There is a guy wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt that looks like he wants to cornhole you.

Cool video.   Gym contest? Team contest? Whats the deal? 

[Mattyh7688]

Thanks everyone and lol at some of the comments. I expect nothing less than some interesting/funny comments.

Cool video.   Gym contest? Team contest? Whats the deal? 

It was something called the Turkeysquat haha. It was made up about 10 days before thanksgiving to take place the day before Thanksgiving. It originally started with the #2 and #3 guy talking shit to each other and it developed into a contest I got into. We had barely anytime to prepare for it, but I opened my fat stupid mouth and bet $1,000 against anyone who could beat me so it got a ton of hype going.. no one took the bet though, despite others including people at the gym certain others would win..I won by 5 reps lol.

you are a beautiful man

[tommywishbone]

Sweet. I love a little gamble in the gym. I've won & lost many bets in the squat rack or on the platform.

If you went 1st and set the number at 41 that's cool of you. Having that number out there gives somebody an exact rep count to shoot for. I definitely would have been in on the bet- just not for $1,000. That much causes some hurt feelings.

Ha, that fella was giving him the Pvt. Pyle stare for sure.

Really strong lifting. It would be interesting to see how many reps with bodyweight you could do.

It definitely got me a bit more motivated to make sure I didn't have to eat my words lol. We drew straws, and I was actually last which was an advantage. I was not stopping until 40+ though. I think this was far from my best though.. I thought I would be at 45-50. I hit a peg in the squat rack and the warm ups were all rushed and screwed up, not that any of this matters at all lol.

I am gonna do a bros vs pros squat challenge whenever it is next. With knee wraps(I didn't use them for this) and time to prepare and train for it, I think I could hit 50.

thanks! I am about 240 now at 5'8, so I am not sure tbh. Would be an interesting thing to try.

Wraps, power belt tight but not too tight, and you can hit 50.

Am I  seeing wraps or just "sleeves" in the video?

Just rehband knee sleeves.. I don't have an ACL in my left knee, so i pretend those are protection lol.

[SF1900]

5'8"?

In before Tito says, "Midget filth"

[Nicademus]

Strong dude.  Good job.

[Master Blaster]

Dude, you are very strong, don't get me wrong. But you aren't even parallel. Thats a football squat. Better than mine for 41 reps, but still partials.

Here's a dude doing full 500 pound squats for 23 reps.

[Mattyh7688]

5'8 is definitely midget filth.. Unfortunately I don't lie about my height and say I am 5'10 like IFBB pros do. Every 5'7 pro I met over the last 5 years(which is a lot) is at 5'5 or lower lol.

lol I figured this comment would come up.. we had a very good and legit powerlifter doing the spotting to make sure we were deep enough. If you look closely, there is a black band in the cage which was measured at below parallel for us.. I am not saying every squat was perfect though, but if it was a different camera angle I think your opinion would change...

On a side note... Platz is king, I am nowhere close to him and wont be for a very very very long time, if ever.

I don't know how he did it, that dude had some of the lamest legs I've ever seen.

The reps were fine for a gym contest, having seen a couple of dozen of these type of events over the years, they reps would pass at 99% of them.

very well, I stand corrected

[Mattyh7688]

very well, I stand corrected

This was around 30 reps too.. I think this is pretty low and parallel... Maybe not tom platz low though

A better angle..

Oh well it doesnt matter.. I wasnt going for a world record squat

[Bevo]

Seriously I just want to see a pic of your girl no offense 

[nzmusclemonster]

Pathetic half squats.

Kill yourself.

[basil]

Stellar attention whoring for the sake of bragging rights.  Give yourself a pat on the back.  Keep up the good work.
