Check it out... not sure of his name but this is very impressive. It says in the video that his bodyweight is 259 lbs.

Wow, that is most certainly crazy impressive.

subtitles were funny though haha

evilxxx · 10-29-2009, 10:17 PM

wow...

jtteg_x · 10-29-2009, 10:18 PM

AND he goes back for a 600lb squat after. Jesus Christ

Painzer · 10-29-2009, 10:20 PM

Very VERY impressive!

Pete22 · 10-29-2009, 10:23 PM

That's damn impressive, every rep was buried. I'm surprised "near blacking out" wasn't in any of his captions.

NickAus · 10-29-2009, 10:55 PM

Yeah that is ****ing awesome!

I did 20 with 300 once and it was real hard!

str8flexed · 10-29-2009, 11:29 PM

i did 405 for 16 and thought I was badass LOL

Off Road · 10-29-2009, 11:38 PM

Andre518 · 10-30-2009, 12:28 AM

Freakin INSANE!!! I wish I could do that with 300lbs! Thanks for the post Tom.

Yea but he wore a belt on 600!

That's sick! I think doing 20 reps of 135 blows.

twm · 10-30-2009, 05:49 AM

excellent lifting... thats looks like a really nice gym too

Daniel Clough · 10-30-2009, 05:56 AM

Now that's how you do 20 rep squats!

Beefcaker · 10-30-2009, 06:52 AM

My name is Andy Ruse.

And I'll be competing in the 242 pound class. Thanks for posting up my vid, Tom.

shutUpAndSquat · 10-30-2009, 07:00 AM

really impressive! just one thing. With heavier weights you can see his knees going in. Is that safe? Probably just a lost of concentration having done 20reps before, but those knees in really scared me.

Welcome to the board.

I noticed that people were posting comments about switching back to Powerlifting after doing some bodybuilding. Do you think that the bodybuilding training has anything to do with your leg strength / strength endurance?

Looks like you are going to do some damage at the Raw Unity based on the numbers that you have been hitting in training.

brihead301 · 10-30-2009, 07:54 AM

Ya, sometimes I warm up with an easy 20 rep set w/462 lbs.....

Then I wake up.

C-Sobrino · 10-30-2009, 10:03 AM

That gym where he trains looks f'ing awesome.

Barbaccio · 10-30-2009, 10:05 AM

Dudes. He was SO getting assistance from his legs. What a gear whore. LOL Incredible squatting.

his knees are fine

Jeremy Hamilton · 10-30-2009, 10:17 AM

Damn, we will be in the same class at Raw Unity. What sort of numbers are you looking to hit?

Good luck in training.

I was doing Doggcrapp or something similar the entire time that I was training for bodybuilding. DC is very intense and forces you to constantly increase your weights or number of reps over time, so I got pretty strong on it. I would recommend it to a strength athlete looking to put on muscle and keep or increase their strength at the same time.

They did come in a little bit on the 562. I have no idea what was happening there, as that usually doesn't happen. It was probably fatigue.
