6 inches deeper and you could take 200lbs off and he still couldn't come back up.

so how far of a stance should you take on a squat.I see he is like almost doing s dame split and I would not like to go that far out,but I use a shoulder width apart as of right now ad I am wondering if its ok to go out further then that.cuz if I did I could add a lot more to my squat.

That lift would not pass in any federation. I think he COULDN'T go down any lower because of that 2" thick canvas squat suit. It was so tight and stiff that he would have needed to relax to let the weight push him down. Once you loosen up on a heavy squat you are history. That weight would have crushed him if he relaxed.
I don't understand how someone can be a seasoned powerlifter and not have perfected their training enough that they can't reach the proper depth.

He is very strong.
Regardless of the canvas suit and other crap, he is really strong.
Even though I always based parallel off top of thighs he is super fucking strong.
Even though I could probably add 150lbs to my raw squat using that technique and bottom of thigh register, he is stronger than any member on this board without gear on I am willing to bet.
Try rapping youself up and breaking +700lbs off the rack let alone that much weight. Your abs, obliques, your entire body clenches up. Chances are, many on this board or who have commented have never even felt 600lbs on their back or more let alone walked it out.
So ease up abit and give the guy a break?

you're going to have to show a video on that one........not doubting you bro, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt........but you did hate on a man who put 1200+ pounds on his back. So.........pic or video time...........let's see it!!

If you wouldn't doubt you wouldn't ask any videos. Sure I have a video for you from 1992.
As a PL referee I've judged way over 20K squats in the past 20 years, and where I come from that's not even a half squat. Check the Captain Kirk pic and you'll know what a PL squat is.

It was impressive even though he barely hit parallel.

looked parallel to me
Dude, any resonable PLer can do high GMs with 600+lbs, so it's neither rare nor impressive to rack up.
... Oh wait, this is a board of 2g/week wanna-be bodybuilders who use flies and curls as their primary exercises... never mind.
People know that suits don't do anything at the top of the lift, right? It's biggest function is assistance coming out of the hole.
LOL @ "relative to doing the squat to gain muscle". As if even a fraction of BBers have symmetric, developed hamstrings, lol.

I always give someone the benefit of the doubt..........and you're talking to someone who does think that plifting has become more about wearing the proper suit than man vs. weight. HOWEVER.........I'm in no way shape or form going to critisize a man with 1200 pounds on his back given that I, wearing the same suit......couldn't touch that. Now I agree, the pick of Kirk is impressive, and he is going low..........but is that even 1000 pounds?

Well, you're talking to a guy who thinks that football has become more about wearing pads, helmets, and safety gear than tackling the living hell out of each other. None of those pro football players would be half the players they are now if they never wore helmets or pads.
Newsflash: Powerlifting is an established sport with it's own rules and regulations. The rules allow for this safety gear, so why the bloody hell would any powerlifter not use them? If someone doesn't like the rules of the sport, too fuggin' bad. Go bitch about soccer players wearing cleats or something.
And yes, Captain can squat well in excess of 1,000 lbs.

Have you seen the vid of him doing a double at 1,000 lbs? After the second rep he won't let the spotters rack it, he just keeps yelling "I want to feel it". The captain is also crazy, gotta love him.
Vids on youtube I can't look it up on this crappy work computer otherwise I'd post a link.

They use the wide stance to involve the hips and glutes more.NickyE3 said:
If it's a valid squat in his federation then that's what he trained for. The different feds seem to have different ideas of what constitutes parallel. I think they do it just so that they can laugh at each other.
He could have done with a stronger bar.
