No hate, but that wasn't a pause rep, that was just a regular rep. Your hips were still sinking before the ascent--there was no dead stop. And definitely no dead stop with a 1-2 second pause which is what a pause squat is.
@@ploonge Good luck, Ego really kills people with pause reps because you're going to have to take off weight to really do it the right way and benefit. I would guess you around 375 with a decent pause.
For weightlifters anything that you didn't use the bounce in is paused. And judging by Jack's back angle, flat chest, and strictness in form, he's a proper weightlifter.
@@abadran8174 A pause rep is a rep completed at the minimum from a dead stop at the bottom--a pause before the concentric. Down and up with a slightly slower tempo isn't a pause squat. What type of competitions the lifter trains for is irrelevant when determining the legitemacy of the lift. A down and up bench press isn't a pause bench because a lifter is not a powerlifter. And likewise, a down and up squat without the bounce out of the hole doesn't make it a pause squat just because they are an olympic lifter.
@Banx Why do I keep getting these comments? No, that was not a pause squat. Hips still sinking and no dead stop isn't a pause squat. That was just a regular rep. Clarence Kennedy has videos of him pause squatting--that's a pause squat.
Crazy how you still kept the core tight and your upper body relative straight. Most people would've bent over to compensate with the lower back. Solid technique also, it was fun to watch 💪
high bar squats just looks way better than low bar.. plus the weight feels much better on the back lol.. no wrist wraps needed and so easy to get into position..
really nice, I'm a little worried about the squat rack orientation. I believe its safer to walk into the squat rack when you're done, rather than walk backwards.
Do you keep a slight arch in your low back when going down? I keep hearing people say "tuck" the pelvis a little, but I get back pain when doing that. When I keep a VERY slight arch it feels fine, is that normal?
If you are posterior pelvic tilt then you probably shouldnt tuck, because you are already overtucked. The thing is, most people are wide infrasternal angles which tend to develop into anterior pelvic tilts (archy backs) so they need to tuck. The tuck means slight posterior pelvic tilt (only pelvis- hip bones are moving), most people are overdoing it and slouching/ crunching. That could be tiggering low back pain. We have to stack, so subtle tuck, not too agressive. Hard to say whats going on with you without assesment.
@@francik4225 I get what you're saying...hmm yeah I'm def over tucking then cause I def wouldn't say I have a huge archy type back but not posterior either, pretty neutral. When I started lifting we all squatted like the westside tards so I'm slowly relearning squat patterns with knees forward etc. Thanks bro!
Your spine should not be moving under load. A slight tilt at the bottom is normal for most people, but if it's excessive, you will eventually injure yourself. Learn to breathe into the belly and squeezing that tight with your abs. That combined with a glute squeeze before lowering into the squat will do wonders for your technique.
He squats as upright as possible, why would he need safety straps when he can just dump it. Weightlifters rarely use power racks because they just dump that shit lmao.
No one should be pausing in a full squat (below parallel). Any pause squat should only involve a loaded barbell with less than 50% of your body weight. Of course, less weight may yield less results. The risk on your lumbar spine is very high during that pause. It is much safer to have that flowing bounce when the stress of the weight reaches your hips in order to rebound back up. Good luck if you choose to keep pausing with progressively heavy weights and be ready to have a good surgeon available when you herniate the lumbar spine. You may not recover from this type of injury.
That was hardly a “pause” at the bottom. Your comment means literally NOTHING to someone squatting 420 lbs with good/proper form - StevenSweet. Unless you’re Tom Platz (who would never make a remark like that) I don’t think you’re qualified to comment on his squatting technique.
what is your basis for making that claim? biomechanically speaking the spine can support much greater weights than anything your musles could support, as long as the weight is proprerly distributed.
Beautiful squat technique bro, you're an inspiration
Thanks.

