715 PAUSED SQUAT: NO BELT NO WRAPS and technique cues [ Chad Wesley Smith]

Chad Wesley Smith hits up a squat workout with Mark Bell and Silent Mike and goes over how he sets up for the squat, how he uses high bar squats and other variations, and brags about how gosh darned strong he is.

690lb for 9 reps on squats?!?! Not even mad, that's just impressive.

Hold up! Lets talk about the hottie at 0:11 with the captain america dress! She was mirin that 900+ pd squat.

[@SilentMike]

Great knowledge from Chad! Was awesome lifting with and learning from him.

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

Are you Silent Mike or Magic Mike? Good video.

[@annettetibbetts6634]

***** lol Lego's man really ahhahahaahhahahahahh jk I love Lego's !!!!!!!!!

[@annettetibbetts6634]

***** ur channel is based around Lego's bro.

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

***** I guess if you make KZbin videos you are not allowed to have any other interests or comment on anything else. Not trying to be bossy or condescending, but I think maybe we all should dial it a bit back. There isn't any reason to make things personal or go off topic here. I doubt Silent Mike appreciates his inbox getting cluttered with this stuff. He might talk about taints every five minutes, but if we actually want him to read and take replies seriously we might want to lay off. Besides, a video on Lego sounds pretty cool to me. Heck, Mike Matei spent about ten minutes talking about them with AlphaOmegaSin the other day.

Mark might possibly have the worst mobility in human history lol

[@frambojan]

715 is awesome, but I am way more impressed by the 500 for 22 reps. I can accept a huge dude being way stronger than me, but I am deeply shamed by that kind superhuman cardio and muscular endurance. Time to quit dodging high reps sets.

[@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477]

dude's a freak.

[@drchico40]

All these power lifters Mark has at his place.....all seem like genuinely good guys! Then on other channels....so many of the bodybuilders are douchebags!

[@wyldeyouth]

drchico40 Since bodybuilding revolves around looking your best, i'd imgaine they have thinner skin than, lets say a powerlifter.

[@CxStark]

@@wyldeyouth also they eat a lot less.. that makes people irritable especially when your body is burning calories fast and wants food

Really enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing all this great info with the lifting community. Blessings

CWS is magnetic. His accomplishments combined with his charisma gives him great authority.

I had to restart this video 3 times, kept getting lost in his eyes

[@chooseatrandom]

All the videos with Chad. . . and so very little talk about them baby blues . .no hetero

[@supertraining06]

No not really. This is referring to keeping your feet in contact with the floor at all times.

[@philclarke3660]

I have been doing passive paused squats and never active ones. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways.

[@pizzaDhut]

When you squat as much as Chad you don't need to brush your hair

[@devinmichel3207]

He looks like a madman. I would just rock a bald head at that point. Lol

[@jonescolej]

22:09 715lbs pause squat

[@kale11111]

Thank you Chad Wesley, been squatting for almost 2 years and never quite found my form, it changed every time. but i made one tiny change to my form (pulling elbows together from the top position) and it's made the fluidity of my heavier squats much better. Felt great!

[@daleross3052]

dan lookin lean as a pickle now

[@supertraining06]

Dan and lean should never go into the same sentence.

[@Bigdan916]

Thanks Mark

[@annettetibbetts6634]

supertraining06 no u could say Dan is not lean. There's a sentence that Dan and lean would make sense.

Another top level guest in this series giving away expert insight to all who care to listen. Great job!

[@hafeez1hammad]

Vagus fault was a new one here.... supple leopard had me pushing out wayyy too far though. .. what Chad said makes great sense... i guess Kelly can keep tht excessive knee push out for himself and his supernatural mobility . .. great video and respect to Chad and Kelly !

[@docoftheworld]

This is real strength. I started lifting at 30 ( a year ago). I know i'm too late in the game, but I want to progress slowly over the next 10 years.

[@boxlad7583]

It's never too late to start lifting

[@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477]

i started at 44 and have hit a 510 squat when i was 45. i wish i had started at your age!

[@mightyman8498]

More stuff with the lilybridge family plz How ever you spell it

[@foimassa]

i never thought of pause squats that way! i always just bottomed out and sorta rested on myself, it makes sense that keeping tension would build more isometric strength and stability

[@kmofighter1]

Mark asks awesome questions. You really know how to get the most out of guests, man. Awesome video.

[@daleross3052]

kelly starrett at 7:57 made me spit out my drink

[@32mega]

Great session guys. Lots of great info that we can all utilize. Mr. Smith is very well spoken - clear and concise. Good to hear a power-lifter refer to safety during lifting.

