The high bar squat is so beautiful.
Will Cruz The atg high bar is so beautiful
Will Cruz indeed bro! The only way it was intended since it’s invention man!
Bombareli i physically can't do that
@@Tim_Marshall73 if you train your mobility and stretch every day u will can
And work you hip and ankle mobility (dorsiflexion)
@@afb9176 it's also not good for your back and knees
Leg day... The term gives that day a special meaning. Training legs. But if you start weightlifting, this term simly disappears. Squatting 4-7 times a week becomes a must, and leg day is not special anymore. I think people who coin that term don't train legs often enough.
The best thing I ever learned and put into my regiment was Heavy/Medium/Light days. I was never a die hard so I did Heavy/Light days. Legs twice a week. Before I only did legs once a weak, couldn't heal fast enough in less than 8/9 days. Once I incorporated the light day, I could do legs heavy every 7 days. The light day just pumps blood into the sore muscles and heals them faster.
SheepDog7071 hmm active recovery..thanks for the tip.
Heavy/medium/light is great indeed.
not everyone wants big ass legs. theres alot of problem you have when you big legs
you look like you squat 4-7 times a year
0:40 that nigga front squatted that shit... bruh
WatRdoose XD wait, how much is that?
Mi Alva 6 plates on each side plus barbell, 585 front squat little bit past parallel, and usually front squat is harder than back squat. Much respect.
time Wizard 250 kg I think because blue plates are 20 kg (44 lbs) an he has 1 yellow -15kg
time Wizard "dont ever fucking use pounds"...proceeds to use pounds..nice contradiction m9.and its a 280kg squat so yeah,it is a 6 plate squat.
Can those spotters even do anything at that point
Eric Cartman 😂😂that was funny
wheres clarence
Lifting
clarence lives at home with both parents, and clarence's parents have a real good marriage...
@@srthyrdyjhy so bad squatters have parents with bad marriage? 🤣
@@ianpaulcana3088 according to Eminem, yes!
Idalberto Arranda has the greatest high bar squat ever (1:40), the speed is phenomenal!!
I think you'd change your mind if you knew that 0:25 is 959lbs on the bar. I am not kidding, the name of the lifter is Shane Hamman.
@@makaan699Are you sure? it doesn't look like that much weight. Maybe it just looks deceiving.
@@Winterov absolutely, he did that in a proper sanctioned meet several times. Look up "shane hamman 410kg squat", the speed is just phenomenal.
0:32 that this guy is mobile enough for a front squat like that is really impressive. Damn I'm baffled
+Too Long Didn't Watch Houssein Rezazadeh is 2 times olympic champion :P
+Too Long Didn't Watch Just goes to show that all these people who say they can't conventional deadlift or squat to depth are usually just excuse makers.
Not to detract from the guy because he is a fuckin beast, but typically people can front squat deeper than they can backsquat if their back is strong enough to maintain an upright position. If your back can keep from buckling, the weight pretty much pushes your ass cheeks to the ground on a front squat.
Too Long Didn't Watch I think those are crossfit plates .
Too Long Didn't Watch isn't him Savickas?
Kali muscle needs to watch this
Sean William So does Phil Heath xD
Merlin Tom It does not mater for them.They are bodybuilders on a lot of drugs.As long as they do something,they will keep growing.
17MXT you're ignorant if you think none of these guys are on steroids. Olympic weightlifting at the top level requires drugs just like bodybuilding
Kotally Savage Where did I say that they aren't?
17MXT it's more about injury prevention than "being able to do anything". they simply dont need to risk their livelihood by showing off to teenagers online
How the fuck can you front squat that much weight?
steroids and years of consistent training
Genetics play a big role in FS in my experience. Even bigger than the back squat and DL... Because with FS, there aren't many tweaks you can do to your form to match your proportions.
daft tron Record is 400 by Jezza Uepa, before that it was 9 plates, 855 lbs or387 kg by Derek Kendall
onLYbyMoon In my experience, the Olympic Front Squat dands a fuckton of pure leg strength, while the cross arm front squat requires a fucking shit ton of shoulder strength, look at Kendall
These guys are Olympians, enough said
like for max aita
God. 4x bodyweight for a double. WTAF.
crittoprrr ?
