hey, Fred. these particular guys choose to keep the fat, but underneath that fat, each of them has extremely impressive musculature. if they chose to cut to a very low body fat percentage, you would be in awe of their development. Louie Simmons actually has very, very thick abs. he would have a tremendous 6-pack if he wanted to cut.
lol they do look like that on video. the superheaviweights look a bit different in person, though: you get a better sense of their proportions. if you're interested, check out the lighter weight classes - especially the 165 class - you will see some of the leanest, meanest lifters in the world. they train using the same principles as the big guys, but they have to watch their body fat % in order to qualify for their weight class.
Wouldn't it be a bit more difficult to squat from a rack instead of a mono lift?...Especially when squatting heavy weights from a wide stance? Basically, using the mono lift allows them to have their feet placed in the wide position prior to having the weight placed on their back. Already having it on the back prior to spreading out the stance would make it much more difficult, in my opinion.
the superheaviweights are unrestricted, so they can just eat as much as they want to get bigger and stronger. plus, fat actually makes squatting and benching easier. they build incredible muscle and strength; they just don't care about getting fat. power and winning competitions are their priority.
You don't even have to pause. Use sub max weight and accommodating resistance (ideally) and go up as fast as possible. Watch how they do DE bench. Here they are using the DE method for the particular exercise of box squats.

Louie's shoes are amazing
they're not working out, they're training

it also increases chance of injury, which if you know louie's history it's understandable why he's huge on injury prevention

they workout for performance not for bodybuilding. Big difference. Powerlifting is not bodybuilding
How to DE squat without a box??? Should we just pause?
box is essential to the method
Box squatting and DE training are two separate things. In DE benches they don't pause or let the bar 'sit' on the chest.

Lol are you trolling? I hope you're trolling. All BBers squat. Without exception.
Kevin Levrone..... he comes to mind. I don't think I've ever seen him squat. Not to say he doesn't, just his name comes to mind.
