Hey Kelly...what is the amount of wieght jon is lifting in this vid...oh and I'm confused are those metal or rubbered weights...I'm a beginner so I wouldn't know...
however evidence shows tall people will tend to have more MAX strength than relative strength, but in jones case relative strength is tarnished by his height, for him to deadlift 2x BW it would be 410, for someone 150lb to deadlift 2x bodyweight its only 300....thats a 110lb difference of weight lifted for a 55lb difference in bodyweight...short people arent in fact stronger, it only looks that way to uneducated people like you who dont know what a sinclair or wilks formula is
the bench press with 715 and hes 5'9" (honourable mention going to kennely who is 6'1") and finally the deadlift at 1015 with magnusson at 6' (honourable mention going to konstantin konstantinovs at 275lb bw and 6'4" height deadlifting 939) ....to take that even further weightliftings snatch record of 216kg is held by krastev who is 6'1" and C&J record by taranenko who is also 6'1"....now sure all these guys are juiced, and weigh A LOT more than jones
In case anyone wants to know... this video was made in 2009 when Jon Jones started training with me. Before he started training with me, he had never lifted weights a day in his life. So given that this was the first time he ever did deads, he's not half bad. I do have another video of him in 2011 doing deads and is amazing! Perfect form!
@keltek04 That's a lie... Jon Jones wrestled in College and in high-school. He had to have lifted some sort of weights in collegiate wrestling... it's mandatory to do some type of weight training.
Lamar Gant is 5'1" and although i dont know his reach, im assuming its 6'+...now someone who is 5'1" with a reach of below 5' and legs equally as stubby, with a torso length making up the difference...it doesnt matter that they are short, because their levers are TERRIBLE for deadlifting...this example is simply down scaled with gant representing jones, only difference is how bad jones' deadlift is considering hes a ufc champ and DOES in fact have a mechanical advantage in this lift
@speedykthx you need to lay off the crack. being tall in general is a huge disadvantage for the DL cuz you have to move the weight so much farther and your muscles are naturally stretched and you have way less leverage. And chill the fuck out, he's doing no where near his max on DL here. Its an endurance/warmup thing dude....fuckkk. If lamar is so good at DLing (which he is) your saying he can do like 10x more weight if he was a foot taller?
@qyet121csx if lamar gant were to be a foot taller and had the SAME proportion he does, yes, he would deadlift more, he would also weigh more, and have more room for skeletal muscle....short guys lift more pound for pound than tall guys, but only because of diminishing returns...EVERY record in powerlifting is held by someone taller than average, in terms of raw lifting wilkerson has the raw record of 1000 and he is 5'11" (although the current state of powerlifting squats is stupid) mendy has
but a lot of the time the taller guys just have to stay within 50-75lbs of the shorter guys in their weight class and can overtake the defecit of being behind for 2 lifts with a crazy deadlift....this is why i prefer powerlifting over weightlifting (even though i do both) weightlifting the shorter guys have an advantage for both lifts and anyone over 6' (such as myself) pretty much has to be a super heavy weight to compete at higher levels
@baphomet58 You are a faggot calling a Professional Athlete who is champion of a combat sport a bitch? WTF? He is 6'4 so lowering the bar would strain his back more which would be suicidal to his career being that he is a primary wrestler and wrestling is a major aspect of his fighting style and skillset. You idiot.
@baphomet58 This is not competition you inbred retard. Again being that you are slow, he is 6'4 and his back needs to be in top shape being that he is a MMA fighter who relies greatly opn his wrestling. Wrestling requires one having a strong back and core which he has. At 6'4 it is easier to put more stress on the back especially when lowering a bar. That is why the plates are made to be drop like that unless you didnt know that either you idiot. N go call him a bitch to his face. You get crush
I take back my prior comment not the part about the songs but the other stuff haha as an adult I just feel that was a little harsh so I apologize to any one that was involved in that whole deal if somehow you would watch this video I'm a huge penn St fan but that is a dagger in the eye to all parties involved I hope dude gets the electric chair tommorrow
@214325326457 Probably he means weak as in can't lift much weights. And yes, athletes in combative sports generally can't lift big weights like bodybuilders.
Speedy.. dude your the idiot. How does being tall and lanky help with the deadlift. It's more range of motion but all the leverage points are the same. Your an asshole who obviously hasn't ever trained for mma. You don't want massive muscles that will slow you down.
@browe31 longer legs = better leg drive off the floor resulting in more speed and momentum towards the lockout, longer arms = less range of motion (think of it as a guy with shorter arms doing a pin pull), and you're right you DONT want big muscles slowing you down which is why you train lower reps (1-3) at high intensity towards a more efficient CNS....sooooooo ur dumb
