This man has been squatting for three years, does his form reflect

Is that barbell brigade? Pretty jealous desu

>>39370605
Yes, he does work out in one of the best gyms in the country

>>39370605
? its literally just a couple of squat racks

>>39370596
first three reps were okay. remainder didn't look like proper depth.
>195 after 3 years and still questionable form
probably not gonna make it 2bh

>>39370626
What about the lumbar flexion and chest caving in?

>>39370596
Dude has some long ass femurs (thigh bones) so that's why he folds over like that to hit depth also maybe he has injuries or something that hinder his squat? His leverages definitely don't help.

>>39370618
Barbell Brigade is a sick gym and got a really great community and lifting environment.

>>39370639
Even with long femurs the back should be straight and the bar path should be straight

>>39370596
How is he at 195 lbs in 3 years? You should be definitely be lifting 3 plates by then.

>>39370667
Diet, 50 percent of lifters are skellies/fatties who cant stick to a cut/bulk and spin their wheels

>>39370667
thats retarded mindset that everyone increases weight year by year and becomes a olympic tier athelete.

>>39370616
I see you alan

>>39370689
3 plates isn't Olympic tier, 4 plates is.

>>39370656
I don't remember saying that his back or bar path shouldn't be straight. I was simply saying he has some long ass femurs. I put him in squat shoes, lower the weight and get him doing low box squats and high bar paused squats so he's more upright

>>39370596
Bad leverages

shit mobility

It's really nice of you to make a thread about your...friend ;)

>>39370689
>4 plate squats are impressive to normies
what

>>39370596
But yeah tell "him" to look slightly up, like look at something on the wall that's high up (not straight up, just enough to keep the head up) instead of looking down at a ground, and also keep his chest up.

>>39370737

unless you're female not even 4pl8 is impressive
>>39370706
73kg oly lifters squat over 6pl8

Come back and post the webm of his spine snapping the fuck up plz.

>>39370754
Nice, now all we need is Mike to start lifting.

>>39370763
Mike would have manlet leverages and African genes so he'd probably do ok

>>39370754
Rico Suave probably strongest in FGC. There's also that really big guy who enters EVO every year and he's always in a vest. I've forgotten his name but he's a big guy. Not LI Joe

Man it really sucks doing squats as a lanklet. I feel that guy's pain.

>>39370821
>Man it really sucks doing squats as a [idiot with terrible form]. I feel that guy's pain.

>>39370596
Why is he leaning so far forward?

His body is folding like a pair of pants

>>39370755
>415lbs is not an impressive squat, despite being over 2x bodyweight

ok dude.

>>39370954
A 60kg guy could squat 120kg (2.5pl8) x2 bw but I wouldn't call that impressive.

A 150kg guy squatting 300kg (7pl8) is impressive though.

John Haack (the ipf 83kg raw world champ) has squatted 312.5kg at 86kg bw which is 3.6x bw.

Unless you're benching 4pl8 it isn't impressive

>>39371041
Not sure where that data came from but I'm 181 and already reached class I in 2 years of training. It's not hard to get a 4pl8 squat

>>39370667
This is what stresses me the fuck out. I'm just starting and I see shit like this and panic. Dear god what if I never progress in 3 years.

>>39371061
yeah true

that's why I see everyone at my gym squatting 4plate to depth all the time.

>>39371041
>talking about raw drug tested ipf lifters
>links untested lolfed standards

>>39371086
Watch your diet. Its the difference between spinning your wheels and wasting time in the gym for nothing and getting esstetik and swol

>>39371041

/fit/'s standards are a lot higher than average it's expected.

>>39371089
Wouldn't that mean that the standards are even lower?

That's kind of in my favor

>>39371105
That's ironic given how most people here don't look all that good

>>39371088
>commercial gym
Because the overweight dude trying to lose weight will be squatting for strength/size gains
That cardio bunny girl who runs on the treadmill for 30 mins then does an ab and butt "toning" routine will definitely be trying to squat for strength and size.
or that awkward teen who just watched a zyzz video quarter squatting 1pl8 for 5 sets of 20 like his favourite natty bodybuilder

Go to a pl gym and 4pl8 is nothing.

Just because fucktards don't aim for something or don't know how to lift correctly doesn't make it hard. You can spend all day chopping trees but that won't make you good at carpentry.

If the average guy trained correctly for a couple years they'd hip 4pl8 easily

>>39371107
You'd think so but IPF is the largest powerlifting federation and therefore has a much larger genetic pool of lifters.
Even in the USAPL, 9 198lb lifters totalled more that 1698 (considered internationally elite by USPA standards that you posted) even more in the IPF worldwide total more than those 9 lifters from america
The fact that natural lifters can get to those untested master/elite standards in 3-4 years of training means that those standards really are quite low in terms of human potential

>>39371113
Powerlifters are faggots though

I lift to look good, not to be a fat faggot

>>39371112
>That's ironic given how most people here don't lift
ftfy

>>39370667
hes also a vegan

>>39371102
What does this even mean though? High protein?

>>39370727
in my gym nobody could even do a 3pl8, even though we have guys who have been there for 9+ years. people just cheer for like a 100 kg squat.

