  • are those high bar squats?

  • You have perfect form when you squat! I don't know if its because I'm not flexible enough but i get scared to go that low

  • i was surprised derek was only squating 605..then i read the description

    beast mode confirmed

  • its scary when a bar that thick just kind of looks like rubber

  • oh lawdy

  • Nice squatting!

  • Is that 605, its looks like 6 plates, which would be 585. Still impressive. Derek is a beast.

  • @BIGPN35 There is a space between the first and second 45s, there are probably 10s between them.

  • @BIGPN35 the bar itself

  • @BIGPN35 It's hard to tell, but there is actually a 10 lb plate that follows the first 45 lb plate on the bar. He put it there so he could have his hand on the plate while he is squatting. I'm guessing since he is a Strongman competitor he has the wide grip because of his large frame and to imitate the Yoke event.

  • That's how grown ass men squat...thighs parallel to the floor at the bottom of the rep, you'z a dog my dude.

  • i have never see anyone grip the first plate handles.......creative i wonder what the benefits of this would be?

  • guys a beast nuff said

  • Look ma, no hands!

  • tom magee has leaner and more muscular body more than derek poundstone

  • @maxthehulk what's your point exactly? even with all those lifts he still could't beat jeff capes and bill kamaier.

  • @cridgel How the hell do you know? Derek is in a way harder class than those guys ever were....

  • @tastefulphrasing i wasn't talking about derek i was responding maxthehulk because he said tom magee was stronger than derek. make sure to read first before posting a comment.

  • this man is weak compared with men like tom magee because :

    1-tom magee deadlifted 1180 lbs = 535 kg but derek cant

    2-tom magee bench press 573 lbs but derek bench press just 500 lbs

    3-tom magee squated 955 lbs in wsm but derek squated 860 lbs

    4-tom magee has better physiqe and body than derek

  • @maxthehulk Thats not true, Derek does 500 for reps..... and 955 was a fixed bar.. Derek is way stronger in all around...

  • @tastefulphrasing but tom magee can bench press 573 lbs

  • @maxthehulk last i checked world reord dealift is 1015. And the hummer tire is 11xx. derek and Big z shaw ortmayer misha would slaughter the top strongmen of the past including the great bill kazmire. these guys a monsters compared to the one's in the past. and who cares if his stats are higher he would never even to be able to touch derek in a contest

  • @maxthehulk troll

  • no knee wraps? thats solid!

  • he ate all his spotters.

  • You should of won WSM in 2009, you really were in amazing form. Good luck for WSM 2011

  • @dan13718

    trololololololol

  • hahah look at that bar bounce

  • the most i've ever done is 450 on a maxout lol

  • heavy weight..going deep..high bar position..shoulder width stance..grippin the handles of the weight instead of the bar...somebody put dat man in !attack mode!

  • nvm the spotter further back lol

  • @arizonacardinals94 If I was the spotter, I'd be shitting in my pants hoping Derek does not lose form or focus.

  • dam no spotter and no safety bars too, he's crazy strong

  • ghetto booty

  • Knowing I'm gonna draw fire for saying this, I'm saying it even so. I'd have guessed he could do more than this. Especially since 198 pound Dave Rigert did butt to ankles squat of 305 kilos (672 pounds) for 3 reps, and that was way back. DP didn't go so far down. Was he off his game? Pass in PL meet? Of course. Yeah, I'm a critic, and critics could only load those bars. We also know whose performance was best. "He who specializes wins" at each event and weight class.

  • @tilymaster44, u couldnt of said it any better. i cmpletely agree with u.

  • what the hell? 605 and no safety racks? Thats just asking for trouble

  • @bilbreezyy not when your a beast!!!

  • @dtomv34 haha, anyone can blow out a knee pal. 605 dropped on your neck while doubled over would feel like....well, 605 on your fuckin neck!!!! need I say more?

  • like this if this vid makes you wanna really go hard on squats !