True. A millisecond feels like an eternity in the hole. Going for longer pause next time

Great lift buddy, not a “strict” pause but still a clean squat, can’t wait to see you hit 455+ soon
the grind was real on that last rep.
Thanks.
Strong lad good form, deep squats with pause!
That is more than a regular squat. That is an art 🔱
Crazy how you still kept the core tight and your upper body relative straight. Most people would've bent over to compensate with the lower back. Solid technique also, it was fun to watch 💪
Great job! Walking backwards to re-rack looks a little scary 😨.
It’s insane
good job dude!
Thanks.
Tom Platz would be proud.. All quads great job
Good squatting man.
been keeping tabs on your vids since 2020 I think… appreciate the comment
@@ploonge oh wow. Cool to hear that man. Cheers dude!
Big weight. Deep squat. Win.
beautifully done bro 😌🙏💛
FORM SO CLEAN I HAD TO TAKE A SHOWER TO FEEL BETTER 😭😭😭🫡
LOL - !@#$ me alright. Nicely done Jack
You are a beast
Beatiful squat 290 kg 💪👍
Wow 190 Kg, qué impresionante, a pesar de que tu físico no es el clásico levantador de pesas. Eres mi héroe.
Bro just stood up
high bar squats just looks way better than low bar.. plus the weight feels much better on the back lol.. no wrist wraps needed and so easy to get into position..
Great squat dude, but PLEASE TURN AROUND! 😆
Please start using the power rack. This is just an accident waiting to happen.
Great technique😮 Have you tried squatting with the rack in front of you? That's a little bit safer
Great rep
so clean
Clarence Kennedy approved
absolute chad
The technique and form is adequate but where's the pause?
0:39 I had my window open and was wearing headphones i thought it came from outside
are you 90 degree squat robot??
Beast
How long did it take you to settle on that stance?
Nice
I’m competing in three week at powerlifting meet at 75 kg 13 years old and I want to hit 335 or 340
really nice, I'm a little worried about the squat rack orientation.
I believe its safer to walk into the squat rack when you're done, rather than walk backwards.
That was exactly my thought when seeing this. Strange.
some people are more comfortable either walking backwards or forwards, the safetyness doesn't really change in my opinion
I prefer to walk sideways
It’s just personal preference to walk forwards since the walkout is so much more efficient and you get a nice feeling mentally
definitely safer if you face the rack and walk forwards but either way is safe.
That's a dangerous setup. How are you going to throw the weight behind in case you fail?
What shoes are those?
Good 👍
that's crazy

Good posture
Goooda joba
0:38 lol
Why are you squatting with a tiny narrow stance? Are you a weightlifter?
Not a great idea to walk backwards to re-rack. Better to do the backwards walk before the rep when you haven't used up all the juice.
Don’t walk backwards. If you get tired you’re just asking for an injury. Also use the safety straps - they’re right there.
He squats as upright as possible, why would he need safety straps when he can just dump it.
Weightlifters rarely use power racks because they just dump that shit lmao.
Shush

Walking back a high bar squat is a world of difference than walking back a lowbar squat. Also he can just drop the bar of his back in any position
That's alot of weight by no means am I gonna smack talk but a little critism. Stance is narrow and your knees came in just a bit. Otherwise great job
Valgus ain't as deadly as people say it is
🤔
Are you satisfied with you leg hypertrophy?
@darren6458why be an asshole from a simple question ?
'kilo gramme'? lmao american af
All that weight..and his legs look like any typical 20ish year old that doesn't even lift 🤣
Yet he can probably squat your max deadlift for reps with proper form 🤔
Fake
What makes you say that?
No pause. Good depth. Couple of things that signal an injury is highly likely in the future.
Yeah, this comment tells me you’ve never lifted beyond two plates in your life
@@browns3033 3 plates and a half, 2.5x my bodyweight. Also a doctor ;-)

Shut the hell up if you dont know shit okay? Try actually lifting.
Nonsense. I pause for about 5secs all the way down with 315 and it feels good it makes regular reps feel easier
I can just tell you weigh 150lb.
what is your basis for making that claim? biomechanically speaking the spine can support much greater weights than anything your musles could support, as long as the weight is proprerly distributed.
I'm thinking fake weight .
