How to squat
« on: October 19, 2013, 06:02:25 PM »
This is how to perform a proper high bar full Olympic squat.  Next time you're in your gym watch delusional bodybuilders with a low bar and doing less than half squats.  Those red plates by the way are 55lbs bumper plates.

Bodybuilding is oiled up men posing in thongs to music. Real athletes squat like the picture, jerk off. Dropping Plates you have to be unemployed to follow me around every post to insult me.

that's the least of his worries... look at his feet angled out.. talk about wasting potential power.

feet straight

knees out

turn on the fucking hips!


however, it doesn't mean shit in bodybuilding. many bbers have built great wheels with nothing more than leg presses and leg curls.

Knees are fine. His heals are down and dorsi flexion is perfect.

How would you suggest I learn the mechanics of a proper squat? I've read a lot on bodybuilding, but I still don't understand how it all works as far as legs/hip go.  :-\

Read.

Closer stance, more dorsi flexion, wider stance less dorsi flexion, either way heals stay down. We do a wide box squat.

I can't squat for shit, but I'm really strong.  I've been training for a long time.  I'm starting to wonder if I just don't know how to squat properly.

I'm guessing you've never squatted ass to grass in your life.

Well, that is 120lb guy squatting 576lb, so he has to be done something right to get that level of strength? I mean that among the 250-350lb getbiggers that is impossible task. And how deep is that squat, no no, no can do with those knees already breaking to pieces under the weight of the lard ass and beer belly. But hey, we can be smartasses and criticize the way he is squatting, even we clearly don't know shit about the matter  ;D

Why don't you go on a weightlifting forum then?

All that matters is how your legs look not where you keep the bar or how much weight you squat.

Because in the weightlifting world some little china girl is warming up with Sev's max.
