It's powerlifting man. It's really not that far from the norm.


For the free throw comment, thanks for the save, I know fuck all about basketball terminology, haha.

I am having trouble seeing what many here believe is a good "gym" lift. Am I the only one who sees his knees rebend and him almost fall? The spotter didn't just help him a little bit, he kept him from falling into the bottom half of a goodmorning. If no spotter was there, the OP would have completely missed the lift and the bar would have landed on the pins. Is that to say the OP couldn't get it? No, because if he keeps his weight back I think he finishes it.


No, you aren't the only one. That was a good effort but not a good lift (meet, gym, or otherwise).

LOL at supposed Powerlifters not knowing who the OP is.

Question for you man, how do you structure your training? Particularly with squats, do you have cut a lot of weight to make 198's or do you feel you're built for the lift and have the capability to squat a lot without adding a lot of weight gain?

Im really glad Pwnisher has been quoting this Big Red Machine idiot's quotes, because I added that dumbass to my ignore list a long time ago (for good reason obviously).

What gets me is if he is a lot weaker than the guy he is critiquing, why the fuck does he think he is even qualified to give advice? That drives me insane nowadays...every fucking keyboard warrior is a god damned expert, even though he hasn't accomplished shit and is weak as fuck. Your advice is not worth a watery shit. Less advice giving, more training, and maybe eventually you wont be laughed at in the ladies section.

my squat training is structured as follows, 50% x 5, 60% x 4, 70% x 3 x 2, 80% x 3 x 5
then back down to 50% x 5, 60% x 4, 70% x 3 x 5 all based on my max. I usually dont have to cut too much weight usually 5-7Ibs. I try to put on a decent amount of weight before my lifts at the meet, but usually come out to 205-207Ibs, will try to put on more this time. Some times i can squat relatively the same weight(@ 198Ibs) as compared to being heavier, depends on how i feel, rest, diet etc.

Awesome, do you follow the same routine for your other lifts?

uuuugh! that was ugly as hell, form was horrendous, the fact he nearly made that weight like that shows he has a TON of raw strength. \

that hurt me just looking at it.

I agree that it is a gym lift, dont nit-pick on the depth.

Looking to add 20Ibs to my squat and dead lift and about 10Ibs to my bench. My previous total was 1630Ibs

I tend to agree with this. Ugly fucking squat.

But if you had put up a video of you burying 585, no one would be saying shit.

Strong as fuck, man. Good lifting.
