I prefer the walked out squat as that is all I really know. It is the only way I can measure out my theory.
Multiply Mono guys might very well say if you can pick it up you can squat it. I don’t know how a lifter can hold a heavy max weight and know that they can squat it. There are always some limits. Personally I wish you all well with your lifting in any way you do it. I find it all exciting as hell. Take a couple of steps back though to see what we have to do to get a lift before judging.
Here’s my final post on this thread. I’ve had a lot of fun posting this thread due to the responses.
I know I messed up on my orginal post, but I hope I clarifeid it and have no enemies due to it. We all lift for a reason. be it self fulfillment or to compete. I lift to win. I don’t care if I win a weightclass, or by wilks. I just want to win. If I dont want to win or think I can’t win I lift in the gym.

I think it’s a difference between beginner/intermediate strength levels and advanced strength levels. For beginner/intermediate lifters the squat is the harder part. For advanced lifters, the walk out is the hardest part because it’s a few multiples of your BW. The more over your BW you’re walking out the harder it is to control it. Once you get that weight moving to walk it out, it wants to keep moving.

I’m not sure whether you’re talking about just geared or both raw and geared, but I disagree (at least as far as unequipped goes). Maybe it’s because part of my strongman training is the yoke walk, where you’re walking w a weight far in excess of what you could squat, but while a walkout w maximal weight may be difficult, it’s nowhere near as difficult as squatting it.[/quote]
I’m not quite sure I know what I’m talking about, but for the yoke walk, isn’t the weight lower? As opposed to squatting where all the mass is at about shoulder level? I think when your center of gravity is a lot higher that would make life a lot harder, no?

I’ll be interested to hear his response but my belief is that it applies to geared lifters. The addition of gear enables you to squat weights far in excess of what you’d be able to squat raw and the ‘sticking’ point swings towards walking it out. Like WIG stated, you usually applies to advanced lifters. I can still walk out a crap load more than I can squat.[/quote]
Yeah, if you’re raw the walkout probably isn’t harder than the squat. Although, it’d be interesting to see Wilkerson walkout 975. Once you put in single-ply gear the walkout can be the hardest part.

Can you please clarify what or to whom this is directed and why, kthx.[/quote]
Probably me since my avatar has mom written on it. I like to think I have put my training before my kids since I sold then for a kick ass custom suit.[/quote]
Seriously, I just want to know where in the fuck he got that idea from.
Maybe he thinks Mom’s are just good for scrubbing the skidmarks out of his panties.
