Knee wraps and weight belt to squat 315?
-
the knee wraps my just be put on snug not super tight. at his age and years of pro wrestling as well as football, a snug knee wraps will help the knees feel good during squats of such volume.
the belt is also a good idea. remember, the rock had a serious back injury during his college playing days at the U. when squatting high reps it is easy have a fail in ones technique. the belt is a good idea to help protect his back from injury.

I have him pegged between 5th-7th place.

there is no scientific proof that belts and knee wraps protect from injury...
numerous studies have proven that belts actually increase the risk of injury

"Studies suggest..." as Fat Panda would say.

x2. His knees are probably shot to hell so he would be an idiot not to stabilize it somehow.

Give him some credit full range,not one of those guys who loads it up and does 6 inch reps

99.9% of Getbig couldn't do it.

Well if the studies say so, Maybe if you spent more time in the gym you could discredit the "studies" thought your own knowledge.

Actually with shot knees and a $20million a film movie career, there's no reason for him to be squatting at all. But then again, Mr. Johnson loves hanging out with the boys.

When I was in the Navy they spent millions of dollars on back braces (those elastic belts with suspenders) for the aircrew guys that would have to lift heavy aircraft parts into place. There were more back injuries with the belts than there were without them, so the Navy scrapped them.

Fuck studies, sometimes you have to use some commonsense. In my case I've been using wraps since I started squatting over 35 years ago with no more than a meniscus tear when I was 41. Belt's are not for lower back support but rather transverse abdominus. Where have these injuries occurred with the use of belts?

Interesting. I have been doing squats (up to 405) and DL's (up to 495) for the last 20 years. I never wear a belt or use knee wraps, and I have never had any injuries.

This does not discount their use at all. It simply means that you do not require them and have been fortunate (and strong enough) to do without them. Again. Your not using them does in no way discount their benefit to others. Congratulations on training as you do! It really is something admirable especially so since the greats of the past used neither wraps, straps or belts. Good job, sir!

Hey, just saying. It's the way I was taught at a young age and it's stuck. I can still get a 520 box squat on a 14'' box at 50. I just can't recover like I used too. However, I teach my athletes to not use a belt but IMO, wraps are necessary at a young age (15U). If it works for you, then it works.

I'm about to turn 42, and I sure don't recover like I used to. I figure if I'm going to be one of the older gyms in my gym, I will also be one of the strongest ;D.

well siad ..

picture perfect form
i'm impressed

Looks to me like he's on a box. Can't tell how many reps he's done from a snapshot. Not big weight for someone his size or juicing.

he is in a up coming body building movie with marky mark. these pics could be from training for that movie.
it's about 2 bodybuilders in fla who get caught up in kidnapping and stuff, based on a true story.
-
He could drop his elbows to help maintain an erect torso (no homo), but otherwise ... good for him. 315 for 20 is no small potatoes. And he's going lower than most of the pros, so ...

Dude is huge!

Plus, he's still wrestling part-time.

Haha, please show me those studies? U think think any phd doctor in the university would do a scientific research if the belt increase injuries or not in gymactivities?
Or you mean your own friends studies maybe...

Most strength coaches will have their athletes use belts of top sets. Teaches athletes to breathe through the diaphram a LOT better.

Yes it`s also well studied that this is because of superman syndrome, you have increased strength with reduced feedback. So you push and push until you break. I use a wrist wrap and belts all the time outside of the gym, however it won`t make you stronger, it just makes it easier for you to maintain proper technique.

Joe,
Since you mentioned that you used knee wraps for leg press I actually tired them (and I dont use weights that I used to, and try to keep reps higher) and have to say that my knees actually felt better. Leg presses today SUCK BALLS with how they are angling the foot pads. Generally speaking, how tight do you wrap your knees when doing this?

I actually find the leg press to be harder on my knees than squats. When you think about it you generally have to use twice the weight on leg press to get the same benefit. So as where you might be using 300 on the squat, now you are using 600 on the leg press. Sure it is easier on your back and feels more comfortable but now you have 600 on your knees instead of 300. Also the force is now being applied to your knees from a reverse direction, the bottom instead of the top, which some might argue was never meant to be. Good idea to wrap if going heavy on leg press.

Do you guys think you can get to his size naturally ? i'd love to be that huge one day

Or maybe you should follow a few courses or read a few books from Stuart McGill (Ultimate Back fitness & Performance, Chapter 6, The Question of Back Belts, page 174-186 or Low Back Disorders, Chapter 10, The Question of Back Belts, page 193-201) who did lots of research on the lower back and is the leading researcher in the field of lower back pain.
Look him up on youtube as well

That is because you never squatted heavy! The belst does prevent injuries, until some point though...
