Damm bro haven't you heard about depilation?
That black box is a little on the small side....
Haha you did say you had the smallest dick in the gym. That box could be evidence
Lol
Bblazer when you start a thread like this you should warn us to the nature of the images in it, hairy, nude, pale, small black boxes, very disturbing
Damn, you just discovered a new use for the bench shirt! Cardio workout! Somebody call Inzer's marketing team.....
I'm not sure what you're trying to say.....I mean, Chakarov is by no means abnormal or an "exception" among Oly lifters. You must also keep in mind that squats like the ones Ivan is doing above are not the training focus and are a supplement to help the C&J/snatch. Oly lifters don't care what they squat. Anyway.....the point is just suits, shirts, etc. while helpful in the right situation are by no means a necessity....unless you're a PL'er lifting in an equipped competition.
I'm by far no beginner when it comes to lifting. I'm a huge fan of Dimas, we all cried when he retired (he writes for a news paper now).
By the same token that you can show someone like Dimas or Chakarov doing a no, no, no squat with INSANE weights is similar to posting up an NBA All-Star as an example of a basketball player and possibly relating to how high a basketball player can jump. You can't use an All-Star as an example.
If you want to use a sample of squatters, let's not use the top .0005% of the squatters in the World as an example. Lets use the top 10% at least and say that a decent squat suit or briefs will help with the protection of the hips in the squat lift. For the majority of HARD squatters (and especially those using a wider stance) a pair of briefs will for sure allow them to squat with intensity for longer periods without injury or hip pains. I hardly ever get hip pains from heavy hard box squats but that is just me and it is rare. (I box squatted an easy 682 a few weeks ago with loose belt only, below depth).
Squats are a supplement exercise for my sport as well and I FULLY see your point about suits and shirts. There can be a line between protection and HELP. I'd like to compete in a powerlifting meet in the next year or two and I'll be wearing the MAXIMUM allowed for sure!
Been using the shirted bench press to greatly help my overhead press lately with great results too. Shoulders and chest are not taking a beating and it is frying my triceps!!!!!
Apparently someone forgot to tell Ivan suits are necessities for a big squat:
Who would you guess is more likely to have joint problems? Admittedly though, there are a lot factors that are relevant here, so to isolate technique alone probably isn't wise. But I will say that (not so) common sense should tell you that if you frequently handle near-limit loads for a significant period of time, your joints are gonna take a beating. 
Considering the ROM, depth, lack of equipment, his bodyweight, the ease at which he doubled the weight, and the fact that that video was 3 days prior to a competition, and I'd consider that a big squat.
Thanks.
I think I am the only computer geek that is mathematically challenged.
Could you also convert that to stone for me as well. And not those damn stones you like to toss around. I want the British version of stone weight!
A 638 pull at 187 is pretty decent I would say. A little work at Westside could help with that though