Suits me fine, Im not far from the guy in ops webm but ive been only lifting seriously for a few months.

Fits standards are high even compared to powerlifting gyms out in the real world.

The real dick measure of /fit/ isn't how much you can lift, but how high your standards are. Doesn't matter if a person can't lift 3 pl8 squat, only 6pl8 and up is impressive!

Remember to excessively brag about how fast you attained arbitrary goals with no consideration to starting point of people being individuals with different athletic backgrounds.


To be baptized in /fit/ you must brave a sea of flames and emerge unscathed.

If your fee fees are ever hurt they will smell the weakness and gang up on you.

>>39371191
This

His form is funny but I do the same kind of form. I'm doing lowbar with long femurs and I have to do that form myself.

>>39371204
That means your bar path isn't straight

>>39370596
I've been lifting for 6 months and I already do 255 for 5reps.
>tfw I didn't fall for the SS is a meme meme

Relax dude. I've been lifting for 2, and most of it has been pretty shit but every now and then I get a good 2 or 3 month bulk in and my squat went up (60kg - 80kg first time, 80kg - 100kg second). As your understanding of form, mobility, etc. ramps up, and you maintain consistent nutrition and discipline with your workouts you'll hit it no sweat. Little strokes fell great oaks.

>>39371424
of course

thats how i squat.. no idea how to fix it.

Keep ya head up, breathe

>>39371157

It means eat at a surplus so your body actually builds muscle.

>>39372018
I have femurs several miles long and I do high bar, femurs are a meme you fucking cucks

>>39370596
>buttwink and diving

>>39372135
I'm not saying you can't do it, it's simply not the best choice if you want to squat as heavy as possible

>>39372220
That depends on alot more than just femur length

Does he have cancer or something? Jesus.

>>39370596
Where did Gootecks post this?

>ITT: if you are a serious lifter you have to be squatting 4pl8s ATG like the bar was empty in less than 3 years or else you are a DYEL who will never make it
Never change /fit/

>>39372261
Well I've only been lifting for like 3 months now, skipping days now and then and I'm at a 180lb squat for 3x5, i'm dyel too but something seems off if he hasn't even passed 2pl8 for reps in 3 years, he's definitely not eating enough but at the same time I don't understand how you can't hit 2pl8 after 3 years of training even with a shit diet.

>>39371173

They look underwhelming and would look miles better on a BB routine

>>39372240
Not really. The ratio between femur lenght and your height is the most important factor

>>39370596

>counting high bar as squatting

Front squats are literally the only variation that can be considered "squats".

Any form of back squat just throws the weight entirely on your posterior chain and eliminates all use of quads. That's why front squats are the only squats that count

>>39370639
My gym looks exactly like this except more platforms and 3 additional rooms for cardio, dumbells, and a machine room. BBB is overpriced for what it is

>>39370667
>3pl8 in 3 years
3pl8 is 6months to a year.
try 5pl8, bozo

>>39372615
You are literally paying for the environment and Instagram popularity if you pay for membership at BBB.

>>39370596
Idk why people are saying that's good form. The dude it bending completely over at the bottom. Back should be relatively straight, barbell should follow straight path.

>>39372307
You're wrong

>>39370596

Been lifting for 3 years and I never squat. It's simply not efficient for everyone.

>>39372639
so whats your background?

whats your age.

>>39371086
you really need to just eat if you want progress. eat, and get plenty of sleep. it isn't actually a meme. drinking milk definitely helps. rip knows what he's talking about.

>>39372651
You look like you never went to college

>>39370596
Looking down for low bar is literally the worst fucking cue

All it will do is lean you even more forward than you already are.

Even if you're squatting low bar you should stay upright as possible. Looking forward (not straight up like some faggots do) helps.

I get what you are saying. But 195 lbs after 3 years is definitely not what I would call progress. Even a small girl would be able to squat more than that after 6 months.

If you aren't hitting 225 after 1 year, you need to reevaluate what you are doing. I'm not saying you should be hitting 3pl8 in under a year, but even that is manageable for most.

>>39372674
I'm getting memed right?

I've been squatting for 3 years now and my legs look nothing like that i can even squat 4 pl8

>>39370689
The retarded mindset is that 3pl8 is Olympic tier

t.manlet

So when you guys say the bar path isn't straight you mean when he wobbles forward? How do you fix that? I try to be careful but I'm a lanklet/femurlet too and when I'm progressing on weight I tend to wobble like that as well.

>>39373368
focus on keeping the weight over the middle of the foot. if you feel like the weight is shifting to your toes then you're doing it wrong. also note that with light weights the bar path won't be completely vertical because the weight has to come a little bit forward to counteract your butt and thighs going backwards. the heavier the weight, the more vertical the bar path will look. but again, the main point is balancing the weight over the middle of the foot and shifting it to your toes.

>>39372651
Looking great man. What do you do for legs?

This guy's femur is literally longer than his torso what the fuck

His squats look like shit, but honestly no matter how good his technique with proportions like that they're always going to look shit.

>>39372622
When people say the back should be straight they mean it should be straight as in not round not as in completely vertical. Try squatting without ever bending at the hips and you won't go past a quarter squat.
