Levrone: With the posting of this video, the exhilaration of victory is ours! 500 lb squat for the first time in 4 1/2 years – all natural. I’m honored to share this victory with you.
-
Low enough.. with this weight for the first time in 4.5 yrs.
-
No, did not look deep enough to pass.
Nice looking Power Rack, by the way.
-
Looked like a quarter squat.
-
looked like your normal squat to me, almost ass to the grass type
Considering Levrone did that pretty easily yeh he did a great job, props
-
Looked 1/3ish to me. Another thing is the wearing of baggy sweat pants should never be done when videoing a lift attempt. Even if it's a half-way decent lift, the sweats make it hard to judge depth.
-
.

Proper videoing of a lift.
-
Talking a lot of shit for a bunch of pussies that would be crushed by 500
-
Meh, he put the video out there to be judged and no fed/legit judge/coach would judge that a passible lift.
-
A little high imo, he didn't get to parallel or as low as he was going with the lighter weights, but that was not terrible depth for a max squat.
-
Far too high.
WTF with the stretches also?
I doubt any of them would have passed a PLing meet. Look at the height of the racks compared to his body.
Why did he not ask the spotter to do the way his black friends spots him if its so safe?
Gay hug at the end.
-

Meh?
Hmmmmmmm....I remember someone who said that a lot that was into PLing ;)

squatting to parralel is one of the biggest myths perpetuated in the bodybuilding fraternity
1/2 reps even quarter reps like people call them are still great for muscular development too
football players dont squat to parralel btw..
-
i did not even watch the lift, just look at the height of the safety bars ffs, anybody who even for a split second thought it was a full rep is a quarter squatter
-
Not too low. You can clearly see that his leg has a ways to go before he gets close to parallel. I couldn't squat that weight, but as you see below, I would say "neither could he."
-

I never go ass to grass. I like my knees and back.
PLing and BBIng are two different animals. That's a legit 500 pound squat. would it get a green light? who gives a fuck...powerlifting is for homos
-
Groink by that reasoning does that mean if I do a half bench press with 405 I can claim a 405lb bench press?
Noone is asking for balls dragging along the floor. Though a full ROM is what people are looking for.
-

plus powerlifters squat with the bar low on there back
bodybuilders are suposed to squat with the bar on there neck or traps
-
A little deeper would have been cool, but made it look easy...

the question was "was it low enough to be legitimately counted?" and the answer is "no". otherwise i do not care whether someone squats ass to grass or does knee bends, to each his own.

I hear what you are saying goud......But that's not a quarter-rep by any stretch IMO. he breaks parallel to me, which is a good squat for a bodybuilder.
You have a small head anyways, what do you know? ;D
-
LOL
it didn't break parallel.
Parallel is when the hip-crease 'breaks' the top of the knee or at least is at same level.
Gis a sec or 2 to I make a quick image.

No. Look at the people that do quarter squats for the core of their leg workout. You'll find they have massive strength (in that set ROM) and sometimes even size but only in the upper half of their thighs, with barely any development in the teardrop or lower half of the thigh. Then they start thinking that other exercises will makeup for poor squat depth, leg exts, hacks etc. When the truth of the matter is nothing can substitute a properly executed squat with the right weight and depth. BTW, all the high school/college/university strength and conditioning coaches I know of at least recommend going to parallel on the squat.
-
The top line is where his hip crease is. i cant be 100% sure but its in and around that area.
The second is top of knee obviously. Its nowhere near IMO dude.

