well its easy when you weigh  600 pounds  ::)

Comes another fool post from a guy who knows nothing.

Easy, if you weigh 600? You're a jackass.

Eat your face off to 400 pounds, work out and then let's see you front squat even 450, dumb ass.  ::)

Hossein was so dominant i recall Turkey offering him 10 million if he represented them and he knocked them back. Very honorable guy, his "protege" Behdad Salimi is the only guy that approaches his level in the modern era IMO.

yeah...... if it wasn't Greeks you would be a monkey sitting on a tree and eating your banana you moron.

The greeks were so good , I think they even invented monkeys and bananas

Pity it didn't last

Similar to egypt, great ancient civillization , and now, not much to look at

Greeks are known for three things:

-Their philosophers.

-The Olympics

-Being the birthplace of Homosexuality, still being a place where homosexuality flourish.



They're also credited with creating modern laws and governance, ironic since they can't govern themselves
If you meet a greek today, they still appear philosophers, they know everything...

With regards to homos, I think the turkish invasion also helped them get used to the cock in recent times
 Although their great alexander also pioneered it.

The Iranians love him - his wedding was a national televised event in the country.

It makes me wonder what would they do if he ever tested positive.......

Hahaha - love my cynical 2007 posts!  ;D

I think the front squat isn't harder than the regular squat...

I don't know but I was between 220 and 230 for sure.

A front squat as easy as a regular squat? I cant believe a pro bb can say something like that... Please explain the 300 pounds difference in world records. I have trained with hundreds of elite weightlifters who both squatted and front squatted multiple times per week and ive never seen anyone who couldnt squat at least 30 kg more than the front squat.

Taranenko could frontsquat 660 for a triple.

Taranenko was such a bullshitter. He could barely stand up with the 266 kg world record.  ::) Then he has the nerve to call Pisarenko a weak squatter when he didn't struggle with his cleans at all.   >:(

What I'm tryin to say...every people is doing regular squats and then when they try the front squats they start complaining like pussies... Oh, my lower back hurt, my shoulders hurt, I can't breath...

And then guys who are doing regular squats with 450-500 lbs...dying with 315 on front squats...which is ridiculous...

Or guys with 315 regular squats...playing with 185 on front squats... LOL!

strongest legs in the world

You do know squatting world-class poundage is MUCH less about leg strength than it is trunk and hip strength, right?

;D legs built by 600 lb front squats

Tom never front squatted anything NEAR 600 pounds. In fact, his thing was almost entirely back squats.

pyros dimas from greece is a very good olympic weightlifter. I'm proud to be greek. I think he retired in the 2004 olympic games. Hes won many bronze titles. He is my favorite olympic weightlifter.  The thing I like about him is that he has a good build.. not fat or has any saggy gut.  His weight is 180-185lbs and he does front squats with 440lbs for reps.  Dont care what anyone says.. greeks are good athletes. Its amazing someone who weighs under 200lbs can put up that kind of weight.  Heres some links to see for yourself.

Pl Style squats: You're absolutely right.

However frontsquats and oly squats are largely dependent on leg strength.

"Only" 550 lbs but with a pause : Klokov Dmtry



This a Front Squat.

Venceslas Dabaya was a great front squater too (5*440 lbs):



Igor Lukanin (628 lbs) :



Mikhail Koklyaev (688 lbs) :



Julia Konovalova (418 lbs) :



etc

Front squat is a diffrent animal from back squat. It's very hard, painful but il build mobility, core strength, quads muscle mass and it's the foundation for olympic lifts.
