 Member 5141, 4199 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | Glad we finally know exactly what the squat is. Thanks Terry! I can see a few guys getting 10+ with that weight, top 3 of Lalas, Z and Ed. Though I suspect everyone who gets to the final to be good for 5+ reps at that weight, so potential for a lot of people to take points away from some of the overall favourites. | ||

I don't think people realise how much harder the solid axle is, felt dangerous as hell with 200k nevermind 300k+. Takes some balls. I practised on my solid axle. First time I did it I dumped 200 off my back twice in a row. Was fine once I practiced though. | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Not supprised. For anyone who has not done axel squats:Axel squats are much harder that oly squats, the bar is inflexable and holding a low bar possition is impossibly painfull on the wrists. I went form an oly bar to an axel bar to practice for my comp and immediatly lost 30k off my squat! terryhollands said: I practised on my solid axle.

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22044 posts | Great events for you Terry I always found barbell squat and axle squat of equal difficulty. | ||

I don't really think one is harder than the other. its simply that the Axle squat is different, if practiced its no harder in my opinion. Though I suspect if you generally squat low bar axle could indeed become a horrid piece of apparatus to balance/control. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Anyone else think this new Russian guy can do some damage? He is less than 300lbs did 4 reps on the 170kg log at the Arnold's and around 1000lbs on the deadlift and he seems like he would be pretty athletic and have good stamina. If he makes it to the final I think truck pull and keg toss will cost him. But as far as the heats go I think he will be very good. | ||
