The last meet he finished he pulled 835 and had like 880 to his knees. BTW the 835 was sumo the 3rd attempt he pulled conventional. He has became a better all around lifter at 275. His total is up to 2600 and he will go over that in his next meet.
I trained at Westside a bit back in the 90's-my best friend Donnie D. and i used to go down to Columbus and see Mr.Simmons and this guy(Chuck) has the strongest back i've ever seen!!!
I have never seen 1080 move faster than that squat just there. That is unreal strength. I don't care how much gear he has on - unless that bar is on a fucking rocket it isn't going to move faster than that!
I used to squat with a high bar position and an extremely narrow stance and all it gave me was an aching back and knees(I am 6'4). I now squat with a moderate stance and low bar position (an ultra wide stance is dangerous without at least groove breifs and besides it takes years to develope the required hip flexibility and strength) and always use a parallel box in training and now only my thighs are sore after a squat workout.
Hi! The comment I posted was actually meant to be a response to randleman2's comments. If u train with a national champion then u are all set listen to him not me lol! ROM simply means range of motion. Training with a narrow, moderate and wide stance is a great method. I have tremendous respect for all lifters I just take issue with the notion that an oly squat is somehow the only "true" squat and that widening your stance is a cop-out.
Well while the rest of this board argues over nonsense NO ONE on here will ever prove, I'm man enough to admit that this dued just OWNED every training session I've ever had in 4 minutes of video footage because I haven't touched any of the top poundages shown here...
"....westside has caught someone missing 1300" ^^^WTF YOU SERIOUS??? Even Bolton doesn't squat 1250+. How the hell do you catch a failed 1300er? MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD respects go out to Westside and Louie if that's true. Oh and thanks MAJORLY for posting up the vid; Vog is the man.
Yeah I guess I really see here why so many Internet scientists knock the Westside method. I mean, look at Chuck, using that gear and doing those quarter squats has led to him having no muscle or power. Just look how skinny he is and shows no muscle physique whatsoever. I bet the guys who post all that stuff have it figured out a lot better and are real beasts with weights!
Tom Platz was built for oly style squats but many arent and would save their knees and back using Louie's methods. As a side note my functional stength is now through the roof (I've fliped a 900lb tire and lifted the back end of a car)! As far as the ROM thing goes if u are a pler and lengthen your ROM u are only going 2 wind up getting handed defeats. This is just stuff that has worked for me so far, don't know what works for u. Peace and I envy u going out to train with Louie!!
these guys only do box squates in practice, they dont do normal ones outside of competition. Louie Simmons who trains these guys feels that a guy that can squat 900 would be useless to do noraml squat with a bunch of weight, so they do only box squat for explosion and always have bands or chains
@Becoming Godsize what's your next selfie gonna consist of tough guy? What are you 55 years old Taking selfies lol! And btw you can't squat 1000lbs either
@Becoming Godsize now that is cool! Not as cool as your selfie but def cool. Lmao you sent me the link lol lol. You have the maturity level of a teenagee
Half them squats were 100% 3 reds. Hip joint absolutely did not break the knee cap. But they gave him 3 whites cause it was at westside. Imagine that. Just like Dave Hoffs bullshit world record squat and total. Or when he had something stuffed in his shirt to shorten his bench stroke.
Fitter542 the BOTTOM of the hip has to break parallel not the top like in raw. Multi ply rules are different because it’s nearly impossible to go below parallel with that much gear. Plus all of these videos where taken from the front
We're lucky to still have this video in any condition.
even chuck norris tries to be like chuck
The last meet he finished he pulled 835 and had like 880 to his knees. BTW the 835 was sumo the 3rd attempt he pulled conventional. He has became a better all around lifter at 275. His total is up to 2600 and he will go over that in his next meet.
That dude is absolute animal. Its 2am and Im going to train...thanks Chuck!
I trained at Westside a bit back in the 90's-my best friend Donnie D. and i used to go down to Columbus and see Mr.Simmons and this guy(Chuck) has the strongest back i've ever seen!!!
One of the greats of all time, great video. It inspires me.
Badass video, watching Chuck lift has always motivated me, keeps me competing in powerlifting at age 61.
@desembodic Chuck doesn't miss squats, squats miss Chuck.
i'm stealing this quote
1st Devildriver - cry for me sky
2nd Hatebreed - Doomsayer

A point well made.

