Awesome squat

Same video but from a different angle

[illuminati]

I don' think so - though not on film, Sultan Rakhmanov front Squated
770lbs for 5reps no belt or wraps....   Incredible

[Fortress]

Too many nutso performances to single out one.

Eddie Hall’s 10 with 760 with no spot, belt, or wraps, is a STAGGERING display of strength.

It is, definitely - only I doubt he could've Front Squat Full depth
770lbs x5.

Eddies deadlift video where he starts with 1plate aside & goes up to 8
aside & then back down is right up there as the most impressive feat of strength ever.

[affeman]

Way more impressive than this fat lard doin' some good mornings half reps

I always remember this one.

[Humble Narcissist]

Platz 50 rep squats.

[falco]

Platz always had a dramatic display when squatting:

This is more impressive, imho:

And still unmatched to this day.

Plenty of guys were bragging on YT that they broke Platz' record (some of em outweighing him by 100 pds lol), but everyone is just doing some pathetic good mornings quarter reps instead of legit ATG Platz squats

[wes]

Notice Platz squats with a fairly close stance while the guys who tried to match the challenge used a wider stance,thus using more hip,erectors, and glutes.

Neither of these other 2 are anywhere near full deep squat as Tom
plus both out weigh him - WSM Hooper by at least 100=lbs
Tom beats them both easily.

This makes you realize even more how crazy his strength feature was back then decades ago at his bodyweight

Nice!

I've done 225lbs. for 100 reps and 300lbs. (it might've been 315lbs. but I am almost certain it was 300!) for 50 reps.   My last day in a gym I trained at I did 515 for 20, 535 for 20, 585 for 5 and then back down to 515 for 20.  I changed gyms and they didn't always have enough weight so I just did more reps.  Leg extensions were done with up to 750lbs.  Two coaches estimated my max squat to be at least 700lbs. but to be honest I never tried as I preferred lighter weights for high reps so that I wouldn't be injured.

I do not have knee problems from squatting.  I am a handicapable person from a few work related incidents as well as ones that occurred in the course of my normal life.   I am not on "disability" as I was raised to do my best to avoid that.   I am quite possibly the world's worst bench presser as at a body weight of 250lbs. I could only do a single of 350lbs.

I really miss being kinda strong.  Age and injuries or as my older friends used to call it, "life" as taken me down a few notches.  I really enjoy reading stuff that all here have done (except bhanky) as it brings back memories and I very much admire those that train hard to be the strongest they can be.

Some people like yourself are squat freaks.
Holy muscle Ben Okboke went to my old gym. Squatted 405 for 30 reps.
Benched 275 for 3

I'm pretty sure no one else ever has done a more impressive squat workout. Nothing on the net even comes close, not Platz, not anyone. Fortress said Platz' best was 315 for 50 but that workout with the 500+ sets is completely insane. Especially at 250? And steroid free? Nothing I've heard or seen comes close. Anyone else? There are humble freaks here and there but you must realise this sounds unbelievable.

I friend of mine said he saw WSM Magnus Samuellson miss a 440lbs squat and I saw him fail a 380lbs bench after 3 reps. WTF 

When I got on the net the first time I remember some fella did 97 reps with 2 plates and it was circulated widely.

[Hulkotron]

A workout with 65 reps of 515+ lbs is certainly a workout.

Back when Pudz was winning, I remember hearing that "real" strongmen didn't like WSM or take it seriously because the events were more predicated on endurance e.g. carrying stuff, and on moving moderate weight for high reps.

Yeah but there's no way a WSM could fail a 440lbs squat, he should almost be able to do it standing on one leg. The bench was at an exhibition, like here's WSM and he's going to demonstrate something impressive 

Magnus wasn't the best on powerlifts from what I remember, I think he had a grip out of this world though, but there are some minimums you'd think they'd not fall under even if taking some down time.

Kwon has posted pics of wimmens squatting impressively.

Maybe Magnus was off the sauce.
