National level competitor ragingmuscle takes on IFBB pro Derik "The Freak" Farnsworth in the squat with 405 lbs for as many reps as they can get. Legend has it that The Freak got his nickname from his insane leg workouts. If you've seen his DVD, he does some crazy stuff. ragingmuscle is a beast. This should be a site to see. It will be going down at the Cage during the Arnold weekend.

Who ya bettin' on?

That's going to be a tight one... Too close to call on that... Just make sure to have the cots, empty buckets, oxygen tanks, and I.V.s on hand...

"What are you lookin' at? You're all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers, and say "that's the bad guy." So, what'll that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth... even when I lie. So say goodnight to the bad guy. Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you"-Tony Montana.

Come on Freak, when you, Pete and I first met at the NPC Team Universe in 2000 you where squating a ton of weight for reps-like a monster-DEEP ASS SQUATS....I won't tell the forum your exact weight and reps--NO NEED TO SCARE ANY ONE IN JANUARY!

But Rage, and OLDER guy like me does train very hard and has some cut-big wheels...It is going to be a great show!

I love this guy! Gotta meet you someday Freak. You pick your teeth with the weights I lift but I sense a very familiar spirit of the sport within you. It ain't all hype, it's truly how you feel inside! In this, we are the same...

Good stuff man. You guys are going to turn the Arnold upside down! Other booths will go empty as the cheering from the cage draws them all over to see what the heck is going on in there...

I'm an amino acid junkie, always have a pack or two in my car or in my bookbag and am looking for something new to add to the list. Preferably something that I can mix in with milk before bed since I'd rather save the pills for when I'm am out and am heading towards that next meal but am a bit prolonged.

as the MC for the CAGE, i find these two guys are going to be the most fun to MC.

i was on the phone last night with rage, and he was telling me all his secrets on how he is planning to squash freak. something about having freaks pictures posted all around the squat rack, and laughing while squating....i think we might have a battle on our hands.

he is pumped for this.....rage is a man on a mission

I have called upon the experience of my good friend SifuSteve, to help come up with a strategy to at least stay in the same ballpark as my brother Freak...Steve has well over 20 years experience as a trainer in the iron game and has been a big help in this quest. This Wednesday, we will put together a vid of where I'm at in this squat competition so far...It will be only me with 405 in the power rack...no spotter...just like it will be in the Cage...

Come on Freak, when you, Pete and I first met at the NPC Team Universe in 2000 you where squating a ton of weight for reps-like a monster-DEEP ASS SQUATS....I won't tell the forum your exact weight and reps--NO NEED TO SCARE ANY ONE IN JANUARY!

But Rage, and OLDER guy like me does train very hard and has some cut-big wheels...It is going to be a great show!

The last thing I would want to see is my brother RAGE hurt. I have been his spotter since training with him again and I have a hard time not being there for him now. We have talked about this many times and weighed the options/downside.

just remember guys....you only have SQUATS to warm up with in the CAGE.

no leg ext, leg curls, leg press....i think you should start warming up and training just with squats to get your body used to it.

Here we go...I hope RAGE and THE FREAK reach a workable agreement on the depth for this event. Truth be told...I have been helping/training RAGE for this event for weeks now and I will take the blame for his training depth (hamstring parallel).
I have been in (and out) of BB for 30 years. NO i am not nor have I ever been a National competitor but, do I have to be to have been around enough to know the ropes...how to get big...look strong...fit the part of a BB. One look at me after only six months back in the lifestyle will give you that answer but' this is not about me. Years of training in BB have shown that the best quadriceps development comes from a paralell that is defined as the hamstring. A constant and continuous resistance on the muscle. I did not make this up but I have put it to the test. I have a 2300 lb leg press for reps(12)...I have a 800 lb sqaut...yes for reps (3-hamstring parallel) I am not a power lifter so I didn't adhere to those rules...I didn't need to for my chosen sport.
There does need to be guidelines for this FRIENDLY competition...the way I see it...405 at any depth for reps makes these men at the top of their game!

Any thoughts?

Here we go...I hope RAGE and THE FREAK reach a workable agreement on the depth for this event. Truth be told...I have been helping/training RAGE for this event for weeks now and I will take the blame for his training depth (hamstring parallel).
I have been in (and out) of BB for 30 years.

i been thinking about this:

both guys should do their own thing.

since rage is very tall, its impressive to see a guy that tall squat that much, that LOW even if its not all the way down.

now you have freak at 5'5"? squating the same weight with ass to the groud...fucking impressive as well.

i think they should squat with how they are comfortable....bottom line.

