Those two poles do not look like they are made to support that kind of weight. They were rocking when he re racked with one plate. I'm with you, I would not trust those little poles lol
Clarence is a better athlete overall but both of them are ridiculous. Their pissing contest represents the best in terms of competition and is good for sport
The gist of what he says throughout the video is "I just did XXXkg. Is everyone having a good time?! I'll be doing my personal best. Yay, I did it. I'm going to do 321." Then they explain what each colour weighs, talk about records and how hard 321kg is. Then he talks about how happy he is. It's hard to tell exactly since your screen covers half the subtitles.
The interpretation isn't that he is a mountain, but that he comes from the mountains. A very common Japanese surname. If he was Dutch his name would be "Van den Berg".
Pronunciation of Uesaka is basically 'Wesaka' because the vowels are pronounced separately, ooh-eh-saka, and the Japanese Uesaka website actually auto translates to Wesaka in English. But that sounds dumb so everyone who isn't Japanese just says 'Yoosaka'.
Why do they tell us in powerlifting not to arch the back and brace, yet you, in weightlifting, do it like that and you have the best squats ? Is high bar vs low bar explaining this cue or ?
Its probably preference. Most of the powerlifters are really slow in the decent, but than you cant bounce that hard. Use what you fits more i think is the best
I always like to watch the spotters. For safety I’d probably want 4 or 5 spotters with that weight just in case. This comes with experience as a meeting director and a powerlifter for almost 10 years in the 1980s. Ive seen a world class super heavy weight lifter 150kg+ take on 380kg + with only 3 inexperienced spotters and it ended badly. He tore a quad and collapsed - the side spotters were out of position and didn’t grab the plates instead trying to hold the bar which of course went straight through there hands. As a spotter I was also on the end of a 345kg squat by a 100kg lifter that went wrong. I was one of the side spotters and ended up holding about half the weight (170kg+) after the lifter lost balance and let the weight slip off his back rather than staying with it. With the lifter gone, the three spotters at the back could do nothing so myself and the other guy were left holding 345kg.
OMG - sounds horrendous. I have never really been sure what a spotter can actually do when there is such a heavy weight involved. If I'm in the gym, I never have spotters, but use the catchers on the side of the cage. I usually try to set them very close to where the bar will be when I go down.
@@JHMninja89 in weightlifting squatting without spotters at maximal attempts is normal. In powerlifting none of them can bail because they're all doing good morning squats lmao.
Clarence Kennedy’s 310kg pause atg squat with no belt or knee sleeves is more impressive than Clarence Kennedy’s 300kg pause atg squat with no belt or knee sleeves 😉
@@nickhughes7356 i guess it comes down to your idea of “fun”. Some people are so low minded they think fun is being recognisable as a good lifter at their local community gym. Or fun is simply lifting weights without regard for having a reputation. Longevity - heavy weight training is terrible for. I guess it comes down to why people train
@out with the breeze! Spot on. Training as you age is all about being smart and respecting your limits. Here's an 89 YO pulling 405 and squatting 275 at 147 lbs-- ua-cam.com/video/G4MxSfvEuDA/v-deo.html .
@@similargoals5084 There are 80+ year old guys who medalled at the olympics in the 60s still competing in Masters weightlifting. I think they're doing a little bit better than their friends in wheelchairs in retirement homes.
Don't be fast to blame the weight, the heavy training when it probably has more to do with roids and ego(and by ego I mean using knee wraps, belt reducing rom just to a lift a bigger weight).
Whoever is in charge of those lights should have the crap kicked out of them. That is so insanely dangerous. If he was to have a seizure while that weight is on his back it would fold him in half.
Do you guys ever do half or quarter squats with heavy weights as part of your strength training? I used to do athletics, and as part of our weights sessions we went through a phase of that. When I went back to trying a normal squat, the weight felt so much lighter (compared to the half squats weight) that I easily smashed my PB. I reckon getting a very heavy weight on your back through doing half squats helps your body to adjust/get accustomed to handling that weight on your shoulders.
there are plenty ways to overload, best for 1rm are walkouts with 110%+. but box squats, high pin/block squats reverse banded squats are great too if you want more of the specifity throughout the movement.
The amount of muscles asians can acumulate or maintain..at lower body weight .no other nations can compete with that .... Saying i weigh 220 dosent mean you are strong enough ..amount of muscles decide that .
Sleeves just add a bit of tightnes and warmth and comfort. Just feels good. Try some cheap Hookgrip sleeves if you haven't, seems like almost every weightlifter in the world has them at this point.
They did him dirty w the epilepsy lights after the rep omg
It's like they didn't want him to make it 😂
Nothing makes re-racking more comfortable than epilepsy inducing lights.
epilepsy is the new meta for 320kg squat
For real, they make my head hurt and I'm not even there!
Whoever decided to do that has clearly never lifted heavy before in their entire life.
I really wanna smack the dude who decided strobing lights was a good idea in a squat session like this 😆😑
They could at least weight for him to drop it in the rack first before giving him a seizure
@@AfferbeckBeats "weight for him", I like what you did there, intentional or not....
lol, I think it's just some dude on the light switch goin ham
the epilepsy lights actually adds 25 kg to the bar like how each car sticker increases 5 horsepower lol
the fact that he can unrack and re-rack that kind of weight on one that sketchy ass squat stand is the most impressive part to me LOL
It's made by uesaka so if anything it's pretty safe
@@ataraxia2894 Bruh what

