Cant Squat Kunce
Yay finally have something to contribute to this 
The gym I go to at the moment is focussed on these "Boxing for Fitness" classes - great classes, lots of fun and a really good general conditioning session. There is one guy that I've noticed though who does the classes regularly, and EVERY time he then proceeds to the weights area after the class, takes the bar from the bench press, sits down at the lat pulldown station, loads between 5-15kg on the bar (total - and no consistency to how much he puts on there... some days he's got 2.5 on each end, other days theres 7.5 - always with the locking collars on to stop the plates falling off) and proceeds to do forearm curls.
He never does ANYTHING else - just sits there for 10-20 minutes cranking out his forearm curls, packs it all up again and goes home.
It probably wouldn't seem so strange if (1) He ever did anything else; or, (2) if he just used one of the pre-set barbells on the rack right next to where he sits to do this every time...

LOL.
That planche sort of dude is farkin' impressive. I LOVE that stuff. Unfortunately, it's rare to see anyone with a larger lower body doing anything half decent. Ever wondered why all the barstarrz guys wear massive baggy pants
And canvas shoes FTW. Barefoot always at home but if I go to a gym then it's either canvas flats, volleys or these sweet as wetsuit material boat shoes. (used them in strongman comp actually)

some spank with the leg press FULLY loaded with teh spring stopper 2 holes down, so 3inch rom..and he basically was letting it bounce off the spring, the kicker was he had his dad??? recording his 2 reps at a time, failing on the second one each time..
what a waste of time.
and he didnt unload it, tos.

Too many young guys lifting too much and then when I tried to give advice I got laughed at because I AM a girl. Then they shut up when I was working out, I think they thought I was on my way to the treddy, then one of the idiots walked straight into my front raise, oops sorry it hit your head.
Today I saw a middle aged man doing that.
Also saw some decent deadlifting and benching, which was nice for a change.
Why would u ever even train at snap? Lol
Yeah I'm surprised it does. It has lots of good gear.. heaps of barbells, dumbbells up to 70 kg, racks, and some cool old nautilus machines.. but yeah still has bosu balls for people to do their dumbbell curls on.

^^ as far as boasting about "squatting" 200 thats pretty shit BUT as far as them doing 1/4 ROM squats off a box/bench its more for power, explosive training. A lot of sports training doesnt require as much emphasis on full ROM squatting versus powerful explosive strength in certain areas of the ROM.
Lots of football players train this way, it seems counterproductive to a lifter but there is a purpose behind it as far as specific sports training. Thats not to say that they shouldnt still train full ROM squats as well.

Kunce in training
I see this milf every Sunday morning at the gym, works her arse off, lifts heavy and solid but then undoes all my respect for her with this.....
Hmm I really don't see how it could be more beneficial than doing full range of motion squats with lighter weight and building explosive strength through the whole ROM.

What dafuq has box squatting and quarter reps got to do with being explosive???