The key hear is that MOST of they guys have the right femur to torso ratio to squat very well. Does not mean that they don't work hard
Poopnoodle36 what do you mean? Short femurs long toros or what?
@@SquatBenDeadlift yes thats what he meant
This guys hasn't heard of a low bar squat. 🤷
Koklayev has long femurs dude
I bet Ivan Djuric loves this video
I used to compete in bench press competition. But I regret not getting more into legs. If I could go back & do it again I'd be more into total body lifting.
Guy at :25 is just dangerous... there's no way at that speed that the spotters could help or save him. Speed kills!!!
Shane Hamman is one of the greatest squatters to ever live lol
I wish I had Max Aita as a coach he's a crazy squatter
That's nice. Vlad squatted 505kg just with wraps couple of days ago
The guy at 1:38 is doing deep squats like I've just started doing about a month ago. I can only do 115 lbs 5 times. I'll be happy as heck if I ever get to 200 lbs in my lifetime.
200 is achievable for everyone for a few months for you at most
How much can u do now?
I hope you achieved that goal.
not bad bro ;). Keep making videos
Third one was Shane Hamman.. Squatted 1008 lb.
Good work
who is the last picture (not video)?
max aita..the best squatter in the world.
LIGHTWEIGHT BABYYYYYY
SONG: Shinedown - Enemies
My boy thanks!
0:54 dang seth rogen
1:04 - 300 kg without hands, wow that's crazy shit.
Yooo that front squat
Is that no hands @ 1.03 ? Crazy stuff
Oh my goooooood!!!!@☆☆•
wow.
Front squat @ 4 x bodyweight?!?
Very nice. Could use a little extra motivation for leg day.
good god these are some damn impressive squats , even for some non-powerlifters.
cheers bro
Plenty of weightlifters are better back squatters than powerlifters
damn how they squat that low without falling backwards
2:05 60kg bulgarian lifter! With the knees shoulderwide facing forward!!!
Ivan Ivanov
This is hardcore
123 quarter squatters disliked this video
Some great squats (e.g. 23 and 2:31). Maximum lifts, but a surprising amount of poor lifts too (lack of hip drive).
Nah. Rippetoe sucks ass. Hip drive is overrated. Hip drive is a very automatic phenomena when doing squats.
What are you talking about? Hip drive is a big source of power. Any pro guys these days use hip drive. All max rep squats have some element of it. Otherwise it's a quad dominant squat, which have their place (e.g. front squats or hindu squats even), but I'd never touch a max without it.
Rob Smith hip drive is simple. Push your knees out and voila... Hip drive. Simmons and Rippetoe made the whole thing sound complex so they can fool people into thinking they are experts.
Rippetoe talks about thighs out being the "master cue" and often refers to it as the only thing most people need to focus on actually. He then says there is more to it and that's not enough for everyone to focus on. But in the end he promotes thighs out as number one
Why the fuck would you need hip drive if you are doing a high bar squat?
Omg, I thought the first guy was going to die; he had no control on the downward movement whatsoever.
Bob Smith he wasn't strong enough to lift it so he dropped and bounced, it's the same thing as bouncing the weight off your chest for a bench press
Bob Smith No it's not.
Bob Smith he just dropped halfway down the squat probably for stretch reflex he knows what he's doing man
I lot of dislikes from 7-ply equipped low bar sumo quarter squatters I see :))
2.16 Do not front squat like this unless you want a serious injury.
name of the song
song name please
KNEES?
💪✊👍🔥🏆🏆🏆
How do people squat that low without bringing their heels up?
David in Suspenders Olympic squat shoes and good ankle mobility
have you guys heard of Clarence kennedy? I'm pretty sure he's in the recommended video, go watch him cause that's how you actually squat
olympic weightlifting squat have the best form
shane hamman's 1rm bar speed looks like my 5 rm bar speed :|
This hurt my knees
Who is this guy on end. 24 plates WTF
👍👍🏋️♀️🎼👌👌
blasphemous to put such beautiful squats with this music
i do football and they make us go that low
Some pretty aggressive comments from a bunch of guys who likely squat 225 for 6 reps every 10 days. Some of these guys are hitting PR's in these clips. The risk of injury is very high, they know. It's not going to be their prettiest lift, they know. Go move some weight
Go forth, not fourth.
the guy from 1:25-1:39 was faulting on the drive up in his squat. The knees bow in on the drive which can severely damage the rotary of the knees. This could lead to knee pain and even collapse. Drive through the heels and snap up, keep the knees pointed out in a parallel, 90 degree plain for stability and control.
