Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[Adrian_D 520]

New PR for olympic squats, 220 lbs, 8 reps (with a bit of help on the last 2).

The local football (not soccer) trainer was there with 2 players, one which I knew, they were training for powerlifting and the coach was not excited about olympic squats.

What makes a squat "Olympic"?

 

I've read that keeping the heels ~1 foot apart, toes pointed out, weight up high is called olympic squat

I try to alternate them one week one type, next week the other

About 10 years ago, when dad had the CO2 business he had some space rented in somebody's backyard. And during summer I'd spend time there. The owners had a daughter, probably 6-7 years younger than me and we used to run around and race. Fast forward to now, she's a junior olympic runner, with quite a few wins in 400m and picking a scholarship in the US, to race under the US flag.

We stealin your runners!

Muahahahahaha.

 

Hell yeah, it's a no-brainer though.

Take that tutorial with a grain of salt. He obviously doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

1. You'll never find a professional powerlifter with the bar on their neck like that.

2. In order for a squat to be legal the top of the thigh must be parallel or below the top of the knee. Not 6 inches above like in his pictures.

What if I have 38" thighs? Then the top of my leg would make me go lower than 90 degree bend.

For the record my thighs only got to 31.75 inches around.

Haters gonna hate.

They got plenty of super heavy weights capable of getting their ass down far enough. I'm sure it's possible.

Fuck it, I tried to add some images, I'll do it tomorrow, getting sleepy now.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the new software?

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Seriously? I didn't even know that. The clean and press is one right?

I hope I didn't come off like an ass. I have heard the term used before and people use the term for different versions.

Clean and press was one until '72. Now it's just Snatch and Clean & Jerk. Anything labeled as an "Olympic style" lift usually isn't. Edited July 29, 2013 by Penguin4x4

You're just asking for a broken neck trying high bar squats with heavy weights.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

I think he was a bit high, (high as in not squatting far enough down) but form was perfect.  I set the bar a couple inches lower than he does.

Great form, but definitely not low enough

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Going to parallel puts considerably more stress on your knees than going past parallel.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

not if your knees are out like they are suppose to be.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

skip to 2:00 and watch Dan green lift.  That is nearly identical to how I hold the bar.

 

 

[MKader17 332]

where in CO. Been fucking cold here too. Record low in fact

Record Lows? Where you at?

 

We are in Rollinsville, outside of Nederland, outside of Boulder.

If the hippie would have cut his hair he could have done another 10 pounds.

iI see absolutely NO point in lifting weights outside of gaining mass needed for sports.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

Lifting weights help maintain bone mass which is reduced by age.

Alternatively, I see absolutely NO point in owning a Ferrari. Different strokes for different folks.
