Cal Strength Team Prepares for Competition

[noahkeithRFL]

At 6:37 I thought it meant 1121LBS and I was like HOLY SHIT, until I looked at it and the weight closer!

[joeyelcabe]

great clean's need work on them jerks

[SteezBow]

what is robs bw?

[gheckert]

Favorite part is, "AAAAAAAAAA DAVE SPITZ!!!!" Gets me every time

[uwpowerlifting]

What brand of belt do Donny and Jon use? I've been looking for one that lays flat, without a buckle. Is it just a Harbinger one? That is all I've been able to find.

[altrocksnp]

When Jon was shouting "shankle!" I though he was shouting Sheiko! Was a "huh?" moment.

[AeacusCanti]

Those snatches were solid Jon!! 160+ at Pan ams!!

[weightliftingisgreat]

I thought I saw a wookie at the end.

[weightliftingisgreat]

Chalk abs XD

[1080famous]

spencer supporting breast cancer with that bracelet? good man

[crazycarlos4jc]

Great to come down and train with you guys this week. I'm sure I will see the results in my lifting. These guys are serious about being great lifters, and take everything else lightly. I love it. Great friends.

[cft1289]

I like this side of Jon North. Spoken like a true professional. 

[nagash19866]

did spencer gain some weight recently ? ;]

[rscabbage]

lindsay has some nice armpit hair going on

[Grumpus3]

Am I the only person who thinks that Jon North and Kevin Cornell look like twins?

[bighungry34]

sweeeet...john ur cleaning wht other countries are snatching at your weightclass......for real

[newguy3431]

@bighungry34 Like to see you say it to his face

[RandomStevie]

@newguy3431 If Jon was a true athlete (which I think he is) it wouldn't hurt him or cause him to commit an act of violence, only make him train harder.

[gheckert]

@bighungry34 TO be fair I think Jon has only been lifting for 2-3 years or so. I could be wrong, but I"m pretty sure top lifters from other countries have been lifting since they were adolescents or before that

[bighungry34]

@gheckert ..its more about his theatrics and lack of humility that get old...he has the potential to be much better...im trying to think of any champion weightlifter that does what he does....im pretty sure abajiev would have never allowed this type of behavior in his training hall and the platform.......

[gheckert]

@bighungry34 Well I agree with you there. Huster would jump around like a mad man, but he was one of the top 2 lifters of his era. I am excited to see how Jon progresses though. I hope he breaks the American records and works towards world class lifts in the future.

[bighungry34]

@gheckert i am actually excited to see how the north , flemming rivalry goes....

[Schwarzalbenheimen]

@bighungry34 All you people hating on Jon because of his attitude are ridiculous. Does one have to hit world record numbers to be excited about a lift? Give me a break. Jon is a strong lifter (he's a national champion remember) and he has a good attitude. Why the hell should he be quiet in the weight room? Because he doesn't lift what you think he should to be louder? Get over yourself.

[HeangKoing]

@Schwarzalbenheimen haters going to hate...

[bighungry34]

@HeangKoing ....funny to hear you say this...as my coaches, who you and your english compatriots correspond with thru email talk about this behavior alot...it does nothing to add to your lifts..anyone here that has lifted around anyone who is lifter of any competance or achievement would laugh at this behavior. people call it hating, i call it growing up and showing some maturity..im pretty sure nicu vlad exhibited this type of behavior before his 84' gold medal

[HeangKoing]

@bighungry34 who are you and who is your coach? His after lift antics are funny plain and simple. He trains hard and is having fun with his lifting. I don't want to watch a robot lift, you can see that anytime. I want to see someone really having fun with their lifting and lifting big weights. I want to see someone with passion. I only speak for myself, not the rest of the English team. Why would they laugh?! He isn't killing any kittens...

[shiznick2]

@bighungry34 and i bet the only thing ur cleaning is ur moms toilet

[altrocksnp]

USA singlet: adds 10 kg to all lifts!

Awesome stuff jon!

[devonolympa]

Get sum! You guys look pretty good - great lifts. 

[daluke61]

Are the Pan Am Games going to be televised; anyone know???

-???

[TheGymChannel]

@daluke61 I believe ESPN deportes is responsible for covering the games...I'm hoping there is a live stream online, i guess we'll have to wait and see

[daluke61]

@TheGymChannel

Hopefully there will be some type coverage; ESPN, an online stream or whatever... let's hope!

Thanks

[tychver]

I liked the music haha. Who was responsible for the trance andtron legacy soundtrack?

[chadcite]

North, keep the enthusiasm, brings some entertainment to the sport, enjoy watching you lift.

[LHD4life]
