I don’t see the issue, a lot of successful lifters use some type of supra maximal training to get their body used to heavier weights.
As far as “practicing like you play” I see a lot of lifters using touch and go benches in the gym even though a pause is necessary in a meet. Strong is strong, OP controlled 620 to maybe 2" above parallel (maybe more maybe less) and aside from one little form breakdown, handled it back to the rack, I for one do not see the problem. Excellent job.

You practice like you play, right? So why squat high in training if you can’t squat high in a meet?

Refer to Paul Anderson. More than one way to skin the cat guys.

For the same reason that basketball players will practice their freethrows WITHOUT having someone actively defend the shot.

Freethrows are always undefended, hence free. But basketball players practice other shots undefended, too, so you make a good point.

Nah, I don’t consider those wrong, but I don’t use them. I’m talking things like partial ROM movements, touch and go deads/benching, non-locked out reps, high volume work, less frequent squatting, etc etc.
For the free throw comment, thanks for the save, I know fuck all about basketball terminology, haha.

I am having trouble seeing what many here believe is a good “gym” lift. Am I the only one who sees his knees rebend and him almost fall?

If no spotter was there, the OP would have completely missed the lift and the bar would have landed on the pins. Is that to say the OP couldn’t get it? No, because if he keeps his weight back I think he finishes it.[/quote]
It was a nice attempt and good effort. Sometimes you just have to push yourself a little. [/quote]
Agreed. It’s a lot of weight and a good grind. Yes, the technique could use some work, and yes, it’s high with an assisted spot, but I’m not going to try to bring a guy down by mentioning only the latter and not the former.

Depth was close, anyway depth or not 620 at 200 is fucking amazing.
OP did you ever tried squatting in weightlifting shoes ? They might benefit your squatting style.[/quote]
I tried them once and didnt like them, but that was 3 years ago when i started powerlifting, i’ve been sticking to chucks ever since.

It’s powerlifting man. It’s really not that far from the norm.

No, you aren’t the only one. That was a good effort but not a good lift (meet, gym, or otherwise).
LOL at supposed Powerlifters not knowing who the OP is.
Question for you man, how do you structure your training? Particularly with squats, do you have cut a lot of weight to make 198’s or do you feel you’re built for the lift and have the capability to squat a lot without adding a lot of weight gain?
OP,
Thanks for posting the video. Inspiring.

Im really glad Pwnisher has been quoting this Big Red Machine idiot’s quotes, because I added that dumbass to my ignore list a long time ago (for good reason obviously).
What gets me is if he is a lot weaker than the guy he is critiquing, why the fuck does he think he is even qualified to give advice? That drives me insane nowadays…every fucking keyboard warrior is a god damned expert, even though he hasn’t accomplished shit and is weak as fuck. Your advice is not worth a watery shit. Less advice giving, more training, and maybe eventually you wont be laughed at in the ladies section.[/quote]
Good effort OP. Helluva push.

my squat training is structured as follows, 50% x 5, 60% x 4, 70% x 3 x 2, 80% x 3 x 5
then back down to 50% x 5, 60% x 4, 70% x 3 x 5 all based on my max. I usually dont have to cut too much weight usually 5-7Ibs. I try to put on a decent amount of weight before my lifts at the meet, but usually come out to 205-207Ibs, will try to put on more this time. Some times i can squat relatively the same weight(@ 198Ibs) as compared to being heavier, depends on how i feel, rest, diet etc.

Awesome, do you follow the same routine for your other lifts?
How is your progression scheme like if you don’t mind me asking?
