No its not..... You just bend forward, and crawl out.
No need to drop it back and jump across the room.

That said, awesome vid.

Hey, you can get down there you can lean forward....

On a second view though, it would be more difficult for him to lean forward with that grip.
It would be harder to drop it backwards if his elbows were further back.

Anyway, it doesn't matter how heavy the weight, if you fail, you fail.

The idea behind dumping it back and shooting forward is to keep the bar away from your neck. Neck no like bar.

I turned off my Firefox IQ filter earlier. That's how I ended up on this thread too.

Ah, it wasn't until he said it in the video that I got "friends don't let friends squat high" ... I thought it was going to be a protein filled version of Reefer Madness or something.

Just saw a regular in TF. He takes up nearly every plate around him, takes about 20 minutes doing his squat routine. They are the shallowest squats I've ever seen. Pretty sure his belt is too big for him as well.

Here's an idea, instead of using 10+5+5 try a 20kg plate.

No way could he have done that if FM104 was on.

Check out the hooks are taken out so he's no option but to go to failure. Dude's an incredible lifter.

TF Sandyford?
