking internet form police.

[fturner92]

I said good work, but since you wanna be a bitch, eat a dick.

[watchthis22]

natureboypk-its called an opinion dumb fuck...everones got one so get used to it...

[bulldog9899]

I love how people mouth I squat this much blaw blaw blaw.Guys say I squat 600 lbs but they only do quater or half squat and not a full.

[natureboypkr]

agreed

[desembodic]

this was well above parallel just like every fucking squat that anyone does besides REAL weightlifters or olympic athletes. its a good thing machines were invented for idiots like every football player, or they would never get any decent leg strengt.

[watchthis22]

that was legit...

o yea and SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!

[Perfection325]

His hamstrings didn't even get parallel.........let alone the angle of his center leg.

[watchthis22]

yea your right....true dat...

[SpEeDoUt88]

495 is pretty good but its crazy how even this is an impressive squat and most football players squat 500lbs plus like julio jones squats 515 that shit is crazy freak athletes

[TyLeRrOsE09]

dude this is nothing...i mean yea its impressive 495 is a lot of weight but at my high school our record is 780. i squat 630 and im a rising junior this year. most people on our football team squat between 500 and 650. The dude that squated 78- is a D1 college recruit for fullback..too bad our team still sucks...0-10 last year haha

[NoiceVid]

LOL

[watchthis22]

yea but look at this kid...he prolly plays db or some shit...or maybe even kicker....

fullbacks are supposed to be one of the strongest people on the team do to them hitting linemen on some plays and moving the sticks...

[MyLegHair]

you people dissin this dude prolly cant squat worth shit yourselves. sure there people in high school doin more than this but this guy is a free safety and they aint the strongest. oline and dline thats where its at. big deal. and there aint nothin wrong with his technique

[JakabBigShow]

I squated 485 last year, my junior year in high school. This is college. the fact that 495 is a record at a college is a joke

[soccer7989]

Something tells me that you are full of shit.

[JakabBigShow]

something tells me u suck the cock,  i think its the grass faggot name of urs

[soccer7989]

Whether or not I suck cock has nothing to do with the fact that you probably couldn't perform a correct 485 lb squat with proper depth and form as a junior in high school. Provide some proof before you run your mouth, asshole.

[thatsagoodvid]

you understand this is a free safety squat record right?

[l0tten]

Thats no squat ^_-

[BigTallOx]

Horrible technique. Probably with some instruction on form and technique he could eventually do more weight. With the form he has, he's eventually going to get injured.

[mschiller1887]

pussy didnt get low enough i get bitched at all the time for havin 405 on the bar doin sets of 8 for not getting low enough id be a beast with those pussys

[afroballer33]

I bet all of u who say u squat hellaz are overweight, or don't go parrallel. Quit hatin on him

[RicardoElSalvi]

im 17 and i can squat 650 this kid is a joke

[xxxsmokey]

lmao i agree theres a senior that deep squats 465 x8 and ur in college and cal that a record... idk y every1 is cheering unless this kid is retarded

[bigdaddy357b]

im only 15 and i squat 365

[football91mike]

sorry but 10 people on my football team including me squat in the 400s and we are in high school

[zgates]

Everyone says that. Every high schooler and all his friends squat 455-500+ pounds. And then I see how they do it and it's such a pathetic "squat" I nearly start laughing.

[Guitarazn28]

i hope this is a highschool we have kids at our school that can do over 600

[ttomi5]

this is no paralell !

[kse2]

he's a big FS

[text68]

that's what im saying... once you get to college for athletics (which many of you don't, at least for d1) you will sky rocket, but if you are telling me your a jr in hs squatting nearly 800 lbs... i'm pretty sure you would be known nation wide for some sport or another and you should def lay off the roids

[azneserice]

no offense, but i see a lot of people posting that theyre in highschool and can squat a lot more. and fyi, it is. i may not be able to squat 495, but recent school records in my highschool, and all the other regional highschools have squat recors going into the 500-600's.

[eli6844]

well today i honestly squated 500, im 6'4 290 16yrs old. yes young, but i do got the size and the genetics. my father who at his prime was 6'3 280 or so could bench 500 and squated around 700 or so. he played d1 football and attended jets mini camp and made the team. he was then released.

