Why you need to do full squats

Testosterone

sounds like an excuse to me.

You're really a stupid *kitten*.

Don't get mad man, this guy probably saw somebody who squatted more than he did and the only thing he could say was that his was deeper. So he went home and started a thread.

wannabe power lifter, eh?

got a pic of you pulling these numbers??

I tried full squats today & had to cut my reps in half but I did it!

half reps get half results. a full squat of 315 is more impressive than a 90 degree stop of 500! ive done both and the 315 is a LOT harder.

on what planet do you gain 185lbs on your squat by reducing your rom 2-3 inches? do you just have terrible form/quad dominance? also is that you deadlifting a bunch of bumper plates in your sig?

try 6 inches, with a stop at the bottom. they are bumper plates and pig iron. its 555 lbs. go ahead and insult my form and leg strength some more, im enjoying the laughs.

bars not really bending much for 500+ brah :O and those look like 20kg bumpers

the bars dont actually bend that much, brah. ive done the lifting. id know.

chairmanmoo

those... are bumper plates, they could be as low as 10kg, but probably 20kg, and um... the bars not bending man

Testosterone

also your knee is falling in, and your grip is too wide. gotta clean that form up man. lower the weight, leave the ego at the door and do a weight you can hit without letting your knee(s) fall inside. then again im probably being too harsh, its not like its locked out in the pic(or even off the floor?) probably still setting up in the photo?

thumb out from the hip is how you grip. post a pic of you hitting some high numbers.

maybe you should look at what a 45 lb bumper plate looks like again. notice the two pig iron plates on it as well.
in fact you can see another 25 on the outside at the left of the picture. theres one to match on the right.

its ok, you can be upset that my light weight chest day is more than your heavy day.

and this is supposed to prove what? that you cant do this stuff yourself? oh ok. cool. thanks for informing me.

Testosterone

a gym is a gym. the only thing that one lacks is heavy enough dumb bells. whats in business is where im going to train.
again, how about some pictures of your amazing lifts?

Testosterone

oh, youd have to have some.

i dont.. take pictures of myself ... lifting weights man.. lol. i do compete though. 1890 total in the apf. isnt my e-peen so big, but tell you what. tomorrow i'll go to my gym and load up a bunch of 10kg bumper plates and lock out a super impressive looking deadlift and post the pics on here.

Testosterone

but hey, thanks for informing me i broke form a little the 6th time i lifted over 500 lbs that day, raising the weight each time. it really taught me somthing.

Thanks for posting this, I use the leg press because I have had some back problems in the past because of my weight. I lift a lot on the leg press but don't go down that far because my belly gets in the way. I try to make it at least to a 45 degree angle and never lock my knees at the top.

it's time to lower my weight and find a way to go lower to get the full range of motion.

because...you cant...lift heavy weights, man.

mrsnathanandrew

I wish I could...I'm workin on it tho. I just recently started even lifting...but I'm loving it!!! Right now I couldn't do a full squat to save my life.....you'd better put a tv down there....because once I'm down, I won't be up again for a minute :-)

I was like that when I first started, haha! I've always had a love hate relationship with squats, but they work wonders for my butt!

1890 total? Nice dude, especially if that's raw.

chairmanmoo

the pic you posted locking out, yelling like a manly man.. those are bumper plates, not pig irons. not pie plates, bumpers bro, thats why the bar is straight as an arrow. its super impressive though man. Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

inb4 the 3 white lights you got for that bumper plate lift

if youve gotten 1890 apf, you certainly had photographs or video of such a great personal achievement.

What kind of bar is that anyways? Assuming it's actually not bowing with 500+ on it, that's something a company should brag about.

its an oly bar, and the weight being more spread out because of the width of the bumpers (it was a crossfit gym) is why it didnt bend. if there was a heavy bar (100 lbs, like they use in real ipf competitions) it wouldnt bend with pig iron on it either.

I was asking the brand of the oly bar.

i dont think they make a 100lb bar man, and if they do IPF doesnt use it.

For all powerlifting contests organized under the rules of the IPF, only disc barbells are permitted. The
use of discs which do not meet the current specifications will invalidate the contest and any records
accomplished. Only those bars and discs that meet all specifications may be used throughout the entire
competition and for all lifts. The bar shall not be changed during the competition unless it is bent or
damaged in some way as determined by the Technical Committee, Jury or Referees. Bars to be used at
all IPF Championships shall not be chromed on the knurling. Only bars and discs that have official IPF
approval may be used at IPF World Championships or the setting of World Records. As from 2008 the
“knurling” distances on IPF approved bars will become universal/standard based on one of the
originally approved bars.
(a) The bar shall be straight and well knurled and grooved and shall conform to the following
dimensions:
1. Total overall length not to exceed 2.2 m.
2. Distance between the collar faces is not to exceed 1.32 m or be less than 1.31 m.
3. Diameter of the bar is not to exceed 29 mm or be less than 28 mm.
4. Weight of the bar and collars are to be 25 kg.
5. Diameter of the sleeve not to exceed 52 mm or be less than 50 mm.
6. There shall be a diameter machined marking or the bar taped so as to measure 81 cm between
marking or tape.

pretty much dictates they use a standard 45lb bar
