Can I squat with a heavy backpack?

[Joseph DiNatale]

I don't have a squat rack, could I fill a backpack up with plates, put it on, then squat away?

Or would this rape my spine?

Can your bag handle that much weight?

[FlyingStepz]

I'm not gonna get specific, but it's just like carrying a school backpack, expect you have about 20 books in there, idk about you, but carrying a backpack that heavy is a pain in the butt, and that's if you're repping in the low 100s! Try getting it on and getting to squat position too heh. Might be really bad for ur back idk, could hurt too? Different balance?

[Stacked_Gnome]

I dont see how you could possibly have good form at all..

[wam09]

if ur bag can handle alot.... i think it would pull u back because u stand up when sqauting

[BangBrahs]

Just try dumbbells, hack squats, or lunges.

[huge_kwads]

just dont use too much weight, stick to like 50 lbs, or you'll mess up your knees.

[Vipersg123]

to dangerous... it's strapped on to you if something happens its not like you can just rack it fast or drop it instantly.

[GiGZ]

lol there will be no point you wont be able to hold 150lb or so in it and I think squating anything under is pretty useless unless you sit on a chair your entire life

[W.I.N.]

That would hit abs hard I think lol, try using strong chairs to hold the bar and front squat them up(or even back if you feel you can do it)

you don't need to go to all that trouble to get you spine raped. all you have to do is ask and i'm sure someone around here will be more than willing.

actually if you put the pack on you frontside this might work.
