And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
7 per side. 14 total + bar weight (standard weight also 45 lbs) although the bar being used here looks inferior thus possibly a little lighter than a standard 45 lbs bar. 15 x 45 = 675 lbs. It appears the lifter is doing short power squats, ( not breaking parallel ), not full squats. This type of lifting is use to strengthen the tendons and ligaments to ultimately achieve greater lifting power/gains.
Oh! My toe.
ReplyDeleteThat's 6x45 each side +45 for the bar, squatting 585 pounds.... not bad.
ReplyDeleteDo they have bigger diameter bars? Any idea how many pounds they're rated to?
