While geared powerlifting, and some of the powerlifting rules is a bit of a joke, it's very obvious that clips of the worst powerlifting form were cherry picked with the best olympic squat form in order to paint powerlifting in an even worse light than it truly is. It's a meme video after all. Lots of raw powerlifters are using very respectable squat form with good depth and a pause. The paused olympic squats were very impressive, but bouncing out of the hole (hammies off the calves) like you would for a snatch or clean and jerk makes the squat easier. I find it easier getting more reps out when I go ATG and bounce off my calves as opposed to proper powerlifting form and pausing for a brief second at an unrested position. The sticking point of a squat is right at parallel, so going deeper to get some momentum off your calves doesn't make it any harder unless you have a good long pause at the bottom.
EXACTLY. Pretty much all of these videos are just the worst from powerlifting and the best from weightlifting. You can easily make a video the other way around.
That settles it; the olympic guy looks like a poster for health compared to the (admittedly strong) powerlifter who looks prime for heart disease and barely moves.
Olympic is body builder form on heavy weight. Power lifting is ego lifting in a partial range of motion to pretend you can lift more than you can actually lift.
Yes true. People just look at the depth and never give credit to the strength. I always found most weightlifters to be very egotistical and narcissistic because they make depth their entire personality
First there isn’t an Olympic Squat There are two lifts. Snatch and then Clean and Jerk. Both of those lifts rely on the athletes getting their body under a bar the relying on legs to drive it up. In both cases the bar is in front of their head or overhead Powerlifting however has a squat just by itself. So there is no direct comparison
Power lifting bench is also the weirdest, you almost have to be possessed in some shape or form to perform something like that and call it a bench press. Sumo deadlift, Partial squats, Possessed bench press. Powerlifting is a joke.
IPF standard squats, which is hip crease below the knee, these are the equipped untested non IPF standard west side sumo squats. The meme should show Ray Williams raw squatting!
Have you ever stepped foot in a gym? Doing half the rom will not make you do twice the weight. When you graduate elementary school you will learn basic physics and realize that you’re wrong.
The second Olympic squat pause at the bottom was incredible.
One works the legs, the other works the ego.
Is it true you can catch AIDS by watching powerlifting? Gayest "sport" ever😂
From weightlifter's point of view powerlifters do half squat :D

Power lifters squat as low as their pecker is long. About half an inch.
That settles it; the olympic guy looks like a poster for health compared to the (admittedly strong) powerlifter who looks prime for heart disease and barely moves.

Even Laura Phelps squat was about double the weight than anything the olympic guys lifted
Yes true. People just look at the depth and never give credit to the strength. I always found most weightlifters to be very egotistical and narcissistic because they make depth their entire personality
I cried when I watched Klokov's squat, the music was so beautiful and well composed as well.
LAURAAAAA
Is that countryside powerlifting 10 years ago??? Today's IPF World 2024 lifts are MUCH cleaner than this
Powerlifting is the most cringiest sport ever
you try getting under 1210 at a meet then
Agree. People just bash the depth and never credit strength

I only squat 225 but at least my butt touched the floor
Powerlifting looks cringe here
If you say squats are bad for you're knees then youre face is bad for you're sex life
The assisted powerlifting is a joke, they get so triggered when even people who don’t lift laugh at it.
Wide stance sumo nonsense is just a cheating scam.
Was training squat in the gym, an intellectual approached me and told me i should do a half way bullshit squat instead. The society now
Weightlifters do the most beautiful squats I’ve ever seen, Tom Platz did the same squats. Powerlifter squats are ridiculous.
Lesson here is, if you want to learn to squat, learn from the Olympic lifters. Clean squats, with no compression suits and wraps like a mummy
Both disciplines are day and night
Olympian’s prob laugh at power lifters like how power lifters laugh at cross fitters..

Why is the champions league theme playing lol
The powerlifters shown here were disrespecting the Greek gods....
Funny thing is those “ powerlifter “ like making joke of the crossfitter 😅
Cringe
What is the song?
What a stupid video, you're not comparing it to powerlifting squats, they're ALL NULL.
Most boring video I watched today

파립은 메탈음악 나오는게 졸라웃기네 ㅋㅋㅋ
It is obvious that by doing half a squat you will lift twice as much
Have you ever stepped foot in a gym? Doing half the rom will not make you do twice the weight. When you graduate elementary school you will learn basic physics and realize that you’re wrong.
The weight being lifted should correlate to the distance the weight travels.
sumo squats wtf
squatting isnt even an olympic competition lol thats just how they train for the snatch and the clean and jerk
I wish the music was switched. ;)
Whats that? Sumo squat ? 😂
Olympic squats vs ego lifting squats
The second video wasn’t even a squat… It was what not to do video
New video title “Olympic squats vs *equiped* powerlifting squats
God dang, that's negative range of movment 💀
0:45 dude was thinking if he's gonna press it overhead...
Equipped lifting is a joke
Even powerlifters hate these “squats”
Love the champions leauge theme song 🔥
