So you think a 200lb 6 foot 5 man can squat 700? That makes him pound forpound pretty much the greatest squatter ever. 3 and a half times bodyweight!

Usain's a troll of epic proportions ;D ;D no biography is complete without crazy numbers. He probably can quarter squat it.



Here are some big lifts by sprinters. Notice johnsons no homo 5 plate bob chick box squat. Also noticeable is the british neegal who comfortably cleans 375lbs which is a BIG fckn lift. I believe he wasn't a even a 100m specialist but 200m (could be wrong on that).

Bolt is just pulling numbers out of his ass.
LOL @ anyone who believes this. :D

No way is he squatting 700lbs for even a partial. Fuck, the moment he bends his knees he'd crushed into nothingness.

300lb bench is more believable although even if that's true, it still probably a real shitty rep.

Some of the heavyweight power lifters here perhaps. A legit 700lb squat is insane.

Bolt doesn't train for strength. He trains to improve his sprinting. Why would he even risk attempting to squat that kind of weight?
On his heaviest training days, I doubt he goes above the 400-500lb squatting range - similar to almost all elite sprinters.

Obviously Bolt has tendons like steel ropes to be able to accelerate so fast.  He is a genetic anomolie.  Pushing heavy weight is far less muscle as it is skeletal and tendon strength.  Bolt probably has zero endurance but in short bursts is unmatched when it comes to strength.  Plus his mind muscle connection is outworldly to be able to tap deep into his body for maximum output.  Something most people will never be able to do.

coach c'mon you know better.

doubt 700?

there is no way!

i have seen an offseason McGrath working legs, and now I do not know at all whether he was near his max, he was using 6 plates on each side and STRUGGLING--doing slow reps and he got multiple. but he was not busting them out or anything like that. this is frank mcgrath. not some bolt twink

like that was NOT easy for him.

this is TRUE, seen while working out in boston in 2010, and he was upwards of 300 lbs and a little shorter than me.. i'd guestimate 6 foot range. big guy.

point being- and i'll end this novel soon- there is not a GOD DAMNED CHANCE usain bolt squats 700 lbs!

Guaranteed you can't even do it in less than 15 seconds. 100%

I remember a thread here that was asking what did you run the 40 dash in high school football. I remember they were better than most of the football players that went into the NFL.  

On a different topic how many power lifters can squat 700lbs but can't touch the rim of a basketball hoop because they have no power in their legs?  Power lifting should be named strength lifting and Olympic lifting should be called power lifting. You would think a middle weight power lifter would be explosive in a sprint but often that's not the case. Even though there is a relationship there is a difference between power and strength. On the other hand Olympic lifters are explosive and can show that in athletic measurements.

In each stride a sprinter is exploding forward. It's best described as jumping forward from step to step.

Impressive core development

Real athlete's physique right there

Wonder what his exact stack is like

I also find it very interesting that those elite sprinters keep getting caught for diuretic use

Conte once said its so that the muscle is dryer and dry muscle = fast muscle

The water from anabolics would increase overall strength but not the kind of explosive athleticism that is needed here

Good to see we kissed and made up after last night's fight  ;D  (no homo)

I haven't competed in 10 years, but when I did I was in a natural federation. SHWs were the only ones breaking 300kg (660lbs) raw. One guy in the under 85kg category was somehow squatting 295kg but that was equipped (single ply or whatever the weakest level of support was).

I myself managed 240kg for 3 reps with knee wraps and a belt at just over 105kg juicing. To add another 100kg to that, for a fairly lanky athlete, at 6ft5 with small enough legs who is "natural" is laughable. 700lbs is 7 plates...and 15kg (35lbs) change. No fucking way.

Which would make a claim of 700lb with sloppy form a legit 500lb in competition form. Now tons of fucks with twink legs are mega squatters, unlike other exercises squats is one that does not go hand and hand with the size of the muscle like other exercises.

I know personally a lot of our top athletes from the 80's,90's and 2000 and can assure you that squatting with 250-300kg./550-660lbs./ was the norm for most of them. I've witnessed it countless times with athletes from different sports. Usually they did a lot of sets of 1-3 reps max/talking about track and field/.

Do a walkout with 315kg/700lbs, video it, and let's see how much your legs are shaking.

