 balls one size too big Member 338, 604 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 210515.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 11.11.2014 @ 21:00 PM by The_Lechamotive Just watched some lad half squat his way up to a 200kg half squat tripple.I really wanted to say something like "you are plenty strong, but why don't you complete the 2nd half of the movement?" But frankly I didn't want to be 'that guy' So I'm going to open the floor to the oracle of reason that is Sugden barbell and ask, is it right to involve yourself in what others do in the gym? Is bad form or half repping something that needs to be pointed out and corrected for the greater good / extra karma points, or just let them get on with it until they get hurt or give up? | ||

 'Looks like Ben Affleck according to Pagan' Member 876, 2506 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 260620.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Leave him to it, he's doing you no harm. For what it's worth, plenty of BB'ers with Tom Platz-esque legs in the gym I go to do half rep squats. | ||

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Stand and laugh profusely at him whilst pointing. or Just leave him, he's obviously happy with his existence. | ||

Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | I don't see why people hate on half squats. Some huge legs were built on them. Not everyone's competing. | ||

balls one size too big Member 338, 604 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 210515.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I guess if you are all about building mass on the quads, a high squat is a great movement. I wasn't too sure what this guys motivation was as he was working up to a triple, with a belt on and wearing those chunky jogging shoes with the foam soles? Wasted potential I say | ||

 Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | I could care less about other people's workouts, but I am a person who will say what's on my mind if I feel the need. Do it! Just do it. Have your friend secretly film him while training and when you pop the question. Others would be interested in seeing the outcome. | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17892 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Lead by example. Ensure every squat you do is "in" If he comes and asks - help and advise him If he does not - he isn't worth bothering with. | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 12.11.2014 @ 10:20 AM by dannyboy73 I do belive that the fellow in question has just posted on the BB forum that 'some guys in the gym are squattin low and this will not build mass in the quads'...'should I tell them to reduce the depth and concentrate on the feel as they are bound to fuc, up their backs doin it like that?.......I was once told this myself in a heath club type gym... | ||