@speedykthx your a moron. the longer your legs the farther you have to move the weight. LOL clearly you dont know shit about lifting weights. Ever wonder why the strongest lifters are all short with relatively short limbs? yeah...more leverage and less distance required to move the weight. God...seriously..the ignorance these days...
@qyet121csx longer legs = better leg drive off the floor which = more momentum on the bar to get it around your knees, which is the point in a deadlift where you are at your weakest because your leverages are their worse....point in case lamar gant (best pound for pound deadlifter the world has ever seen) kk (over 6' tall) and benedikt magnusson (also over 6' tall) who you calling ignorant? btw nice lifting videos on your channel....oh wait, you dont have any, gtfo off your couch
@qyet121csx to shut you up and show you JUST how ignorant YOU in fact are, search "lamar gant 672 at 132" and tell me after watching it just how bad long legs and long arms are for deadlifting, while watching keep it in mind he is the ONLY man to EVER deadlift 5x bodyweight....../your pathetic arguments
@qyet121csx the fact you dont even know who Lamar Gant is, along with KK and Benedikt Magnusson, AND that i have powerlifting videos on my channel (and you have none) should already show i know more about powerlifting than you do
@speedykthx You DO KNOW that having a lot of muscle does not correlate to muscular strength right? Why do you think power lifters can lift a lot more weight than body builders? Cuz being lanky/long dont mean shit dumbass. quit tryin to act like a wanna be lifter and fact check your shit. GG
@qyet121csx lol when did i say anything about his muscular size? im well aware CNS activation is more important for strength (hence why all my youtube videos are singles) short limbs and size = a better squat and bench press, long limbs (both legs and arms) and a thinner stomach = a better deadlift..in powerlifting theres a saying..."the meet aint over until the bar hits the floor" and thats because the guys with an anatomical advantage of short limbs will be in the lead going in to the deadlift
@qyet121csx you're saying short limbs are good for ALL aspects of lifting, im saying that (for the most part) is true, HOWEVER it isnt for the deadlift, where being lanky (long arms and long legs proportionally to the rest of your body) is an advantage, is Lamar Gant short? yes...but for his height he is EXTREMELY lanky, at the powerlifting weight class of either 198 or 220, jones would have a mechanical advantage over any of his competitors, and yet is pulling less than a lot of novice females
ur an idiot....2 red plates a side is MAX 245, 225 if its a company with red 45 pounders....the only "freak" thing about this is how someone with all the mechanical advantages you could ever ask for (lanky ass arms and legs) for the deadlift...who is also an mma champion by the looks of it maxes out with TOPS 315...ive seen novice female lifters pull more
You're wrong on many counts. He already is a heavyweight that cuts down a large amount of weight to get to 205. If he did have to have to ever worrry about making 205 weight limit he would easily weigh in at 240-250 for a heavy weight bout.
@ipv4 Actually for his fight against shogun he cut from 218 which means he is not even the biggest LHW let alone a big HW. You are a complete moron with no knowledge of mma... no offense.
@ipv4 no I think he said in one of the press conference with rampage that he is a ectomorph who has trouble gaining size, I think his natural weight is very close to 205lbs or just a bit more, but he is very tall.
I like how so many people without a degree in exercise science or a credible certification in strength and conditioning are stating their opinions about how Bones should be training. Ummmm who the fuck are you?
I really dont know why theres so many haters. He's the best fighter right now in what could probably be the deepest division in the UFC. The only thing i can see is that his reign as the champion hasn't been tested yet and there's a curse on the LHW crown, sooo very much like in Strikeforce... haha
Being able to lift 500 pounds doesn't make you a strong fighter. The man has freakish core and balance strength, it's a wrestler thing. Look at Dan Henderson, his arms and legs aren't huge, but both of these guys will throw you around like a child.
ya thats correct Dan Henderson has a rediculous high score on his core strength, not just from excersizes but with skill of how to whip the core around learned from wrestling.
Skinny legs keep your wait down. If Jones had bigger legs he would be a heavyweight. Bigger legs only make you heavier. Regardless what you internet nerds say Jones is the champ because he is a superior athlete. He kicked Shogun with every part of those skinny legs. What ever he is doing, he not not change for you bitches.
@bucvet1979, If Jon Jones defeated the Dark Lord Sauron, people would still look for reasons to hate him: Maybe because Sauron was injured and it was cocky of Jones to smile during the post fight interview.
@bucvet1979 No doubt! Look what he did to Rampage. There is already talk of him moving up to heavyweight. I guess they don't expect anyone in his weight class to give him much trouble.
@bucvet1979 Like a wait at the grocery store? waiting in traffic? the wait in line for a roller coaster? Did you mean the wait for a title shot? I never really thought about a short wait for a title shot having to do with skinny legs but now that you mention it...When Randy got yet another title shot against Tim Sylvia his wait was not long and he, like John Jones has very skinny legs. Anderson Silva is another great example of a guy with painfully skinny legs not having to wait for a title shot

