170kg / 374 pound Deadlift @ 64kg / 141 pounds

[mrmag1cc]

This strength is insane.

[Runescapeversy]

I bet that would of been alot easier if he didnt hold his breath

[thebigtortuga]

i remember on another video you said you don't have your athletes deadlift on a regular basis. why not? wouldn't it build base strength?

[BROZKNOWS]

@thebigtortuga Most elite lifters never have a problem racking the bar in the clean, it's standing or the Jerk that's the issue. For beginners, it's a different story.

[EndlersaurusRex]

@BROZKNOWS I wouldn't consider a beginner, per se, but I haven't had much coaching in the C&J before. For someone at my level (125kg best max, done at 87 kg), who now weights about 90 kg, is it atypical for the jerk to be more difficult? Even though I've cleaned 125kg (I've never had a heavier FS than this, either), my best C&J is 15 KG less at 110. Probably just a jerk technique issue?

[MTVdontplaymusic50]

holy shit

[landreev]

pxaaxaxxa thats why most of the elite strongmans use it and also i think using straps is more girly than using mixed grip

[pulzrocks2]

Broz,

How can exceptionally 'small' guys with very little hypertrophy at all deadlift so much weight? Is there no correlation of strength with size?

I weigh 85 kilos, and I can only deadlift 140 kg for a rep.

[thebigtortuga]

@pulzrocks2 size doesn't necessarily correlate to strength. strength is all about how how many fibers you can set off at one time in your muscles. strength training is about training specifically to make, in the broadest of terms, your nervous system more efficient at a certain movement. search tom martin. you don't see bodybuilders performing these feats…

[BROZKNOWS]

@thebigtortuga Tom is awesome.

[spivey6690]

I've read that lowering the bar with heavy weight (instead of dropping it) makes you far more prone to injury...

[eburnsdaniel]

Is the double overhand used because you train deads as starting point for olympic lifts?

[decafchicken]

How often do you incorporate deadlifts into your training?

[ratttttyyy]

THAT WAS AWESOME

[centhocklars01]

hey broz, i know you say that random periods of struggling and feeling weak are normal. are these periods usually also associated with an unusual amount of pain/soreness or stiffness particularly in the hips when trying to reach the bottom? Just wondering because despite no prior injuries and no current injuries this seems to happen at random every once in a while.

[BROZKNOWS]

@centhocklars01 the stiffness is normal when you are new to ATG squats for volume.

[joshie2022]

Hello John, I was wondering why Josh is slowly lowering the bar to the floor. This really resembles a Romanian DL.

[BROZKNOWS]

@joshie2022 For younger lifters, I encourage setting the bar down. More work.

[acon120]

@brozknows, Broz what does a typical warm up look like for you and your lifters?

[widdow06]

awesome lift dude.



[Karlhumphreys1988]

Awesome tekkers man. Over-extension of neck looks a bit odd though :)

[Hedphelym]

broz, i can only bench press 77 kg's for 1 rep after more than 5 years of consistent training. please fucking help me....all i wanna do is be able to bench more than 100 kg's and i'll be happy.

[BROZKNOWS]

@Hedphelym bodyweight? 1RM Squat?

[Hedphelym]

@BROZKNOWS

bodyweight is 60 kg's at 5'9.

best squat i've ever done is 80 kg's although i've done 75 kg's for 10 once. i can barely squat my bodyweight at the moment.

i would seriously fucking cry of happiness if i could bench and squat over 100 kg's without having to gain that much weight.

[BROZKNOWS]

@Hedphelym start squatting daily, drop benches for 4 months.

when your squat goes up, so will your bench. squat 130, then you will bench 100 within 2 weeks after benching again

[Hedphelym]

@BROZKNOWS

i'll do it. thanks so much for the reply. i'll even keep a log somewhere. 

[nickfreije123]

@BROZKNOWS I know the advice you gave him was correct, but why exactly does increasing the squat lead to a higher bench?

[fackshaitcrazy]

Hey coach Broz, how should an average guy (not training to compete) training deadlift once a week, train deadlift i.e how many sets and reps? Please respond, squats are almost catching up to my deadlifts :/

[BROZKNOWS]

@fackshaitcrazy good, because DL and BS should be the same.

[fackshaitcrazy]

@BROZKNOWS Thanks, but how many sets and reps do you recommend for the deadlift? I am currently doing 4 sets with 3-4 reps, and sometimes a little lighter weight and 6 reps. The same with squats by the way.

Aaaaand I am also looking forward to the new website!

[lastpakbe]

So howcome he only DL's 170 while he's doing 140kg FS for 3 o.O

[BROZKNOWS]

@lastpakbe based on your formula, ?% FSx3=DL 1RM?

[RandomStevie]

@BROZKNOWS Shit, now I can only DL 205.

[lastpakbe]

@BROZKNOWS

Well, 3reps @ 140 means about a 1RM of 150kg FS. This means a difference of 20kg between FS & DL1RM... Shouldn't that be higher, like ~50kg ?

[BROZKNOWS]

@lastpakbe the BS and DL should be about the same. the ratio FS:BS is waaaaaaay different based on leverages, height, weight, etc. I never found a correlation between FS to DL.

[yorkbell]

Nice lift at that bw. Just sent a video response, what do you think of my form? Curving my back too much?