Interesting...that looks really familiar....
::) ::) ::)
-
What?
-
full squat:
-
Granted this is around 80lbs less but you can see my hip crease at least below the top of my kneecap. That is a 5'7 guy spotting me also.
Nice squat Triple_Pickle. You?
-
What?
I'm wondering if my image showed up at all. About 3-5 posts prior to yours, I posted the screen cap you did.
I used Fireshot! to capture the image...and when you said "give me a sec to get an image" and then later posted the image, I'm sitting thinking to myself 'why? I already posted one.'
-
Nice squat Triple_Pickle. You?
yes. still a tiny tit.
-
LOL 245lbs before a piss this morning.
-
i compete in the 105 so stay around 230 ;D

What age and whats you C+J and snatch.
Also do you press? If so what can you strict press?

i am an old fart and started too late ;D the goal for this year is to snatch 110kg and clean and jerk 150kg. i should be doing much more but i am just too slow. i would be happy with a 120kg snatch and a 160kg clean and jerk in the long run.
i can strict press 100kg easilly, not sure about the max as i do mostly push presses. here's 100kg:
-
Nice dude. Oly lifting is very very impressive!
-
For bodybuilding it was terrific, if you wanna see power lifting go to www.getfat.com
hi kevin
-
If he didn't bring it to parallel, he certainly could have. He looked very strong.
-
as always, great job Mr. Levrone 8)
E
-
legit
-

He could have easily gotten a few more....that went right up.
-
I'm gonna go on record and say it wasn't deep enough. Sorry Kevin...I just don't think you owned the lift. And Earl, it's nothing personal...just stating my honest opinion. ;D
-
It was a little high, it did come up easy but that doesn't mean that he could have gone lower and got it up, he could have gone heavier and still got it up but not necessarily lower. If your glutes and hamstrings arent strong enough to get you out of a lower depth it doesn't matter how strong your quads are. Not saying he couldn't do it, just the reasoning of how easily he got 500 equating to him being able to go deeper doesn't go hand in hand.
-
hamstrings and calves too big
-
hamstrings and calves too big
LOL, it's a possibility. ;)
-
still claiming he is "natural." lmao
-
No perfect squat, but u he definitely show he got some strength potential. Some real lifting shoes, some real squat training and I think there is 50pound more even if he go deeper.
But who cares anyway...no one know what pills or injections he take. But he show he got some good genetics for power without being to fat.
-
-
And to think I only got a 550x2 box squat tonight.
-
Why did he want to squat 500lbs?
-
Half squat.
-

Did everyone just kind of glance over this bullshit???
-

Why is it bullshit? You're the guy who gets upset when people question you or other so-called naturals. Plus Levrone tested clean a while back. If anyone should give the benefit of the doubt it's guys like you. :D
-
For a powerlifting meet that would not have been deep enough. For BB training that is a good depth with a narrow stance. He went down past the sticking point. Now he needs to get the reps up there. 8-10 reps with that weight should have some big wheels on Levrone again
-
I want to see his current size of quads.
-

Where have I gotten upset? I have shot back when people question...thats it. I will admit that I defend Layne because it seems people just love to bag on him. Other than that, who else have I defended? As far as "tested clean". You cant be THAT big of a fuck tard to say that proves it....right? Dont you have some stalking to do? I would imagine you havent managed to respond to all of Johns posts. Have a fuck-you day! ;D

Of course I don't believe that proves anything, especially with Palumbo orchestrating the testing. :D
I've been called a hater. But you're a hater too.
Go fuck yourself. ;D
-
Mr. Levrone :o :o
E
-
Squat was high.
That being said, it's very impressive to see Levrone hit those kind of weights after such a long lay off.
Don't know why he's getting up on those kind of weights so fast when he's had back issues in the past.
Hopefully he won't suffer a herniated disc for his bravery.
-

So if you dont believe it....why not simply agree on what I said? Or was it easier just to talk shit?
Eat shit fag. ;D
-
didfferent ranges for different bodytype
he went past parallel paralell is far enough good deep squat what was he meant to do sit on the floor with it?? ??
-
I want to see his current size of quads.
"I want to see the current size of his quads"
Today's english grammar lesson.

