I was yelling at my computer on tmodi’s 620lb squat. Awesome.
I was holding my breath![/quote]
Me too.
The sad thing is that Squat, I loaded 635 for my next attempt, walked it out and 1/8 Squatted it before I realized that I was in over my head. I reracked it and watched the 620 video. If I had seen what 620 looked like, I don’t think I would have even thought about 635!
Modi: Did you really try even heavier than shown in the video? Man, you are insane. I could put my house on that you was unable to do a heavier weight after that attempt. It was a great PR, and the push you created against the ground created a earth shake in china. You are one insane man! (Take that in a good way)

Isn’t it crazy how strong a max lift looks while at the same time feeling like your lifting a house?

Very true. If done right, it usually looks a lot better than it feels. Although after looking at my 620, it looked about as hard as it felt.

Yeah, I really was crazy/stupid/insane enough to load up 635 after I hit the 620. I couldn’t post it on youtube because I know some assclown somewhere would think that I was calling it a real Squat.
So for the entertainment of all, here is my 635 Power Curtsy. I would say I was about 16" shy of parallel. As soon as I started to Squat, my body screamed NNNOOOOOO! And for once I listened.

I think it was right about depth. Only the camera angle makes it look high. Damn internet judges!

Yeah the camera angle was looking up so obviously it’d be high.
I was there in person and the judges said it’s a good lift so it counts. Everyone knows you can’t judge depth on video. 'tards.
I’ve done that more times than I can remember when maxing. Something deep down just says, “you’ll die if you do this.” You probably won’t, but injuries suck.

I think most of us have had that experience some times, lifting off a weight, and then reracking it, because everything tell us: “No way…”