Anderson Silva is another great example of a guy with painfully skinny legs not having to wait for a title shot
@bucvet1979 To further this point...Just finished training at Tristar and had the pleasure to watch Miguel Torres spar...He has skinny, skinny legs...But I've seen him drop three pro's with leg kicks in the last two weeks
@yeahthrowingdownroc He said wait. If Jon gets bigger legs he'll have to wait more. Makes sense? Also he said, "What ever he is doing, he not not change for you bitches.". Makes you think twice, huh?
@JohnLawrenceCobraKai i know that but he weighs over 205 probably around 225 before he cuts weight. And like i said its just my opinion. plus im sure he does a lot of other leg workouts anyway.
@blade83336 Dzolé mes avec la forme de C jambes il peut avoir une vitesse de frappe excellente .Et pour les personnes qui reçoivent ce coup , cela peut être très douloureux .
Everyone on here complaining about his size failed to notice he lifts about twice his bodyweight(I.E. about 450 pounds). He may not have all that puffy, disgusting looking vein popping bicep, but he doesn't have the beer gut look of professional body builders either... and he could run circles around most pro athletes in other sports, and hit harder than them as well.
@lex922 I typed that too fast, it was supposed to say 405. Most fighters can deadlift a 1 RM close to twice their natural bodyweight. I believe those red plates are 90 pound plates, so 180 on each side plus the bar(about 45 pounds) is 405.
@Kevzilla123 ur an idiot y r u tryn to act like you know what ur tlkn bout the red is 45 lbs n hes not deadlifting that much ive dl that much jr year hs
@beaverpleaser420 Then why are they thicker than 45s? I know 45's aren't that thick... and if I don't know what I'm talking about, why don't you try training for a professional fight, and then telling me how EASY it apparently is. And if you've ever lifted purely for numbers for a long time, you're lifting slow and your cardio sucks... so I REALLY don't know what I'm talking about eh? Ask any professional MMA fighter what optimum amount for dls are for functional strength. It's twice your bw.
@Kevzilla123 they are thicksr because they arnt made of steel they are made of sand and plastic so that the weights can b dropped on the floor without damage to the floor or the weights n yes im training to become a fighter but i gotta stop alot of bad habits first
@beaverpleaser420 ah, then he must be at the beginning of his camp, which is usually about medium weight and 5 or 6 reps on compound exercises like dls. And I used to train with several pro MMA fighters for smaller venues like Bellator and the RFC. They told me that if they lift too much then their cardio starts to suffer, and our conditioning coach noticed that the peak 1RM for functional strength tends to be around twice the bodyweight of the given individual.
@Kevzilla123 once again ur trying to act like u no what ur talking about look u lost all credibility when u said that its 90 lbs jus stfu already u dont kno shit
@beaverpleaser420 Looks like stupidity is never lacking anywhere. So I got the weight wrong, sorry I've never used rubber weights, big deal. I still know what the hell I'm talking about, considering I've trained with pro fighters, and gone through the same camps they have. Believe what you want, but don't talk about credibility if you can't even spell half of your words out... honestly I'm surprised you spelled that correctly...
