Hey, I didn't get it

This boy is 6'6"

Or

6' 0.6" ?

I mean, is he 198cms, or 183 cms tall?

[joedefranco]

He's 6feet, 6inches. 198cms.

[bradehringer]

weak!

This is the 3rd time this kid ever box-squatted.

BTW, he would dunk on you and make you look like a fool.

actually....the dynamics of taller people squating makes it more difficult.....

so comparing weights of someone who is shorter to someone who is taller shouldn't be done.

most people who squat over 1,000lbs are not 6'6"+ I am willing to bet no one is over 6'3"

[NoobsSuckx7]

im 15 , 6 ft and the most ive squated so far is 255 lb's

but im sure i can do alot more

[ChayenBros]

aren't you supposed to box squat a lot more that u normally squat?

just saying......

Squats really are a lot harder for tall guys. Today I talked with an olympic lifter at the gym. He said he has never seen such tall guy squat so deep. (194cm) I try to go ATG but apparently the reason the reason tall people don't go ass to grass is because they get the ass wink at the bottom which kills lumbar spine sooner or later. I have this problem too.

I've got some serious hamstring stretching to do...

I've always been wondering why tall people have a hard time doing squats...now i know. now I'm kinda glad I'm 5'8".

[beats1n1shit]

[ISG187]

[gold194]

i know someone who is 5'6 175 lbs who can squat 643lbs so...

[TWKILLJOY]

WORD. I'm 6'5 and I ABSOLUTELY DREAD doing squats at football practice. But, they do help so I live with them.

It does require more muscular strength for a taller person to move the same weight. The leverage is not as great due to the femur being longer, and the weight must also be moved a greater distance. That being said, tall people, with enough work, can squat great weights.
