Ho-ly shit. That’s athleticism.
Here is a video of her in the pool. Har.
she back squats like that because she uses a lot of quad. a world class olympic weightlifter uses a lot of quad, imagine that…

What do they use a lot of quad in relation to? Pretty sure they use a lot of hams, glutes, erectors, etc. 
uh, catching the bar in a full front squat? her back squat looks like a slow olympic lift, which is not surprising considering she is an olympic weightlifter-
-
she hits the bottom out in front
-
comes up with a lot of quad (you can see this because her knees extend much more rapidly than her hips)
-
knees reflex (scoop)
-
hips don’t truly extend till after the knee bend (second pull)

Why is it bad? This girl has done more squats in her life than the participants of this entire thread combined - don’t you think that if it was bad, she’d be dealing with knee injuries?
Cara Heads is an Olympic level weightlifter - this puts her among the best in the world. She is more of an expert at moving weight with her body than most of you will ever be at anything. Further, she has worked with some of the best coaches in the country. Again, don’t you think its a little presumptuous to second guess them? Full squats are an integral part of any olympic lifting program, and if she was doing something that was tremendously wrong, its a pretty safe assumption that one of her coaches would have fixed it.
Moreover, this video has her backsquatting 2x bodyweight for 10 reps! I doubt anyone on this thread can do 320x10 for full squats as it is. She squats the way she squats for a good reason, and I promise you that it works for her.[/quote]
Calm down there champ. “she is more of an expert at moving weights than you will be at anything” “I doubt anyone on this thread can do 320x10 for full squats” “This girl has done more squats in her life than all of the participants in this thread combined”
Her feat is great and all, but your little claims just don’t hold up. Besides, these guys have very legitimate concerns, and here you are riding a chick’s nuts going PC on everyone for having good intentions.

People are quick to say “oh they’ve accomplished this and that so they MUST know what they’re doing.”
Look that dude wants to flame me for being critical over her knees buckling … good for him; Fuck 'im; let him rant. That’s what this board is for discussion and every now and then a difference of opinion will come up, there’s nothing wrong with it

Yeah but there’s difference of opinion, and then there’s talking garbage for the hell of it. But yeah I guess you’re right.
She should probably use a more pl style squat so her glutes really pop out on King.
She can do a PR squat on my face any day. Holy fuck she is smokin hot.
Her form is fine. She is just a little more quad dominant than you would see with a powerlifter with hip/ham dominance. Also she out squats me so I have to work harder to catch up.

You absolute muppet.
He said the people posting IN THIS THREAD couldn’t do it.
You posted AFTER he said it. The post quoted above is your very first one in this particular thread.
Nice going.

That was horrible. Haha.
Is this thread about to become a pissing contest? Stay tuned and find out.
I cannot believe some of the ridiculous dweebs on this sight. An olympian does this and people criticize her form. Ridiculous.
Why don’t some of you take a trip to Westside and teach Louie how to lift, so the big boys don’t get hurt. Then you can tour the major Olympic weightlifting countries and check on their form also.
This video makes me want to squat…she has tree trunks for legs! (for a woman lol)
Who gives a fuck about her form.
Jacking heavy weight (315 for deep, raw squats for a 130-150 lb woman is heavy weight) for a bunch of reps matters more than good form.
