Rip squatting what appears to be 335 x 11:

I remember one of the primary complaints against the 315 x 10 video on the tubes was that Rip was "too bent over," but this video I think gives a variety of pretty good angles that show he isn't particularly collapsed over, and he maintains his back angle out of the hole pretty damn well.

You have to appreciate practicing what you preach.

looked like he was good for many more. Good vid

This one will get picked apart nevertheless. That's the nature of the internet.

Chalk on the t-shirt is a neat idea.

If you don't chalk when squatting (shirt or bar), you're neglecting a really good tool

What exactly does chalking the shirt do?

What exactly does chalking the shirt do?

Gives the bar a more solid platform to sit on. I think it doesn't help as much as some think, but it can't hurt, so why not do it? That is, unless you have a problem with the bar moving around during the set, in which case do it definitely.

I sweat like a pig...so if I don't chalk my shirt the bar is like a little kid on a slip and slide.

I loved the beginning of this video. "Alls I know is that I'm going do one and see how it feels." What was saying at the end though?

Everyone has to squat more than Old Man otherwise you're not cool.

I'm not sure I could do that
