Squat story...

[BodybuildingUniverse]

email to me from the world record 1,075-pound squatter:

"Oh, and the accident thing.....let's just say
after doing an easy 1005 pound squat in 4.2 seconds...I did a 17 second
good morning with 1005 pounds and ended up dumping it on my monolift and
crushing the frame, busting my bar and splitting my bands...I came up so
fast from the squat, my heels came off the floor and tipped me
forward..hit the frame and couldn't back in the racks so I had to dump
it...I have it on video...pretty funny looking back on it now..."

wow. can you imagine an EASY 1005 pound squat??? mindblowing...

1005 lb. Good Morning?...

Is that fucking possible?

Now the squat, that's understandable. Even I can do that.

Oh wait.. 1005...

The guys who train with Irish Power are freaks in terms of strength. I doubt they care for pretty boys in wife beaters!!

So just damage to the monolift, no bodily harm to speak of? Christ, I wonder what kind of shape the bar is in.

 

[TheProject]

Damn...

The thing that jumped out at me is that it messed up the monolift. THAT would suck.

I hope people haven't forgot about Dr. Fred Hatfield. He was the most impressive squatter to walk the face of the earth. He was able to squat over 1000lbs at a bodyweight under 275lbs.
