powerlifting squats are a joke to make it intersting powerlifters should have a set stance not to surpass shoulder width that would be something :o

something like that... ::)

sorry. i thought he was the kind of guy who'd bend over and grab his ankles for the camera . . .

Tom Platz doing 498lbs 23 times...

He's done a lot more than that. And in that youtube vid if you're refering to that one, it's more like 540. There are collars and a 10kg plate on both ends, but this is not visible to the camera from that angle. Also, Tom was less than 200 lbs bodyweight.
635 for 15, 600 for 20, 585 for 23, etc. I have verified these numbers with Tom.
Platz was one of the best squatters of all time. Max of 775 lbs without 1rm specific training...!!

FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! :o
whilst downloading this i was expecting to see a partial, but that shit was deep.
that is, by far, the best squat i've ever seen. 198 ??? beats coens and annihilates hatfield's.
anyone that has ever faced their fears and put serious weight behind there neck would attest to sam being an absolute warrior!
thanks a lot for posting that chris. pure inspiration.

Sam is a great lifter but that squat was high and there was no pause.
i guess in that Fed they allow this.
Still a strong bastard any way you look at it.

PAUSE??
Unfortunately, when "powerlifting" is associated with a lift....it will automatically be discounted by someone on the internet, especially if gear is involved.
Byrd's squat is VERY impressive....insane how quick he comes up with it.
Capt. Kirk's double with 1,000lbs is one of my fav lifts of all time.

the funny thing is that powerlifters are all fat. look at this tub of shit, no wonder his squat's that high. ::)

wtf is up with all these p/lifters getting ripped ???
-
A LOT of people suffer from the misconception that all powerlifters are fat. In the 242 lbs and less weight classes most of the lifters are quite lean. Why? Well, for the obvious reason that muscle moves the load, not body fat and if you are capped on what you can weigh you want as much lean muscle tissue as possible.
Yes, the superheavies carry a lot of body fat but that is because they can. Increasing one's body weight when training with resistance will increase what one can lift. That has been proven over and over by lifters all over the world.
-
even up into the 275s that's true, i'd say. here's a pic of konstantin konstantinovs, a 275'er and currently the holder of the third biggest deadlift behind bolton and benni.

what did he lift?
-
3. The lifter must bend the knees and lower the body until the top of the thigh at the hip, NOT the hip joint, is lower than the top of the kneecap. Locking and unlocking of the knees after demonstrating control of the weight is not defined as a descent. But, the knees must be locked at the-start and completion of the lift. Only one descent per-attempt is allowed.
4. The lifter must recover at will, from the deepest point of the squat, without double bouncing or any downward movement (stopping is allowed) to an upright position with the knees locked. If the lifter's feet move or if the lifter takes a step but regains control alone, the lift is good, as long as they are not assisted by a spotter and the situation does not appear dangerous.
I stand corrected...it states "stopping is allowed" although i usually give a press command to my lifters when they get deep enough. when you don't have a mirror it's hard to tell how deep you are with lots of weight on your back.
"top of the thigh at the hip, NOT the hip joint, is LOWER than the top of the kneecap"...i'd need to see a better angle to call that one, that is why you have 3 judges.

if you've even been to a powerlifting meet anywhere in the world you would know that you don't have to pause at the bottom of a squat.

then he recanted and posted the federations rules stating that "stopping is allowed".

this is the point.
IF he actually competed and judged meets as he said he did then he would most definitely know that you don't need to pause at the bottom of the lift.

to get the best +/- and because they are classed by weight

Are you quite sure Kirk is not wearing a squat suit?
Oh, and Sam did his lift at 198 lbs. Kirk was a touch heavier... ;)
Not to diminish Kirk's accomplishment, he was an INCREDIBLE squatter.

He was wearing a singlet nothing like today's gear. Sam is a good geared lifter but not sure if he could even walk out 600. The mono-lift has ruined the squat almost as much as canvas suits that stand on their own.
Look at Kirk's depth in his squat as well as foot position......the mono lift allows lifters to spread their legs resulting in something that doesn't even resemble what "used" to be a squat....it's impressive to have over 1000lbs on your back, but it ain't the same as a squat.
my two cents
-
this is a squat chris mason that thing you guys do with more gear than your bodyweight is not that guy couldnt squat 675 using a regular stanced and without his knee wraps and suit ::)
-

tom was obviously a great squatter and had the legs to prove it but there's no way you can even begin to compare 485lbs to 1050lbs regardless of equipment.
-

he also squated 750 without equipment using that same stance without ever trainning 1rm

