End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 10.02.2017 @ 11:30 AM by Mikeneto Big guys never seem to wear weightlifting shoes to squat and never hit depth...But claim it is because their legs are too big to tell. Apart from Kirill.Reality is, if they wore weightlifting shoes they would hit depth but squat less. | ||

Reality is, if they wore weightlifting shoes they would hit depth but squat less. That changes the lift though, its bloody difficult to do a powerlifting style squat wearing weightlifting shoes due to the raised heel. That's why they are weightlifting shoes and not powerlifting shoes. | ||

Member 2492, 78 posts | Hitting depth in squat is one of the main reasons we rarely see squat in strongman competitions. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | If you watch the vids..The event that Shaw dominates the most they take out. It is like Terry Todd isn't even trying to hide it anymore even to the most oblivious sugdenite/Z-tonian. At least replace it with a stone lift...Atlas or natural. Or take straps from the frame. Everything is catered for Z so blatantly. Z's list of requirements to compete at the Arnold's No stones Must have straps on frame carry Dumbbell thin handle...Changed his mind after a few years Now no dumbbell | ||
