That isn't squats. It's a squat snatch. An Olympic lift. Pull the weight from the floor as high as you can then jump under it and catch it. That's the bottom position. Standing up with it is the finish.Originally Posted by Black Diamond
The backstory: That bar is my "new computer". Abbey said pics or it ain't so. Daughter was jaw-jacking me to death while I was trying to work out so I told her to take a pic.
I have to say, I'm running out of dark sh*t in my beard

I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.

How much weight do those stanchions hold.That isn't squats. It's a squat snatch. An Olympic lift. Pull the weight from the floor as high as you can then jump under it and catch it. That's the bottom position. Standing up with it is the finish.

I have no idea. I'm sure it said on the paperwork
I'll be 62 in Dec. I think the stanchions are safe. The most I've had on them is 225 for bench press and squats. I don't have any business going over that weight. My "spotter" is 4 years old
