Like I always say... squat heavy, squat alone, squat to failure, and on the last rep, you will find out whether you are a man.  Besides, this thing has a 350# weight capacity, what are you gong to do? warm up?

I didnt see the 350 lbs capacity. Why do they say the cable is rated for 2000lbs but the total capacity is 350 ?

I just know I am going to get stuck at the bottom of a deep squat some day. I have spotters attached to my rack but I dont like to use them when I go deep,  its hard to get the them adjusted.

I guess this one would be better 750 lbs, now if I only had 3000 extra bucks. I guess Ill just have to give in and get one of those Safty Squat bars. I just cant amagine having the bar stuck in one place on my back!!

Back in the day....I remember lifting heavy at the YMCA on breaks during college.  I would give some high school kid a dime and the phone number to the nearest rescue squad in case I got into trouble.  Spotter?  Who needs them!

 

And yes, phone calls once cost only a dime.

I think I remember when phone calls were only a dime.  I was 10.

Now, good luck finding a pay phone at all.

Don't you all keep your cell phone on your hip when you squat? Or is it just me?

Most of the time I have a cell phone and a vhf radio close at hand! Plus there is an Ambulance just outside in the parking lot!!!

I am lucky enough to get to work out while im at work. Some times I can even get all the way through before I have to run. And its not too bad to be getting paid to work out!!!!!

My problem is nobody in my family knows the difference between my normal last rep screams and a Oh sh*t Ive fallen and I cant get up yell!

Friends don’t lets friends squat naked!!
