The best view yet of Chuck's 2nd squat at the August Pro-Am... Looked good to me, but supposedly got called on a missed rack call...(?)

Two things wrong here straight away, knees aren't locked and depth is no good.

[ElPorteroBestia]

You're an idiot.

A) He wouldn't have got the squat command if his knees aren't locked out, nor would he have gotten the rack call.

B) His handler got a tap from Bob Youngs on the side when he reached depth, so that's an automatic 2 white lights.

Know your shit before you say dumb shit.

[scrapper275]

I know my shit boy, you should know who you are talking to before you pop your punk mouth off

[ElPorteroBestia]

I fucking know exactly who I'm talking to- a world champion from the IPF.

I know that you guys think everything that is done in multi-ply is like the fucking work of the devil, but give credit where credit is due- Chuck Vogelpohl is the greatest squatter this world will ever see... So I doubt after all the world records he's held and won that he is going to fault on something that dumb.

Don't be so naive.

First off, let me start by saying good luck to you with your lifting and if you knew who you were talking to your reply would not have started with name calling. Opinions vary little brother get used to it. I know chuck he is a good lifter in his fed. But there is a difference between that lifting and USAPL and IPF lifting and what I was talking about in the vid is easy to see. Now, in this fed that may be legal, but if I were in that judges chair, I promise you that would be red lights.

[ElPorteroBestia]

I apologize for saying that, I know you're a world champ as well but even you know he's a better lifter than that.

That's precisely what I'm saying. Obviously everything in the IPF is taken to the utmost extreme, and everything in multi-ply feds to the bare minimum. We all know you would have given him red lights in your chair- how many times has this shit been thrown around between feds?

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." We're in the IPA- squat to depth and come up. That's all I'm saying.

@800juice It shouldn't matter what fed you are loyal too. A squat is a squat..and so on. I lifted in several feds douring the 80's and 90's, and had to generally perform the lifts to the same. English is a universal language. It may not be everyone's native language, but most humans believe it comes in handy when they travel. If you multi ply guys want the world to accept what you do, don't change previously established standards just for ego! I

I know I'm going to get crucified for sayin this, but...since I have been on "both sides" of this issue: There's one way to solve this inter-federation bullshit bickering. Let's go back to the day before 200+lbs carryover from bench shirts and whatever the avg squat suit affiords came into being. that way...we can see what the "PERSON" can do and, the weights won't quite be so "high" now will they (rhetorical). Should make judging that much easier? Sounds like a dmaned bodybuilder forum here

[brandixie]

Everyone who talks shit about multi-ply, GO PUT IT ON AND COMPETE, DO NOT TALK SHIT UNTIL YOU PUT THE SAME SHIT ON AND GO THROUGH A MEET, when you have done that and smashed multi-ply records then talk shit, If multi-ply is so easy then go fucking do it thats all im saying, Let the numbers do the talking not your mouth, im sick of hearing all you fucks put down us lifters who use multi-ply gear, fuck off

[goose700]

No doubt Chuck is strong and one of the best of all time, but it does look like his knees were not locked, but with his very wide stance and wraps its hard to tell. Also was there a squat command given? No sound on the vid, I saw the rack command given with the judge moving his arm, but no downward movement.

[TheKingClem]

no beanie????

[NiTr091]

greatest squatter my ass..

take the fucking suit and belt off

go deep and we'll talk.

[Neilius27]

Look how he's knees are wobbling! What Chuck is lifting is a recipe for injury..This man has taken his body to the limits,injury is next,I am sure he's had tons of injuries in his career,but has most likely been lucky in avoiding major injury..Very unsafe! The equipment is allowing him to handle more weight than he should..Strong as an ox though..No disrespect to one of the greatest..

Detecting perfect, legal squat depths for any / all federations has now become a science at w w w squatprecision (dot) com - or simply do a u tube search for Squat Precision

[SeanHatley]

Let me guess. Your also gonna say your life time drug free too.
