250kg - 551 pound Squat @ 90.8kg - RAW

[xChriz503]

what does RAW mean? i see it alot in squats and stuff,

[BROZKNOWS]

@xChriz503 no belt, knee wraps, squat suit, squat briefs, 47 spotters, hydraulic racks, etc.

[xChriz503]

@BROZKNOWS ah alright, thanks

[glomr]

I just noticed the weight lying pretty much on the neck tending forward in the lift, wouldn't he be able to 1RM more with a low bar squat?

[openaccessuser]

Doesn't he round his back a lot in this vid? Or is that 'expected' because he's hitting 1RM.

[BROZKNOWS]

@openaccessuser it's not that acceptable, however his flexibility is a major reason for him switching from O-Lifting to Powerlifting.

[PWDr93]

@BROZKNOWS whats the best way to improve lower body flexibility? 

[Snarfdmypants]

@BROZKNOWS Have you had problems with some of your athletes on ankle flexibility?  Does heavy calf stretching and calf work over time help?

[BROZKNOWS]

@Snarfdmypants stretching doesn't help, but catching heavy cleans and getting smashed on heavy squats seem to work good.

[MightyJoeBlack95]

He looks more like Byron Leftwich than Gary Coleman.

[MsVegasbabyyeah]

Is Jacobi still powerlifting at your gym? Or is life getting in the way of life again?

[BROZKNOWS]

@MsVegasbabyyeah MIA again. working doubles.

[ChocolatePoop1301]

Lol @ the Cross Fit shirt

[AlexRogers987]

what a fucking dumbass. who the hell lifts that much without a spotter?

[scarbo811]

@AlexRogers987 he can just dump it on the floor. lifting with just one spotter is worse than no spotter imo.

[MrRae101]

If he's a powerlifter why is he doing a high bar squat?

[Zlaterrr]

@MrRae101 Why not?

[asborisov1]

@MrRae101 UMM HE'S N0T A P0WERLIFTER Y0U FUCKING M0R0N.

[BROZKNOWS]

@asborisov1 actually we switched sports for him. He competed in an AAU powerlifting meet.

[MrRae101]

@mjhloveyou Yes.

[michaelzwarszawy]

hey if he's a powerlifter, what's his bench at Coach?

[BROZKNOWS]

@michaelzwarszawy right now it's only 180, but he had wrist surgery a few months ago

[desembodic]

over a 100lb gain in a year impressive

[mycenean]

John two questions;

-do you train Jacobi different from the other guys?

-does he low bar squat in comp?

thanks

[desembodic]

@mycenean he is high bar squatting here? 

[mycenean]

@desembodic yes, just wondering if he does low bar in training. I remember Dr Squat saying that he trained his squat by mostly doing the olympic squat and did low bar only at or close to competition

[madurham74]

John,

What is he doing for deadlift? 

[BROZKNOWS]

@madurham74 280

[madurham74]

@BROZKNOWS How often do you have him pull? Thanks, John.

[Pretending2Bsmart]

LOL at the guy with the crossfit shirt on...i'd rather go naked.

[madurham74]

Awesome as always. What is he doing as far as deadlift training?

[jonaswtf]

I love that you guys never bring a spotter. AVERAGE BROZ FTW

[anthraxale]

gary coleman is alive!!!!!!!

[swaaahtome]

what do ye do flexibility wise? it takes so much work to be able to squat to a decent depth...

[strongmanmarco]

fucking hell awesome strenght brah

[jon7179]

almost failed but he got it :) same thing happens to me sometimes

[PDXweightlifting]

love seeing these kids hard at work!

[A550RGY]

This gym brought Gary Coleman back to life and taught him to squat.

[portugaljoao777]

heee is sick strong but need better form in order to avoid any injury just like me

[thabest1995]

You guys never cease to amaze me... Damn his back almost curved too.

[8potta]

Nice job!

[xjusticex2013x]

John, is Jacobi a powerlifter?

[BROZKNOWS]

@xjusticex2013x yes. he will be competing early 2011

[nilllar]

max effort!

[nt4life]

god damn his back almost curled

[talder123]

mad strong!! how long has he been training?

[michaelzwarszawy]

huge squat for his age, and better depth than on his last squat videos, congrats!

[raiden824]

Jesus is there anybody at your gym who doesn't have a ridiculous squat ?

[Ooijer]

@raiden824 i wanna know that too dude i mean none of these guys is close to being average

[alexandertait]

This looks great. Could you explain how weightlifting managed to find the ideal weights for all the heights?

Also was Chakarov the best 92.5kg bodyweight squatter that was a weightlifter?

[jlinteris]

Brozgym, where the cyborgs come to train.

How many freaks is this gym going to produce?

[xNewAgeWarriorx]

Good job on the pr, your lower back is gonna hate you though. Keep the arch, big air.
