It places the bar higher than even a normal high bar squat.It does feel different than any other squat Ive done.Like Clint said...its just another variation.

Im not Clint but I think they are pretty cool!

Does anyone have a picture of someone high bar squatting a huge weight with olympic lifting shoes on?Correct me if Im wrong,but arent "weightlifting shoes"with raised heels made for olympic lifting(aside from rdc's shoes that were mentioned)?Chucks may have been a basketball shoe,but since I...

I take that back..he may have had a belt on for the deadlift this year,but did not wear one last year.He just pressed all 4 logs in that event,with very little leg drive on the last one.AMAZING!

Ive been watching this ALL DAY.I love it,but I need to get out of the house for a while lol.Notice that Bergmanis uses no belt!!That really amazes me.

I was going to reply to the original topic,but just read your pulling techniqu thread.I think I will just agree with what b fold said.You remind me of alot of personal trainers Ive talked to,or the typical know it all at the gym,that feels that the things that are well known to be the wrong way...

I wish man.Most people here only do what they like to do when it comes to lifting,so I dont see alot of deadlifts and squats,let alone box squats and goodmornings.Whenever I use my bands and chains,or my log,axle,or farmers at the gym people have no idea what Im doing...they all like trying it...

Thanks.I tryed sumo box squats and worked on really sitting back.I just need some more work,but will get it down.My hamstrings are pretty sore today

I got one of the westside squat videos,and noticed that the box squats they were doing are slower than I thought they were supposed to be.To me it looked like a normal box squats...Am I missing something,or is this just how they are supposed too be done?

Ive really been wanting to come down to Murray again,but dont have a job right now.Hopefully that will change next week.You guys really helped out alot!!Thanks

Thanks again guys.Seeing everyones replies has motivated me more than anything.Kingc,I may start posting them.I have a "weblog"on xanga.com,but dont get any feed back from that so it would probably be better posting it on one of the boards.Ive been watching more of the videos and reading more...

I did light deads with bands and chains tonight,just to try them.Im still feeling pretty worn from un intentionally hitting lower body 3x pretty hard last week.It went pretty well...I felt a little more motivated,and excited about getting to the gym.Towards the ends some of the high school kids...

Thanks guys.Cuthbert,yes I train alone.There are a few people that like to try what I do every once in a while,but they end up going back to the showy type lifts(the only squats I ever see anyone doing here are partials on the smith machine.No deadlifts.Lots of bench presisng and curls)I worte...

Where do you find your motivation..especially in the times when it seems like there is no thrill to training anymore,but you know you cant let yourself give up?Lately Ive had the worse mental approach to my training.I really cant point out what it is,but something has to change fast.I figured...

Seeing Goldbergs huge traps when he first came on wrestling was one of the reasons I wanted to start lifting :D Im with the other guys that said Farmers,deadlifts,shrugs,cleans,clean pull,power shrug(kind of like a hang clean pull??),and shrugs all really hit your traps.Although Im focusing on...
