Westside Barbell Squats and Deads Oct. 2010

[SteezBow]

how much is the chick squatin?

[brayden12345]

I can't believe all the disrespect in these comments. I'm embarrased for my fellow youtubers.

[hitbombsglenny]

is a thirteen year old that deads 365 good?

[haggiss]

@hitbombsglenny no

[MetalDiffa]

Why are you having such a wide stance?

[Michel0555]

@MetalDiffa Called sumo squat

[Michel0555]

@MetalDiffa it requires less flexibility

[jacquelinelacan]

Wow I not only have to praise you for the weights used in training but also for the MINDSET. It takes character to get in yo WSB. I couldnt do it. I wouldnt do it.

[24Devilbaseball]

that is one strongggg lesbian

[chrysillo]

@24Devilbaseball roided as fuck too lol

[Bishiup]

who gives a fuck if they are suited? that girl is pretty much going parallel with over 700 pounds in a suit im sure she can handle half of that easily without any of that and that for a female is phenomenal...

[Thor9c4]

how many of you who criticize geared powerlifting actually have ever trained for a meet in gear?

i love raw lifting, many of my goals are raw numbers, but geared lifting is much harder.

Train for a meet in gear, and when your eyes pop out of your head then you can comment on how these lifters cheat

[stUMPHERVILLE]

Why did you leave Westside, Brandon? 

[KR0N0SXx]

These guys are all strong and this is impressive in its own way. I personally don't like powerlifting unless its raw. But, I guess I'm a little biased being an Olympic style weightlifter.

[morrieswigs]

I feel like doing squats now

[TheWavy87]

LOL @ all of the arm chair experts. Half of you couldn't squat 50 pounds after drinking a red bull.

[sgtavina]

I have to say WESTSIDE is the greatest gym because it has the best lifters (too many to name) and the best teacher Mr. Louie Simmons. Hands down the best in the biz.

[deadliftman]

@brandonlilly3 why you keep your legs in that angle and not use the original squat angle(legs a bit wider than shoulders)

[Lebron23KING23James]

this shit is wack go aII the way down and narrower stance wats up with the way these powerIifters train posterior chain thats shit chain man hardIy going down and they reIy on there suits and beIts i never get impressed when some fat power Iifter Iifts over 1000 pounds with a sumo stance 2 inch rom and with suits and beIts and nother shit

[B3nkeii]

lmao, look at the woman, how deeps she's not going, like 2 inches?

[ridehonda107]

I really love reading these people's comments condemning y'alls lifting and training methods. until I can lift more than what i'm seeing in this video (which will likely be never), i'll accept that all of you know exactly what you are doing

[ddockter3]

The USAPL is the only legit organization anymore.

[natekid4]

its amazing how much you can squat when you wear so much gear and squat halfway down. Bill Kazmeir is right this needs to stop

[brandonlilly3]

@natekid4 You are exactly right. The gear lifts every single pound for us. Im really ashamed that I have been a part of this craziness for so long.

[ZiItoid]

@brandonlilly3 Powerlifters lack all explosiveness IMO, its all about the gear, moving it for the lights, slow ascendance and descendant, and the form that gives you the shortest range of motion, plus powerlifters are mostly fat fucks, which is never justifiable imo. Oh and more gear and also that kind of gear.

[trfitness89]

@natekid4 those people you mock are probably "normal squatting" x 2 what you do.

[natekid4]

@trfitness89 This simply isnt true. Scott Yard is a 1000lb squatter with this style and after converting to raw and full depth he is squatting in the 600s.

[IceVikingDeathGrip]

LOL, What's amazing is the idiotic things a person says based on what he heard on tv. Of course, you failed to mention all the "amazing" lifts your "hero" got away with due to the wonderful "supplementation" he partook in. You wouldn't know a legitimate squat from your own legitimacy. STFU, get off your ass and go down to Louie's and show them proper depth you inbred hillbilly.

[Michel0555]

@natekid4 Raw squat Balls to the heels baby yeah!

[SjSharks0099]

Is that offset squat bar to simulate a front squat?

