Nice one IBBAdmin, I train in a fuckin backwards gym, they all squat narrow with thier heels on wood, they can't squat shit[under250lbs] and all were knee wraps. They have no idea of strength training or even proper bodybuilding, always looking at me with judgement in thier eyes, they used to say shit, but after a while they got onto the fact I would just ignore em.

I went from a 250lbs squat for 7 reps, to a 500lbs squat for 10 in the space of 2 years.
Using Sumo box squats, yer you bet the critisms came out thick and fast, I would use heavy encentrics from fixed pins on the power rack, lowering the pins every so couple of weeks, only to hear "that weight is to much" "the equipment want be able to handle it" "you won't get strong from it" and my fucking FAVOURITE "ahh he's just ego lifting", all the while I would stare deep into thier eyes when thier chatting shit, and just see fear, fear of me being so much more stronger then them.
I was right and they were wrong, do any of the fucking assholes train anything like me now, NO, why? Cause THIER pathetic ego can't handle I was right.

I found it natural to use half and quarter reps to up weight and FORCE the body to adapt to heavy weight, then I red on the internet the first guy to squat 800lbs in the 1960's used the same technique I used, then I read stuff on Louie Cyrr and Paul Anderson and knew I was onto something.
Strict form for any athlete [bodybuilder, Powerlifter, weightlifter, strongman]is your worst enemy and your best friend, once your mind is matured enough to realise to encompase other training styles [loose form, partial reps etc] then the poundage is upto your imagination and self disipline.

Just to add I trained I 140lbs 21year old to parallel squat 300lbs for 8 reps in 6 months using the above method, who moved upto 165lbs in bodyweight, staying at 7%BF.
