1st!
Also, thanks in advance to anyone who points out the back rounding….lol
i usually dont comment on form and shit, but on the deadlifts ur hips shot
up, lower back was rounded before the lift even began. solid lifts tho.
You give me so much motivation because I’m the same height and almost
weight, so maybe one day I can be like youuu! Just gotta lose more fat and
gain more muscle!
Is there any way to compete in a powerlifting meet without doing all three
lifts? I recently had a back surgery and bench and squats seem to be no
problem but I’m not willing to try deadlifts for a while.
Very solid total
how old are you and is this all you do? I am not trying to say this in a
bad way, sorry if it sounds rude.
Back and butt are in full contact with the bench during the bench press.
The USAPA is more strict than the IPA. The IPA should be illegalized.
Wish more women would get into powerlifting
They really needed 2 spotters for the bench?
Dude your deadlifts are unusually strong for the rest of your lifts o.O
Other than the awful music, that was a good video.
You’re hair through out this video is driving me crazy 😉
awesome, great lifts
I apologize if this sounds insensitive but I’m just curious on your squat.
Do you have to squat that low? I thought it was 1 inch past parallel to
count?
Sorry but there are girls at my school that do 315 for there opener in
squat
Your hair was fucked… Jesus
damn, you weigh as much as me and i’m a guy lol
i guess i need to eat more seriously
Subscribed!
Well done!
Damn legs, you’re pretty strong on deadlift, keep going (Y)
Good stuff. I have yet to compete since I want to achieve a higher
competitive total, but seeing lifters like you and Omar Isuf out there it
just makes me want to push harder. Have you done any meets since this one?
Really awesome, great lifts
Good job Chels!
Holy shit, this is inspiring stuff!! Glad i found your channel, thanks to
Omar!
that’s good work or weight for anyone to be lifting.
Yes, there is a huge difference between judges sometimes. That was one of
my points. Everyone seems to judge a little differently.
Ageed. It would be nice if there was a way to mark each individuals greater
trochanter and lateral epicondyl before a meet. So they would only have to
hit a position where the greater trochanter was below the epicondyl.
you should probably also address the fact that there are separate squats
for building leg strength and for maximizing one’s leverages in
competition. depth and stance width will vary depending on which style
used, and lifters should be aware of what they are doing and why they are
doing it.
this was a great video. I’m surprised there is such few comments on here.
I’ve always gone by the red dot, as that’s technically where the hip joint
is at. It’s definitely an individual thing though, and like you said,
neither side is technically right or wrong because either way you define it
is arbitrary. Also, the image you posted from the USAPL handbook is not
their standard for depth, it’s an example of “convincing” depth. They
actually standardize their depth closer to where you put the red dot. Here
is the actual USAPL standard for depth:

Honestly though, I think the root of the problem is in the way that squat
depth is defined and I feel that there needs to be a more accurate and less
ambiguous way to judge squats. I know it sounds like heresy, but I think
that squatting to a box MIGHT be better for competitions because it would
eliminate the element of human error when it comes to judging. Obviously
the box heights would have to be adjusted for each individual competitor,
they could be set 1-3″ below the knee cap or something. I dunno. I’m just
spit balling here, it could be a shit idea lol.
Hey Izzy, I was doing squats this afternoon and during a set of 3 at around
a 7.5 RPE i started to feel my hamstrings (specifically bicep femoris)
getting tight and pulling (not pulling as in a pulled muscle, just i could
feel my hamstring stretching) at the bottom of the squat, parralel and
under. I did some mobility work and it didn’t help, i have decently
flexible Hamstrings. My squat stance was outside shoulder width.. the
medium stance in your ‘Perfect squat technique for powerlifting’ video,
with a foot angle of about 30 degrees.Knees angle was always over my toes.
Back angle of about 40-50 degrees. I’m also 5 foot 10. I have tight hip
flexors and a tight IT band. Any idea what this could help this? it was
fine afterwards for front squats etc.
Another great video, I am gonna switch to low bar squats now and look to
buying a belt.
Given the exact wording of the IPF rule, I don’t know why people say that
the term “break parallel” is incorrect. When the top surface of the legs at
the hip are at the same height as the tops of the knees, the top surface of
the legs are parallel to the floor. If from there, the hip moves any lower
— thus putting the top surface of the legs at the hip joint lower than the
top of the knees — parallel is broken. So “breaking parallel” and “putting
the top surface of the leg at the hip joint below the top of the knee” are
the same fucking thing.
3:23 Made me giggle.
“Squat Deep Always!” – Charles Darwin
great video.
I have some reservations where you say don’t squat any deeper than you have
to. I often squat way past parallel but that’s because it helps with the
stretch reflex at the bottom.
Great analysis of the differences
But the question is how do you find that sweet spot?! Such an important
aspect of this sport yet no one seems to cover it on YouTube at least. I
find when I squat I have no sense of where my body is in relation to
everything else until I hit my own calves. Is recording video of yourself
the answer? Seems like it could be an entire wasted session of shallow
depth. Setting the safety bars at the perfect height? But what if you hit
them? And like you said it’s a game of centimetres, the safety bars move at
intervals of an inch. Please answer? Really like your channel
Or maybe squatting in front of a mirror? Squat with a partner judging? I
don’t know if I missed something but candito, omarisuf, etc…no one covers
this?
i think your right
Izzy, thanks for this. One question though – as a recreational
non-competing guy who’s doing lowbar squats, is it easier for me just to
make sure my quads are parallel to the floor, which would mean that I’m at
barely legal depth? I have problems finding my actual hip crease/hip joint
– and after watching your video I realized that I was doing ATG squats with
lowbar form, which is ridiculous and too low.
Is there any individual difference between judges ? (aka know your judges
?)