[Dcgusto9]

@BROZKNOWS oh ok so is the philosophy behind the way you incorporate deadlift into the training sort of like just used for new lifter to stimulate their body with heavier way to get them where they need to be?

[Harmonikk]

I can do that no sweat. Except I weigh 93kg, lol!

[nickfreije123]

Hey Coach- I work out at a HS so I can only go M-F. What can I do on weekends to make more progress and get some work in?

[MsVegasbabyyeah]

I'm fast off the floor and slow after the knees. What does that mean? Strong back, weak legs?

[BROZKNOWS]

@MsVegasbabyyeah prob bad positions

[funnyhour]

@BROZKNOWS I'm the opposite. Slow off the ground but once the weight moves, it's fast. Suggestions?

[BROZKNOWS]

@funnyhour put more weight on the bar

[l70hts]

I am proud of doing 5x5 at 85kg, and then this guy shows up in my inbox...

[kingcharelsyoung29]

Hey broz I was wondering if you take any supplements to get stronger

[Feon2]

now i'm jealous



[vongSTAA]

oh damn! this kid's the same age, weighs 1-2kg less but deadlifts a good 30kg more! I need to step my game up =(

[rohangiga]

fucking nice

[cshslacrosse7]

Damn, im 75k and my max is only 155 lol

[xNewAgeWarriorx]

@cshslacrosse7 Im sure you could do more.

[krautstampflsepp]

@cshslacrosse7 come on, thats almost double bodyweight, its a good lift !

[Dcgusto9]

Hey coach bros how often do you have your athletes deadlift again? I'm thinking about doing it once a week. Also is that his max?

[BROZKNOWS]

@Dcgusto9 on that day it was but it was a morning workout, and had already done a ton of other things first.

we don't deadlift heavy very often. depending on level of lifter. new ones a bit more often, more experienced ones hardly ever.

[nddurana]

fucking beautiful

[dnasplice]

nice! im working at 365.. working up to 405 as a new goal...

love the vids broz

[Will132us]

Strong kid!

[Rockstar22ize]

i would suggest breathing

[daluke61]

Third!

[eowdaoc]

Now that is a super-exaggerated arch, lol.

[ungernkhan9876]

Nice. I thought his deadlift would be bigger since he can front squat 140x3 or better.

[kingcharelsyoung29]

Lol i seen this 14 year old today at the ymca reppin this but he trains for powerlifting like his dad i find olympic weightlifting though much better nice work dude

[joshlives2lift]

@kingcharelsyoung29 NEED to see that

[klane11]

damn, that nigga aint playing around. he is a very strong motherfucker!! good one Josh!

[TheB1gSleep]

Is Pat injured or something?

[DeMoNSe3d]

Slow descent awesome!!!

[FieldBoy111]

watching these videos from broz gym and reading about the training methodology is steering me towards doing frequent, low rep/ high weight type of training . This type of training is really where its at . Gaining high relative strength, strong connective tissues and an efficient nervous system beats the hell out of conventional hypertrophy type training any damn day of the week.

[samueljev]

sweet form and strong at 64

[dsquaredmlg]

he's hyper-extending his back

[MooShoe89]

are those homemade straps? how did you make them?

[Dkingofcharleville]

Josh's video's are always outstanding feat's of achievements

[elcid524]

These guys are so fucking legit

[churde]

i can do this without straps @72kg come at me

[BROZKNOWS]

@churde ok - keep watching...more vids to come! we like challenges.

[fyckthissht]

isn't that a horrible position to keep your neck in?

also do you have any special advice for a person who'd like to continue oly lifting but is currently suffering from three bulging discs?

[Iaintrussian]

No exhale on the pull?

[peterkeleher]

Holy crap!



[clarence0]

Wow my friend is the exact same bodyweight he's been training for a while and he's only deadlifting 135KG

[joshlives2lift]

Squirt...PATS VOICE

[xHarryB]

I can deadlift that but can only squat a fraction of what josh can do.

Any tips?

[MrLeeskates]

is brozknows on twitter?

[BROZKNOWS]

@MrLeeskates no

[BlackGT2RS]

Coach, I've read that you and your students dont do deadlifts very often (especially in comparison to the other lifts). When you do however, do you take it "light" on the squatting for that day? Say only once or even not at all for that particular day.

[Slarto]

Makes it even more impressive that his technique seems odd in terms of powerlifting. I guess that gives more carryover for the glorious oly-lifts?

[krautstampflsepp]

this is incredible !!

[tabarnakcalice]

sick man

[rogue8853]

how often you have your guys do deads? you dont have the use a hook grip either right? amazing.

[ttm013]

Very impressive! What are your thoughts on dropping the weight after completing the lift vs. lowering it in control? I've heard many powerlifters say that most deadlifting injuries occur when people try to lower the weight slowly and that the weight should be dropped then reset your body for the following rep.

[jappanese]

impressive. hows it going for pat btw?

[BROZKNOWS]

@jappanese under the circumstances, ok.

[jappanese]

@BROZKNOWS healing from injurys ?

[jackintheboxoffire]

@BROZKNOWS what circumstances?

[Austin333]

@BROZKNOWS Under the circumstances? Can you elaborate for those of us know are not aware of what happened?

[yorkbell]

@jappanese Is he competing at the moment?

[Mihker]

impressive !

[danielgusev]

First!
