deepest 1000 pound squat ive seen yet. i love how the crowd goes bananas. an inspiration!

I can't even imagine what it's like to unrack that kind of weight. Astounding! Definitely parallel. Superb squat.

honestly, this gives me chills. best power squat i've ever seen.

God... I can't believe he walks that AND squats it -so smooth-. Insane. The captain is the man.

Awesome effort, nice and deep on that squat. Very impressed no matter how he got to that point.

I love this video. So awesome, wow.

He went so much deeper than the powerlifters today. A legend

Now that's some serious strength. Wow!

I agree totally Coan, Capt. Kirk, and the pioneers were the best. PERIOD......

Great lift!

Now THATS a squat. beautiful form

God damn best squat video in the history of lifting.

I used to lift weights at the same gym as the great power-lifter Mike Bridges and in the early fall of 1980 I personally witnessed Mike do a legal power squat with 1,025 lbs in a workout. Bridges weighed 181 lbs. at that time and 1,025 was 5.66 times his body weight. It was the single greatest feat of strength I ever saw.

definitely parallell! very nice lift!!!

Nice! The only REAL 1000lbs squat I've seen. Wicked!

Capt Kirk is the shit. If you havn't seen it already, check out the DVD Power Unlimited. He does a great interview and lots of footage about lifters back in the day and today.

@JPMartin5 Yes, they help to stabilize the joint and protect it but they also give you a little more power at the bottom of the lift.

You can tell it's pretty heavy by the bend in the bar... and the army of people spotting him. Very impressive!

After watching so many of these other guys doing their half squats and some even worse than that, it is very refreshing to see a guy go that deep with the Big Grand on his shoulders. Very impressive. My contest best was 540 at 198, drug free, but drug or no drug, 1000 pounds is a lot of weight. Wow.

best most legit squat on this site. he broke parallel by 2 inch's squats always look high from the front. anyone with lifting and judgingexperience knows this. great job kirk!!!

wow... went to parallel too, I was expecting some kind of half squat with that amount of weight. wot a beast!

Total bodybuilder squat! I can't believe his range of motion.....just sick!

Below paralell with a walkout.What a hulk.You don't see this anymore in whats called modern powerlifting.

looking back, holy shit that's a close stance...crazy rom and depth.

This may be the only 1000lb+ squat on KZread where the squatter went all the way down and didn't need the assistance of 3 spotters

Wow! A real squat!!!

i can't get over the depth...good lord.

Yah baby! That's how it's done!

u cant say it any better than: PERFECT SQUAT

I don't care what anyone says, THAT was one helluva squat in any competition in any country !!!

now that's a squat. I was expecting to see the typical 4 inches above parallel squat that seems to pass these days. Strong.

very fucking awesome. 1003 lbs, walked back with it!!! and squatted that shit, wow this guy is hardcore

This is insane!

deep, as it should be! Wow!

HOLY shit!!! this is some real bad ass squatting!!

Impressive!

that was a real squat. amazing

Perfect.

@MrSticksb took the words out of my mouth. RIP powerlifting.

First superheavy squat vid I've seen that has proper depth. He even walked that shit out of the rack.

Thats how a heavy lift is meant to be done, proper form, and full completion.

The weight is in kilograms. It has been converted to pounds. It is 455 kilos-or 1003.093 lbs.

What a fucking moster 1000 kg that unreal numbers

BEAST !!

very nice

Well said, I agree

Where can I get this DVD?

now THAT was a deep squat!!