This is why I said even a 1/4 squat is bullshit. Walking out with that much weight for anyone other than an elite lifter (or thereabouts) is incredibly difficult. That's just supporting it on shoulders and taking a step back.

Look at their FRAME.  they're small, narrowish, not built like world class athletes.  The have an average amount of fast twitch muscle fibers.

I would never do this quarter rep BS that goes on, however I can hit my ass to the ground with 500lb easily, but I really do not see the big deal with someone grabbing 700lb on a smith machine and going down 5 inches which is more then likely what you would get with 75% of the claims, which wouldn't even translate to him doing a 500lb legit squat

Post by: Lustral on August 18, 2014, 05:11:48 PM
I'm sure Bolt would gladly trade his status as one of the most famous athletes in the world to squat a legit, competition legal, 700 pound squat. That would really be life-changing given how powerlifting is such a lucrative and popular "sport." Maybe he could then go multi-disciplinary and chase multiply bench press championships. That would really help him make a name for himself.

That's not the issue. Issue is, if he said it, it is total horse shit under any interpretation of a squat.

Anyone who has lifted heavy squats knows what it feels like to have 5 or 6 plates on your back. Make that more than 7 and look at Bolt. No fucking way. Never happening.

Ya but that is not the point here. The point is only powerlifters will say the truth when it comes to lifts and everyone else will not, period. Under no circumstances will you not get an inflated number with everyone on the planet so a claim = less, we all know this, why do we have to always say ''no way he can'' when we know how things work. I know a guy at my gym that goes around saying he benches 450 and he goes down 4 inches, is he lying? NO, just his interpretation, to everyone else he is a laughing stock.

Most all top sprinters squat. Including Bulgarian squats, step-ups and other one legged versions, and with heavy weight.  Most all track & field athletics also. Any of their weight programs include heavy ham, lower back work and weighted ab . Ben Johnson was squatting around the 500lb range if I remember correctly, when in was on top of his game (juiced or not)..

Far as Bolt's 700lb squat goes, not likely. Though he may support a loaded bar off a PR...some will do that and take a slight break at the knees.


Back in the 50's the open secret of how the Russians (even the women) dominated so many Olympic events was weight training. American coaches use to think that would cause an athletic to become muscle bound so no such training for them.  Those injected sports "vitamin's" given by Russian doctor was maybe the really "big secret", along with weight training, for the Russian athletes.. Funny how the women Russian athletes would grow facial hair, take on masculine qualities and develop a deep voice with these "vitamin" injections.

The Ben Johnson squat for reference -

.

At about 2:50 in.

I think it was for a machine or (probably) Smith squat, the article I linked on the last page from 2009, makes mention that some sort of machine squat done to parallel was a big part of his training program.

Stop fucking threads up with your dumbass posts.

Remember, for me to race you we would have to meet, and you just don't want that.    ;)

Try and come up with some online challenges, you know like online poker because you are shit scared to sit at a poker table.

Post a pic of you sitting at a poker table plying poker with some high rollers like you keep claiming.

You dont go out at night in case you get roughed up by a big boy.

I ll have to come to Joons defence here, he CANT take a picture of him at a poker table with high rollers or any other kind of players. Taking photos in a poker room in any casino in the UK will get you immediately banned from that venue.

Would you like me to post some pictures of poker players sitting around poker tables posted by the very Casios themselves?

Seriously, if Joon was the poker whizz he claims dont you think there would be at least one picture online of him sitting at a table playing?

Simple Simone, why are you posting in a thread about athletes and squatting? You said you train with rainbow colored elastic bands.

Sir Chris Hoy squats 5 plates like its an empty bar... Are bolts squats with 700lb rock btm? Probly not, could he move it... No doubt at all in my mind, pure fast twitch power..

Jonathon Edwards the triple jumper was strong: 150kg Power Cleans, 235kg squat.

Why do you post on a forum about bodybuilding when you clearly have no interest or genetics for it.

Why dont you as a former tennis pro go posting on tennis forums?

Oh...wait.....

You failed at that as well didnt you.

So you think a 200lb 6 foot 5 man can squat 700? That makes him pound forpound pretty much the greatest squatter ever. 3 and a half times bodyweight!