Man, these comments have some age of them lol where is everyone now 13 years later?

Metal and lifting is so good.
Iv watched this video for 5 years now ...my last comment was 8 months ago and im still setting BACK BACK BACK BACK !!!!!!!!!!
nice vid broski
Well while the rest of this board argues over nonsense NO ONE on here will ever prove, I'm man enough to admit that this dued just OWNED every training session I've ever had in 4 minutes of video footage because I haven't touched any of the top poundages shown here...
RESPECT ;)
actually yeah they can, westside has caught someone missing 1300.
this is an awesome vid, one of my favs to get me amped for the gym, can u please fix the audio?
vlad alzahov was squatting 1300 and tore his acl, they caught the weight
0:08 where can you buy those bands that he's using? I've been looking all over!
elite fts, rogue, amazon
Many companys manufacture resistance bands. Westside, EliteFTS, Rogue etc.
Monster
dynamic effort..lower the weight to about 40-45% of your 1 rep max and perform 2 reps with the best form and as fast as physically possible
Watch this video every time i squat or deadlift to remember to set back bbahahhaha
brandixie you couldnt of said it better brotha
awesome vid! what's the song that starts as he hits the 800 floor Deadlift? around 1:38
Hatebreed - Doomsayer
this was a perfect video ! but youtube fucked it up by removing the great song doomsayer hatebreed
devildriver then hatebreed
yes it will not so much on the running maby on like 100m but defo on the jumping
This video ads 50lbs on my total
What song was this! That shit was fucking epic!!!
"....westside has caught someone missing 1300"
^^^WTF YOU SERIOUS??? Even Bolton doesn't squat 1250+. How the hell do you catch a failed 1300er?
MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD respects go out to Westside and Louie if that's true. Oh and thanks MAJORLY for posting up the vid; Vog is the man.
Yea It was Vlad Alazhov. He has 2 total knee replacements and now is one of few to squat 1100 raw with Knee wraps.
Badest mf ever✊✊✊
Yeah I guess I really see here why so many Internet scientists knock the Westside method. I mean, look at Chuck, using that gear and doing those quarter squats has led to him having no muscle or power. Just look how skinny he is and shows no muscle physique whatsoever.

Almost 10 years later and this is still one of the dumbest fucking comments I’ve ever seen on TH-cam
Did he ever squat to depth?
Not really
What song is playing during the first minute?
cry for me sky by devildriver
Thanks! Much appreciated!
What Is The Name Of Both Songs?
Who cares!!!
Tom Platz was built for oly style squats but many arent and would save their knees and back using Louie's methods. As a side note my functional stength is now through the roof (I've fliped a 900lb tire and lifted the back end of a car)! As far as the ROM thing goes if u are a pler and lengthen your ROM u are only going 2 wind up getting handed defeats. This is just stuff that has worked for me so far, don't know what works for u. Peace and I envy u going out to train with Louie!!
Sumo Style squatting is a joke!
Just like your total.
I would love to see any of these keyboard warriors saying "sumo is cheating" tell that to Chuck lol
They didn't have super bendy bars allowing for 2 inch rom with sumo back then.
Then don't watch the video. If you don't agree with the geared guys view then go talk to someone who cares
apples and oranges homey. a proper olympic squat wouldn't do him any good in this sport.
these guys only do box squates in practice, they dont do normal ones outside of competition. Louie Simmons who trains these guys feels that a guy that can squat 900 would be useless to do noraml squat with a bunch of weight, so they do only box squat for explosion and always have bands or chains
I guess I don't understand but with their legs spread that far apart they only have to go down 4 inch or so....just doesn't seem very legit to me
Its a joke. Westside's wide sumo squats.
@Becoming Godsize yeeehaawww cowboy
@Becoming Godsize you look cool and tough in your hoodie selfie
@Becoming Godsize what's your next selfie gonna consist of tough guy? What are you 55 years old Taking selfies lol! And btw you can't squat 1000lbs either
@Becoming Godsize now that is cool! Not as cool as your selfie but def cool. Lmao you sent me the link lol lol. You have the maturity level of a teenagee

Yea, your right. Compare this to Fred Hatfields Squat !! Not even close.
HateBreed!!!!!!
Never hit depth once
Pulls sumo.. squats in suits. Do it raw if you are that strong.
Leave bro if you don't understand
these are not full squats anyway... i hate ws squats.
I dont respect equipment that assists the lift
RIP
