Lance, is this paused rep at this BW doable for the non-genetically gifted with only creatine and nothing "else". That CNS power is just apeshit.

Sure, but extremely rare to have the combination of things it takes to do it all come together. I would say he has a good structure for squatting, has trained well/intelligently, and is overall just a strong squatter in general. I wouldnt define him as insanely genetically gifted athletically like a t-dub or a casey combest, but good genes/structure for strength and using what he has wisely.

Genetically gifted is somewhat relative isn't it? I'd say he is genetically gifted as far as the back pause squat goes... I'd actually argue that the "athletically gifted" state would make this damn near impossible as far as sprinters are concerned; someone like Usain Bolt (IMO the most gifted ever) would be surprisingly weak in an exercise like this. To some extent the levers which allow you to produce ridiculous reactive power down the track are also those that making squatting less efficient. This is surely an oversimplification but being truly great in anything requires a level of specificity and efficiency for that movement which reduces carryover to other movements. Essentially the power required for your average guy to run like Bolt time is much more than what is required for Bolt. Similarly Raptor will likely not be able to pause squat almost triple BW like this guy; but if he "could" he would have a vertical jump of 50 inches or something inhuman. This is kinda why calculators and predictors for athleticism always over predict ability when you base them on what you are naturally good at and underpredict when you base them on what your naturally poor at.

Right, which is why I said GOOD GENES/STRUCTURE FOR STRENGTH. His olympic lifts are also very far from what a typical "genetic freak" would have even with poor technique if they had his squat strength.

Ah, I see. So much confusion for me as to how people from different backgrounds use words; in a lifting context strength is defined by squatting and power defined by the pulls? In sprinting strength refers almost exclusively to speed endurance; we would say a miler has endurance, a great 400m runner has to have a lot of strength while a 100m runner has power. I guess we are perhaps the most wrong from a physical standpoint.
