    powerlifting squat is a quarter squat combination with a goodmorning, it has half the muscle activity of a full squat.

    you think it is impressive to partially squat 315 kilos without equipment? how about you learn something about real strength and power and look into the sport of weightlifting. 60kg men doing 240kg frontsquats and lifting three times their weight over head in the clean and jerk. 94kg men squatting 400, superheavyweight lifters doing paused squats of 420kg - this is real strength.

    what would one do for real strength? squat and pull, exercise the largest muscle groups as many times a week as one can recover safely from. those athletes i mentioned squatted up to 15 times a week.

    For real strength periodization regarding intensity and repetition range is also needed, hypertrophy, strength and preferably power included in cycles lasting close to a month at a time

    You're either ignorant or just out trolling for a good time. So you're a powerlifter? You've powerlifted before. You squat such weight? You sound like an expert of many things that does not have the actual experience nor the complete knowledge.

    I'm a powerlifter, and I'm fully aware of what a good morning is. I incorporate them into my training. My squat workout does not involve a quarter ****ing squat, so I have no idea where you're getting your information from.

    I respect the hell out of the sport of weightlifting. Those athletes are truly strong and impressive in what they do. However, not everyone specializes in that, and prefers the odd lifts, which is where powerlifting came from.

    You've got all these facts and figures, proclaiming to be an expert, but to me you seem young and are actually quite annoying as well as insulting. I was on here trying to help, but your trolling actually ended up pissing me off. I'm done responding to you and will just look at your posts and laugh from now on.

    Grow up or go out and get your ass kicked. It would do you some good.

    oh im ignorant, how so? Im not a powerlifter, i am a former weightlifter on a national level. I am pointing this guy out a correct way of squatting, what has it got to do with what i squat or was able to squat before?

    oh so you do a full depth squat in your training? never heard of a powerlifter who does that since your "legal" squat depth is barely at parallel and guess what parallel is not full depth so it is partial. many powerlifters even admit that the powerlifting squat isnt an exercise it is an event.

    i am aware that not everyone specializes in olympic weightlifting, if you are going to squat then there is only one type that benefits all - the full depth squat. and of course it is highbar

    now where did i claim to be an expert? what i said is common knowledge in the weightlifting world, do you disagree with something i said, then how bout you make an argument against it? do you find facts insulting and annoying?

    i can back everything up ive said, why dont you like take part in that instead of talking shit.

    im not gonna recommend you get yourself beaten up, how bout you do some reading on the subject
