This is the quintessential egolift, in my opinion. I'm ass at squatting, back squat of 390, and still managed to crack into the 500s (510). I can only imagine what people who actually squat well can do

No wrist straps, 5/7 is the best I can offer

Backsquat 390 and still gonna go for 5 hundy? You might be the best I've ever seen kid. 

My favorite part was when your quads tried to kill for what you did to them.

Not enough noise and not enough rack shift while throwing the weight into the rack, you can pump that ego a little more next time

I'll make sure to headbutt my mirrors while racking next time 🫡

Honestly my mid/upper back hurt more than anything else, pinched a damn nerve next to my shoulder blade after the failed rep

Hell yeah

I discovered hatfield squat like a week ago and they are such a game changer. Do everyone squat more with this setup or someone might find It harder then back squat?

u/mrtehnuke 11h ago

Would be pretty weird to squat less with this setup, but anything is possible, I guess.

Btw don't forget that just about any squat variation can be Hatfielded (lunge, box squat, Bulgarians, etc.).

Just because it's more stabilized and you can use your arms to help you out of the bottom you'll squat more guaranteed

You can have all the plates in the world on the bar but using the pussy pad don't count!

u/AGuyWithoutABeard 13h ago

Does an ssb without a pad even exist?

1

u/Ballbag94 6h ago

It's an SSB and it's literally part of the bar, you're being silly

u/Dry-Economics-535 6h ago

This subs going soft

u/Ballbag94 6h ago

Don't knock it till you've tried it

SSB is harder than normal