Sgt Rock
01-30-09, 7:42 am
Im gonna jump in here, I have NOT read the entire thread yet. But I will give my opinion on squat depth. I have trained, corresponsed with many top level bbers and world champ powerlifters as well, and I feel A LEGAL POWERLIFTING SQUAT OR DEEPER GIVES THE BEST LEG DEVELOPMENT, PERIOD. Hamstrings parallel will vary greatly between lifters. A legal PL squat or below equals better leg development over a higher squat, so says Ronnie, Jay and a laundry list of others including the BEST legs of all time, PLATZ. How deep should these guys squat? Its their contest, but at least parallel will be the best way to judge it and make it more fair. If the shorter of the two wants to go lower due to leverage then he truly should, leaving no doubt as to his depth, either way there are really two types of squats, those that are parallel or below, and those that wished they went that deep.

i agree with sgt rock on quite a few of his comments, and as well siusteve, the way i was taught and always understood was if your femur bone is not parallel to the ground its not a squat, im talking a ''gym squat'' powerlifting there is a pause but in the gym it was parallel or bust....
siusteve , non stop motion is what works best for me , you see ronnie do it as well, for one it does keep the tension off the knee and i've had best results..
ive never heard of the hamstring squat and actually asked a few oldtimers and other guys i respect at the gym and they never had , a few debated and gave me a few thoughts, as , we all have different size hamstrings so even if u had 2 guys same height one had huge hamstrings one was average the depth would be different no? with the femur there is no question.. thats my take..
but in the end we all seem to agree i guess, do whats right for the individual, neither one of use should change form , if what we are ech doing is working for us why change?
i have to say i like the debate here, theres alot i mean alot of yrs of experience with the men who have been posting , you can see how diverse bbing / weightlifting is, and the end results show progress is all ways...

Well i have had the pleasure of training with both this monsters(Rage and Freak). Freak being more close to my stature(in height that is) His leg development is bar none. I have watch'd his videos and he gets real deep in his squats. Now Rage is another monstrous of man who likes going parallel. Now I have had the privilege of having rage train me personally since dec. I have seen this mans quads as well, Flipp'n HUUUUUGEE. I have received priceless advice from both on squats. But it comes down to what works best for the individual. I have tried parallel and deeper. I come to find for me that parallel is the way to go. My quads and hams are fried by the end of my squat's. So to each is his own. I would stay with what works best for Rage and what best works for Freak. Both are top notch BB'ers and they know the game really well. Def dont want to risk inj. for either. Squats is just one of those exercises that is never the same for any two individuals but done balls out and the outcome will produce monstrous legs for both.

well guys sat came and went and freak sucked... lol [ my words]

felt pretty good as i warmed up, brandon said he felt short breathed in the gym, and pete was feelign a bit tired, i thought it was just a tad warm but have felt it alot worse....

on first set of 405 i got like 20 in a row then i just began to fatigue, ended up stopping at 24... brandons first words were , ''your first set sucked'' damn i love blunt people.. dont kiss up to me , glad he speaks his mind...
so 2nd set i said fuck this and went to 500, making sure pete doesnt spot me ended getting i believe 13 reps.. again i was pissed but had to give in to the it one of those days...
i went for 405 again , just to get in a 3rd set.. got 15 in a row but bar was in my neck in a shityy was so i stopped to avoid injury, but i do know this based on that 2nd set of 405, i will not get under 25 for the expo, on my worst days i can plow 20 in a row without thinking no spot,so 25-30 is gona be a no brainer above 30? will be th3 adrenaline and the atmposphere that will play a role...
i mentioned earlier i na post i was going through somethings, basically its my studies, taking a class for massage school and have an A.R.T seminar this weekend and have to pass test so i know my brain is fatigued ,all that plus a fulltime training /massage company and my own traoining ,, once its over i'll be refreshed and able to put that pressure behind me

LOL..depends on depth..thigh parellel or below I'm good for about 20 maybe...a little higher and I'm good for 30+...the conditioning is totally different. When I go low, I don't get as winded as when I go higher..and I get a better pump in my quads at a higher depth..I have to bow down to Byrd on the depth call though..

I was hoping they would have two power cages so it could be done at the same time. Put those bad boys in the middle face to face, and let you two monsters go wild. However, due to space limits I assume it will be done one at a time.

I like that idea. head to head at the same time. because i know if they can see each other for every rep neither one will wanna b the first to stop.
