That's how some people lift. The difference between a rapid lift and a fail is a couple of kilos.

That 230 is ridiculous.

Doesn't have to be perfect, but you shouldn't be doing anything dodgy.

here's my 1RM, I think the back stays pretty strong throughout the lift.

LiE makes things look easy even when hes right at his limit. He seems to have a yes/no function inbuilt. if its gonna happen it will if it isnt, it wont!

Quite a few people are like that.

I myself lift like that. I find it preferable to have the bar half way up and trying to somehow get that last few inches as your form just goes then.

My 200kg squat was a battle, really struggled to get out of the hole! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wEy_yOEP6E

Hello old friend

It's been a while. I came back a couple of months ago. Nice to see nothing much has changed. But keeping a less spammy profile then before.

Some old names aren't here - which is a shame and not a conversation for here

but for reference, the achievement app is called Fitocracy. It's web based, but you can get an app for the iPhone.

You might see reference in peoples posts, when you see a XYZ (+15 points)

Nice to see you again - come and chat in BD if you're still around - would be good to catch up!

LiE · 4 May 2012 at 14:05

Clearly you were too fat

I like to think my core was too strong haha.

The popping sound gave me a fright duing my squats.

Morba · 4 May 2012 at 14:31

LiE · 4 May 2012 at 14:31

Why are you guessing?!

If I remember right, I think he failed 235kg after this.

Hah! No I meant the snapping back vid, not LiEs

Have fun chap.

Keep your cardio up! (If you know what I mean

)

LiE · 4 May 2012 at 14:51

Enjoy Tommy. I hear they have very good relaxing 'supplements' there

Delvis · 4 May 2012 at 14:58

P.S: Please go and have a pint in The Pint, for me? The barman is crackers usually

Gamefreak501 · 4 May 2012 at 15:09

Hehe, I've never been to Amsterdam, but have a good one

I have been looking at LiEs youtube channel (which I may just have to subscribe to) to see how my form compares, and it does seem I have been going waaay too low on the Squats (to the bars, each time).

What are the long term implications of going too low on Squats i.e. knee injury and damage? By the looks of it, going just to parallel is the way to go. Not that my knees have moaned though (yet). But I will be going to parallel I think from next time on.

Kind regards,

David
