Finally Squatted 500 Pounds (vid)

**Juic3** · 03-14-2009, 10:32 PM

Stumbled so couldn't rack it.

**-DoPeMaN-** · 03-14-2009, 10:37 PM

Nice man, im barley breaking 200!

How long you been squatting?

**hercules71185** · 03-14-2009, 10:40 PM

Put the damn bar higher on your back and stand up like a person not a pre-evolutionary ape. lol. Or a turtle. You will be able to rack it MUCH easier and you can even do MORE. You got the leg power, but, your making it a back workout and your back is weaker than your legs.
I think if you move the bar, keep your back straight and STAND UP you can do 550lbs.

**hercules71185** · 03-14-2009, 10:42 PM

ps you got the same big ass legs and glutes I do so you can lift heavy as hell if you train a lot. (no homo)

Ive been squatting for like 4 years I guess for thats how long I've been training. I squatted 445 for a max last year around this time.

I know im working on my form, I tried 515 after the 500, the weight was light but I messed up and couldn't get it, the vid is below.

haha

yea, and to the OP look at your shoot up off the lower part of the 515 you have NO problem jumping with it. At least your power is a lack of bar placement, my max is just because I can't put more weight on the bar because I'm too much of a pussy and it hurts my traps.

Your form looked better a year ago when you hit 425 for an EASY single.

**PumpinPaddy** · 03-15-2009, 03:46 AM

there is a strong possibility you will injure yourself and others

This.

You are leaning forward so much for some reason, you need to fix that ASAP...

**The_cannibal** · 03-15-2009, 08:50 AM

The bar shouldnt be lower than the top of your scapula. That's why the bar fell off, because it didn't even seem to be resting on your scapulas.

Also, using an extreme-low-bar position forces you to lean way too far forward, in order to keep the center of gravity over your feet, which results in the aforementionned good morning of the weight.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

**cjdelaney** · 03-15-2009, 11:26 AM

remember when you made that form check thread and eveyone told you that your form was god-awful-heinous b/c you have the bar racked halfway down your back?

I remember that.

Seriously, you need to fix that. You also aren't hitting depth and since you begin the squat halfway bent-over, you aren't even finishing the squat. Youtube some powerlifters squatting, you wont find anyone else doing what you do. That should tell you something.

Also if I ran that gym I would definitely kick you out for safety reasons.

I'm really not trying to be a dick, but... jesus man.

**rugby121** · 03-15-2009, 01:37 PM

Crazy stuff, you attempting a tallguy "i place the bar on my lats" squat?

**isaku900** · 03-15-2009, 01:42 PM

agree with everything someonefat, the cannibal and cjdelaney said..

you still haven't squatted 500.

red lights for:
not starting with your legs locked, depth, not recovering to lockout.

**DBee** · 03-15-2009, 01:46 PM

Too much weight, looked like a half ass good morning.

**Newbtime** · 03-15-2009, 01:46 PM

your bar position is WAY to low causing you to lean over so far... if you didnt lean over like that the bar would fall off your back.

switch to a high bar placement.

**Duke999** · 03-15-2009, 01:47 PM

congrats on putting up 500 bro but u gotta do something a little different or ur gonna seriously injure ur back.

**qdiddy69** · 03-15-2009, 01:50 PM

your strong as hell but your form was scary

In addition to what the centre ref stated...

"The bar shall be held horizontally across the shoulders, hands and fingers gripping the bar, and the top of the bar not more than the thickness of the bar below the outer edge of the shoulders."

And another red from the side ref (who happens to have psychic powers to be able to see behind the plates).

**zoina21** · 03-15-2009, 03:24 PM

you will break your spine

**touchofevil04** · 03-15-2009, 04:22 PM

Nice power but you have got to be doin some damage to your back with the bar so low.

**gymratharris** · 03-15-2009, 05:38 PM

I don't mean to hijack the thread but this is a vid of me squatting 500x1 and 455x4. Is the bar too low on my back also? I maintain a good arch but I definitely have a bit of good morning going on.

Didn't have time to edit the vid so at the beginning I walkout with 500 but couldn't get my feet set right so I reracked it before actually going for the 500x1.

work on your core strength, obliques, abs, lower back, and calves. It should help out with your balance problems.

You look to have the power, but you did have a bit of a good morning. You sat back into the squat, but it looked like you kept your ass back throughout the lift. Powering through with your hips will help. (This is in addition to what the guy above me said)
