Did Ronnie Coleman ever use fake plates in the 800lb squat?
« on: March 12, 2012, 04:46:06 PM »
look at the bar speed in his 800lbs squat, if this is real he can squat easily over 1000

Bar arcs way too much to be fake, unless he was using "fake" 35 pound plates or something which is pointless.

Well he's in a suit and some big knee wraps there which help a lot, with that maybe 825, 830ish.  Without all that maybe 720-750.

I don't think suits + wraps add 100+ lbs, more like 50-100 but I don't really know.

so he can pretty much squat as much as a heavyweight weightlifter but with less rom?

that's pretty crazy

To much bend in the bar...but who the fuck knows...even if it is 600 it is a lot of weight.

But what cracks me up...if Coleman goes down with that weight...is his fucking spotter really going to anything but get crushed?  Is Brian going to step in and stop the certain death that awaits...nope.

I wouldn't say that.  The equipped squat record is well over 1000 pounds.  I don't think it's unrealistic at all that Ronnie was as strong as a low-grade competitive powerlifter.

Suit and wraps could add 150 pounds, shallow knee bend 50-100 pounds.

I have said this before, and I will say it again. Ronnie was a great deadlifter. He wasn't a great bencher or squatter.

and for the fool that said coleman isnt a good squater...
check invincible..
he does front squats with six plates till it falls off his shoulder at rep six  he then proceeds to do five plates for 10 reps like paper...
this was his leg workout not him trying to max out....
m ost people here have no idea about training .....at all
only 3 bbers have legitimately benched 500 coleman and levrone... and ive seen cormier rep 405 like paper.... and do 500...
oh and zak khan.....
kai green no..... hands on the bar from first rep means you DIDNT do the weight simple

Yep, with Branch tearing muscles and JOJ training for power-lifting, Dopson has a gym full of plastic weights in a country, redneck city like Arlington.

Wasn't Ronnie 5 weeks or so out from the Olympia?  I'd use a suit too.
