Bhank: Latest news and misadventures

108 is my favourite

Regarding squats, and not commenting on bhanks specifically, one basic way of fixing GM looking squats, as well as problems hitting depth, is of course elevating the heels. If I'm not mistaken most raw powerlifters today use Olympic squat shoes. Before squat suits there were some very ugly squatters, even champions. Even today some aren't very beautiful. When suits came in vogue squat shoes were used so you could remain more upright and take advantage of the suit and most squatted high bar. And now with raw most squat pretty high bar I think because it's too hard to hit depth otherwise. Not everyone can or maybe even shouldn't try, squatting like a champion Olympic lifter because the they don't have the structure for it. Obviously many taller guys especially have problems staying upright. I'm not saying you shouldn't demand proper depth if someone claims they are doing full squats though. I trained with an elite PLer for 15 years and he always had to do this ugly pelvic tilt, "butt wink", at the bottom to hit depth when raw, no way to keep back straight. 

Depth isn't necessarily all that anyway.

I used to be a very deep squatter and all it was is that I'd become accustomed to sitting back on my legs.  You can generate a bounce on that.  If you asked me to squat to parallel at the time, I'd hate it because I wasn't trained for arresto momentum at that position - so actually, parallel was much harder for me.

Yes going below parallel is an arbitrary thing and for muscle building not necessarily that important. Depends on what you're trying to hit and if you think working at maximal muscle lengths is critical like Israetel says LOL. But clearly you can build a lot of quad mass with shallow squats too. I tried increasing the stretch on leg extensions and had a tear that prevented leg training for a couple of months
I love sitting in the bottom position on squats for a couple of seconds though.

I mentioned Joel Steedman upthread. That guy is a joker too IMO, only in the other direction

Oh come on Hanks this is such a bitch move. 

Bitches make bitch moves, perfectly appropriate

[Hulkotron]

Ze's a good 6" from hitting legit squat depth.

[Soul Crusher]

Bhank is poisting somewhere else for sure.  Only a matter of time till Em finds it and shuts that down too.

Extremely emasculating, wherever he's posting though, he's certainly still reading here.  Meltdown of peace to get out of having to admit failure likely knowing he won't even try

[Flexacon]

I spoke to Emily and she said she had nothing to do with Brian deleting his facebook

He quit facebook to avoid talk about squat depth and the 405lbs squat and/or to avoid questions about law school

He probably returns on xmas to post a 405lbs half squat and then deletes FB again (in his retarded brain he'll call that a win)

[BigRo]

Santa better deliver.

[Humble Narcissist]

Santa better deliver.

He always delivers.

yes now he didnt get kicked out he never enrolled

but still attended 'freshers' events to get to know the other students he wouldnt be studying with.

seems logical.

[Rambone]

Will Rosie have more testicular fortitude than Getbiggers did with Bhanks? Rambone says yes!

That's a rather low bar, Rambo

Did you give condolences on behalf of GB for what she must endure dealing with him?   

[Lartinos]

Does this mean we will never see the watch collection again?

Fixed.

[BigRo]

7 days Brian.

[Hulkotron]

7 days Brian.

He probably tried the 405 and hurt himself and that is why he's vanished.

Most probable reason, loser.
