Bodybuilders Squat Weird

>>41818788
are you not supposed to go to parallel when squatting high bar?

>>41818788
Well kiddo:

It's called a photoshoot. It doesn't tell anything.

Yep.
Used to read all the fitness mags when i was young and tried to learn Squat form from pics like this.
How i didn't snap my shit up I'll never know.

>>41818969
High bar is generally atg.

>>41818975
Except there are examples of it everywhere, son.

>>41819018
Ok, show us some.

>>41818969
no thats lowbar

>>41818788
>bodybuilders
>squatting to parallel

It's not weird. It is different from what you were taught. There is never just one way to do a lift properly.

>>41819084
The bar is basically on his neck.

>>41818788
because they're squatting in such a way that they feel the most quad activation, not in such a way that they can move the most weight

405 for a guy that size is a fucking joke he can do it with meme form to emphasize quads more without any real risk of injury

Who cares

If it's comfortable for them and works their legs then what difference does it make?

>>41818788
He's in that position for isolation.
That aside, the big thing a lot of you are forgetting is that we're all fucking built differently. My calves and forearms are freakishly long compared to my thighs and upper arms, so I've got running and throwing to a tee, but I've to do some janky shit when squatting or pressing. Same thing if you watch runners, some of them have some weird ass forms, but they're still running a 6 minute mile. There are safe practices and guidelines, but you also have to find the form that's comfortable for you and works for what you want it to. Stop being dumb.

>>41818788
looks a lot better than any powerlifters form I have ever seen, and a lot better than 99% of meme gym goers


sure professional chinese olyfags lift in a more aesthetic way, but they have the absolute optimal proportions

They use the form that builds the most muscle, not the one that memelifters use for maximum weights moved.

mmmh

>>41819650
reading comprehension of stale bread

>>41821485
Atg is only good for glute activation, parallel is optimal for quad activation. Even Arnold advocates it.

>>41818788
besides for the weird wrist position, your elbows SHOULD be pointing towards the ground when you high bar. If your elbows are pointing backwards you have poor elbow mobility and you're not utilizing your upper back as much

>>41821522
So the half rep to move more weight to work their legs more?
Sow hat were you trying to say with your first post lol

>>41818788
every bodybuilder wannabe I know squats with a pussy pad. As you can see the guy on the pic didn't flex his traps properly and put the bar over them, the bar is pressing down one of his vertebra, it hurts and they all end up using pussy pads.

Case in point. Platz lifted like an Olympian with perfect form. Not this shit hybrid we see in OP's pic.

>>41819004

wait wat

>>41821723
the 4plts in OP pic would still squash you like a bug though, so whatever you say m8y

Fake pl8s, bodybuilderz do fake gay lifts and aren't strong. It's not functional strength.

It's like Ronnie Coleman deading 820 for 2, yeah right!

They are all looks.

>>41818788
Bodybuilders are idiots and you should never take their advice.

Only old school bodybuilders looked good, "walk into a club and every pair of panties gets soaked" good.

New school bodybuilders just look like freaks "leave humanity behind"...guess you're gonna fuck metroids then?

I agree OP! Le power lifters are L33T in squatting!

>>41822795
>lifting for girls

When will this meme die?

>>41822930

When most guys say "look good" it means "look good for the people I want to fuck". For others they might mean aesthetic for it's own sake. Neither of which apply to >>41822831

>>41818788
Bodybuilders don't give a shit about what's "proper" or not. They do whatever gives them the most tension in that muscle. That's why they do it that way. Keeps the tension on the quad.

This fagot doesnt know about the sissy squats of tom "let me kill my acl" platz

So all i figured out from fit is you are all a bunch of fagots.
Want to squat like tian tao? Train like him.
Want to look like a mass monster? Train like them.
Want to be a fagot? follow fit advice.

The reason is because they are inflexible. Look at his hands, he is so tight he can't even get proper hand placement. Same with depth. Anyone who says anything other than this is wrong and that's all there is to it.

>>41824842
where in my post did I say he squats wrong >>41823276 you dumb fuck?

>>41825355
Well fuck you too and i guess i read you wrong.

Sorry.

I'm pretty sure it's called a joke. Take a chill pill or at least take your medication.

>>41819004

>>41821607
The "half rep" as you call it, stops at a position where the quads are used more than the glutes.

Way to expose yourself as a retard. Most are overflowing with muscle thanks to all the gear and it makes them more inflexible. That's a fact you faggot feel free to never post here again.

because bodybuilders are fucking retarded. They lift sub optimally and think the shit is working because they're on a stack of so many steroids that literally any exercise at all would "work". You have to be fucked in the head to want to be walking tumor mode

nice meme, but that's 3 red lights for ass off the bench and excessive arch in any sane federation.

>>41826621
It's actually not. Powerlifting requires shoulders on the bench butt on the bench and heels on the ground

>>41826612
This. They actually encourage body builders to stretch so you can increase ROM. Helps build muscle. Only dude bros a d frat guys get I flexible cause they don't stretch.
Fucking retard.

That guy is a fucking powerlifting champ.

Powerlifting and good form do not belong in the same sentence together.

>>41826666
what a waste of perfectly good digits baka it's always the roided out bodybuilders doing quarter ROM bench presses for reps in my gym

A female(?) equipped lifter with a cylinder for a body is the exception not the rule in powerlifting. Bodybuilders are universally retarded tho

>>41826612
>>41826648
Listen you dumb niggers I'm not saying you aren't right. Everyone should stretch. What i am saying is that the average rouid head in most gyms are inflexible as all fuck. Again that's why anytime yo see the average person squatting there rom is horrible. Calm your autism.

>>41826798
So just stretch. Problem solved.

powerlifting and super isolation are both retarded

the body is built to work together, using the muscles, not all the tendons and momentum you can half tear apart over a silly number

glenn pendlay has it right

>>41826697
Yet pro bodybuilding is far more prestigious than powerlifting and its meme federations.

>>41827884
They're both a total fucking joke.

>>41827911

This, nobody who isn't actually involved in either sport cares about either sport.

kill yourself you utter imbecile, the question has already been answered, they squat in the most optimal manner for quad actvation. the rest is meaningless

>Tom Platz interview

>>41827911
Yeah, right. You ask someone on the street about bodybuilding and they can always think of at least a few guys, usually Arnold. No normie gives a shit about powerlifting, however.

>>41818788
Body builders are dumb hunks of meat. Use strength athletes as your form benchmark.

Your quads are maximally challenged at the bottom of any heavy squat you dipshit.
