Thanks Eric.

nice work!

[Big o Boy]

OMG, that is awesome! nice 'n deep too. I wish I had that kinda power. :eek: :eek:

[NateDogg]

Wow, nice lift Latty. :eek:

[Maki Riddington]

I don't know what your bit about, "for the equip haters," is about, but nevertheless it's a damn impressive lift for your bodyweight!!!

Great job. good squat. How do you like that Canvas? I myself have a double denim squat suit, which I am growing to love more and more.

That is great! Congratulations!

I am curious, what would you get with that depth with just a belt? Do you have any idea?

[Chris Rodgers]

Thank you guys.

Maki- I just know that some guys are against equipment and that squat suit is about as hardcore as you can get. Thanks for the compliment though. :D

Bench- I love it. I thought from what everyone said that I should get one because I am strong at the top and slow out of the hole. So far I have used it twice and hit big PR's each time. Can't wait til my first meet in it. I use Metal briefs underneath it.


Chris- I'm really not sure. I don' go too heavy on rglar squats with just a belt. The only time I do is on l box squats belo parallel with a narrow stance. I have hit as high as like 320 or so on those. With as wide a stance as I go on comp squats I'd really beat up my hips maxing without some sort of briefs or suit. Maybe during my next cycle I will try some heavy squats with a narrower stance to see where I'm at.

That is awesome. You looked slow in the hole but still fought through, that's great focus!

No problem, I was just curious. I was not going to use your response as fodder for argument on the equipment issue, I just wanted to get an idea of how much difference you were getting with the stuff.

[Paul Stagg]

Well, Latty's low box squat is a little less than mine (my low box PR is 335, I think)

My 1RM in the gym with a belt and wraps with a narrow stance (so I fit in the rack) to USAPL depth is 425. I'd guess Latty is probably somewhere close to that.

It depends on a lot of factors, though - where each of us is weak, leverage, stuff like that.

[Adam]

Nice work latty!
Your going to be outsquating Pete soon;)

[Maki Riddington]

Latty, you're a legend in the making!!!!

[ElPietro]

Ace squat. B!tch. I can't believe you got through it considering how slow the ROM was. Good job.

[Chris Rodgers]

Thanks guys.

[Bam Bam]

you da man lats

[DK]

That's pretty cool that you make vids to check your form. That squat is crazy. Your dead and squat are the same. weird.

[Xg74]

Nice job man! You are beginning to become a monster!


Squat- 330(sanctioned), 485(gym)
Bench- 250(sanctioned), 285(gym)
Deadlift- 480(sanctioned), 485(gym)
Total- 1,010(sanctioned), 1255(gym)
Does the number 85 have some significance? ;)

[Goin_Big]

Hey latty, I just wanted to tell you that was quite an impressive video. It looked like a little kid lifting it though :D Go eat something damnit, lol.

[FortifiedIron]

hows the 500 dl coming along Latty?

[Chris Rodgers]

We'll see on August 30th. :)

[Ironman8]

Nice bro!

[Frankster]

Whoa.. amazing.. keep it up!

[Deciever]

chris - you got like nothing out of the suit on that attempt. You'ev got way over 500 in you

[DK]

How come your squat just shot up? It wasn't too long ago that you hit 4 plates, and now your flirting with 5?

[Chris Rodgers]

Better form+Better gear= better squat :D
