It was unanimous. They passed the fourth but only the fourth attempt. I had to be sure because so many say they squat a bunch but then when I watch, they are not even close to parallel. So, readers, I am reasonably sure that Rob Riti's 1,000-pound Parallel Squat was indeed parallel. <br>Rob remembered,  The 1000-pound Squat was my goal. Coach Sommer and I sat down and discussed it and thought it was realistic. That day my friends and team were all here. The bar was bending and it was a challenge just to hold the weight on my shoulders. It seemed like it took forever to get it up. I felt a great deal of pride after I made it. It was a tremendous feeling to accomplish that goal. I probably will never go that heavy again. I took a couple of weeks just to fully recover. <br>Coach Sommer keeps strength records for every position. Rob holds them all except for his 450 Bench Press. <br>The University of Missouri experienced 13 consecutive losing seasons. Then they hired veteran Coach Larry Smith who is one of only four college coaches who dy fat easy and quick. As athletes receive concrete proof of improvement, individually and as a team, the result will be an avalanche of positive attitudes. True Champions are bult brick by brick, step by step, layer by layer!ure #6. Then, take two steps back to the box to get in position to squat, Figure #7. Not three, four or more; only two. All this time an aggressive atitude should prevail, not a gentle one. This helps prepare the entire body for what is to come. It is essential for injury prevention.<br>When I coached football, I learned the hard way never to say,  OK men, we are going to do some half speed drills. Everyone had their own idea of what half speed meant. Some went 95%, some went 10%. That is dangerous. I use the same mentality when coaching the Box Squat. Have a controlled aggressive attitude. Be intense even on a warm-up. Don t be gentle or go half way.<br><br>MISTAKE #6<br><br>Bill says that he  banged at the bottom. He also said that he was told to  relax at the bottom for one second. Both of these actions are completely wrong So wrong, in fact, that these actions, in my opinion, were the principal cause of Bill s injury. The spotters and lifter must work together. The back spotter uses an overhand grip. Do not spot with your hands underneath the lifter s armpits because an experienced back spotter can guide the lifter into a perfect groove (see Figure #8 and #9). <br>Figure #10 shows Coach Shepard pulling slightly back on the bar which helps Matt settle back or rock back. However, notice that Matt continues to pay strict attention to the Six Absolutes. At no time should you relax for an instant . . . let alone for one whole second. You must  Be Tall and stay erect. You must  Spread the Chest at all times to keep the lower back locked into place. Figures #11 & #12 shows Matt rocking forward and up to complete the lift. You should even try to rise up on the toes at the very end to complete a full extension. It would be like a calf raise but done in a coordinated, fluid motion like a form tackle or jumping movement. Although, it is important to be in control. You would not wa