[jpl315]

no1 cares

[slzfootball50]

wow thats college,im a junior in HS hitting 780+

[text68]

yea, your full of shit.. apparently you are stronger than vernon davis and chris pressley... faggot

[slzfootball50]

appearantly,you can come to san lorenzo high,no fuck it we can see me at 24hr fitness in Newark,Ca and 780 isnt even my max on spuqat im a strong as kid and your a little bitch replying to my comment get a life kido

[text68]

ok vernon davis... you're right, you can take my track scholarship at Wisconsin and shove it directly up your ass

[newumary54]

aight yah ur from Cal so there might be a lil bit of valididty to it but dude u got to realize there are pro football players not putting up those numbers but yah id have to see it to believe and if its true thats incredible...but u gotta realize to alotta ppl thats hella ridiculous man...but im from so cal and ive seen ppl put up 7 hundo on squat...hell im at 705 now but im a sophmore in College...

[cougpride3]

That's damn good for a free safety.

[haroldhardee]

Thats pretty good I was squatting 415 at 15 years old and weighed 185 pounds I'm not sure if thats good or not though

[Pete22222]

Strong bs. Put up a video of you hitting parallel or don't comment. If you even have to ask that question I already know you can't squat 415.

[LoosaFace]

haha aye etwade... yer cheerleaders must be big and ugly as fuck if they can squat 500+... haha dayuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[svendb7]

what up chase I see you there doing your thing

[CerebralHypertrophy]

This vid should not be titled parallel squat...a parallel squat is when the knee joint and hip joint are in the same horizontal plane.

[5ilv3rback]

i agree there coaches should have given him a up call or something

[Handyman414]

impressive, especially for how small he is

[jufrono]

theres a good squat, not like the others you see on youtube where they're doing like 700 pounds 3/4 down how much u need

[bo0thorp]

youtube is harsh, lol. But if you look up say Texas Tech their free safeties record is like 530 or so. I dont care what anyone says 500 is a lot of weight.

[randomperson331]

wait you guys thought i was really being serious about squatting 700 lbs, im just kidding, the comment was intended to mock people on youtube who make fun of other people and call them weak, when in reality they probably cant match what other people can lift

[etwade]

At our highschool even the cheerleaders all squat 500+. This is pathetic.

[randomperson331]

I squat 700 and only weigh 140, and its not even hard for me, imagine that

[84cm84]

wow very impressive, got a video to show it? A 700 squat at 140 is damn good, but this I want to see

[Lex4422]

my ass u can squat that much...prove it and i'll shut up

[castellanos888]

hahaha our safety in highschool can squat 450

this is pathetic michigan tech

[spartan4745]

lol our safety can do the same. lol this isnt much of a football program if this is a record.

[44848444]

do paralell squats improve vertical jump

[1bagger35]

Not directly, you've got to do explosive lifts to improve vertical. Like cleans, jerks, and/or snatch. There're other alternatives as well.

[BufFan71]

my high school team Fullback (junior) can squat 525

[furgb28]

that is pretty sad, our high school record is 645

[itbeshowinlikeamotha]

I'm pretty sure its the "safety" record.

[furgb28]

true thats our linebacker record. safety records still 525 tho

[itbeshowinlikeamotha]

645 seems like a lot, is it college?

[castellanos88]

wow theres like 10 people at my highschool that can do more than 500 including me

[sausagefingazXL]

thats cool im a sophmore and i can do over 500. you must be pretty cool.

[footballfeva68]

i squatted that in high school...thats pretty sad michigan tech

[scondore]

shut up.

[Vunks2000]

It seems like everyone on the internet can do a 500lb squat

[BSmits7]

hahaha

[Vunks2000]

I should also add that its ass to grass with a 5 second pause.

[itbeshowinlikeamotha]

rofl, everyone on the internet can duh.

Naw, i can't even squat 200.

[IamAtree000001]

hmm makes me feel better about my small highschool we have like 6 ppl in our highschool that do over 500 on squat

[jmac1971002]

Well, that is a free safety...one of the smaller guys on the team. But still, he had bad form.

[PetrucciFan57]

That was a half squat with atrocious technique...all the weight was on his quads, not his hips, because his stance is so narrow.

Good way to wear out your knees early on in your career.

[text68]

not a full squat and not impressive... if you wanna win any games (which michigan tech doesnt) you should probably hit the weights a little more

[jmac1971002]

It was almost a full squat, but not quite. Who is Michigan tech, anyway? I have never heard of them.

[7650nokia]

nice!

[235RB]

WTF!!!

[augdog18]

badass