[secutorclaudius]

what's up with all the super wide stances? that chick (i think?) was almost doing the splits while squatting.

[SmexyPC]

@secutorclaudius the SUPER wide stances are good for geared lifting which is what they are all doing because it utlizes the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back (posterior chain), and quadraceps where a close stance will utilize only the glutes and quadraceps which wont help you lift as much as doing a wide stance. plus, these guys are lifting in squat briefs/suits so a super wide stance is easier to do with them. fyi, you cant squat as wide RAW as you would in a geared lift.

[secutorclaudius]

@SmexyPC ah, ok, i know nothing about gear. tried wid(er) squats, but it seems i can't go very low in that position.

[SmexyPC]

@secutorclaudius could be sinve yer not used to it and lack of flexibility.also, when squatting wide stance, you need to "sit back" in your squat. mabe thats why you cant go very low beause you didnt sit back. i squat with a wide stance RAW and i can hit deep squats (hips below knees)

[secutorclaudius]

@SmexyPC this is giving me bad bruises on my back/shoulders, right where the shoulderblade is. should i hold it even lower? cause this feels uncomfortable enough, like it's gonna slip off. thanx!

[SmexyPC]

@secutorclaudius im guessing you're talking about bar position and im assuming you're using the low bar position right? when i first used the low bar position from a high bar, yeah, it was really awkward like i felt as if it was gunna fall off. But it doesnt, unless you have oil on your back LOL... keeping your upper back tight will also help support it. remmeber, a low bar position is when the bar is BEHIND THE REAR DELTS. if yer getting bruises, yer not doin them right at all.

[secutorclaudius]

@SmexyPC so the bar should be BELOW those bones back there? man, that's pretty low. it will take more practice with lower weight then. thanx.

[SmexyPC]

@secutorclaudius well man if only i could show u in real life hahahaha but like heres what u can do, watch ed coan, how he sets up before he does a squat. if u dont know who he is, he is a legendary powerlifter. he sorta like puts the barbell like on top of his traps and then he "slides it down" his rear delts. yer gunna have to watch any of ed coan's squat videos to see it. when he "slides it down" it stops when it touches the "shelf" and that shelf is behind the rear delts which is da low bar

[SmexyPC]

[bobdylan4evr]

powerliftin seems like a sport where yiu put so much effort into it and get nothing out of it

[PilotPicker]

What do these guys do on a typical night out at the bars??

[headzrollin]

i just tore my acl playing rugby and had surgery 3 weeks ago... ever since i saw "bigger, stronger, faster" it has been a literal dream of mine to train at westside... you guys are a huge part of my recovery.. plus wanting to play rugby again.. you guys are a great inspiration to me i wish i could get a lifting program from you untill the day im in there becoming the best i can be with yall.. good luck everybody there ill see you one day

[34steelers36]

What a joke

[mordulencia]

Да, до параллели даже Лора не досела(((

[ArentWeSpecial]

What's the deal with the foam pad on the box squats?

[brandonlilly3]

@ArentWeSpecial The foam allows you to keep sinking into it rather than being a solid stopping point so you have to explode harder to get out of the hole.

[ericinghammontevista]

@brandonlilly3 thats what she said

[iandealer00]

Laura.... needs to get down lower!!! My god its worse than a quarter squat. Why has it become ok to squat above parallel, and have that count as a legit squat?? Utterly ridiculous, sorry :-/

[brandonlilly3]

@iandealer00 The method she is using is a chain squat method. She squatted to the chains which are set at 2 inches high intentionally to allow the body to squat all 3 reps near depth (2 inches), and you pause briefly on the chains which kills momentum. So as far as being ridiculous it may look that way, but this was done with absolute purpose.

[spidanez]

@iandealer00 yeah because you are way better than her. ive heard and seen your name in more magazine articles than her too.... not to be offensive, but i do think she knows a bit.

[EmotionalShredd]

@iandealer00 in westside you never do the competition way during training. she doesnt go far down, because it is one of several training methods in westside. that way she can put on more weight as usual and also train the lockout

[BigJavs]

2pac + rob zombie + westside = me pumped up to go train.

[alideutscher]

very nice man