@beaverpleaser420 We only use steel weights in the gym I train at, and don't use the exact same training methods. Not all fighters train exactly the same, generally it's a camp module in which each phase builds off the last, but everyone trains slightly differently, and I just happen to have never used weights that aren't steel... and to be honest I'm a bit on the skinny side and strong for my size...
@Kevzilla123 they are thicksr because they arnt made of steel they are made of sand and plastic so that the weights can b dropped on the floor without damage to the floor or the weights n yes im training to become a fighter but i gotta stop alot of bad habits first. n whens the last time u asked a pro mma fighter that
Some of you guys has misunderstood the Martial arts! You dont need to have huge leg muscles or even bicep muscles to be a fighter. If you look at a Muay thai fighter´s legs they are skinny and you will think that they are vulnerable as fuck. But the truth is that theyre legs/shin can fucking break a guy´s huge leg muscle.
Guys who says Jon is skinny and looks weak are uneducated people who spend theyre lives on internet playing gangster
@Jamesxbusiness muay thai fighters have huge legs u idiot learn ur shit n what is jones doing dead lifts for umm to get bigger legs u fuckn moron god dam its amazing how many retards think they know something
@beaverpleaser420 You motherfucking asshole, its not because you have to have huge legs to fuck someones other leg up its because of their shin that has been strengthen and harden. There are a bunch of muay thai fighters with the skinniest legs but i garantee and i swear on your motherfucking lowlife grave that they will ruin your leg. Look at Brandon vera does he have huge legs as you speak ?
@beaverpleaser420 Ur a joke son, Jones master muay thai and he is a socalled chicken leg fighter who fucked shogun up with kicks etc. Son go to ur mom and suck her nipples again, and afterwards stick your head up ur moms virginia :P and be ashamed of ur low visdom in life
joyfulvulture go fuck your mother again,you incest piece of shit,your father is your uncle,i rather be a low life nobody,than a fucking abomination like you.
all you people who bin calling him chicken,legs are just mad because them legs bin fucking up all yall faves,Shugon was diss jones too talking about,how much he is going to kick jones chicken legs,and he tried that shit and got countered with a fuck straight right allmust land him on is back,ofter that all that hicken leg and leg kick shit was out the window,he learn is lesson.
"just mad because them legs bin fucking up all yall faves"
"countered with a fuck straight right allmust land him on is back"
good job making sense there retard. good job showing you have the language skills of an 8 year old too. please explain to us why we should give a fuck about the opinion of a low life bum like you?
@johnnyu3 Technically, it's not lifting strength, it's muscle mass. He may be skinny, but his muscles are more dense than the bulk weight of a bodybuilder. He's still lifting about twice the amount he weighs, but he trains for functional strength and not bulk mass. There is a point where lifting too much screws with your functionality though, but there's a reason no pro fighter neglects strength training.
@thedubbystep he tried and got got fuck up with counter ofter counter,then all that leg kick shit was out the window,he learn is lesson i bet he will never fuck with jones legs again.
jones will be in trouble if rashad manages to take him down. all rashad needs is one punch. not discounting jones at all he is almost like an apex pred.

