A Pure Olympic Squat

[neoi78]

GREAT LIFT. but thats not an olympic squat. thats, like everyone has said, a powerlifting squat. HERE is an olympic squat =watch?v=Iy7ySniQAR8&feature=r­elated

[ironnickel]

@neoi78 See my latest squat at g5wHObyYeu8

[yasinpatel12345]

parallel squat good by powerlifting standards..

good job! maybe take 20-40kg off that and u coulda done a real oly squat

[ironnickel]

@yasinpatel12345 Judging from your videos, you are obviously a youtube expert.

[neoi78]

@ironnickel I agree with him that it's not an OLY squat... its a powerlifting stance. GREAT squat though, man! Slow on decent.. perfect depth.

[thanya120]

@ironnickel does it matter about how many videos he is right you have to go more deeper for it be an olympic squat, that is a powerlifiting squat

[mycenean]

Whoever told you that was an olympic squat needs their IOC certificate revoked because without doubt that is not an olympic squat;

-Your bar position is to low

-which forces you to lean forward during descent and ascent

-which in turn prevents you from squatting deeper.

-you are breaking at the hips

- then pushing your hips back

- use your hips and back to drive up

it's pretty much an IFP powerlifter squat.

Sorry man, don't mean to be a dick because it's a good lift, just being honest

[ironnickel]

@mycenean Thank you for your observations. However it is an IOC level 5 Pure Olympic Squat certified by David Rigert himself.

[mycenean]

@ironnickel irrespective of our differing opinions on the squat you seem like a good guy, best of luck

[neoi78]

@ironnickel He is right, too. ;/

[captainjosue]

Man, that was low. These squats are f@#ken hard.

[ironnickel]

@captainjosue Indeed, I have very low standards.

[captainjosue]

@ironnickel Low standards. That's hilarious.

[angryman1007]

@ironnickel wasn't that low jesus.... also do it high bar to squat like a real olympian

[ironnickel]

@angryman1007 I am a real Olympian.

[angryman1007]

@ironnickel well i hope your as old as you look cause that was shit

[ironnickel]

@angryman1007 I'm 14

[jwkm55]

This isn't an olympic squat...

[ironnickel]

@jwkm55 Its A Pure Olympic Squat, certified by the IOC.

[jwkm55]

@ironnickel Whatever that means... An olympic squat is high bar placement, narrow stance, and full ROM (aka ATG) none of which you perform. And certainly not out of a custom made monolift.

[ironnickel]

@jwkm55 You are obviously not a certified IOC certifier.

[jimilonianarism]

how do you figure that

[ironnickel]

@jimilonianarism At least you don't deny it and accept your unfortunate condition.

[jimilonianarism]

why because i can never man up to your manly manlyness. oh noooooo

[ironnickel]

@jimilonianarism At least man enough to recognise your poorly condition.

[jimilonianarism]

haha

[ironnickel]

@jimilonianarism You should be crying.

[jimilonianarism]

he makes a good point

[ironnickel]

@jimilonianarism Yes, you can tell from his videos that he is an experienced lifter, just like you.

[budweiser505]

lmao

[trance4mation]

may i also add, olympic back squats are done without a monolift

[ironnickel]

Yes, I am very advanced.

[trance4mation]

olympic squats are done faster

[ironnickel]

Those would be impure Olympic squats.

[1134BlackLabel]

Olympic squats are generally done without a belt, and a high bar position.

[ironnickel]

Yes but a leather belt and elastic knee wraps are more manly.
