Title: beautiful squats
Post by: entropy on August 12, 2013, 09:53:27 am: Suggested guidelines: Only pretty, technically and aesthetically pleasing squats. Please no grindy, ugly lifts, no PL squats, no DLs, bps, etc. Only squats (and maybe snatches and c&js)

Kick it off with these two :-

Post by: entropy on August 12, 2013, 11:40:58 am: Haha. I know you were joking but her snatch form is too western if you know what i mean. Her back is arched really hard (to a fault, hyperextension). Her clean is nicer she pulls with a flat back but her catch sucks like her snatch. Plus her elbows are too pointy.

because front angles look better

edit: this led me to watch the only publicly viewable video kf has up. It's highly recommended.

Unremarkable if they're light I think? Should be at least 200kg (>>2xbw) but there might be exceptions if the person weighs 40kg say. I mean many people can do pretty reps with their submax, but these beasts have superb form even with limit weights both in an absolute and relative sense.

So take this example I just came across:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFCVM55XqOc

Yeah it's 'only' 210kg but the guy weighs 52kg. It's a 4xbw Front Squat for two singles. Does this belong? Surely yes?!

I always wonder that as well. I reckon you'd see some ridiculous jumps if these guys trained for it.

Probably 50 inches or so, especially as a small and light guy.

Doesn't that look like 100% perfection? (well it wouldn't be perfection if it weren't under 100% but you get the idea) :trollface:
Title: Re: beautiful squats
Post by: Joe on September 13, 2013, 02:36:14 pm: A video of Kingfish squat from that angle with a similarly easy weight would probably look pretty similar, but he always films from rear angles.

Edit: Which is to say, yes, that squat's so perfect
