Great atmosphere!
He would be fun to tackle.
Damn, that makes me feel very, very weak.
GO BADGERS!!!
I found a new psyche-up video to watch before my Squat session!
They got my track playing in the background too. No no no, this video is perfect. Thanks MAtt!

IS there any benefit to squatting without a shirt?
I obviously cant just take my shirt off at my gym, nor would I to begin with, but I just chalk up my shoulders and I never have any problems with slipping of the bar.
Makes your badass level skyrocket.

Only if you’re lifting respectable weight. If you’re like the two morons in my uni gym that took their shirts off for their 135lb bench sets, you should be hung, drawn and quartered.
The guy was just as bouncy at the end of it as he was at the start, deserves a pat on the back for it!!!

That is bad ass. The only hole I can poke in it is that he did them basically high bar, which means he could do even more if he got use to low bar style! Well done to that dude.[/quote]
Help a dumass out here please. High bar? Low bar? Explain please. I squat like this guy. (Not 605 for reps!) But if you say I can get more with low bar, I’d be interested in checking it out.
thanks.
Bar is resting in the middle to upper portion of the trapezious.
Low bar means resting across the shoulders, as low on the traps as possible. There will be a “groove” there.
You can do more weight with “low bar” as it is much more stable.
If that was sarcastic…that’s funny
If you’re serious…please jump off a building

Yeah- that’s the biggest suprise to me. I’m usually ready to puke after I rack if I squat anything over 5 reps.

To make this as a blanket statement is ignorant.
You try to maximize a lifters leverages through bar placement. Not everybody benefits from a lower placement.
The bar in the video was not Olympic high.
I think it is safe to say it was working fine for him.

Not to hijack the thread, but I didn’t want to make a new thread just for this video.
Anyways, its a 3xBW Front squat for 5 reps…
605lb squat for 9 reps is very impressive
however 5x200 front squat if it’s only 200lbs is nowhere near the vicinity of impressive its not even worth video taping
Holy shit.
dude, he meant 200 kg…
Shit, if I was inside linebacker I would not want to face that coming through the middle.

Weightlifters do not measure in pounds!
Even if it would have been pounds he weighs 145 lbs. How many 145ers do you know who can frontsquat 200 lbs?
"however 5x200 front squat if it’s only 200lbs is nowhere near the vicinity of impressive its not even worth video taping "
A triple bodyweight frontsquat is impressive no matter the weight. The keyword in that clip was triple BW…
Yeah, but if I had spotters like that, and the belt and the stereo, and all that other stuff…yeah. I could do that. He must have been cheating somehow. Or it was steroids. Yeah. That’s it. Steroids. /sarcasm
That was damn impressive is what it was. That was past parallel, too. Every rep. He made that look easy. Scary easy.

Article about the guy, apparently cleans 420 too:

Triple BW Squat is already impressive.
A Triple BW front-squat 5x is awesome, must’ve meant 220KG and not LB’s

No offense but its pretty obvious that the weight is 200kg. Look at all the plates on the bar!