  • @acebaker911 im a big fan of Derek and the strongman sport, and bodybuilding, olympic lifting , powerlifting etc. dont compare to these guys in strength power and athleticism. but Derek or any other strongman wouldnt stand a chance against the top HEAVYWEIGHT mma fighters in the world. hes just too big and that would slow him down and he would gas out real quick. speed and stamina are just as important as strength in a fight and all of u people seem to forget that.

  • I would hate to spot this guy

  • @negrohops12 lol exactly

  • does poundstone use a low bar positon or a high bar position here cuz i can never tell with guys as big and muscular as he is????

  • @tom88cba It's highbar

  • @tom88cba high

  • Great form dude!

  • is he not gripping the bar??

  • Comment removed

  • where are his hands? they're not on the barbell, are his forearms pushing the plates outward?

  • @ArCxlioN he's holding down on the handles of the plates

  • shit no spotter to... i cry when i have a spotter doing 300

  • I bet this guy can front squat 495 which is safer and harder and more impressive than back squats

  • @za1pp this is derek poundstone, one of the strongest men on the planet, he front squats well into the 600s.

  • @tom88cba

    nah most likely 500s 

  • @za1pp theres a vid online somehwere,(i cant find it now) but its poundstone training deadlifts with bodybuilder evan centaponi. Poundstone does some front squats after his deadlifts and i think he works up to 600lb max attempt. I think he misses the attempt once but eventually gets the front squat..I watched the video like a year ago. I'm not disagreeing with you, he prob most often works his front squats around 450s for reps but maybe under ideal conditons he maxes in mid 600s.

  • @tom88cba

    one thing for sure is he is a beast

  • @za1pp yup

  • @tom88cba I've seen that one, it's on team-andro, called something like DP&EC pulling deadlifts

  • @dan13718 Both of which actually maximize strength gains from training; you are literally too stupid to insult.

  • I think he gave the spotters a day off...

  • Beast

  • @dan13718 Every body builder took steroids atleast once. Your ignorance is scary.

  • Squatting is freaking terrifying my back hurts at 200 i can't imagine 605.

  • damn if i ever saw the weight bouncing like that on my squats i would have tears of joy

  • @dan13718 so do strongmen, powerlifters, football players, pro wrestlers, etc. get your facts right before you troll pal

  • I wonder if his vert is like 55 inches?

  • Excellent fucking form, God bless you.

  • That is a fantastic squat! everything was done correctly! Im thoroughly impressed. I do think he should have the side spotters on therack though....

  • why do so many of these world class lifers need to do these heavy ass squats outside of the rack or without the use safety measures. If you saw the video of derek tearing his quad out while in the bottom of a squat, whats stopping that from happening here. I think people that squat like this are stupid, his world class career could be over in a second.

  • Good depth, and like the way he keeps his chest up. Coaching that is one hard thing to do as so many want to look down. One young man in our gym came to me for help. I told him on ascent drive your shoulders into the bar. He was shocked how much easier the weight moved. Derek by keeping his chest up like he did is doing this. I love watching great squats almost as much as squatting myself.

  • chuck norris died watching this video

  • FUCKING BEAST!

  • i find this hard to masturbate to

  • @bigfro92 i dont

  • @bigfro92 lol haha

  • @bigfro92 watching this video makes my penis invert to a vagina :-/

  • @bigfro92 fag

  • @bigfro92 i dont

  • Crazy!!! wow!!

  • It is quoted that tom platz squatted 600lbs 50 times at his prime

  • how much is dereks max

  • DP works out at a regular gym? Cool.

  • @pear928 That is not a regular gym, you have probably seen a squat rack like that at your gym but look in the background, there's tires everywhere... it's a olympic training gym

  • Wow! Amazing depth and nice shoes.

  • strongman competitors are more powerful than powerlifters. yes some powerlifters lifts more on deadlifts or squats but their no match in a strongman competition.