There are many weightlifters who can squat 320kg at this bodyweight.

That being said it is impossible for him to squat this amount of weight. Strongest sprinter, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey has back squat around 250kg, maybe even less. Strength does not directly translate to power (deadlift vs clean) and has even less carry-over to speed. 200-230kg would be much more believable.

Obviously Bolt has tendons like steel ropes to be able to accelerate so fast.  He is a genetic anomolie.  Pushing heavy weight is far less muscle as it is skeletal and tendon strength.  Bolt probably has zero endurance but in short bursts is unmatched when it comes to strength.  Plus his mind muscle connection is outworldly to be able to tap deep into his body for maximum output.  Something most people will never be able to do.

ROFL, what a bunch of rubbish. Moving heavy weight is not about muscle strength? Do you have ANY idea how muscles work? Lemme explain to you, sweetheart. They fucking contract. And that makes your limbs move. Yes, you need strong tendons to not get hurt by big weights. But it's muscles that move big weights. Muscle volume is not the only factor, CNS (being able to use a lot of muscle fibers at the same time) adaptation and mechanics (short legs for squat, long legs for sprint, long arms for deadlift and so on) are also very important for optimal performance.

Yeh that's the casinos photos. Members of the public cant just snap away, I was told this a few weeks ago in the Hippoddrome casino when I got my phone out to take a pic of the gaming floor as it had recently been redone.

True. When I was in russia we were taking photos of us playing boxing machine. There were slots just behind machine. Several large men in leather coats politely informed me photos were not allowed  ;D

First off you are pussy I offered to come to your gym last Saturday at 2.00pm and you bottled it like you have about 7 times already.

Secondly you think its a joke to run 100 meter sprint in 12.5 seconds, you think that is slow for non professional sprinter and someone in their mid thirties....shows me you never sprinted 100 meters in your life when you make bullshit statements  like that.

I am almost 90% sure you can't even do 100 meter sprint in less than 15 seconds.

We all know your a pussy and only good at getting in thong and will never meet so I grant your request and play you heads up online poker anytime you want.

Jonathon Edwards the triple jumper was strong: 150kg Power Cleans, 235kg squat.

Exactly, and me Edwards was the skiniest twink going, no where near the level of Mr bolt...

look at some of the olympic liters in the weightclasses, some of the taller lighter guys look like they'd snap in half..

As per the 'sprinters aren't weightlifters' comments, I think most world class sprinters would take to Olympic lifting well, there both sports that rely on pure fast twitch fibres... But why would a sprinter quit to be a lifter, its like a pop star becoming a backing dancer or a roady in esteem terms

I find it funny that an obvious bowlegged thong prancer offers opinions on anything athletic. I doubt he could run 100m without pulling a hammie or something. I ran the hundred in my 20's and it is not as easy as it looks ..

Edwards didn't do a squat with 235kg, he did a knee bend.Look it up its all over the net. I see Edwards around a fair bit, ill choke him out next time I see him for telling lies.

For anyone who has seen hoy squat 5 plates it was a perfect rep. He has huge legs and track cyclists produce the highest power output of any athletes, over 2200 watts. Adding 2 plates a side for bolt is never going to happen. I can't understand how anyone could believe it. Even a walkout.

Fixed ;).... As I said earlier, I don't think he could deep squat 700, he could move it tho

This is Chris Hoy squatting, looks like its very hard work for him, there are 4 plates on each side of the bar clearly labelled 20KG on them. That's 180kg. Still good and a lot more than I can do but yet another athlete feeling the need to lie through his teeth. Ive mentioned Mike Tysons 500lb bench press before I believe.

I've trained with top sprinters before. First of all you need to understand how they squat. It's not a full squat by any means (as they don't want a knee injury nor do they need that range of motion).

Flojo was squatting over 300 pounds for reps.

Bolts legs may look skinny but that is in proportion to his long body. Trust me his legs and glutes are fucking strong and powerful. He would definitely be doing reps of sprinters squats at the 400-450 pound range. Possibly more depending on his training cycle. 700 is not out of the question.

So, full squat increases the risk of knee injury? Wat.

Oh and squat is squat. Half squat is half squat. Hope this helps.
