Thanks. I was surprised after I watched the vid how fast it went up.Solid squat!!!
Your doing something right keep up the hard work! With some knee wraps and belt you can def hit a higher max...and that looked way too easy to be your max.
On form: depth was perfect, your ass went up a little early and if that was heavier it may have led you to hit more of a good morning and take away from the squat but it wasnt that bad at all in that squat(i do that way to much and it really ****s with my squat).
Solid lift, IMO you owned that weight.
What's wrong with the knees moving forward?I'm not exactly an expect at judging others form but it looks to me like you're knees and chest are moving forward a bit. I'm not taking away from the weight but you may want to try to stay a little further back in your hips, it will help to keep your knees from moving forward and maybe a little core strength or stretching can help with keeping your chest up.
Either way, that's a sh*t ton of weight and it would count in competition. Good job, people will say that they can squat 500lb, few actually prove it.
It was just knee sleeves, some generic neoprene ones I got on eBay for 10 bucks. Knee wraps definitely do add a lot of weight, at least for me. I probably get 30 lbs out of knee wraps alone. Not sure if knee sleeves give me anything.Is that with knee wraps it looks like? I've never used knee wraps, so I don't know how much they help, but that looked way easy. I squat 500 at 205 and you made it look way easier than me. I also got 4 years on you. Good work. Depth looked good for sure.
Yes, actually they do allow that. Double bouncing or triple bouncing is not allowed. As long as depth is reached, "bouncing" is allowed.Pretty solid. As i'm sure your aware, they wont let you bounce out of the bottom in competition.
Thank you.moved it pretty easily congrats.

He's a little confused.What?
bye the way, that is a phenomenal squat. Good luck with the 565.He's a little confused.
No you are right...the less amount of steps one takes the more energy they have for the actual lift. It's something I really gotta work on.Dang! Nice work man. PROPS to ya.
Some humble thoughts.
I cannot squat 500, so who am I to give advice but I thought I'd share one thing only especiallly since you have no one spotting ya. Again, mad props..........
You are too far from the rack IMHO. You look like you could have easily fallen backwards especially when you walked backwards . there was one step you took where I was like "oh snap, he's going down LOL".
Good work man!
I think you'll find that in real life, that lift would in no way get passed. It may say 'double bouncing' or more specifically 'any downward movement during the ascent'. But if you expect to drop yourself to the ground and spring back up like in that vid, I think your in for a rude awakening.Yes, actually they do allow that.

I don't know what organizations you've been competing in, but I've been to multiple meets with different organizations and that SQ is fine in any I've ever seen in person or on video. The IPF has the reputation for being the most strict and I've seen many, many lifters there "bounce" out of the bottom much more than I see here and they get their squats passed.I think you'll find that in real life, that lift would in no way get passed.

Your on the track to hit whatever you want too, as you obviously have great power. I would just suggest you get someone affiliated with whatever organization you want to lift with to look at your form.
*And to pre-empt anyone who going to make a comment, no I can't hit 500. I'm working with 425, thanks.
The only comps I am willing to enter are directed lift. Keeps every equal.
I think you'll find with the prevalence of powerlifting competitions across the country comes a readiness to employ judges with less experience and/or improper affiliation with the lifters.
More like keep someone from blowing their knees out.but you may be keeping some good kids from competing.
You really don't know what you're talking about. I've squatted like that in 2 separate meets in the USAPL (which is very strict when it comes to judging) and in both meets have received 3 white lights on all 3 attempts.I think you'll find that in real life, that lift would in no way get passed.

I believe I did control the weight. If I hadn't controlled the weight, I wouldn't have completed the lift.I guess what I meant was, they shouldn't pass it and any good judge will force you to control the weight.
Alot of lifts get passed, that doesnt mean they were legit.
- Jmaths- I am in no way saying your not strong, I was just trying to be constructive. I still stand by finding a comp that forces control, if not I'll bet in 5 yrs time you'll be icing your knees everynight like a guy I train with.
hey Tyler, thanks!great job bud.
psu powerlifting all the way
Thanks, I think 565 is a reasonable goal given what you said.I wasn't expecting you to go that deep :clap2:
My only comments are, I think you could have handled a bit more. The stability you showed when you unracked the weight was the way I look unrackin 135lbs, and your concentric effort "looked" like 80%-85% effort (and your calves looked huge in the video, so I can only assume your quads are 4x4's wheels).
Just to be a technical weenie about it because it's in my vocation, but you are drawing a bit of stretch shortening assist by how fast you go from the eccentric, immediately into the concentric (down-up), nonetheless, it was extremely impressive how deep you actually went down with that much weight :clap2:
Very reasonable, I was already thinking the 550+ range before you mentioned that.hey Tyler, thanks!

