That isn't that impressive to me. I've regularly seen guys at the gym moving 500+ at around 200lbs body weight.

I'm sure they run 4.45 40s too. :rofl: Moffitt is an oly-style guy isn't he? He doesn't give a frick about ATG squats.. and neither do pros. Pros all over the world train in different ways.. some train like Moffitt, some don't. There's no magic program.. if there was, everyone would be on it. Philosophy and motivation are equally important.

There is a huge fricking difference between a power lifter (posting large squat numbers) and a collegiate football player. You have freaks who combine the two like Mike Ford, Trent Richardson, etc.. but there is a world of difference in between the two. I've known a ton of fat fricks who could move an arse load of weight.. and they really weren't that athletic in any way. Btw.. this is from the video -- thats a pretty low 'chair'

Okay our line is moving 506 and one is moving 523 and they are "fat fricks."

And we had a pretty damn good OL last year, problem? You consistently miss the point -- a power lifter is going to squat extremely high numbers.. by design.. a football player usually won't squat like that. But I bet he does other stuff much better. It's life.. you can't be great at it all. I'd rather my OL be good at blocking than at squatting obscene numbers.

That's 90 degrees with assistance from the spot.

It's obviously not a max.. and fundamentally no different than using a suit.. so again.. problem?

Not applicable to college football because of needess severe knee strains, ACL's & other various torn cartilage damage.

ATG is just as safe

I vote for this guy to be banned. Where ya at Chicken.

when our arse is an 1" off the ground, where is the stress point?

It's safe with lower weights in CFB.

nah ATG is just as safe. it's preference, really.

There is a direct correlation between the two though.

orly?? Please tell us.

Pretty common sense higher squat=more power.

Do squats make a player quicker & more agile?

not true. If you are familiar with moffitt, you would know this. Moving faster with submaximal weight has a higher power output than grinding through a 100% lift. Train slow, play slow.

More explosive

When was the last time you heard an OL called explosive? :rofl:

fricking hilarious. Everyone agrees that it is good for our athletes to be strong.. but you're coming off as extremely biased in favor of power lifting.. the truth is the most optimal training regime is probably somewhere in the middle. Especially for athletes.

Bottom line is that they are receiving quality instruction from one of the leaders in the collegiate S&C world. It doesn't get much better than that.. and they are athletes.. focused on being athletic (and not on lifting as much weight as possible).
