Got to see a 1,000-pound squat saturday

[BodybuildingUniverse]

Done by a 220-pound man - Chuck Vogelpohl - at the IPA Nationals, best veer squat at 220. Previous best was 964 by the great Ed Coan. Pretty exciting and spooky to see someone with that on their back...

thats truely amazing and makes my 235 squat seem very insignificant

My God, I can just feel my spine compressing.

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

makes my 500-pound squat a joke...1,000 is some serious business for sure. he actually bailed on 905 and had top be rescued and then called for 1,000. Balls to the wall man...

HW - how low do they go on those big lifts?

 

[theoak01]

thats what im wondering to ,because when i only go paralell i can throw up about 300 but ass to ankles only 235

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

they break parrallel. Every federation has slightly different standards but no one allows half squats. although I'd be happy with a slight knee bend with 1,000...

 

[I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING]

You kiddin me. I'd be happy to stand with 1,000 on my back for a second. Check that, 500 lbs. Crazy!!
