Ben's squating with 495

[RB34]

He is not Bouncing! Look very carefully when they zoom in on the chair. His hammies hit 1st, then the glutes JUST touch, once they touch, he come up. Its not a Full Sit down by any means. You need to really squash that padding to Bounce. therefore he is not really doing Box squats. The bench seems to be a depth guage. Go down, Tap and Up. Far from a bounce. Except the 3rd rep where it seems he hit the bench, The bar twisted and had a hard time coming up, (not good) - That rep was bad, but with a dude supporting his posture like that, he’ll be fine.

Im not a fan of having a dude that close supporting him - would rather see it 10% lighter and nobody there (if you need somebody there, its too heavy!) He also has Bars that can be used as a depth guide instead of a bench. No need for them both. No need for benches at all really, If your sitting on a bench, with a barbell on your shoulders, cant be safe. If the bar is on other bars, takes the pressure off your back, esp if your in trouble, even for a second = much safer. (not talking powerlifting meet training here)

He is very close to parallel, only 1-2inches. I would rather see 1-2inches Below than above, esp for sprinters.

Maybe its just a Ego Set, and the rest of the sets were diff?? Just for the camera’s so to speak?

What’s the problem with box squatting with a 2-3sec pause on the box, I will be adding them for the reminding of SPP in my program.
