The guys I used to squat with were short, real short, so they didn’t move the weight that far. They squatted more than the “powerlifters” at the same gym. My buddies looked killer and didn’t wear squat suits.

I was in an American gym watching dudes that looked about 300lbs, deading 4 plates. Grunting, chalking it up, banging the weights and making a show...for a triple. Lol
I wanted to walk over and bang out a triple just to fuck with them but between my snapped pelvis, pinned and plated foot, fused spine and 56 y/o body, I thought better of it. I could have done it but I seriously would have “paid the man” for doing so.
