The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XI

I just watched Eric Lillebridge squat 875... To depth.

My mind is full of fuk.

Certified Internet Judge checking in. My internet red lights are undergoing maintenance so I didn't switch them on.

I'm more impressed with him having the balls to video all his attempts from the side, even when they are all not in. If we could have all these 900lbs+ squats from the side, judging from the internet is much easier.

775 and 825 were high. 875 was to depth. I've spoken, problem resolved.

I thought for sure 875 would have been high after watching those. Thats a hell of a squat!

Pretty cool vid one of my training buddies took yesterday with his new GoPro. My wife pulling 250 x 4 and one of the girls I coach making 375 look like a joke.

Somebody's friends with Brandon Lilly on ********, lol. I watched that earlier. Almost 700 raw bench looks easy as **** and the only two squat competitors get all their attempts red-lighted but one.

I just watched the entire video and it was pretty awesome. Too bad strength athletes don't get that kind of love in murrica.

I loled when that guy threw his wrist wraps into the crowd like he was some kind of rock star.

OMG! Check out what I caught from that one guy. I think they are called wrist straps and are used for deathlifts.

[baxtej44]

anybody do speed sumo deads? been trying to incorporate both stances into my training as i'm still getting formed dialed in and trying to see which is truly better for me, and the speed sumos just felt very weird to me... it may have been because i don't have a proper deadlift platform to attach my bands to. conventional speed deads with the bands under my feet feel fine, but putting the bands with the speed sumos just feels awkward like it throws off my form.. ended up just switching back to speed conventional tonight's workout.

[SPFjudge]

you don't have to use the bands for speed pulls.

[baxtej44]

i'll try them without next time.. i just like the way they change up the lift. thanks

[ampUP11]

Typically when I sumo speed I up the weight and drop the bands, especially since I used to step on each end of a band and wrap it over the middle of the bar, inconvenient as hell.

bands are for fat people.

Oh.

[Jason2459]

Yep. Like judge said. Don't use them if the only way you can set them up is with you feet. You can set them up with two sets of heavy dumbbells though.

[martin_mathers]

I know this is an old vid but the calmness of this guy when he trains scares me.

[baxtej44]

Oh.

i meant i like how bands change the lift in general

[Jason2459]

If they are changing or forcing the bar path you're using to much tension.

[xRequiem]

OHHHH Jason. I need your help again.



how horrible is my conventional form?

[thom2355]

This, or you are setting them up wrong....but that has already been covered.

interesting straps

[Jason2459]

OHHHH Jason. I need your help again.

I'll look more later tonight or tomorrow morning when I'm not on my phone but I'll tell you right now you're over extending the lockout and bending the knees. Red lights. I'm also not a fan of the look straight up on the dead or squat really. But on deads I notice people loose position more often looking up like that.

[Jason2459]

interesting straps

And awesome sumo technique.

[showmestate08]

And awesome sumo technique.

I've been trying to find his FB account or youtube channel so I can watch more of his training but no such luck

[simp3204]

OHHHH Jason. I need your help again.

This.

Since my name is also Jason I'm assuming you would like to hear from me too. The squats were all high by at least an inch.

EDIT: I think reps 2 & 3 might have hit depth. It's hard to tell with black shorts.

[mitten]

anyone else see this?

[xRequiem]
