    The Upper Range of Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density? An Examination of the Current World Record Holder in the Squat Lift

    R. D. Dickerman1, R. Pertusi2, G. H. Smith2
    1 Surgical Neurology Branch, national Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA
    2 Department of Surgery, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, TX, USA

    Weight-bearing exercise is known to improve bone mineral density, however, excessive forces exerted on the lumbar spine can be pathologic. Cadaveric studies have calculated a hypothetical “critical compression force” at which the lumbar spine would suffer collapse. In addition, recent studies have suggested that bone density correlates with strength. Thus far studies have failed to examine elite power athletes to determine the possible upper range for bone mineral density and critical compression force. Therefore, we recruited the current world record holder in the squat lift, with a record squat lift > 469 kg, for an examination of lumbar spine bone mineral density. The subject had dual energy x-ray absorptometry (DEXA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed of the lumbar spine. The subject also had serum chemistries, cell blood count and testosterone levels performed. DEXA scan revealed the highest bone mineral density reported to date. MRI revealed normal alignment, no evidence of disc herniation or compressive disc disease. There was no frank or neural foraminal canal stenosis. The estimated compressive force generated on his lumbar spine during the squat lift of > 469 kg doubles the previously reported critical compression force. This case study supports the previously described relationship between strength and bone density and redefines the upper limits of bone density in strength athletes.

    What's he wearing when he squats?
    Surely the mechanics of it aren't such that the whole 469kg force is exerted on the bones in his lumbar spine? I mean I get what they're saying regardless - a human can put that weight on their back and squat it without their back collapsing. But I'm curious to know the actual force the bones themselves can take.
    Are they always/usually the first to go, give out, if the weight is too heavy?

    Dexa booked for friday.
    No idea what to expect (never been tested by any method)
    I don't know if I want it to be low, or high. I'll look the same regardless of what the machine says, its its high, it'll be easier to look better, right.

    I had one a few months ago for something unrelated to fitness. I was getting results at my normal doctor appointments and was just told 'everything's alright.' If I had of known what it actually was at the time I would've asked a few questions :o

    Your results should still be on file, you could request a copy, working out BF% from the data looks pretty simple

    So I'm gonna finally get a belt...

    I don't want to spend that much. Looking at 2 or 3 here on amazon (I've a bunch of other stuff in my cart there so really just want to make one order off this site if possible)

    Here's two double prong jobs, the first one got a good review from some lad that seems to have a clue at least:
    http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Power-Weight-Lifting-Royal/dp/B0028H1BD8/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1295483067&sr=1-1
    http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Power-Weight-Lifting-Black/dp/B0028H00PS/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1295482518&sr=8-21


    ...and here's a singleprong one from the same supplier, I'm thinking of going for this, assuming it's the same quality as the other two:
    http://www.amazon.com/Power-Lifting-belt-prone-Large/dp/B0038OSSK4/ref=pd_sbs_sg_10

    They're all 4" wide and 3/8" (9.52mm) thick.

    Any advice on the belts above appreciated, thanks.

    Single prong thread design looks ghey, but it's soooo much easier to put on and take off than a double prong. Not that double prong is hard... Unless you're L.

    All belts look grand like. There's not really a whole lot you can do to f*ck them up other than messing up the dimensions. Go onto elitefts.com and compare to their belts. You can largely disregard thickness. Anything in the 9-13mm range'll be fine.

    I thought vegans only ate shit that fell out of trees.


    On a related note;

    What is the story with people who are vegetarians on "moral" grounds eating stuff that tastes and looks like meat?

    I mean, have a steak ffs.

    I'd say its got to do with the fact that they object to eating meat based on "morals" rather than look or taste.

    Just saying

    Well why don't they raise their own animals, on a nice fuffly cloud and feed them with love and affection and then when they die of old age eat them.

    They'd be buying it organic grass in little tubs, and feeding it to daisy, who naturally would live in the bedroom because they love animals so much that they couldn't leave her outside in the cold.

    I mean what if daisy got the sniffles from being out in the cold?

    Couldn't be giving her antibiotics, that's wrong.
