@Puzzle303 maybe your a retard who likes damaging his bones? you have to gradually adjust to dense pressure on your bones. Silly people without no science behind the technique,
@azzzz9375 when you're squatting 475 for reps i think it's safe to say you've adapted to the pressure of the bar. and there really isn't ANY science behind wearing a pad on the bar. i think you'd struggle to find a single VALID study.
@Sim86 Real simple my friend. Haters are always gonna hate! Haters always have to pick apart something even if it's perfect, why? Because they are insecure little faggots!
@pvsg1990 Got that from the hodge twins, right? lol...
High reps builds up muscle, low reps builds up strength... you need strength so you can lift heavy with high reps.... so switch it up in between work outs....
@FedArteUrbano i got it from beyond brawn. And i have been trying for about 2 months now. And it seems like my body can't handle it any more. I am stuck at 170 pounds and i always fail at about 14 reps. I guess i will have to switch to low reps with heavier weight.
@pvsg1990 dude you're probably a little overtrained. After 6-8 weeks of hard training your body needs some extra rest time to recover. My humble advice would be to rest a full week, then go about 20 lbs lower than your max and increase 5 lbs every workout and you'll probably get past that plateau pretty easily. And yes, I'd suggest 10-15 reps instead of 20 until you build up more strength IMHO
Dude dont go that low. Your legs will be sore for a week everytime. Not only it will take 5 min to sit your ass on the toilet to drop a deuce, people will start thinking you've been having butt sex
Great squat, notice how he goes into the squat like he's sitting back. His upper body remains upright the entire time (sign of a strong posterior chain, and excellent obliques). By keep his upper body straight, he can direct all of the weight directly over his heels, allowing for the power transfer from his legs to go directly through his squat, simple mechanics. This is a great video to show beginners looking for tips.
Thats literally incredible!! I wish i could squat like that. The best squatting I have ever seen, and i'm willing to put money on never seeing squatting as good as that ever again!! So Jealous haha
Awesome work from Wayne! he had to walk all the way out the rack with the weight (and back in again) no spotters and ass to the ground no pussy whipped, half assed squats here! Wayne, if you haven't already done so give Powerlifting a go!
i love how he only does the reps that he is able to explode through. no point of forcing out slow reps on a power exercise. speed is the key! a slow contraction is the last place you want to be when training for power.
To all those who are whining about form - shut the fuck up and go back to doing your douche-bag isolated, overhead, one-arm, cable extensions on some faggy nautilus machine. Leave the real lifting to the real men who know that real muscle comes from squats, benches, deadlifts, bent over rows, cleans, pull-ups, dips and more SQUATTING. Leave the lifting to the guys who do what it takes to make it fuckin hurt.
@AChildOfBodom667 Lol at Child of Bodom the Lake going nuts here, if you think squatting is supposed to be painful you're a fucking dramaqueen, I bet you wear black eyeshadow to the gym.
@chvyant Black? I was always more partial to blue eyeshadow at the gym. Brings out my eyes while I stare at my 8-pack and gently go through a full-range of motion, ensuring that bicep is fully contracted at the peak of the movement, hold for a 2 count, then lower it back down. Then I look at the guy squatting two times his body weight and wonder why anyone would train legs? The chicks only see your arms bro!
@AChildOfBodom667 I started lifting two months ago. I decided to make majority of my exercises to be compound movements (squats, Romanian deadlifts, military presses (in front and behind the neck), flat and incline bench, bent-over barbell rows, lat pulldowns, upright barbell rows, pullups...). I made myself a goal not to neglect legs. When I started, I squatted 30kg for 8 reps, and now after 2 months I'm squatting 62 kg for 15 reps. In your opinion, is that good progress? I weight 75 kg. Thx...
@smoothMousePad When you're lifting you're own bodyweight - you're making progress, thats the first big goal. Then you want to start aiming higher - I'd say just keep working and forget about anyone else and what they do or how they look.
@dinamiaesthetics Okay, I do that, but how come I can't go lower? I go lower though ever since I've been practicing good form, but I wanna' hit the calves like this guy. What do I need to do? I'm a tall guy by the way.
@lorddarunia It requires flexibility (which comes from squatting regularly and stretching) and also you will note the high bar position allows his back to remain upright while keeping the centre of mass over the centre of his feet. If you are doing a low bar position squat you will lean forward a bit, you should still be able to hit parallel. A more upright back (which can also be achieved with front squats) allows you to go deeper without back rounding. I'm no pro though so I might be mistaken.
@lorddarunia --That form is sick good, huh. He is able to maintain a vertical back because he knees are moving forward. That is just some solid ass form.
@lorddarunia A part probably is anatomy, BUT you could use weightlifting shoes. They have a really high heel, which all weightlifters use to squat high bar ATG with an upright back. This way anybody can squat like this, only things like foot stance and stuff might be different.
@lorddarunia Strong Ab's and high bar style (Olympic style) helps to go up and down straight. I too have the problem you have I just have to work on it you will get there don't give up!
@mikesbbody Strong abs? You mean strong core. The strong core only prevents your torso from collapsing at the bottom of the squat. Ankle mobility is actually the reason
@JordanSpecops123 yeah, you know what I mean :-) a strong core is vital and was always my problem. With a Heavy weight I would often come up out of the squat "bent over" hardly ideal form! everyone has abs but most people have fat covering them. We had a lifter who could squat about 700 pounds he had a big gut but it was solid like a wrecking ball seriously! LOL.
@lorddarunia Ankle mobility ankle mobility ankle mobility. Dont believe me. Put an inch plates under your heels then squat. Are you more upright? Work on ankle mobility
@lorddarunia Knees shooting out in front is only bad if you already have really bad knees. Take a look at olympic weightlifters when they squat. Their knees pass their toes. Plus they wear shoes with heels.
@JordanSpecops123 I've seen people do that I'm a little scared to try it for fear of falling forward! I see there are special squatting shoes (I've never had them) others swear by Chuck Taylor's.
@mikesbbody Start of basic bodyweight squatting and goblet squatting. Then move to front squats and then back squats like this. Chucks other than weightlifting shoes are the best for squatting as they dont roll and have a hard heel