  • @turningaxe I agree cause strongmen have to have awesome cardio and endurance too. These guys are literally the best well rounded athletes in the world. Speed power and agility

  • @JaKeth3snake Best athletes in the world are decathletes. Strongmen are...well....strong but let's not get carried away...

  • @tempac91 They have good agility but no strength. These guys have both maybe not the best of each though but they are well rounded.

  • @JaKeth3snake Decathletes have no strength?!? What are you smoking? Just because they can't deadlift 800 pounds, that doesn't mean they have no strength. Most likely, they can deadlift a larger percentage of their bodyweight than most strongmen. lol, no strength...

  • I wonder if he could do 500lb 23 times like Tom Platz did a few years ago.

  • Derek you are a machine

  • i don't care how much you lift or how manyyears you've been lifting, always expect the worst and use crash bars or chains or spotters

  • perfect form

  • thats fucking insane....

  • he makes that look so easy and he is laughing after his set

  • I can squat 605lbs but, NOT five times.

  • why the fuck do ppl keep commenting on me whe i jokingly said now try workin 5 days a week of 10 hrs a day of manual labor??? and other ppl r saying hes not really the wsm??? go attack them with ur gayness

  • @lifterXofXtheXdead it's because the internet gives losers like you a voice. You are selfish and have achieved nothing in life so instead of praising a guy you have to make the attention go on you by saying something stupid.

  • @MultiTrollHunter and i admitted i was just joking around. everyone deserves a voice. i think ppl like u r the real problem with the net. maybe u should just relax and stop taking everything so literal.

  • beast mode engaged

  • all the training and competitions he's done, i think he knows what his knees can handle and i think he knows what he's doing.

  • all over youtube there are guys much lighter than this guy doing 600 for 5 reps or more. What's the big deal? America's strongest man? Hardly!

  • @IIUPTOWNII deep?...no equipment?...high bar position?

  • @biscuitmancollin Don't bother responded to a dumbass like that. He's just another fucking retarded poster on Youtube.

  • @IIUPTOWNII show me these vids you're talking about

  • he is going to low isnt he??? that shit is going to fuck up his back.

  • SHIT I can't help but cringe when I imagine his knees dislocating from all this weight.

  • @simp3204

    That's why its called the maxi pad

  • impressive.....now lets see him do some labor for 10 hours 5 days a week!!!!

  • @lifterXofXtheXdead he is a police officer, that might not be hard manual labor but between that and WSM training i'd say you're out of line callin him lazy douchebag

  • @mikerich928 lol did i call him a lazy d bag in another video??? i cant remember. just fuckin around dude. i didnt ask for ur opinion :D

  • @lifterXofXtheXdead you are the definition of loser...you see something impressive but can't just praise it you have to write a stupid fucking comment and then insult somebody who calls you out on it. Just because you fail at life and find it hard to watch other people succeed don't go around being a faggot in the comment sections of videos ok...it just makes you look like a loser.

  • @MultiTrollHunter lol ok w/e. im just fuckin jokin around damn. stop being such a bitch. idk why u guys find it neccasary to fuckin comment on my "sarcastic comment". bitching me out doesnt make yall look ne better.

  • 600 lbs, no crash bars.. holy shit this guy is confident

  • DEREK IS THE MAN!!!

  • DEREK IS THE MAN!!!

  • worlds strongest man is just the name used to market it. strongman is the name of the sport. you cant compare powerlifting and strongman. you're a fuckin idiot if you think a geared 1rm on a benchpress is a true test of someones strength. why dont we throw mendelson into a wsm competition, see how he does in the truck pull, tire flip, and farmers walks etc. its two completely different animals. strongman is far more functional and real world strength then powerlifting, and im a powerlifter

  • @tillymaster44 Can't argue with that ...

  • @tillymaster44 Good comment. To really be the strongest manin the world imo completely, you ahve to be nr1 in olympic, power and strongman, thats my opinion.

