Video of Taysom Hill with a 625lb. squat ! (3 Viewers)

I had a friend who was a lineman for the Cajuns when I was there and he pretty much maxed at 600. Hill doing this type of squat with ease at 625 is amazing.

If I six legs and three backs I'm not sure I could pull that off...

I hurt myself just watching that video!

It’s more impressive if you imagine that he is squating 2 Jason Peters and Darren Sproles.

At BYU they put a 700lb limit on him.

When were you there? I was there 91-93.

90-95. We were there at the same time, lol! I was a sports writer for the Vermilion and I bowled for the club team. Born and raised in Lafayette.

What’s impressive to me is that he didn’t use knee sleeves or wraps and he did this as a high bar squat. Low bar allows you to use the hips/glutes/hams more to squat the weight up, high bar is mostly quads. Low bar is typically favored for moving heavy weight as you’re using more major muscle groups: I powerlift and this would be a difficult lift for a lot of experienced lifters.

And what could he do with raps, and a suit? Over 700 in my opinion.

Without a suit, wraps alone can put an additional 40-50 lbs. on a squat depending on how you wrap. With wraps he could definitely hit close to 700 IMO.

 

[Zztop]

Yeah, but can he do a back flip?

Now we have some context as to how a guy that appears to be built like a QB can crash into defenders as fearlessly as he does without getting hurt.

Is that 625? Bar doesn’t move like it’s 625. Looks more like 450 or so. This is Boston Scott lifting 625 which looks legit.

Taysom Hill is a LB with an arm, amazing!