That's Pyrro Dimas. But of course you know better than the best weightlifter of modern times. lol
Bailey Eastwood man its bodyweight *3 and their form is crazy anyway for whose weights... how the fuck can you give them lessons
Lucas Freire Chakarov, not Dimas
They are indeed amazing, few-in-a-lifetime squatters, but faulty biomechanics will lead to injury regardless of skill. Like twisting your neck around to look straight behind you will tear your neck, knees caving in like that will over time tear something.
You can get away with it a few times though, and I'm pretty certain this only happened in his most heavy lifts :)
larry wheels
Ignorant people are going to watch this video and then go make comments about bodybuilders and half squats.
was the first one really Pat Mendes?
jimmy roel Yes
jimmy roel Yes, it was when he was competing at 105+ he's slimmed down a lot since then!
TIME TO RACK IT
That is the highest raw squat ass to the grass!
Aleksandar Mahovac Nope, check out Mart Seim's 400 kg squat.
... and try to keep the back straight without being bent forward.
Nah. Imma go third and bench.
I hate to break it to some of you who are having orgasms about this video, but not all of these are considered perfect form and in fact some of them are flat out dangerous. 2:23 for example. The inward rotation of the femur-to-hip joints at the bottom of the movement before extension is highly, highly dangerous especially under that kind of weight. This could lead to shearing of the ball and socket cartilage, sciatica and major back injury. During the full motion of a squat your knees are supposed to maintain the same plane with very little variation from start to finish. Certainly not the type of lateral rotation displayed here.
lol there are more examples of olypmpic weight lifters bringing their knees in a little bit to drive out of the hole then there are people hurting themselves based on what you said, stop chatting shit you moron.
Imagine critiquing elite level athletes who squat 3x then what you can lmao
@@BigAssNigga311 That doesn't make it any less dangerous. Go fuck your mother.
@@digitalvii I imagine the comment was more about warning newer trainees to "do as they say, not as they do". Successful record attempts by superstars are, as you say, a bit beyond critique. But noone should look at the technical execution all of these lifts, as something worth emulating in daily training.
of course an armchair physiotherapist, if you were a weightlifting coach who has brought many athletes to win many national medals there would be some merit to your advice, but I suspect you're just a nobody with no medals, no achievements and no coaching qualifications. So shut the f*ck up lmao
The best way to learn proper form/technique is to put a chair behind you and touch your ass to the chair when you squat, like your actually going to sit down.
no, u don't put a chair.You squat ass to grass, performing it like your sitting back in a chair.You reached depth when u can't sit lower anymore.Simple.
PS: That is only for building muscle(power) and not for doing max weight squats(even for max one u should go as low as you can).
PSS: Don't you dare say it will fuck your knees up, because that a big fat lie.That shit is mostly caused by muscle imbalance and can be fixed
Red_Spark no knee pain is usually bad form like some of the people in this video where their knees cave in. Long term fucks you up
Kotally Savage what does that have to do what i said?kneed caving is in bad(these dudes are doing one rep max so the form does tend to break down, they don't let the knees cave in when they are training).My comment above states that ass to grass squats will not damage your knees(some people think is does and they are 100% wrong).
Red_Spark you said knee pain was due to imbalances but it's mostly just people caving their knees in. I know form is worse for a max but they really shouldn't attempt a max if their knees are going to cave in. Also some people in this video knees caved in when doing multiple reps so it's clearly in training too not just for a max
See the thing is.When you attempt you max lift.Your from will break down and from that u can see what parts of the lift you need to work on.Ill say it again.Your form should be as close to perfect as possible when TRAINING.My initial comment was about squat depth.And how you should go deep while keeping proper form.Going ass to grass will not make you knees cave in unless the weight is too heavy.If you never done ass to grass your lifting weight will have to be lowered.
squats are scary
Ker Plunk At first they might be intimidating but when done right, squats are the king of movements!
kessi891
Yea, that glute burn
cain marko
thanks for that interpretation of my name, i like it
scary,with,those,weights.lol,they,are,strong,as,fuck
im at 3 plates boys
Why do all the weightlifters' knees buckle in and go back out when going up?
