Whether he got 3 whites isn’t really the issue. I’ve seen a raw squat of his from the side where he didn’t come close to depth, but got 3 whites. That’s because it was a football meet at his school (which he freely admitted). So the question is, was this another school meet, and did they place the camera in that spot for a reason?
I don’t really care, though. He’s obviously strong, and I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to get him a few inches lower if need be.[/quote]

Meh, not knocking him. He’s beastly strong, much more so than I’ll ever be.

Saying shit like this is the reason you will never be that strong. I don’t believe in aiming for anything less than being the best the world has ever seen.
At any rate, a very strong 15 year old. People who start early and get good strength early are the ones to fear if they stick to it. If he doesn’t stick to it… well… I guess he will have type 2 diabetes instead of an 800lb squat.

Thanks for illustrating this point

Attitude is everything, why put yourself down already?
LOL. Hey fellas, thanks for the arm-chair therapizing. Trust me, I’ll be fine setting my own goals and reaching them. But I’d say I need to regain the ability to run before I start thinking about a 700-lb squat, no?

Louie Simmons once said something along the lines of “a great deadlifter can be a strong squatter, but a strong squatter is not always a strong deadlifter”
definitely not taking anything away from this lift, biggest squat I’ve ever seen out of a kid his age. Just throwing in my 2 cents![/quote]

Thank you for your intelligent input, but I’m presenting a point here. Do you not agree? Here is the quote direct from the westside website: “Paul Childress said that a big squatter is not always a big deadlifter, but a big deadlifter is almost always a big squatter”.
I see where you’re coming from, but the point wasn’t how much can he deadlift (so I can arbitrarily compare my strength to his). The point is that a 15 year old squatted 700lbs.

The point is “who besides you gives a shit?” This thread was celebrating the fact that a 15 year old squatted 700lbs. You decided to bring up his deadlifting for no good reason.

I brought up deadlifting as a topic for discussion; as I stated before, I’m not trying to take away from this lift. Its a badass lift especially for a 15 year old kid

We have MILLIONS of threads about the deadlift. Go post in one of those. This thread is about a freakish strength for a young kid.

No I don’t agree that a thread about a 700 pound deadlift should involve a discussion on the deadlift…do you also want to know his turn-ons and turn-offs? What about another equally irrelevant topic like, say, if he is a capricorn?
If you want to present a point, go make a thread about it…this isn’t a god damned chatroom…Twitter has turned kids your age into a generation of mouth breathing retards
<edit…why is this shitty forum putting my response in the quote? There is no quote tag below my post>

He apparently deadlifts 545. For a 15 year old those lifts are almost unfathomable.
Really makes it clear how some people are just born to lift massive amounts of weight.
Beast mode, I had never even tried squatting when I was 16 and still can’t come close to that. Very very impressive. Did it seem to anyone else that the right side of the bar (our left) was like 4 inches lower the entire squat? Funny how he can have the bar off balance and still get 700lbs insane.

Yeah, I also wondered about that and how he STILL managed to pull of the squat.
F=ma. Louie Simmons talks about that equation a lot, because it makes sense. Realistically for powerlifting it would look something like Force= mass times acceleration divided by offsets+psychological factors+etc… So what I’m saying is, if you have larger mass, the amount you would divide the total force by, the offset, is negated, whereas with less mass it is more significant.
In short, less mass=less stabilization/room to compensate.