  • @tillymaster44

    That's true but I think scot can compete. He has much more than bench press, he can scout a shit load.

  • I don't think most people commenting this realize he isn't holding the bar, he is holding the handles of the plates which is infinitely harder and pretty insane. Also it says he just did car deadlifts and people are still talking shit about the weight. Trolls.

  • badass olympic squats with no arm support

  • @jamal2021 WOW, you said all of that without even taking a breath! Try some punctuation

  • very clever way to hold the bar! may try at next time

  • How many reps did Tom Platz do with 500lb?

  • @xanthromera 23

  • @xanthromera 23

  • @xanthromera 23 reps

  • next time i need my house moved ill call you

  • beautiful squats

  • @carlwinslowned youre tough...motherfucker.

  • no pad on the traps? i can only imagine the bruising that weight does to skin.

  • @Omega1079

    Pads on barbells are only for pussies!

  • @simp3204 but my neck gets sore.

  • @simp3204 too bad theres no pad on this bar. derek is no pussy

  • @simp3204 guess i'm a pussy then.

  • @simp3204 That is why we call it a pussy pad

  • @Omega1079 A man's squat bruise is something he should pride himself in.

  • guys got some balls to do that without the safty bars on the rack. if he dropped that shit it could of been bad

  • i enjoy legitimate squatters. thank you

  • @GetDownOrLayDown31 stfu son, he's derek poundstone and you are? nobody?

  • @tripleleap

    Its just a safety precaution, it takes 30 secs to rack some safety bars on, its not that hard and if something were to happen it would save his career or even his life!

  • The best muscle ghetto ASS !!!

  • "he previously deadlifted his car for 16 reps "

    LMFAO straight up G

  • was he not using his hands?

  • @xabcx He was using the holes in the plates as a handle. That's why the 10 pound plates are the second ones he put on, so then there's space, as you can see in the video, for him to put his fingers in when he reaches through the holes in the plates.

  • @LayEmOut60 ahh. didn't see that. good eye.

  • What's his one rep max?

  • Is all that strongman equipment Derek's personal items that he keeps at a commercial gym or does the equipment belong to the gym

  • This is how you SQUAT !!!! Great overall form.

  • @delgado717 another internet gym nazi

  • That bar is going to snap and he's going to fly upwards through the roof

  • @sirfreakish LOL

  • Why doesnt he hold the bar?

  • :O amazing. That is all there is to say really.

  • I love how hes not holding the bar but pushing against the weights with his forearms!

  • Jesus he wasnt using a saftey bar. That could have been bad of course he is strong as a fucking rhino it didnt seem like work for him at all.

  • now that's a proper squat.. and what a strong basterd..

  • you sir, are a fucking beast. If anyone wants to do that start squatting now. Follow the five set five rep program for about 20yrs and u may be squatting up to 700-800 pounds raw with only a belt. OLD SCHOOL INDEED.

  • I need what he's taking 

  • bar looks like its made of rubber.....

  • WOW. Amazing strength. He was even smiling after he did it! My eyes would bulge out of my head and I would be crying!  Impressive guy!

  • is derek wearing olympic lifting shoes?

  • @stipeslol i think he just has adidas on... i may be wrong, but it does seem like he has an adidas theme going on.

  • @stipeslol yup

  • this is my max ... now i feel like a little girl even thou im 16 lol

  • @MrMuffins1000 This probably isn't even remotely close to your max, stop talking on youtube and go lift a weight buddy

  • @a7xBulletSoilwork actually yeah it is pretty much my max, last time i maxed i did 590

  • @MrMuffins1000

    Lol..you dont have to lie to kick it.

  • @anytingbu um, ok?

  • @MrMuffins1000

    im just saying . no need to lie.. when you have some videos then everybody will believe you. but til then, its untrue and unproven

  • @anytingbu ok then

  • @MrMuffins1000 oh wow. id forgotten how much you little attention seekers made me cringe. you do not squat 600 at 16. end of.