@JordanSpecops123 Thanks! I have never tried Goblet squats or front Squats only Low Bar style from my Powerlifting days. I'm trying Olympic style squats now with the idea that I'll come up straighter (lighter weight higher reps (8) as opposed to heavier weights Low Bar style for 5 reps. BTW, I tried for fun to get into some of my old lifting suits Tonight wow! pretty tight!...I've sure put on a few pounds LOL! looks like it will be just the belt for me! Thanks for the tips!
@lorddarunia Take a good look at his butt as he squats... it goes back a lot, and that's the secret to successful squatting. It's all about hip drive. I think that if you practice this you will make yourself some powerful glutes and quads.
@lorddarunia It's been 2 months so somebody has most likely commented, but, it's mainly due to bio-mechanical differences and flexibility. We are all different be it limb lengths, muscle lengths etc.. If I go past parallel my lower back starts to round so as long as I hit parallel I consider it a good squat. BTW no matter your bio-mechanical makeup there is NO excuse for quarter squats!
@lorddarunia It might be a function of your anthropometry, but more likely, it's that you're taking a super low bar position on your back. Try resting it more towards your neck and you will see a more vertical torso.
@lorddarunia hey man I used to have the same problem! you need to work on your hamstring and hip flexor flexibility....your back is leaning forward because you need to become more flexible in those areas....I would recommend stretching targeting your hamstrings and hip flexors....Also you can look up at the ceiling when your standing up and that will help ensure your back stays straight...
Awesome vid. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
So basically you just go down like a woman go down in bed.. I don't understand why people always say use proper form.. If a woman can go down on me then definitely I can go down using weights..
@yuppyguitar1 I'm referring to the clanking of plates loaded onto a barbell, and my barbell begins to bend, even though it is very small at a little over 400. I don't see that bend here or the normal accompanying noise.
@Kreimehn Looks like he's using rubber coated plates. Mine don't clank. My barbell doesn't bend either. I don't squat 475, but you can find numerous examples youtube of people using that weight and the barbell neither bands nor do the plates clank.
@yuppyguitar1 If you have 400 plus on your back, you will feel the bar bend on the way up, and the bar will flap a bit at the completion of the movement. I don't see it here, but this probably a newer bar and the plates may be rubber coated. Still, the load does not behave the way i know a heavy load should, but whatever.....
@Kreimehn I've squated 395 and never felt the bar bend, but the bar is clearly flapping at the top of his reps in this video.
So whats your conclusion? This guy who is quite built and who looks like he could easily handle that kind of weight but doesn't have the exact same bar as you is just pretending to get some cred from people he doesn't know on youtube?
@yuppyguitar1 If you ever squatted 400 +, the bar bends even if it is new. The fact that you had no idea that the bar bends is proof that you never did 400 + because you would have noticed.
I am making a claim. I noticed that the load does not have the physical dynamics of a heavy load. It looks strange to me, and quite fake. I wanted to see if anyone had noticed the same thing. I have no opinions or comments about the man in the video.
@Kreimehn But your claim was wrong, because as I already mentioned, the bar very clearly bends at the top of his reps. Maybe you need to go back and watch it again.
@yuppyguitar1 Ok, i at least see the flap at the top of the movement, and the plates look rubber-coated. Now i am pissed because he is training with better equipment than i have. What a coincidence that i am about to squat right now.
I'm a little confused. I keep hearing how squats increase your vertical leap, but for me it seems like it's actually decreasing what my plyometrics have done for me. Any pointers?
@jmk0309 Keep squatting but make sure you dont slack on your cardio and other training and dont gain too much weight. as long as you keep getting pound for pound stronger you will be fine. I am a long jumper in college and i squat 425lbs for max below paralel
@jmk0309 There is an inverse relationship between absolute and explosive strength. How is your max squat lately? On the increase? This may be why, or you could be over-trained and out of the zone, and perhaps this is the reason that everything is suffering.
wtf is with the knee wraps? seriously, mine as well put a spring under your ass as dorian yates once said,
dont understand squatters and there crutches, just take some more patience and time to get there with out all the aids, your only fooling yourself really
@beast36001 Yeah i cant stand crutches either. I squat and dead raw, and maybe add a belt, not so tight, in case of an accidental shift. Form over weight, and the weight will come.
great squatting man...forms pretty damn close to being perfect haha but i feel bad u have to walk the weight out soo far b4 u actually squat, it makes it that much harder
i dont understand whenever i am squating and i go deep people start telling me that going deep will injure knees and cause back problems , flippin hell thi scares me for no reason !. Anyway well done !.
That's pretty sweet man, especially for a dude with a smaller build, no disrespect. and very clean form, that's actually better than some of the shitty instructional video's on here. I squat with flat soled shoes, for more balance and stability, it also helps to keep more of the weight on your heels, you should try it, it will make a big difference. keep squattin heavy man!
@frolfhaus21 look at krocs video where he squats 500 pounds 10 times. He tears his quad and still drops the weight. What is stopping him from dropping the weight here, he isn't doing 1 rep maxes.
@xNewAgeWarriorx yea i know that one and im not sure if that would pass in a meeting , i know less bout squats than dead and bench but i never seen some1 that bounce so badly (alltho i know unlike the bench press u dont have to pause at the bottom) but thats strong regardless lol
does going down so low have a negative effect on your joints? It just seems like it would. I'm asking out of cuiousity, not as an argument. I would think that long term effects would occur.
@ChadAndrewsLovesGod your hamstrings catch the weight when you go deep, not your knees. stopping halfway transfers all the pressure to your knees. therefore, deep squats are actually healthier for your knees, provided you are flexible enough to assume the position
I have literally never seen squats better than this, if anything form is more impressive than weight for me....but this happens to have great weight too lol
Great lifts! Excellent depth and form! No matter what haters on here want to say that is a LOT of weight to lift with such good form, All around strong dude, would be interested to know how heavy he is as he doesn't look much over 200lb which makes the lifts even more impressive.
What kind of gym plays Alice in Chains? I've gotta join this gym.

