Gonna go ahead and post a picture of myself and my business card.

Definitely not. I think it's obvious we posted legit footage. He literaly said for sherdog in that one video and did the proposed lift. It's him. I also posted a bunch of occasional shit includimg videos.

I don't follow this sub too closely plus with today's tech i could probably get DJT to give this sub a shoutout...but i'll take your word for not being the same person.

Ok I'll take your word for it.

I wish that was the case... it's much better than the reality of how these threads historically have turned out in terms of staying on topic.

They effectively just turn into the Pub.

I suspect that 'street fight' would be something out of Fight Club between Tyler Durden and The Narrator...

You broke the First Rule!

Dude he is my fake AI account. Can you please get it banned ? I just use the Hama alt for trolling.

AND the second rule!

Haven't touched a barbell since December and just back squatted 455lbs for a triple. Wya @Baby Hanma

I think I can do 3 to 5 reps with 405 on low bar, minimum depth back squats.

As far as lifts I’m actively and currently working on though… 275 pounds on front squats, ATG for a five rep max. There’s a video of me doing four reps with that weight, but that’s now what I do paused.

I’m a strong guy man. Right now, I’m more focused on nutrition-maxing. I’m actually doing a proper diet this time. You can read more in my recent thread about fat loss.

The estimated 1 rep max for squatting 320 pounds for 11 reps is beyond 405. So if I can do 435 for a one, I can probably do 405 for three reps.

Your reps weren't to depth and you didn't stand up fully at the top.

2-3 of those 11 reps hit depth and you failed when you started to get there.

Instead of guessing maxes off sub max high rep sets, just put some weight on the bar and see what you can do.

It will make you a better lifter. Nobody is going to care if your 1RM is lower. Then you can actually see whether you are improving.

Same thing with your 275lb Front squat. You can probably do more, but you are scared to put weight on the bar because you don't want to fail.

It was to depth. I’m smart. I know better.

Your hips aren’t nearly low enough for ATG on the front squat which is usually the same as a deep Olympic / high bar. But in your defense it looks like an anatomy / mobility issue. Looks more like bare minimum high bar depth.

A good ATG is usually ass to ankles / low calf. Your hips are pretty high and knee level. Start doing some overhead squats bar only and ankle mobility work. You need to get in your hips / break the hips to claim atg. Watch Clarence Kennedy squat.

Not here to break your balls, keep training but maximus_ is giving you some fair criticism.

Alright.

I'll go post a video of me in a few weeks in an angle where you all can see that my low bar back squat is to depth.

I want you to watch this short video.



That's what I define as ATG. Clarence's ATG front squat is better, but he is built different. There are a lot of guys above who can really go only that low on the front squat. Hossein Rezazadeh is one. Ilya Ilyin is another. I just have the same anatomy.

Also, you have to keep in mind that an ATG front squat is higher than an ATG back squat. Back squats (low bar or high bar, wide stance or narrow stance) allows you to sit back more than front squats, giving you space to really get deep down there.

Nah you’re wrong.

The reason I told you to do overhead is it’s the most demanding to remain upright and get the most depth. The high bar isn’t easier to get ATG over the front or overhead.

It’s the squat that demands you to remain the most upright. Overhead > front > high bar > low bar of out SSB in there between the front and high bar.



Again, I learned this through practice. The overhead squat basically tells you how bad your mobility is on the front and high bar.

I’ll check it out.

I mentioned in my other post that anatomy might be the culprit. You’re short with thick short legs. You don’t look like the most mobile guy. That’s not a knock. You do look like someone that can get strong because of these things (short stubby legs less travel). That being said, you might not be getting that clean ATG I showed. But you can definitely benefit from mobility work. Ankle, hip etc and get lower.

Edit:


Like I said the more upright you are the deeper you’re capable of getting. It’s just mobility might become a limiting factor. Like I said in my first post get in your hips to get ATG.

Yes Brian is getting into ATG range on the high side. Like I said ankle to lower calf range. You’re not that low if you’re using him to support you going ATG.

very interesting
thanks for posting
I have also noticed from doing mobility and over head squats it has really improved my shoulder mobility

lolol everytime he talks about that 315 for 11 reps. You always shut him down. GJ for keeping him honest.

ATG is total bullshit crutch that most people use. Here is a video of me filmed on a potato front squatting when I very first got into lifting. ATG was all of the rage. All that it did was hold me back. Going deep for the sake of "ATG brah" is ridiculous. Do you really think I should take all front squats that deep because I can? I'll still catch some snatches ridiculously low, but other than that, it has zero use and keeps lbs off of the bar.

I am actually talking about his 320x 11 Back Squat video he has put up before.

It's linked in this thread from memory or you can find it off the Youtube video. I am not talking ATG, I am talking his back squat just being high and him not actually standing at the top of each rep.

He only starts hitting depth at the end and fails within a rep or three when he does.

I went through the same period of chasing ATG. Then I started to have sacroiliac pain and occasionally just have my back go from the old butt wink. I saw all this stuff online saying the butt wink doesn't cause issues, so I kept persisting. Now I just make sure I squat to depth and sometimes it's ATG and sometimes it's parallel depending on my hips.

I don't Oly lift as a sport, so I don't need to be able to catch a clean in the hole, so who cares. I wish I had the should mobility to catch a snatch low.