You might want to recheck what Sam has done totally raw...
You really should have a clue before commenting.
As for singlets, they do nothing. They are not a suit. Do you know for a fact Kirk was only wearing a singlet?
As for the monolift and the width of a squat, check Ed Coan's squats off of a rack. He goes quite wide.
-

Lol, what is Tom wearing in that video? Really, you guys should know what the fuck you are talking about before posting. You only look like fools.
-

You know this because?
Tom never claimed a 750 lbs single to my knowledge.
Tom was a great squatter with huge quads.
-
So everyone knows, Kirk was wearing a Suit in that squat vid it is a older Titan suit. Still not as advance as todays suits but he still had one on.
I am pretty damn sure no one has squatted a Grand Raw yet. Well just looked it up and the biggest RAW sqaut was done by Mark Henry at 948 pounds on 7/16/1995 in Wilkes Barre Scranton. So that lets all of you know for a FACT that Kirk had on a suit :)
My 2 cents :) Wolfy!!!!

Regarding stance width... Are you suggesting it's possible to set up as wide with a regular rack as it is with a monolift? ::)

I say it was.
I'll bet you $1000 right here, right now, if you can find me a pic or a video showing Byrd being below parallell with his hip joint.

her are the greatest squts joe bradley 650 pounds at 148 i think then eddy coan 964 pounds at 215 bodyweight imight add lee moran who did 1000pounds in 1984 and french strongman pierre brulois who front squatted 725 pounds and andrei stanazeck qintuple bodyweight squat 661pounds at 114 bwt

I would have to add Shane Hamman's drugtested 1008 lbs @23 yrs old to that list.

i never said you needed to...i made a statement that he didn't pause, which makes the weight much easier to press with that style of suit on.
i'm just used to judging REAL squats and most lifters pause in the USAPL. most lifters ask me to give them a press command when they get deep enough for the lift to pass.

Hedge, what is "legit depth" is determined by the organization in which you are competing. You know that.
-

worse
it came out of that now defunct vince mcmahon wbf bullshit.
they held a squat off comp between dr squat, fred hatfield and tom in response to ifbb athletes, zuccoloto and quinn's curl fest. they selected a maximum lift and reps comp.
surpise suprise, tom won the reps part, fred won the max and it was subsequently declared a draw (like quinn and zuke).
excactly the same concept as the ifbb event, the weights were nowhere near that of the claims and tom's previously claimed max of 600 oddlbs whilst in his peak was bettered by over 100lbs despite being nowhere near the same condition or size he was when he did 600lbs.
same with fred. he was also long retired and looked like a different person in terms of comparison with his peak (when he squatted the world record of the time).

This is the rules of the IPA, the federation that sanctioned the meet.
http://www.ipapower.com/rules.htm
3. The lifter must bend the knees and lower the body until the top of the thigh at the hip, NOT the hip joint, is lower than the top of the kneecap.
The top of thigh at the hip was clearly not lower than the top of the kneecap at anytime of the lift.
Ie, Byrd shouldn't even get white's in this federation.
Byrd's raw squat to legit depth is much more impressive IMO. This BS "squat", with 24 hour weigh in, 2.5 meter wraps, briefs, multilayer canvas suits, monolifts and what not, it's impossible to compare him to guys who's done real squats in the 198 lbs division.
Which is a real shame IMO.
Would be interesting to see him pitted against the best results alltime in 198 or 220.

yes it would, and it would be interesting to get vid/pics of their depth too.
depth has always been an issue with world record squats. if you think byrd's squat was short, ever see footage of hatfield's 1000?
i've seen many big squats that get passed that are shorter than that one.

1 rep is the closest a man's absolute strength can be tested, because it is the minimum and thus the most effort can be submitted because nothing further is required. ;)

First official 1000+ squatter...
Dave Waddington
275 class
1003 squat
July 1982
Walked out, Ace bandage knee wraps, flimsy single poly suit, and a thin leather bodybuilding (tapered) belt. IMO, the most impressive squat ever
-
Captain Kirks 1000 times 2, is the most impressive squat clip ever imo.

coan did 964 pounds squat at 216 bwt . long time ago . guy from finland whois a 308 ppounder squatted over quadruple bwt . jonas rantanen i think . and anderson repped with 800 pounds in 1957 .