Karwoski is the man .And nobody can disagree with me

he got nice and parallel i have been watching some other 1000 and over squat vids and they have not gotten as near as low as this guy nicee

He walks it out and all!!!!!!!!!!!! Woah.

great LIFT, looks like he broke parallel. good job

Awesome squat Lightweight!

great squat a little bit of a good morning but great

What a monster.

amazing! perfect form. and how can a bench shirt help with sqaut? either way 1000 pounds is a tremendous feat and why dont you try to sqaut thatsoyouwannascript

badass

@snon61 So your unhappy with less injuries?

looks like he went a little past parallel, fucking awesome

wow what a beast

For all the people who think they know what they're talking about when it comes to juice and point fingers at kirk need to stop here. Kirk never failed a drug test he was a 5x IPF world champion. IPF isnt your little cheat league federation like most of these multi ply feds are today. Kirk was an animal and a true powerlifting legend. His name easily comes up in the conversation as one of the greatest squatters of all time.

@JPMartin5 It helps stabilize the join and gives em a little extra power. Its not really needed but at this weight,better safe than sorry.

Impressive squat full range 1000 pounds, INSANELY strong...

I think they used to call this guy "Captain Kirk". I remember seeing him in an old magazine.

that was fukin amazing solid 1003 pounds

Now that is a squat.

This was a geared lift, but IPF gear and a long time ago, so not exactly the kind of technology guys are using today. Karwoski did hit 826 in a belt at 242. Mike Miller missed 800 at the NERBs at a significantly higher bw. Not to diminish the latter's accomplishments, but I find the Cap'n's accomplishments more impressive.

Wow best squat I had in highschool was 425lbs. This guy is good

This person is the greatest squatter of all time. (ding) Who is Kirk Karwoski?

like someone already said, it all depends on the federation, not all powerlifters are tested and some bodybuilders are.

1) 1000 lb bench press is with the aid of a shirt. 2)Squatting is a much longer range of motion. 3) You have to add about 80% of your bodyweight to the bar to get the total load. In short, squats are much more work.

That should be the fucking standard in todays powerlifting. Look at his ROM! damn!

Actually, those are the green/chrome Ivanko calibrated plates. They are 50 Kg (110.23 pounds) each.

"you can approach captain kirk during a meet" is a more ridiculous statement than that

Yeah!!

Pudzanowski squat was deeper than that and with a longer unaided walk out...still impressive tyhough

ur telling me he DID NOT go parallel?!? thats as parallel as ur ever goin to get my friend. like i said before, PERFECT SQUAT!

now THATS deep!

This impresses me more than Mike Miller's 1220 squat. Just my personal opinion.

Not to take away from the very strong lifters of today. Kirk Kawowski won the Indy 500 with a go cart. His gear is inferior compared to the new squat suits and wraps. The judging was way stricter and the mono lift makes it a lot easier to set up. All these advances in technology are great (except the lax judging). That was a great squat by a great lifter. anyone finding fault with that lift has not got a clue!

This guy has the world record in the squat. 455kg

LEGIT!! nice and low. can anybody tell me why powerlifters wear the knee wraps?? my guess is because the weight would just dislocate their joint if they didn't hold em in place or something like that.. can you tell me?

now thats a legit squat

How did such an insightful comment get -6?

in my book the strongest squater to ever to go under the bar!!

best fucking squat i seen in awhile O_O

it was a full squat?

this is the first time ive seen a guy do a perfect squat with this kind of weight. this is how ur supposed to lift

I lOve how the people in the backround are more pumped that some other guy just did it then the guy who actually did

old stool fckin walk outs luv that sheeet

Holy shit!

wow, that was a deep squat. 5/5

Ass to the grass. Fucking awesome

wow, he actually does a squat unlike the others

Animal! by the way im not trying to take anything away from that because its amazing but does anybody know if he is natural or not?

that comment was directed to the guy talking about seeing a 100lb beat down two powerlifters

@thehp1502 In real international competitions, they use kilograms, not pounds. This is 455 kg.

Wow.

now that is how you squat! Going nice and deep, legs the size of my chest.

It's funny everyone always blames the camera angle on when there squats look HIGH (ALMOST ALL SPF SQUATS) They say well you can't judge how far he went down from the front .... well this video is from the front and you can easily tell he was at depth! I try and make all my squats look like Kirk's depth
