The GOAT

[@NauticalDisaster]

Thanks for uploading this Tom

[@juanpadilla3203]

Excellent, thanks for posting!

[@devynwiesner6211]

Wow great seminar! I learned a lot!

[@robbymbelhans195]

is there a second part?

[@dudesgym]

Awesome lesson. Can bodybuilders use box squats for hypertrophy?

[@Dr_Footbrake]

They can, but I’m not sure they’d be as good as free squats as you’re breaking up the tension on the muscle every rep

[@Yeomannn]

Save the big barbell movements for ME and DE work. Louie once said that 80% of what his lifters do is smaller movements. Use those smaller exercises for hypertrophy.

[@whitehawk23]

Simmons is the LaRouche of the sports and fitness world.

[@tyrrellphoward3271]

I'm the Barack Obama of reductive comparisons

[@jotr.9786]

Bullshit, if he had weightlifters they all would be band. lol

[@wick3dwick]

best band in the world. Would outsell metallica

[@markshanahan8147]

@@wick3dwick lol.. for real though, they would be wrapped up in "bands" that were converted into "BS cheat yourself from doing a real life clothing." That mixed with "move the bar a 3rd of the travel distance ACUTAL LIFTERS are doing" and you got the... "Hey Ma! I'm Superman! When in reality you're a sh!t lifter.

[@osiris3yhn]

Overrated

[@nicholaswestendorf1983]

Box squats are dangerous and useless. Super dangerous on the spine. stupid.

[@ringen4991]

Just dont try break the box

[@Justinh102k]

whats terrible for the spine is having weak muscles around it

[@jimdango123456]

Box squats are very dangerous and ineffective when done incorrectly. Anything you do in the gym with poor technique will be dangerous, and have minimal effect. Leave your ego at the door, and do the exercises correctly.

[@laughingtothebanklikehahah3618]

keep cryin son

[@Dr_Footbrake]

Actually studies show box squats have less compressive loading than free squats, and as far as I’m aware there are no longitudinal studies comparing injury rates (or training outcomes) so you don’t really have anything to support your position

[@nicholaswestendorf1983]

Damn, look at all you school girls climbing over each other to kiss the ring, Simmons is a has been and never was, his methods are archaic and inefficient, his athletes are only "great" because of steroids.

[@BruceWayne-rb1mb]

Fake news

[@tr-iu1nq]

Ahaha what a terrible take

[@sovesta.1682]

you do realise that every power lifter at the top level is on steroids, the playing ground is equal. you must be new to the sport of you think only taking roids is gonna make you squat 1100lbs

[@rb6120]

lol wow. Listen, if you are on gear, you have to train harder. If you are a competitor
