no hands squats

[Kristoferep]

was wondering if any of you had any balls to try this? basically you put on the weight on the bar and then you lift off and then put your hands to your sides, you are only using your traps to balance the bar and then squat down and up. saw some big mother doing it on a youtubes video and thought it was cool.

Yeah. A buddy of mine (WSM competitor Laurence Shahlaei) did it with 220kg / about 500lbs

Not something I would try. Seems like a super easy to get hurt.

Prepare to look like a douche when that thing comes crashing to the ground. I lack the coordination to try anything like that.
