Looks like 140 kilos and change.


Still impressive, that's like 20 kilos less than I deadlift for 5 and the dude's manhandling it.

Yeah but your a pussy and he isnt. lol.

WTF was the point if this? I wasn't criticizing the guy.


But he does have a rice dick.
 
my friend who is an olypic lifter is 43 and been competing since he was 15. he has no knee probs. i think we already decided in another thread that deep squatting is better for you knees than high squatting. but as with any sports related activity there is always gonna be some injuries. i wonder how many folks on here get drunk on occasion? thats prolly more dangerous than squatting deep.
 
Excluding some people on this thread and you know who you are...

-Others shut the fuck up and deep squat.

I wasn't so much referring to the depth of the squat as being detrimental as I was the stress that the olympic lifters are placing on their medial knee components. However, the deeper you squat the greater the stress placed upon the knee.

i do agree thast olympic style lifting puts the lifter in a more vulnerable position.

but those that love to compete take risks in any sport. i would think sports like football and soccer would be harder on the knee than lifting. years ago when i was a cardio freak and played raquette ball several times a week my knees, esp my right one, stayed sore. as long as i wrap my knees now when getting to 500+ squats i dont have near the pain i had playin raquette ball.

good thread with some nice comments.
 
SOB she is strong, but that looks like my knees would hate me.

Yes I agree, high end athletes aren't about health, the idea that they are there to do anything but win is kind of old and stupid I think.
