mike ruggerio, chuck vogelpohl,tim harold the master louie simmons giving the commands himself....and the other i dont know their names but all great athletes. great video

Westside barbell at it's best, Mike Ruggiera and Chuck Vogelpohl were fuckin animals, soo explosive off the box it's unreal.

Absolutely great video, westside rules!

Great looking guys. A pleasure watching them train.

They're clearly parallel. I found westside squatting is much easier on my joints and targets my hams, quads and glutes much better. Westside understands the practical application of squatting when it comes to biomechanics. Of course, my goal is strength, explosive strength. Westside seems to be unsurpassed when it comes to explosive strength. The proof is their lifters.

This video is the nuts. I've picked up lots of pointers on form from it.

Blows my mind: all that weight and it's dynamic day.

Keep in mind, all of these guys are using copious amounts of anabolics. The workloads are too intense and exhausting for drug-free lifters or even people who use mild amounts of gear

this is speed training day. not max effort

hell yeah... thats a great fuckin video

The size of that guy's legs 😮😮

@fighting185 The point of it is to unload your muscle spindles of kinetic energy so your muscle force is doing all the work, it is brutal, so yeah, I would so put a lot of weight on the box, too little of weight on the box, and you are missing the point.

Tim Harold?

so on max effort day, would you choose a close stance? by the way, awsome vid.

No always wide

when you do these, are you supposed to relax ur muscles a little bit when you sit back on the box or no??

Mike K nope. Tightness when you go done and stay tight when you explode up. It's for explosive power so you have to stay tight all round.

Is a stance that wide recommended for an average Joe, or is that more of an advanced thing?

This is an old ass comment but in case anyone is still wondering you should probably not take a stance this wide unless you are a multi-ply lifter

If your an equipped lifter a wide stance like that is necessary and should always squat wide. If your raw then go as wide as you can go before your hips start to feel a lot of tension