ur an idiot....2 red plates a side is MAX 245, 225 if its a company with red 45 pounders....the only "freak" thing about this is how someone with all the mechanical advantages you could ever ask for (lanky ass arms and legs) for the deadlift...who is also an mma champion by the looks of it maxes out with TOPS 315...ive seen novice female lifters pull more

@MrAntonyRicketts
You're wrong on many counts. He already is a heavyweight that cuts down a large amount of weight to get to 205. If he did have to have to ever worrry about making 205 weight limit he would easily weigh in at 240-250 for a heavy weight bout.

@ipv4 Actually for his fight against shogun he cut from 218 which means he is not even the biggest LHW let alone a big HW. You are a complete moron with no knowledge of mma... no offense.

@ipv4 no I think he said in one of the press conference with rampage that he is a ectomorph who has trouble gaining size, I think his natural weight is very close to 205lbs or just a bit more, but he is very tall.

Being able to lift 500 pounds doesn't make you a strong fighter. The man has freakish core and balance strength, it's a wrestler thing. Look at Dan Henderson, his arms and legs aren't huge, but both of these guys will throw you around like a child.

@joemcbobinite
what do you mean with just "power"?
"Myofibrillar hypertrophy" refers to dense strong muscle tissue (results genuine strength but not necessarily huge looking muscles)
"Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy" is big soft bloated muscle tissue, looks great, but isn't really representative of core strength

Skinny legs keep your wait down. If Jones had bigger legs he would be a heavyweight. Bigger legs only make you heavier. Regardless what you internet nerds say Jones is the champ because he is a superior athlete. He kicked Shogun with every part of those skinny legs. What ever he is doing, he not not change for you bitches.

@bucvet1979, If Jon Jones defeated the Dark Lord Sauron, people would still look for reasons to hate him: Maybe because Sauron was injured and it was cocky of Jones to smile during the post fight interview.

Big legs don't "only make you heavy". Big legs are the basis for a true hard punch, although obviously Jones is doing fine with small legs.

@bucvet1979 Like a wait at the grocery store? waiting in traffic? the wait in line for a roller coaster? Did you mean the wait for a title shot? I never really thought about a short wait for a title shot having to do with skinny legs but now that you mention it...When Randy got yet another title shot against Tim Sylvia his wait was not long and he, like John Jones has very skinny legs. Anderson Silva is another great example of a guy with painfully skinny legs not having to wait for a title shot

calos619213 8 months ago
Everyone on here complaining about his size failed to notice he lifts about twice his bodyweight(I.E. about 450 pounds). He may not have all that puffy, disgusting looking vein popping bicep, but he doesn't have the beer gut look of professional body builders either... and he could run circles around most pro athletes in other sports, and hit harder than them as well.
Kevzilla123 8 months ago
@Kevzilla123 where are you getting 450 pounds from?
lex922 8 months ago
@lex922 I typed that too fast, it was supposed to say 405. Most fighters can deadlift a 1 RM close to twice their natural bodyweight. I believe those red plates are 90 pound plates, so 180 on each side plus the bar(about 45 pounds) is 405.

beaverpleaser420 8 months ago
@beaverpleaser420 Then why are they thicker than 45s? I know 45's aren't that thick... and if I don't know what I'm talking about, why don't you try training for a professional fight, and then telling me how EASY it apparently is. And if you've ever lifted purely for numbers for a long time, you're lifting slow and your cardio sucks... so I REALLY don't know what I'm talking about eh? Ask any professional MMA fighter what optimum amount for dls are for functional strength. It's twice your bw.
Kevzilla123 8 months ago
@Kevzilla123 they are thicksr because they arnt made of steel they are made of sand and plastic so that the weights can b dropped on the floor without damage to the floor or the weights n yes im training to become a fighter but i gotta stop alot of bad habits first
beaverpleaser420 8 months ago
@beaverpleaser420 ah, then he must be at the beginning of his camp, which is usually about medium weight and 5 or 6 reps on compound exercises like dls. And I used to train with several pro MMA fighters for smaller venues like Bellator and the RFC. They told me that if they lift too much then their cardio starts to suffer, and our conditioning coach noticed that the peak 1RM for functional strength tends to be around twice the bodyweight of the given individual.

@beaverpleaser420 Looks like stupidity is never lacking anywhere. So I got the weight wrong, sorry I've never used rubber weights, big deal. I still know what the hell I'm talking about, considering I've trained with pro fighters, and gone through the same camps they have. Believe what you want, but don't talk about credibility if you can't even spell half of your words out... honestly I'm surprised you spelled that correctly...

beaverpleaser420 8 months ago
@beaverpleaser420 We only use steel weights in the gym I train at, and don't use the exact same training methods. Not all fighters train exactly the same, generally it's a camp module in which each phase builds off the last, but everyone trains slightly differently, and I just happen to have never used weights that aren't steel... and to be honest I'm a bit on the skinny side and strong for my size...

Some of you guys has misunderstood the Martial arts! You dont need to have huge leg muscles or even bicep muscles to be a fighter. If you look at a Muay thai fighter´s legs they are skinny and you will think that they are vulnerable as fuck. But the truth is that theyre legs/shin can fucking break a guy´s huge leg muscle.
Guys who says Jon is skinny and looks weak are uneducated people who spend theyre lives on internet playing gangster

johnnyu3 10 months ago
@johnnyu3 Technically, it's not lifting strength, it's muscle mass. He may be skinny, but his muscles are more dense than the bulk weight of a bodybuilder. He's still lifting about twice the amount he weighs, but he trains for functional strength and not bulk mass. There is a point where lifting too much screws with your functionality though, but there's a reason no pro fighter neglects strength training.
