To the floor?

What does that mean Sherro?

Too me he looks like he went just pass parallel.

Massive squat non the less.

The depth on that for multi ply/big fuck off unit was pretty good really lol

Unless parallel has a new meaning (which it basically does in multi-ply) it wasn't even parallel. But deep compared to some of the other crap that gets put up.

Then how can it be a World Record?

Because multi-ply feds only give lip service to the term parallel.

I'm not taking anything away from the lifters themselves (that was still a fucking impressive squat), they all squat to the depth that will get passed, but rather the feds and judges which have departed so far from the definition of parallel they may as well be using some Non-Euclidean geometry.

Probably because the judges pass the lift, so it counts

Looking at his stomach though, that's only double BW for him.

Not sure if we're watching the same video. That was a clearly parallel squat.

I just remember why I stopped posting on forums.

It was deep by SPF standards. But I was more laughing at the head ref cheering him on with her hands in the air half way through the lift. That says it all really - he could've squatted an inch higher and they still would have passed it. It's all about the lifter after all. Not the lifter's fault obviously - looks like he could've gone an inch deeper if he was required to.

Which still wouldn't be a legal depth squat according to most powerlifting rule books.

Sherro, i never know if you're being serous or not when you say stuff like "to the floor".

They don't call me a man of mystery for no reason.

Well you must get upset very easily...

 

[lozzo]

when going for world records its simply dumb to expect they're going to squat deep. It looked like a good squat to me.

 

[Shrek]

Considering his wide stance, short legs and not going deep his ROM was bugger all.

Like breaking the 100m world record but only running 70.

That's Powerlifting.