[@connorstanfield7828]

30:45 really long nose hair

[@AmericanBulldogFit]

I think its really cool to have your bros quote on the wall. Respect :)

[@jalidav1]

I saw the title of this video 715" paused" squat, I then saw that the video was 40 minutes long. Imagine my disappointment

[@boxlad7583]

Well he did a 715 pause squat so I don't get why you're disappointed

Hmmm it would seem this has gone straight over your head

[@CxStark]

it's the key ..always be a student even when you're the teacher.. still strive to keep on learning

[@tjh455]

I always heard you guys talk about getting tight when setting up for the squat. The way Chad explained it and demonstrated it on Silent Mike made something click in my brain. I have since prioritized getting my back as tight as possible. As a result, my hands are much closer together and my bar position has moved up a bit higher on my back . My squat feels SOO much better. I feel much more solid under the bar now. Thx so much guys for doing what you do.

[@marcusavitia634]

Everytime I see this video I think of how many guys saying who is the chick in the marvel dress and not really focusing on the very impressive 937 raw squat

[@OptimusSime]

I'll say what everybody is thinking..... those camo wraps are super sexy

[@tony72tony72]

My two favorite "gurus" Fantastic! Mark I think Kstarr needs to do some work on you again

[@ghettobeats]

Next time Chad's over, make him do the Matthew Maconaughey impression k? It's awesome.

[@williamshaw120]

Another awesome collaboration featuring Chad Wesley smith! Every time I watch a super training videos I am overloaded with a wealth of knowledge! Best channel on KZbin!

[@TheFuryofLight]

Could you talk to these guys more about diet when you get the chance?

[@voxyde]

The quality of the video and the quality of the information itself is simply unreal

[@jinbas]

Mark looks so tiny in this video compared to now ;(

[@Druid51]

Some people are just designed to squat. If you look at the legs you can see a big difference in the way Mike and Mark squat vs CWS and the other guy.

[@Dance1617]

Huge difference in sizes there, and results in huge differences in leverages not just strength. That's probably the biggest difference.

[@Druid51]

Yeah that probably too. I need to get fatter.

[@mitchellhayman381]

Adrian Półtorzycki getting fat helps the squat but not the deadlift. You have to find a bodyweight that gives you the best coefficient of your total.

[@TeamRussianSambo]

False. We are all "designed" to squat. Environmental factors obviously play the difference. But initially, we are all the same.

[@mitchellhayman381]

Ultimate Human Potential You don't believe that short legs are better for squats?

[@wdujsub7902]

name of the music at the start please! It gives me the chills!

[@johntrains1317]

500x22? That's so fucked. 22:15 Chad tells Mike not to bounce out of the hole in a pause squat. Proceeds to bounce out of the hole in a pause squat

[@MrJosh6889]

The craziest part of that 500 x 22 is that he stayed standing afterwards. I've done 75% of 1rm x 10 before and had to lay on the ground for a minute afterwards.

[@boxlad7583]

I did 105% of my max for 3 sex me up

[@daniellotuchee6519]

I've never seen any competitive powerlifter be able to squat that much more than they are able to deadlift o_O

[@davidinnes6697]

Can someone please explain to me why all these really strong dudes like larry williams, eric lilliebridge, Chad Wesley Smith, and such all gravitate towards VIRUS as their brand of choice during heavy weight-lifting? I just wn=anna know if it's worth spending all that money on some leggings

[@ancalagon1919]

Best fitness content on youtube. The hard work is paying off Mark!! Thanks.

[@thatboostedjeep3957]

Why does mark just half reps everything? I always see him say he squatted 1000 but still half rep bad

[@prassek8869]

this may have been asked already, but what kind of bar is that? Rogue or Texas? I'm interested because of the extended knurling in the middle.

[@Scoatland]

Is 500x22 not close to the record Chris Duffin just tried to break?

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Ewan MacDonald its more but I didn't know that it was a record so I didn't bother to have Guiness Book people there.

[@Beesty87]

Pure gold all these vids.. Coan Duffin CWS so so spoilt how about a Green or Lillybridge or one of the Russian guys

[@CWBush73]

Also, you talk about coming down the squat fast. What muscles should you feel that are using the stretch reflex?

[@kanervatie]

This guy thinks for me. Well done! Haven't taught that set design, but it's so simple now.

[@jakepierce9602]

Awesome video. Assmuffin just recently introduced the anderson squats and I have been really enjoying them but I do agree that after the initial take off they seem to lose their challenge. I will try the chains soon. Thanks for all of the knowledge.

Chad mentions about the importance of locking in his hips (around 19:20) along with core bracing, can anyone elaborate on what he means about his hips?

This is very good content and I've learned a lot from hearing and watching it! Thank you! :)

[@Kaelan66]

You didn't mention Kelly Starret was in the video aswell. Loved that haha

[@thetruthseek7866]

i like these types of videos with other weightlifters. very chill, intresting and informative!

[@huebothedog665]

No belt, no wraps, but what about no technique cues???

[@humungus3]

This screwing the foot into the floor is something i've heard several times now but this is the first time i've heard it in direct reference to valgus. It seems to essentially be a 'force the knees out' cue is that right?

[@kodeypatterson8973]

Mark seems like a cool dude. Like a dude i would hang out with.

[@jamesgrimond]

So many good pieces of information to take away from this video!
