nominal prospect- you better chickitty check yourself before you wrikkitty wreck yourself. you made some of THE most absurd claims i have ever heard. Saying a bodybuilder can smith squat more than a powerlifter? WOW, who is moron enough to say that? I would take Jeff Lewis vs. Ronnie any day.

That should tell you a lot about Nominal Prospect - to him appearances are more important than reality. Hollywood or politics for him.

Yeah he is strong, but all that strength is worthless if he doesn’t have the skills on the field.
And that didn’t quite look like parallel to me.
Plus, he was wearing a belt so its not like he lifted it on his own.

Internet pussy. How much do you squat? 100 lbs. Fag.

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.[/quote]
Honestly unless you’re a powerlifter I don’t think it makes a difference. And the reason is not because it’s more stable, it’s because your back becomes a shorter lever, thus requiring less force to move the weight.

Even though the angle is wrong, if you watch his knees and the part of his thighs you can see, it is pretty clear that he is hitting bottom. We’ve all seen quarter and half squats here, and those look nothing like that.

This debate is dumb, but you can squat rock bottom and still not pass parallel if your knees go way out.
cap’n salty.
IT MATTERS and we all know it does no need to try to win an argument.
If were going about who has most popularity points here and you can thusly shut my argument out then fine.
But case in point, ok, since it doesnt matter, dude has that bar up in the middle of his traps, wny not put it up on the very top of his traps. Don’t you think the weight is going to drop?
Stability makes a difference in lifting max weight, case in point bench press. Take leg drive and legs out the equation. The weight is going to come down.
The dead lift, why not make one foot 2" back from the other… Its going to matter.

PL’ers may hold the world records in the big 3, but that’s because the big 3 are all they train for. I don’t think that powerlifers can truly be considered stronger than bodybuilders or other athletes. If you really wanted to know for sure, you’d have them perform strength feats from other sports, not just their own. Why not have powerlifters compared to bodybuilders in the smith squat, or barbell curl exercises? It’s pretty obvious they would get destroyed. This simply reinforces the natural law of specialization: people become good at what they specialize in. It is faulty and erroneous to characterize powerlifters as “stronger” than bodybuilders until they are stronger in everything, not just those select lifts which make up their sport.
Strength doesn’t exist. Every new training theory is a scam.[/quote]
Wow. Smith Machine Squat? Barbell Curl?
What next, wiffle ball, quoits?
Besides a FEW top pro bodybuilders out of season, you don’t see big weights getting thrown around by many bodybuilders.
The scam is when somebody buys the muscle mags and takes it seriously.
I say again, Wow!

I work for wisconsin, If you nitices the guy with the camera in front of the squatter, thats my bud Dave. I’m trying to get that copy.
"If he doesn’t have the skills on the field. . . "
Pressley hurt his leg (suprisingly) and didn’t play this year, so in effect it was all for naught.
I weigh 218 and squat 405 for just as many reps, and I consider that weak. This guy in question has a good amount of weight on me ( even alittle fat ) so I cant wait to get to his weight and make a movie so you guys can talak about my 600 pound squat for 12 LOL.

Bring it on f-f-f-freak. Go pump up those skinny arms. Let’s compare the ratio of arms to thighs - I would totally kick your butt!

lol what a hater.
605/260 = 2.327
405/218 = 1.858
215x2.327 = 507
Looks to be a bit far off.