The barbell doesn't bend or make the noise that such a heavy weight would.
Kreimehn 6 months ago
@Kreimehn The barbell doesn't make sounds. The barbell doesn't bend under only 475lbs.
yuppyguitar1 5 months ago
@yuppyguitar1 I'm referring to the clanking of plates loaded onto a barbell, and my barbell begins to bend, even though it is very small at a little over 400. I don't see that bend here or the normal accompanying noise.
Kreimehn 5 months ago
@Kreimehn Looks like he's using rubber coated plates. Mine don't clank. My barbell doesn't bend either. I don't squat 475, but you can find numerous examples youtube of people using that weight and the barbell neither bands nor do the plates clank.
yuppyguitar1 5 months ago
@yuppyguitar1 If you have 400 plus on your back, you will feel the bar bend on the way up, and the bar will flap a bit at the completion of the movement. I don't see it here, but this probably a newer bar and the plates may be rubber coated. Still, the load does not behave the way i know a heavy load should, but whatever.....
Kreimehn 5 months ago
@Kreimehn I've squated 395 and never felt the bar bend, but the bar is clearly flapping at the top of his reps in this video.
So whats your conclusion? This guy who is quite built and who looks like he could easily handle that kind of weight but doesn't have the exact same bar as you is just pretending to get some cred from people he doesn't know on youtube?
yuppyguitar1 5 months ago
@yuppyguitar1 If you ever squatted 400 +, the bar bends even if it is new. The fact that you had no idea that the bar bends is proof that you never did 400 + because you would have noticed.
I am making a claim. I noticed that the load does not have the physical dynamics of a heavy load. It looks strange to me, and quite fake. I wanted to see if anyone had noticed the same thing. I have no opinions or comments about the man in the video.
Kreimehn 5 months ago
@Kreimehn But your claim was wrong, because as I already mentioned, the bar very clearly bends at the top of his reps. Maybe you need to go back and watch it again.
yuppyguitar1 5 months ago
@yuppyguitar1 Ok, i at least see the flap at the top of the movement, and the plates look rubber-coated. Now i am pissed because he is training with better equipment than i have. What a coincidence that i am about to squat right now.
Kreimehn 5 months ago
I'm a little confused. I keep hearing how squats increase your vertical leap, but for me it seems like it's actually decreasing what my plyometrics have done for me. Any pointers?
jmk0309 6 months ago
@jmk0309 Keep squatting but make sure you dont slack on your cardio and other training and dont gain too much weight. as long as you keep getting pound for pound stronger you will be fine. I am a long jumper in college and i squat 425lbs for max below paralel
PowerSprinter 6 months ago
@jmk0309 There is an inverse relationship between absolute and explosive strength. How is your max squat lately? On the increase? This may be why, or you could be over-trained and out of the zone, and perhaps this is the reason that everything is suffering.

