How much can you squat??

[b fold the truth]

I would call BS but most of the posters in this thread are probably playing Warcraft right now....

Useless w/ out vids.

I saw a guy 'squatting' 485 last night. He looked like the kind of guy that would start a thread like this.... I go lower on a Push Press then he was on what he called a PL Squat.

Oly Depth w/ No Belt, No Wraps, No Spotter w/ pic of the wheeels or a vid would make this place much more interesting.

And BW vs. Squat weight means more than what you squat. So if your 250 and squatting 500 that is not so super cool.

Ouch...

I have this on video. From a few weeks ago. One year ago I couldn't get 600 to depth in full squat gear in a PL stance.

592 in loose APT Knee Wraps, APT Wrist Wraps, no belt, fast, well below depth.

You know what I mean... look at some of these claims. You have to know most are nonsense. Unless this board is filled w/ Natl. Level strength athletes I call BS.

I travel a lot. Go to a lot of gyms. Train with Natl. level PL's & WL's and some of these numbers are just not right.

I know EXACTLY what you mean big man. I checked 700+ because I have done 800 in full PL gear and 661 raw with a PL stance before. I've done 602 just as in the picture above.

I love going to gyms where an 800 squat is somebody's opener..

What is so funny is most of these guys should be competing in PL with their HUGE squats. I looked at the Natl. PL stats a sec ago and half of these posters must be top 100 PL'rs....

All I know is my squat is huge, and everywhere I go I don;t see these EF BB types doing much of anything but flexing thier abs in the locker room mirro and talking LOUDLY about thier gear use.

I guess I will see most of you in the warm-up room at the Arnolds in a few months.

Though I agree, I would say a lot of people attracted to this board are probably in the upper tier of their respective areas. I would wager a guess that a lot of people on here that COULD compete in pl contests. I was searching around and found a lot of regional contests with people in the top tiers doing less total weight than I would venture a guess a lot of people on here can do.

On the other hand, theres lots of people who say outrageous numbers who never even post pictures or anything so I cant disagree.

What's a lot for someone who weighs 215 (me)? I didn't think 380 for 5 was all that much in the grand scheme of things (it is for my gym, but it's really the exception). I have no interest in going to a Powerlifting meet of any sort but I am a little curious how I'd stack up at a small regional thing.

As an aside, when you're having a bad week and your ego has taken a bit of a hit, my gym is where you want to be b/c I'm by a good stretch the strongest guy there so I get my ego stroked quite a bit. (Overall, I would prefer a gym with really big guys so I could learn something but that doesn't appear to be an option around here in T.O.)
