Biggest Front Squat?

[thatwaslight]

As it's not something that comes up in pling comps what is the unofficial/official (if there is one) record?

[Dr Squat]

Bro, this won't be a world record or anything but...

Warrick Brant doing 350 kg on Gold Coast last year. Some olympic lifter would have murdered this but he is the real deal.

Farrk thats crazy! all in the power bands a doc? is that why your squat is so big?

[Dr Squat]

I am a pretender next to this guy. I would love to front squat 800 pounds.

Colin Cox 220kg's raw - year - late 80's early 90's. God, I'm showing my age! : :shifty:

warrick brant's front squat is the current world record

[thatwaslight]

What does he back squat????

Unofficial I presume. I would have thought that some of those Eastern European weightlifters would be up around 400 kg? Obviously not.

[TOMDABOM]

i havent seen his 1rm but he did 10 reps with in the 2010 WSM which i think was pretty close to 800 pounds

Rezazedeh can do 280-300 for a double quite easily, being a superheavy i guess that give you an idea. IF some of those super heavy Oly lifters had their mind set on setting a WR im pretty sure warrick would fall by the wayside fairly quickly

Sweet. Their grip is quite different also I guess.

Do you guys like to go deeper than he did? I usually go to his depth but I know that a fuller ROM is possible

[Darkmanx]

f*ck me. the best i ever done was 140kg for i think 6-8 reps.(Front Squat). But then i am very tall and its quite difficult to get to a higher weight when u 6'7.

What an animal!

He didn't go too low but that guy didn't look too short either, what a huge effort!

Loved the sponsorship call out too

" ah thanks power balance band for ahh getting me through my workout.. (with money)"

Im supposed to be doing Front Squats at the moment, but the weight of the barbell across my arms really hurts. Arms too small probably.

The bar should be sitting right where the deltoid kinks when you raise your arms, any pain you get when you are doing the squats correctly will subside after a few sessions

he is 5'9", also his parents own KOOGA which is quite a big sporting apparel brand in Aus.

Brants 350 is the biggest of which I have heard, though his depth could have been better. I've heard of Oly lifters go to 335, and 320ish. You'd probably find most would stop around there as its at a point of diminishing returns for improving their actual oly lifts.

[steak]

is he puffing cos he ran to the truck in the end? Maybe the power balance band is not quite tuned in

Big front squat none the less though :clap:

[olympic_novice]

sorry about the music, my coach made this video

[Old Bull]