I've got around 5 months to prepare, as well.Very reasonable, I was already thinking the 550+ range before you mentioned that.
5 months is a long time, you could be close to 600lbs by then. Adding +(-)100lbs to your max is outrageous in 5 months, so that's not what I'm implying, but I don't think 500lbs was your true max to begin with. I think your true max might already be around 550lbs (judging by your stability and speed).I've got around 5 months to prepare, as well.
If I could get 600 lbs that would be ridiculous...I just attempted 600 with single ply suit and knee wraps less than 2 months ago:5 months is a long time, you could be close to 600lbs by then. Adding +(-)100lbs to your max is outrageous in 5 months, so that's not what I'm implying, but I don't think 500lbs was your true max to begin with. I think your true max might already be around 550lbs (judging by your stability and speed).
That's probably a good idea...but I feel like it helps with my confidence and mental ability to handle the weight when I don't use spotters whenever possible.but you might want to get a couple of side spotters or at least a solid rear spotter when you're trying this kind of weight.
A pause is not necessary for squatting. As long as the lifter reaches proper depth, and after initiating the concentric portion of the lift the bar does not lower, there is no problem. Well, there are small things like taking a step after you complete the lift, or racking it before the command, or things like that.You were well beyond parallel, I don't know what the hell they were looking for.
I don't know how technical they are with the eccentric/concentric phase of squats, but I know with bench presses, they like to see a pause at the bottom to ensure the elimination of any bounce assist. I don't know how they could have penalized your depth, the only thing I could anally critique is a faster then desired ascension. The speed at which you ascend immediately after your descent activates the stretch shortening cycle (that's a small window where the muscle behaves like a rubber band and the eccentric load assists in the concentric action) and I don't know if that's something they take into account.
Your depth is ridiculous, but again, if I were to be incredibly anal, then I would say your immediate ascent following your descent, without a pause, is all I can think of :dunno: Cause it looked legit to me.
In that case, I have no clue why they red flagged you.A pause is not necessary for squatting.

But apparently I was red-lighted for depth in this case.
And the stretch reflex is incredibly useful.
LOLIn that case, I have no clue why they red flagged you.
I thought you were @$$ to grass. If you had an allergy to grass and they had a patch of grass behind you when you performed those squats, you'd have butt hives.
Hey Steve, I saw you too, I didn't wanna disturb you or anything while you were lifting. Yea I am here taking summer classes for 6 weeks.nice squat. Saw you lifting at rec the other day, so you must be up here for the summer too?
It's steve btw.
Looking swole man I almost didn't recognize ya. 365x20 olympic was 10 weeks ago at 235 now I'm down to 210 for sprinting so I don't think I'm at that level now, although I did hit 455x5 off a parallel box in rec yesterday so idk.Hey Steve, I saw you too, I didn't wanna disturb you or anything while you were lifting.

I met some guy at the White Building (I forget his name of course), the one who does MMA and has a really good bench. He said you did a 20 rep squat with 365 or some crazy ****.
Are you doing any sports or anything? Are you a sprinter now?Looking swole man I almost didn't recognize ya. 365x20 olympic was 10 weeks ago at 235 now I'm down to 210 for sprinting so I don't think I'm at that level now, although I did hit 455x5 off a parallel box in rec yesterday so idk.
Ill look out for you in Rec man.
OP- congrats on the big squat!What I need to do is get some tips on squats to end up hitting numbers like that
Someone explain a little more to the differences between the oly and PL type of squats and the pros cons of them so I don't have to exhaust myself in searching google
running unattached for the summer, well see how it goes from there...if it doesnt work out, I'll make a return to power lifting :thumbsup:Are you doing any sports or anything? Are you a sprinter now?
