I'm red because of some comments i made in a thread, I've got around 8 competitions under my belt and an elite total, went 9 for 9 at my last comp and have never been red-lighted for squat depth. May have been a little high but again the judges are the only ones im worried about concerning my depth.

[SPFjudge]

must have been either an SPF or RPS meet???

I've competed in the WNPF, ADAU/100% RAW, USAPL, and my last meet was the IPA nationals.

Also don;t know how you're judging my depth when depth from the front is known to be hard-to-tell unless the person is going atg, and i was wearing sweatpants. Just saying based on my competition history depth has never been an issue for me.

[BongoBanger]

taken at the lowest point.

high squat is high.



but still not bad.

[gettnthere]

taken at the lowest point.

high squat is high.

Again, i said it might have been, i don't have a side video and this was in TRAINING. All that matters is what happens in competition and come competition time i always have my depth on point.

425, last nov. @ 165, this training was following the 3 week smolov base cycle and gaining 10lbs obv.

difficult to tell depth from that angle as the camera is set high, if it was knee hight you could call depth from the front, would be interesting to see a side view, impressive squat the man some hard work gone into that.
will rep.

What are your other lifts like and what is your best comp total? You plan on doing USAPL Raw Nationals this year?

best comp total 1250, best comp bench 300...deadlift 530, broke the ipa junior world record with 525@165 a few months ago at the nationals but i recently have benched 350 and pulled 500x5 both at 175ish so i hope to pull 6 plates very soon. And usapl raw nationals idk yet.

*Edit, Also i realize i am just short of 1261 165 competition total for elite classification, but i well surpass that at this moment in time, just need to get another meet done to finalize it

Which classification has 1250 @ 165 as elite? Just wondering. You planning on staying 181 or going back down to 165?

Yeah, read the edit i made and for my next comp i will surely drop 6-7lbs of water n weigh in early or just cut a little bit to make 165 im really around 172/3 in the morning

[Huskarl]

Wtf is this ****

[csday924]

HIGH!!!! 1250 is not elite for 165 IDGAF what the "standards'' say.

[slothguy]

Reiterating what everyone else said, crazy high. Why would you even say this is the first time you squatted 500? It's your first hip/knee bend with 500...

[jdude94]

Wasn't retarded high but about parallel.

[gettnthere]

Starting to remember why I stopped posting here for years...I wasnt asking if my depth was okay, this is clearly not a competition as well it is a gym lift and the first time I got under 500 I am well aware of the requirements of a squat in competition because I compete regularuly. Iv gotten a lot of negative comments and criticism since I started posting videos of my lifting here about 5yrs ago and yet in person and at competitions respect is given and ive received nothing but positive comments. Why would you come in here just to tell me I am squatting high in your opinion instead of respect for a good lift .are we not all brothers in the sport? Support each other damn...im sure some genius will come up with a whole story about how im wrong and how I suck but keep on hatin

[slothguy]

Powerlifters support each other. The fact is your highest competition squat is 425, then you come on here wanting to show off to everybody with your 500 squat RAWWwwww. Fact is, a lot of guys have been busting their ass off for a 500 squat for a long time and could probably hit a half squat like you just did at 500 and put it on video. But they don't, because they want it to be for real. Even in training, it isn't considered a squat unless you're at least close to parallel. If you don't want criticism, don't post stupid videos.
