"Impressive" Cannibal Squats

xtreme-o1 · Sep 14, 2003

Just thought i would chuck a pic of my mate, cannibal doin squats at easter time, "Fucking impressive" if you ask me.
No warps, no belt and this wasn't his max either guys, I think he was weighing about 93kg at the time so is close to 3x his body weight.
What do you think BIGKIWI squat sesion next time your in Qld im pretty sure cannibal will be keen.

|--[\\\]>-------- Man, how many plates is that on a side? I got a buddy who weighs like 260-270 at about 6ft2 or so and he squats 6 plates on a side rock bottom....i myself am not very tall, so squating is easy for me, heaviest i've gone is 4 plates and a 35 for 2 reps, but not rock bottm, but parallel.

Those are some nice deep squats... but at the bottom of the movement his weight is way too far forward. It's all on his toes. You should go give him a lecture on proper form. lol.

265kg or 585 pounds, only short, 5'8" so betetr leverage.
Heels look raised cause of dark sole on shoe
Wish my delts were as big as yours KIWI, so I could get out of squatting too!
When you coming up to the coast for some sun, been 30+ for last five days, only two weeks out of winter!

Yeah man it is 6 plates a side, he got 5 reps at this weight 260kg.
As for his form if anyone has a pic of someone squatting 3x their bodyweight with alot better form, no wraps, no belt remeber, please post it id really like to see it.

Got warm up room tapes from weightlifting at Atlanta 96 olympics, Niam Sulymul...(dunno spelling) attempt a front squat of 195kg five times before making it....at a bodyweight of 65kg. impressive!
Another 72kg lifter back squats 280 like its an empty bar, knees wrapped though, so dunno if counts
