1/100 squat

I mean it sounds like hes sort of doing pin squats but with 2 plates I doubt it

>>37489339
i seen a guy do this. His squats were 1 inches total. he racked up 6 plates each side and left the weight there once he left

>>37489359
Watched a video. Way too much movement and the rails are lower.

Amount of bend in the knee is more comparable to the pic I posted and I never saw the bar hit the rails despite them being so high.

Sissy squats? They look dumb

>>37489339
my vote is that its a rehab thing.

>>37489339
whats that picture showing?

my bet is he's just a big guy who likes trolling autists like you

>>37489339
>He was pretty buff though

you'd be surprised to see your image of "buff" change once you get stronger


on a scale of 1-11 you should be at 0 because there's nothing you could do about shitty people hogging equipment, except maybe find a better gym. sucks but that's how everything in life is desu familia

This shit is infuriating but ykno whatever.

>>37489691
Not op, but it shows his ROM i guess

>>37489674
This probably.
I had surgery on both my knees and do extremely small ROM "squats" to get my legs to work normally.
Although I do those at home because I don't want to be the topic of a thread on mongolian tapestry forums.

>225 lbs as a rehab weights

Honestly probs not.

My guess is if he's like me a full squat doesn't target the area he wants to specifically tone. Sounds like an isolation exercise to me.

>>37489691
Range of Motion. He was literally just bending a little at the knees and then popping back up.

>tone

was it something like this

>>37489706
That'd be hilarious. I'm at 0 if so.

>>37489722
Rationally I know people with bad form pay the same gym membership I do, but while I don't begrudge people who are clearly putting effort into their fitness, it drives me fucking nuts to have to wait for someone who is just pissing away the time anyway.

>>37490997
No, he was definitely doing reps, he just went down like an inch.

>>37490997

He said the bar was on the guy's back, so no

He could have been doing jerk dips if he was an oly lifter. It'd be a bit strange to have it on his back, when you jerk from the front rack position, but behind-the-neck jerks are a fairly standard thing for training purposes, so it wouldn't surprise me to have somebody doing it with the bar on their back.

Two plate would seem very light for it though, especially if he was buff to begin with. I'm weak as shit and can barely manage to bench 225 for reps and can only strict press 135 for a triple, but a 225 jerk isn't too difficult at all, just a technique thing.

Still, wouldn't be completely outlandish.

>>37491188
Actually I take that middle bit back. 225 foe a single jerk isn't difficult, but if I were to do jerk dips with it for sets of eight or ten, it'd ve pretty difficult, the short range of motion and springiness required actually add to the difficulty.

You sure he wasn't just doing calfraises?

I saw a guy doing 1/8th squats with 275 today

Not sure what the point of that is

>>37491226
If he was, he was doing them weird going down and not up. Knees were definitely bending, just not much.

was he doing these?

There is such a thing as a squat walkout. You can get your cns rolling pretty well by walking out something higher than you can 1rm

>>37491877
Would this be a good thing to do to make my working sets seem lighter

>>37491861
>>37491872
Yes, though bar was on his back, rom looks similar.

>fit tells me to squat
>lots of squats
>I'm the only one who ever seems to squat in ny gym
>Never see strongmen in gym squat

Are they a meme? Have I been memed?

>>37492111
Lucky you. It's nothing but squatters at my gym. If I pull up and there's a bro truck parked nearby, I know the rack is in use.

>>37492111

There is not a strongman in the world who isn't at least a decent squatter, if not a great squatter.

Random gym rats are a different story.

>>37492111
Most ive ever seen is 3pl8 in my gym

>>37492122

What's so good about them

>>37492091

Oh I do this, Worked up to 360kg once (looked like I was shitting myself).
It massively helps with confidence and connective tissue strength. Makes squatting 220kg+ pain free and less scary. Also massively builds isometric strength for the Abdominal cavity, I can really maintain IAP better since doing them.

Can't remember where I picked up the idea to do them, it may of been Kelly Bagget or some powerlifter. No idea but it seems useful. Didn't know the Chinese Oly team do it too.

>>37492062
Yes, actually. Also, pin squats are even better for that purpose

>>37492111
>Are they a meme? Have I been memed?
Yes. Squats are hugely overrated on the net.

Also the guy in the OP was likely doing something sports-specific. Sports-specific lifts often look outlandish.

I've been doing paused squats up to 3pl8 as rehab for hip tendonitis.

Get stronger faggot

Only reason to have safty bars so high is for pin squats. They're more of an exercise to acclimate to immense weight though. Pretty easy to do with ~100 or more pounds than your 1RM. I find they are more for core bracing and back position than anything.

haters gonna hate man, shit never changes

>>37489339
No rack I've seen in my entire life lets you put the safety bars that high