w1cked001 7 months ago
That's pretty sweet man, especially for a dude with a smaller build, no disrespect. and very clean form, that's actually better than some of the shitty instructional video's on here. I squat with flat soled shoes, for more balance and stability, it also helps to keep more of the weight on your heels, you should try it, it will make a big difference. keep squattin heavy man!

@xNewAgeWarriorx I'm not saying that I can do better, but it's not THAT ridiculous amount of weight. A rack would suffice.

frolfhaus21 7 months ago
@frolfhaus21 look at krocs video where he squats 500 pounds 10 times. He tears his quad and still drops the weight. What is stopping him from dropping the weight here, he isn't doing 1 rep maxes.

does going down so low have a negative effect on your joints? It just seems like it would. I'm asking out of cuiousity, not as an argument. I would think that long term effects would occur.

If you have the flexibility and have healthy knees to begin with, your knees gonna love deep squats.
Apjooz 8 months ago 10
@ChadAndrewsLovesGod your hamstrings catch the weight when you go deep, not your knees. stopping halfway transfers all the pressure to your knees. therefore, deep squats are actually healthier for your knees, provided you are flexible enough to assume the position

Great lifts! Excellent depth and form! No matter what haters on here want to say that is a LOT of weight to lift with such good form, All around strong dude, would be interested to know how heavy he is as he doesn't look much over 200lb which makes the lifts even more impressive.
