Unfortunately that puts the bar way too low. And the only reason it the accidents happen is because the bar gets to flexing a lot and it sinks into my back more and more as it gets heavier

And if u r squatting with full gear (squat suit and wraps) safer to go to a proper powerlifting gym. Train raw at home, and switch to equipped lifting a few weeks before comp.

@@scotpak100 ya I gotcha man I’ve played around with the set ups a lot and with the limited equipment I have and being alone the set up I have is the best I can do. And I would totally go to a powerlifting gym but I am a college student and I play a sport so time is pretty limited to do something like that unfortunately

What's wrong with increasing the height of the safety pins? This way when you hit the pins you know it's time to lift up again and remove the box?

@@ah-rr1lk most of these are old videos, I have started doing exactly what you described but with safety chains hanging from the top of the rack

What this guy is doing is not something to aspire to.

when i squat i dont go ass to grass, i just go pararllel i think thats low enoughgh

Or the depth

Only issue I see here is him not going deep enough. Other than that, I've seen guys go deep with such a stance, kind of depends on body type, flexibility and overall strength. There isn't one, 'true' way to do a squat in regards to foot placement, so long as you aren't wrecking your knees and your quads are engaged.

All good man it’s supposed to be funny! literally clips of me just being a total dumbass in my garage 😂

They all look bad, it's ego lifting.

@PGanon fax asf

None of them were squat fails because none of them were actually squats.

​@SteveBallzack 0:38 this was a squat

@@theman0110 No it wasn't.

Thanks for watching!

@@brooksboth6219 Sure......and that last set was 💰

Lol

That’s what it’s all about. Ego lifting, high squats, and big fails!

I’m naturally stronger with a wider stance. But also I’m training equipped in a lot of these clips so the wide stance can help maximize the carryover.

He wide stances to reduce the ROM to zero lol

Sumo squats are as old as the hills. I was competing with a sumo stance in the early 70's.

he wide stances so he can use the public toilets without touching seat

Wide stance for even ego'er ego lifting

One day they’ll learn that a 1 minute clip on KZfaq represents less than 1% of a persons training.

You know what, you’re right. I think I’m gonna deload to an empty bar and work my way back up 👍🏻

@@brooksboth6219 It's good to see you took Matthew's comment on board when so many would've just opted for a sarcastic retort. Really gives me hope for humanity. 🙂

@@Bullseye_Strength it’s obviously sarcastic haha

@@thizza1938 Well duh...

Seems to work lol, that is a lot of weight

If that’s the term you prefer

No

@@brooksboth6219 u keep ego lifting big man !

Well you probably can’t tell, but each situation was slightly different. And there’s no real way for me to fix it with the set up that I have and the barbells I had available

@Brooks Both lower the monolift attachments. If you think you can handle that weight you can easily squat it out of the cups a few inches at the start. If you use j cups like on the last one where you walked it out. Again, if you walk it out you can squat it out a few inches so lower the j cups. Or add another set of j cups just under the others.

@@JD83000 the thing about the mono lift attachment and my rack is if I lower it one hole it lowers the unrack an insane amount. Obviously I have thought of that lol. The other reason it’s an issue is that Texas Squat bars still have an insane amount of whip when weight gets heavy and the bar is just bending a bunch, which is why I can’t get it back in the rack. These are old videos anyway, it hasn’t happened it a while. Made some adjustments with my foot angle that have seemingly fixed the issue. Next step is to get an even stiffer 30kg bar

@@brooksboth6219 bro lol I do not know what was worst the fails or the form on the fails I really do not know how your knees did not burst out

Ya that’s pretty much the idea

Hey now I’d like to think they’re at least half squats 😉

I wasn’t trying to rerack it when it dropped, my legs were just so taxed and the weight was heavy and I couldn’t take a step forward so in the clear minded state I was in I just decided to drop it lol

To be fair to the guy, even if his true max is 50 pounds less than that.... still far far more than most weightlifters will ever squat in their life lol So basically, even if we deem the 'stance' a bit off, it is still building his strength massively.

I get it I used to be very anti gear before I tried it and still overall prefer raw. For me it’s two things: the adrenaline rush you get from having that much weight on your back, and I love programming and equipped lifting makes that more complicated because there are more variables so I enjoy it even more.

@@brooksboth6219 you know what, ok think I understand that. Thanks for the reply man! Keep on keeping on!

I’m curious as to what has gone too far?

@@brooksboth6219 the distance between your feet lmao xD

@@brooksboth6219 I'm just messing around, squats are squats. I liked the video (:

@@khristophsatori8826 thanks for watching!

Considering he somewhat handled the weight and isn't far off on his true max anyway, I'd say his stance is working lol

Well I’m limited with my set up on what I can change, and each situation was slightly different although it may not seem that way

@@brooksboth6219 can I ask why you squat like that? The stupidly wide foot stance, the half range of motion due to the foot stance? It looks really bad dude and I think you know that your not achieving anything worthwhile doing this.

@@KGlifts because i find it fun and enjoyable. And I’m curious, what would I be “achieving” by squatting differently?
