Squat 700x1 @9 5

This was a very strong lift -- and plus 15 pounds over the last week. I cut it a bit high, so I need to watch that and really bury it next time. I wasn't feeling great during this workout.

I admire your strength, however I have one question (and this is no disrespect): Your goal is to lift maximum weights at competitions with IPF rules? Do you find that squatting a tad high raw is more benefical to equipment 1RM strength, than going deeper with less weight on the raw sessions? I've seen a few very strong IPF lifters, that very often are too high on their squats in training, but still post big results at the meets. I would be happy to recieve a answer to my genuine question. Per

I'm training for Raw Unity right now and this is geared toward that contest. Cutting it high is unintentional.

It wasn't a critique of your lifting, it was more of a curiosity from my side, as I see many strong drugfree lifters cut their squats high in training, and I wondered if there was a philosophy behind it. I take it that you don't think it is important or necessary to get to "legal" depth on every rep in training. I must compliment you on your strength too, you are insanly strong!

I know. I would be curious, too! :)

I don't intentionally cut them high. I try to squat deep enough, but for whatever reason, about half of them end up a bit high. It is important to squat to depth, but missing depth won't be catastrophic for my training either. During the next session, I'll try to get these a little lower.

The reason my curiosity was triggered is that most of the videos I have seen on your channel is a tad high (I admit I haven't seen all of them), yet I know you are a top notch lifter with great results in official competitions, and you also have great strength all over, as I also know you are very knowledgeable, I somehow wondered if this was put into a system somehow, but I get your point now. Keep on doing what you do, you are a great inspiration. All the best!

very impressive, what federation do you compete in and what weight class?

[Lawlipop12]

well if you ever had any depth trouble you definitely fixed it, i'm amazed.

A 700 lbs squat, over 800 lbs deadlift and 500lbs bench thats a 2000 pounds total right there. Good job.