There are even worse squat racks made by Eleiko.

I can confirm. i don't speak japanese , but that's exactly what i understood, too
Thank you!
I'm sure flashing lights in his face as he's trying to rack the fucking massive weight is real helpful!
What's funny is part of his last name means mountain. And he's built like one. He's like the japanese version of the mountain from game of thrones.
Just a short Japanese mountain Lol
The interpretation isn't that he is a mountain, but that he comes from the mountains. A very common Japanese surname. If he was Dutch his name would be "Van den Berg".
@@Mike-bt3ki dumb
You guys should watch Yamamoto's 220kg 20squats from hell. It's mental.
Need to hear Eoin’s best American accent on the next pod
I wonder how someone doing squats would react to you watching him and saying: „oh that’s so pleasing... so beautiful“
Very pleasing looking squat
i really like this guy Toshiki Yamamoto
he's got his own style
Strongman Martins Licis squats just like him
Not even close, but Martins squats are great too
The eccentric portion of a Martins Licis squat rep takes around 3 days.
Martins weights like 160kg toshiki is 96kg
I think cher and ker is his own brand
I’m not an oly guy and have no idea who this guy is but mAN what a thing of beauty. That squat was sexy as hell my god
Best commentating voices. Good to watch.

im just afraid he misses reracking the weights. he does it too quick and could miss the rack
You tell the man doing 321
Well done Toshiki "Yamayoto"
I noticed you said about controlling the descent, do you guys find that if you go too slow in the descent it ruins the squat?
Its probably preference. Most of the powerlifters are really slow in the decent, but than you cant bounce that hard. Use what you fits more i think is the best
fast decent open the way to injure more
I feel going really really slow on decent and then exploding up is way more comfortable
@@yettamon956 I'm not saying to drop into the squat but if I go top slow it's just not happening
@@unky5724 funny how people are different, the slower I go down the slower I come up 😂
Short femur and thick quads do the trick

How to back squat loads. Have two thumbs that make one leg - double it.

wait, wightlifting isn't actually all about back squats?!

Hi Jamie, thanks for commenting!
Hi, it would be great if you could stay further away from the mic so it doesn’t sound like ASMR !!!
Fruiti beer, its not bad
I wanna do weightlifting just not to see powerlifting squats again xD
Lads lads, please stop butchering Uesaka. It's pronounced "ooo-ey (like in hey) saka".

Clarence Kennedy's 300kg pause atg squat with no belt or knee sleeves is more impressive than that tbh, but still it is a massive lift

with such short legs it's really not hard to do that. But it's harder than those 'powerlifting' squats.
But, no...
Yeah it's not that hard to squat triple your bodyweight . . bro shut up

Some people really should not talk
How much can you squat?
Wish these guys would close their mouths. Too much useless chat.
Don’t watch the video then?

Why did they pick his 8 year old brother to spot a 320kg squat
They had no doubt he would make it!

He just posted a 330
Saw this and remember another video of a monster raw benching 317 kg for 4 reps.....Also pretty good!
No spotters and no safety :/
Why does he need knee sleeves? Did squatting made his knees go bad?
Sleeves just add a bit of tightnes and warmth and comfort. Just feels good. Try some cheap Hookgrip sleeves if you haven't, seems like almost every weightlifter in the world has them at this point.
