Kettlebell squat vs. barbell squt challenge

Did Hobbes [was it he] take up the challenge? Did someone mention doing it
in reverse too. You know, like getting one of these kettlebell dudes to
squat 600lbs? Now *that* would be more interesting to me!

Wont work.

Even with superhuman neuromuscular activity, you need sheer, raw mass to
squat 600 pounds.

I tried it with my 70 lb kettlebell. It was awkward, but not hard to
squat. Balance was the issue. I did 5 awkward reps and felt it in the
knees today.

OYOH - I leaned forward some and wouldn't have been able to do it facing
a wall.

I really had to drive the knees forward to do it. I don't really like it
as a movement.

Bill Kazmeier. The Kaz - who squatted over 900 lbs.

In all fairness to the first guy - Platz is using a supersuit and wraps.
But still.

The point of the wall, I believe, is to control some of that. It makes
it into essentially a weighted hindu squat, torso almost upright. I do
_not_ recommend anyone try it the way you did for the reasons you
mention. I only do mine right in front of a wall.

If you're willing to try them in front of a wall, I'll work on them for
a while that way after my meet's over in another week. I think I can
fairly quickly get up to a 50 lbs. that way but 70 will likely take a
while.

What if you get SO immensly strong strong that when your muscles contract,
the entire building starts to shake and the walls will come down?

Ever thought about that?
