The Worlds Strongest Man Attempts Tom Platz Historic Squat Record

Рет қаралды 323,746

Жыл бұрын

The 1993 FIBO trade show in Cologne, Germany, was the location of one of the most intriguing yet underreported contests in the history of bodybuilding. It featured IFBB bodybuilder Tom Platz, facing off against powerlifting legend Dr. Fred Hatfield in a squat competition that would be informally dubbed “The Great American Squat-Off.” Tom went on to win with 23 reps at 525 pounds.
Today, we're going to see if I can set a new record.

It is insane to just casually load 525 and squat it for 24 reps, 3 weeks into squatting again. Well done Moose! Joe Sullivan and Jake Benson trained specifically for the Tom Platz Squat Challenge and got 20 and 17 reps respectively iirc but to do it casually is a whole new level. Additionally Matt Wenning did 520lbs, so you have him beat. Also notably David Ricks (IPF powerlifter) squatted 525lbs for 8 at the age of 62 which I think is really cool

This was truly an awesome achievement. I’m not trying to diminish it in any way, but consider that Tom Platz weighed probably 75-100 lbs less than Mitchell when he performed this feat. I realize that bodybuilders train in higher rep ranges compared to strongmen and powerlifters, so one could argue that Platz had much more training experience with high rep sets. But still, I hope Mitchell’s accomplishment here helps underscore just how amazing Platz was in his time.

Brian Shaw, Big Z, Martins and JF Caron all did 13 reps in the same comp. I'm sure all these athletes can do what Mitch did today. Strongman as a sport has a lot of events where they have to rep out squats and deadlifts so it stands to reason that they would be good at it.

Yeah the depth he gets is much better than the video of the other guys doing it.

Are you people blind? On EVERY SINGLE REP the crease of his hip is above his patella. No exceptions. 0 completed squats.@@CalvinHikes

Respect for squatting 525. Let’s focus on the depth. Tom Platz squatted hams touching calves on every rep. Major difference in a full squat and a powerlifting depth squat. Not taking anything away from your feat! Impressive. Comparing it to another’s feat without recognizing the depth….misses a BIG factor.

Platz was shorter and had wraps+ squat suit. I think it's a comparable feat.

@@GymbroShanJ0 yes he was shorter 👏👏 strong observation skills on than one but not the other two things you said...Platz was wearing a singlet not a suit and he certainly didn't have knee wraps on. You need to do some better research before you comment 👌

Try to break my 20128 lbs sumo deadlift that I did in 51 seconds in 2015 for a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD. I DID 402.5 FOR 50 IN 51 SECONDS BUT IF U DO 495 FOR 41 OR 585 FOR 35 OR 675 FOR 30 YOU WOULD LIFT MORE THEN ME. LETS SEE IT NEXT. I’M ROOTING FOR YOU. YOUR THE MAN TO DO IT.

Eddie Hall deadlift ladder is the most impressive that i've seen, 60KG up to 420KG in 40KG increments and all the way back down again in one set, i suppose to beat it you'd have to do 425KG or something.

@a-a-rondavis9438 Жыл бұрын

I don't think that'll ever be beat. Maybe Thor in his 501 form, but I don't see that kinda prowess in this current crop of Strongmen.

Dude…..that was an insane feature of strength! That damn 25th rep was just an inch deeper than all the other 24 reps before, that‘s what did cost you the 25th rep and breaking the record. I‘m sure that on a really good day and with a cheering counting crowd you would even go above 25 reps. Lots of love from Vienna. Coach Nemo

Very impressive. Both Mitchell Hooper and Matt Wenning are ridiculously strong. That being said, their depths are not the same as Platz. Who did it high bar, not low bar as stated. Again, this guy is the worlds strongest man winner, a beast! But, there is no comparison between these squats and an Olympic ATG squat. They're just not the same, that's all. IMHO Of course Tom Platz is a lot shorter, so he had a definite leverage advantage. Just some observations, all the these lifts are incredible.

@thoughtsuponatime847 Жыл бұрын

Incredible work Mitch! I feel like ranting. The most impressive squat I have ever seen was Big Z doing 329kg for 15 reps on the WSM axle bar. Hooper casually did 235kg for 24 reps Broscience time: In a 1rm calculator, Z's comes to 493.5 kg. This feels about right for peak Z. In a 1rm calculator, Hooper's comes to 429 kg. (probably below Mitch's peak squat) If we reverse the calculations, Z's 493kg squat should be equivalent to... something north of 30+ reps. the calculators online don't go that far up and probably aren't accurate after 10reps. In conclusion, younger Big Z would eat this record for breakfast. P.S: 2 years ago, Z did 320kg for 12 reps in the gym. which comes to about 448kg 1rm. Perhaps he could still beat it if his knees allow. It could be a fun collaboration to see if either of you can break it.
