Member 2179, 68 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 245 545.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	I just do not get this. So much equipment on that he can hardly move, to allow him to squat more weight to nowhere near parallel. I have no problem with equipment within reason if guys do the lifts properly, but it seems to me the only reason people are 'squatting' these kinds of weights is the gear gives more help and the concept of breaking parallel has been completely lost.

deadlift 300kg conventional ? never gonna happen Member 414, 1127 posts SQ 275, BP 187.5, DL 317.5 780.0 kgs @ 115kgs Eq	JamieC said:I just do not get this.

Did you watch the vid? He was that far away. I hate people who think you must squat ATg for it to ge good. That Isn't the rule.

no really Irish Member 1196, 5908 posts SQ 312, BP 230, DL 320 862.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq	Duncan said: Did you watch the vid? He was that far away.

Why does the squat merit special treatment.

Also, those squats were close to being in IMO. Note that his first squat was close and given red lights.

Obviously in the bench you Can see when it touches your chest but in the squat someone could just say thats as low as they can go, ala Mensy not being able to lock his arms. The rule is to break parallel, so why squat any deeper than needed.

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	my humble opinion is that he was nowhere near depth on any of those attempts. As always. In my eyes Bolton's got the record.