Talking a lot of shit for a bunch of pussies that would be crushed by 500

-
Talking a lot of shit for a bunch of pussies that would be crushed by 500
Talking a lot of shit for a pussy who would get crushed by 315 if he went past parallel.
-
Epic 'caring' about powerlifting, you fags. ::)
The lift was sufficient for his purposes, but 500 just isn't that impressive. 600 would be a different story, even if it's only a 1/2 to 3/4 squat.
Isn't he like 45 or 46 years old? Seems smart to look out for his body while showing off for the homos who wanna critique stupid shit like this.
And even though the lift was fine, it was NOT hug-worthy. Fist-bump, maybe a soft high-five, but no hug...that was just gay, even by GetBig standards.
-
Looked like a quarter squat.
bullshit.....that was plenty deep!
-
Another great natural athlete
-
he is bodybuilder. it was a legit squat
-
Talking a lot of shit for a bunch of pussies that would be crushed by 500
agree .. some peole are such form police...
not everyone is built the same and can tough the floor with their ass...
-
Groink by that reasoning does that mean if I do a half bench press with 405 I can claim a 405lb bench press?
Noone is asking for balls dragging along the floor. Though a full ROM is what people are looking for.
goud not everyone is built the same...
so lets say you can squat below parallel, can a guy who goes deeper drags his balls on the floor turn around and call your squat high and be justified because he goes lower??? and berate your for justifiably so....
that was a legit squat imo
people are built different....
-
I never go ass to grass. I like my knees and back.
PLing and BBIng are two different animals. That's a legit 500 pound squat. would it get a green light? who gives a fuck...powerlifting is for homos
i know right, especially when they PL in oiled up thongs
-
(http://secondchancelifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/DeepSquats.jpg)
so this guy could tell everyone on this thread they are doing pussy squats not full range of motion
with his depth
:-\ :-\
-
he is bodybuilder. it was a legit squat
its a half squat by anybodies standards i guess kevin didnt want too much fullness ::)
-
it would be more impressive to see him use less weight for an actual squat
-
No
I mean, for some "rogue" PL federations, sure, but for a legit fed, NOPE.
-
700 in that form would have been ok. Chit I did 4 warmup reps with that weight he used for depth last workout. And I'm much taller, older and more injured lol!
-
-
according to groink, kirk would be too much a queen for onemorerep to bed
-
LEVRONE HADN'T BEEN UNDER THE SQUAT BAR IN 4 AND A HALF YEARS!
AND YES....THAT WAS DEEP ENOUGH.

hahahaha yes, thank you
was thinking the same thing

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away

good post for once.
seems like when it comes to squatting half the lifting population goes full retard. plenty of people will call a parallel squat "half squat" ::)
when you squat down, some people completely effortlessly can sit on the floor... others, like myself, simply cannot go that low, or even approach such depth. if someone makes a concerted effort to "go as low as possible", a lot of people will actually "bottom out" at around parallel... then get criticized for "half squats" ::)... as if they could somehow will themselves to go lower.
the bodybuilding world is filled with petty condescension like this, people calling other people pussies all over the place for stuff they have no control over. "lol why dont you try lifting arms!", "i had bigger legs as a natural", "you need X amount of test to get how big? hahaha" etc etc. i wish i could see these people switch bodies with those they were criticizing, and then laugh as they failed to do any better.

agreed.....but we must remember we are at getbig.....where sarcasm and criticism flows uncontrollably.
-
i just sent you a pm.
-
that was at least parallel.....was it not?
not even close, he was about 8" away from the same zip code as parallel
-
If he wanted to kev could do the 500 for reps , in his prime he was benching 500 for reps
Strong dude... All around big dude!
-
To be honest, I would get crushed under that weight.
-
Squat is the only movement where fantasy are allowed.
quarter half etc etc.
The same range of motion in bench press and a shit storm begin.
This is an half squat.
-
I can squat a lot more when i go deeper than if i stop at Levrone level. I kind of do some "spring" when my butt hits my hells and get some momentum upwards.
-
i would have red lighted it. but saying it was a half squat is taking things a bit far. he's a few training sessions away from getting 500 legitimately. but again. it was obviously a few inches high. anyone who says otherwise most probably has never competed........and can't legitimately squat as much as they tell everyone they can.
-
Didn't Kevin use to rep this on the bench?
-
not even close, he was about 8" away from the same zip code as parallel
not even close?