Rotem Ovadia making room for the hips, then fast extention required the knees to get back in line with the foot
Rotem Ovadia plus it engage the much larger, stronger, more explosive glutes required to achieve extension
Andrew Bonnette does it increase risk of injury or is this safe?
Because it's 3x their fucking body weight, that's why lol
Rotem Ovadia it damages their knees over time, they'll barely walk when they're older if they even can walk. It's really unsafe, bad form
Go fort, but don't go tird. ( Just joking; like this video.)
yeah yeah short femur
They could all use lessons from Clarence
Lol a lot of these guys are squatting more than Clarence in this video. Hell Idalberto Aranda, the dark skinned shorter looking guy did 310kg as a 77kg lifter, more than Clarence even though he was almost 30kg lighter.
Some were too fast on the eccentric and a lot of them barely hit parallel. Just saying
So will this give me a bigger booty? Asking for a friend 👀
Also, what are *those* things around the guys leg at 3:07 and what benefit do they bring?
Yes squatting will if you take your diet as serious as training . Also those are knee wraps .helps add a few pounds to their lift by giving a rebound at the bottom . Or it could be used to avoid injury
@@rockstarsmg3632 it seems like it is used under the knee, offers some support,stability(?) for the patella, against patellar tendonitis if I'm not mistaking
Wonder how many Hernia surgeries and injures they had.
You can wear butt plugs to stop them.
yeah that happens when competing at elite level in any sport though. Point ?
True bro so true.
360kg squat.... fuck me and my legs
Shows many examples of how NOT to squat
Half of them are Bulgarians
345kg squat.....................
What the fuck have these guys been eating!!!
dbol,test,
With Ray williams doing a IPF grade 1000 lb raw squat, any OLY lifter squatter doing anything less than 1000 lbs isn't impressive anymore..did you get the memo?
Squat doesn't have to be 1000lbs to be impressive.
Being impressed is subjective, didn't you get that memo?
OLY lifters train high bar with less back and hip involvement. Of course they'll always squat less. Grow the fuck up.
lol...i watched the video, and they have the bar in the same spot as williams if not lower and have more lean......lol..next time post with some clarity and facts
TVTruther
So you're trying to convince me of two impossible things:
1- OLY lifters in this video are squatting low bar.
2- You can tell where their traps are when they are facing you, therefore can tell where the bar is resting.
I should've known you are nothing more than a troll. I can't go along with you any further.
hey dipshit, did you even see the williams 1000 lb raw squat video? obviously you didn't troll, your OLY heroes are NOT the kings of the squat, PLs are.
low bar squat is fucking bullshit. Engage more back, limit range of motion to load more weight -_- wut da point?
Dafuq @ 1:05 :O
squats.....i couldnt concentrate, music was unberable
1:35 definitely not
why not? look at that beautiful depth
***** The knees doe
***** Probably dont know anything about physiology.
JOHN SMITH Does that change the fact that it is nowhere near healthy ?
Jacob Bunce Why are you talking to yourself mate?
The first squat was the shittiest squat i've ever see! wtf was that!
Notice how none of them look like they lift...
Thats because they go for strength, not aesthetics
John Klitsko wtf are you talking about , you couldn't see ANY legs here , bad quality , angle ...
1:23 How *not* to squat: knees caving in, bouncing. Also @ 2:21
Knees caving isn't always a flaw. It's taught to beginners as a flaw because they tend to do it uncontrollably even on the lightest of weight. Once you've spent years under the bar, have basic technique mastered, and your connective tissue is built up, some knee cave can be used to get more power out of the bottom.
Also, when catching a clean/snatch, you're getting under a bar before it falls onto you, so some coaches actually teach fast descent/bounce because it mimics catching a falling weight. Other coaches dispute this line of thinking.
Ryan N He isn't a beginner. Also that's *exactly* why I said bad form; even if that way he can use more weight, f*** that.
