Squat session 3rd Oct

[Justin Hurley]

We all met up at Body & Mind yesterday to use the monolift.
Carl Grange and Carl Rogers are two weeks out from the GPC worlds and as you know Chris and I are 4 weeks out from WPC/WPO.

Check out the movie clips of the night, didn't get any of me as I couldn't be assed hobbling over to start the camera with my knees wrapped tight.

Yawn.

Nice Vid Justin and some crazy weights on the squat!

Thats the only problem I have with powerlifting, If I was to practice squating to that height I`d never get a rep counted in strongman - way to high!

[Lloyd]

Ah there we are. Good vid, great music and I especially liked Chris's gangster rap impression!!

However, it looked like you were not quite hitting depth! In fact I didn't see many squats hitting depth?! Maybe Bulldog should take a look as well. Looked very strong coming up and maybe it's the camera angle.

[bulldog]

hard to tell with the angle but chris looked very borderline get someone in the right position who will tell u the truth.i know i struggle for depth just add more weight to get down9(works 4 me)i hope .get someone to call 3 2 1 up for depth (just make sure u can get up)

[Phil R]

lots and lots of squats there what weights did the boys get up to

[chris jenkins]

I dont do all my squats that high, I had a single ply centurion suit on and 360kgs seemed pretty heavy. How deep do you go Dale???

The difference between strongman and powerlifting squats is firsty in strongman it ain't your max weight, well if it is, your in trouble.
Secondly your stance is closer which gives greater range of motion. I can come in a closer stance and bounce at the bottom, going 3-4" below parallel, but if I want to squat a maximum for one rep, I need to go wide to incorprate the hips and glutes more, I struggle to break much past parallel with no equipment on, you just don't have the range of motion in your hips with your feet out wide.

I hit 345kg which was easy, was going to go heavier, but used my head and left some in the tank.

Chris hit 360kg but wasn't really motivated to squat heavy as he was sulking because his canvas hadn't come yet, he has it now, so we will see what he can do next week.

Carl Grange squatted 330kg I think and Carl Rogers 340 or 350kg, not 100% sure.

[Mike Adams]

You guys are hitting some crazy weights!! What do guys eat for breakfast??? Must be at least 3 shredded wheat. Good going.

[andy bolton]

your squats look strong chris but when you compete in finland they will be very strict with you so you must get them down deep they always seem to be hard on the english guys good luck see you in finland

[chris jenkins]

Thanks for the positive advice Andy, Il get my ass down lower. See you soon

[Justin Hurley]

Good to have you here Andy.
I got some t-shirts to go away to Finland with, they have 'GREAT BRITIAN POWERLIFTING TEAM' written on them.
I ordered you an XXXL which should fit you, do you need any more shirts for anyone going over with you???

[Rob Thomas]

[Justin Hurley]

I hear your doing well with the Rage X, we going to see 300+kg bench from you??

You using the canvas now?? Like to see you go for Brent's record in one of those.

[chris jenkins]

Can't argue with the depth of that baby!!!

[Welshdragon]

Lol, Thats why I dont squat to parrallel! Most squats in strongman have to be below parrellel and normally your not allowed to wear a suit! I dont wear a belt and its in the back of my head that if I wear knee wraps it will make my knees weak!(my heads fucked,lol)

[chris jenkins]

smoked that puppy dale, cant argue with the depth there. Do you train with Gary Taylor Dale?

Even Mr. Wilkes at the BWLA Commomwealths a couple of weeks back would have passed that one Dale and the judging there was very strict - hence my medals ;-)

bog watcher? im a bomber through and through

[chris jenkins]

From what I have heared about him, it sounds well worth going up to train with him Dale. I dont see why you dont enter some powerlifting shows mate, if your squating like that you shouldnt have any problems...
