Needsize Squat Video

[2Thick]

Great lifts, but the back was moving a bit. It is normal, but watch out if you go too heavy. This is just some advice from my powerlifting background.

Good advice, that's one of the biggest reasons i rarely drop under 5 reps, I'm way scared of hurting myself

Some of you guys are way too critical in terms of evaluating his form. I have been lifting for nearly 8 years and I think he has excellent form. This is a great example of a deep squat.

When you squat past parallel, a lot of stress goes to the back. Needsize does a great job of keeping the movement solid and I see no problems with his squat at all. I see no signicant rounding or hunching while he performs the movement.

Remember, this is nearly 450lbs ass to the floor squat.

Many people can barely shift 225lbs. For those who provide criticism. . .think about the weights you are using. You may need to make some significant improvements yourself.

Again, great work Needsize!!

Thanks bro, it is good to hear someone else that agrees with me, otherwise it just sounds like I'm making excuses. Through the whole lift I concentrate on keeping my back as straight as I can, but once I drop below parallel it's extremely hard to keep it straight.
I've given it a lot of thought over the years, and have found that, even if I lean a bit as a result, that my quads still grow much more when I go ass to the floor. And really, thats what it's all about for me, building huge legs....

That's a high bar Olympic Squat right there! A heavy one at that

yeah the angle does make like your leaning too far forward. I hope to be using that kind of weight one day. Great

It's impossible to keep a back perpendicular to the ground at that depth. A little thing called combined center of gravity. The bar needs to be over his heels (or actually in FRONT of his heals to balance his bodyweight). It's of course, impossible to have the bar as far forward as heels when at that depth without leaning forward. Has notihng to do with strength, has to do with falling over.

well if your wearing olympic weightlifting shoes you can keep pretty upright, raised heel allows for that.

using a wider stance as well allows for a more upright stance.

But a wider stance involves more hips in the drive, and I'm only doing it for big quads. I could squat more as a powerlifter but it's really not that important, plus the real heavy stuff scares me sometimes

I use a stance that is about 16inch from heel to heel. I'm the same height as you. And I can definitely feel lots of quads. As long as your knee goes well forward, you will be getting lots of quad simulation.

Is that how wide your stance is?

I'll vid cap myself squatting tommorrow. I'm not using as much as you, but its relatively very heavy for me

In any case it doesn't matter, if you feel comfortable then its all fine as far as I'm concerned.

Keep pushing, if you can rep out over 600lbs, then you'll be up there with some of the strongest Olympic Lifters!

my stance is actually around 12"