Alejandro Nava No, I meant it's fine for experienced lifters who know what they're doing. You tell beginners that it's a flaw to get them to learn basic muscle control and technique. There's a difference between using some caving to get more power and caving because you don't know how to squat properly.
Also, these lifters are in the sport of lifting more weight, even if it means some risk to their bodies.
Alejandro Nava there's nothing wrong with it, that guy st 1:21 is pyrro dimas the most decorated weightlifter of all time. the fact that you think you can call him out on his form is hilarious! show me one video of somebody getting injured do to knees caving in
When you can squat 3.6x your body weight like Lu Xioajun at 2:21, you can critic his form.
well, this people are build to squat, no everybody can.
whats the point of squatting all that weight when you still have a fat gut and look like you spend all your time sitting on the couch drinking beers
kerpal321 you sound jealous
Kotally Savage
you sound like an idiot
these are max lifts and a lot are olympic athletes, if they are a certain weight its for a reason but you got a smaller gut good for you
third comment test
No Tall Guy like 6'3 -6'7 Can squat with that much weight so low, Buttock to the Floor! Especially with a long Torso, biomechanical impossible
If u don't squat.. Don't even bother going to the gym
Anything less than ass-to-grass is not a squat, at least in my routine.
If your knees take it nifty, but it has been proven that the stress increase of going deep atg versus just below parallel drastically outweighs the additional gains to possibly be made. You are better off hitting parallel and then throwing in glute and hamstring work to make up for it.
kylethekidable
Hasn`t the claim that deep squats ruin your knees been disproven? I don`t think bouncing the weight does your knees any favour.
777_777 It's not a matter of it ruining your knees so much as it puts your knees at far greater risk than right at parallel or just below typically while only adding a slight improvement to growth and strength gains over parallel squats.
kylethekidable
Oh i see, more of a potential injury than acutally progressive harm.
the bro science is strong in this thread. the depth has nothing to do with how good or bad a squat is for your knees. its the fact that you can objectively squat more weight half squatting then you can normally handle, its the fact that you are moving a weight your muscles are incapable of fully handling that puts stress on your knees, but not everyone is capable of producing the ankle flexion comfortably for ATG squats, the best solution is to actually change your stance width to adjust for ankle mobility. people have squatted every day for years on end with no knee damage.
Yeah. That's how to blow out a knee and get hurt really bad. Painful to watch. But for those who love to live on the edge of life/death hey go for it!!! LOL Good luck.
not that i care any
those fat power lifters man... They just don't look like atheletes to me. Not the ideal body, dig the strength but they look so sloppy and approach the bar wobbly with all their gear on.
jmafia48867 geared powerlifting is des and I cant see a single geared lift in this video
no this is how to get a back injury.
Yeah,the best way to break your knees... too deep !!
Tell that to the elite weightlifters lmao
This is how to lose your knees.
no one in the vid was natural
+Jamie Tanner if anyone, it'd have to be Kendrick. USADA is way more strict than any other country's doping agency or even WADA.
there are no drug free meets is a thing ive heard recently
"No drug free meets" as in everyone is on something?? Because that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard if that's the case. "No drug free meets" as in there's always someone there that is doping, well again, pretty dumb thing to say (though not as dumb as the first train of thought) seeing how it's a professional sport and there is always those couple of people who try to get that competitive edge. That would be like saying, "you know there are NFL players that take PEDs right??" "Yea, well no shit Sherlock," would be an overwhelming response to that statement.
Max Aita is most definitely natural.
I hear Australia is pretty fricking strict too on their doping, my friend who competes for juniors in weightlifting wont even buy supplements like whey or anything else unless its a AUS product. crazy
I don't see reason to get motivated. Squats this heavy can only kill your body. Such weights are beyond physiological capabilities of human being.
I also can't see how they can improve functional capacities.
I watched some russian video where one record holder powerlifter had heart of 150 beats per minute at rest. Heavy lifters tend to have hypertension and vascular problems.
Hossein Rezazadeh did have heart problems and thus he quit.

@@mattyhartley9079 There is objective reality one can't deny. Easy answers won't do
@@shokosugi2355 many sports involve risk and are not necessarily beneficial to the human body or long term health. However some people choose to take part and commit themselves to the endeavour.
