the thing i love the most about this video is how silent it is. everyone thinks that all powerlifters scream and shit. he broke the world record without making a sound. take that planet fitness.
This is like Monster Trucks, or professional wrestling: it's not exactly fake or cheating but it isn't pure either. Like tomlennon1000 said 'take it for what it is'. Personally I don't get the use of all the gear but there are lots of other 'strength competitions (Olympic, WSM, Scottish, etc) that have their eccentricities but are much closer to being 'pure' or 'raw' tests of strength and TECHNIQUE than American powerlifting. It is what it is. If you don't like it: go elsewhere.
His wearing a harness which helps him for sure its still an unreal lift but I want to see him lift it without that yoke around his mid section,hands are fine.
Soon they will be wearing half dozen super suits, have twenty spotters clustered around, a crane to load the weight on their back and be required to lower and raise the bar a FULL FRIGGIN INCH. A squat this is not.
@MrJervilla He squatted 900 RAW. AND FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME NO ONE CARES ABOUT ATG EXCEPT IGNORANT AND SELF-RIGHTEOUS OLYMPIC LIFTERS. One more thing...no more than a few people in the entire world could put on the same gear and squat Over 1200. Doesn't just happen. It takes work.
@pullen6091 im not saying anyone could. The point is that it adds a lot to his weight. And dumb shit a lot more than Olympic lifters do ATG. u probablly couldnt even squat 225 with it
@MrJervilla I think I could seeing as how I've squatted 752x3 in single ply and 613 raw...but idk...probably not. I'm just a sad little weakling who can't squat ATG :(. I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now.
@killoaz100 It helps him grip the bar more tightly. Perhaps squatting weights as heavy as this it matters, but I think for most lifters it's just a mental additive.
WOW! that's all I can say to this. I'm a crossfitter and was a little wary when I saw this (of course I have the mindset of "must have good depth") but wow. this guy had very good depth, and 1300 pounds is a TON of weight. I weigh 180 lbs and 1RM Squat 405 lbs, and am in very good shape and think that for me personally Crossfit is the best program. However, my hat is off to this guy and good powerlifters in general. Each program is specifically aimed for different athletes, and this is SICK!
Leonid Taranenko claimed an 838 pound squat, which is only 64.4% as much as 1300. Seems like this one, if he's 462 pounds stronger in squat than Leonid was, should be able to do Leonid's 586 clean and jerk without good technique, just on the (alleged) brute force difference. But no way can he do it, or he already would have, because his legs aren't as strong. Playing with numbers is going on. Differences in form = real strength differences, Leonid went ass to floor and paused there.
How tall is this guy? The range of motion seems to be like eight inches or so. I'm sure at that much weight, that is still absurdly difficult, but I guess it just seems less impressive, especially when the suit does so much work.
All the weaklings criticizing this video would die of exhaustion just from putting all that weight on the barbell. Go make something of yourself and contribute to the wealth of awesomeness rather than be a little bitch at the computer your parents bought you.
It's hilarious and sad to see all the guys on here criticising him, he is an amazing athlete and the mere fact he is not crumpled like paper under that weight is impressive. I bet all the haters are little hardgainer wannabees who have struggled attempting to reach 315lb squat for years and read so many articles they think they are gurus.
nah, I cant squat 315, but I can swim 2 miles, then bike 250 miles, then run for 26 miles all without taking any breaks.........and I can even wipe my own ass without any help.
@tradernorton05 Why would I need to wipe my own ass when I can get a little triathlon boy to do it for me? oh and have fun with the right ventricle damage from that extreme endurance training.
OMFG!!! Very strong man. Unbelievable total body strength. But, as far as a legal squat, not so good. Mile high, no lock out. I would be more impressed if he did 800 lbs under control and to legal depth. But that is just me, a hater.....
i aint saying the dude aint strong, but it takes away from the weight of the squat when uou have the reverse bands on it...its still cool to see that much raw weight being moved, but it wasnt a true squat if the reverse bands are used.
@drummerdork4500 dude, thats so stupid to say that wasn't a true squat. Those green bands take off like 130-150lbs at the bottom. It's a training technique to get his CNS used to even holding the 1300 on his back, and help him to come out of the hole faster. Thats why its called a progression. It's still a damn squat. He wasn't at a meet trying to break a record. It's called training. Try it sometime.
@thedude2979 jezz chill at yes, he strong as fuck definatley one of the strongest mother fuckers out there, but its not a PR or anything is all drummerdork is saying
@fr3shascanb3 Right there proves your motives for lifting: other people. You lift to impress girls. This MAN obviously lifts for himself, and no one else. Have fun living your life for everyone else.
@JobforaQuinnBoy1 thats actually not true i do lift for myself. i just dont want to ever be this fat..ofcourse this guy is strong as fuck but i still want to have an impressive physique. how the fuck is that living for everyone else? save your dumbass comments for somewhere else
Let's recap: you lift to have an impressive physique. This impressive physique is told to you by other people. Other people tell you this after having thoughts about your physique. I'm not sure if you're aware of the transitive property, but it means you lift to appease other people.
@fr3shascanb3 Not to mention, if you don't care about strength, why would you come to this video? I compete in powerlifting, not bodybuilding. Hence why I am at this video. You won't see a single comment of mine on a bodybuilding video, because I don't care what they do. I don't go there and disrespect all the hard work they put in because it's not the type of fitness I'm into.
@fr3shascanb3 Obviously not. Go look at all the world record holders. All with the except of Kroc are very thick, undefined men who are still in great shape. These men don't have time to worry about how their six pack, forearms and biceps look at the kegger on Saturday because they're too busy training. You work out, they train. They train because they have goals beyond looking cool.
@JobforaQuinnBoy1 .....coming from a guy who likes selena gomez videos. lol just shut the fuck up already you're taking my original comment way out of context. i'm more of a powerlifting fan than bodybuilding, but i think its more impressive when powerlifters are massive and still have low bodyfat numbers. thats all im trying to say. this guy is an absolute monster and i have tons of respect for...and actually i could give a fuck less about my forearms and biceps at a kegger, i dont even drink
@fr3shascanb3 If you're referring to the troll video, I'm not ashamed to like that. It's hilarious. Impressive? Sure. Practical? No. Go look at the world record holders, how many of them have single digit fat percentages? Do you not see that it's not a coincidence? I'm taking your comment out of context? What does lifting have to do with girls? Nothing, unless you lift to get girls. My point is proven, you have been proven wrong.
You guys are real morons if you think he's fat. Sure he has a little more body fat than the average powerlifter, but do you have any idea how strong and thick a person's core has to be to support 1300lbs, or even a thousand? I've actually helped him stretch during a meet before squatting. He has so much muscle, it took like 30 minutes. His core isn't fat, it's like a fucking brick wall. Don't hate just to hate. Try squatting 3 1/2 to 4 times your bodyweight, then talk your shit
@GeerboxHD Actually I do know him, he has also shown me personally several very helpful mobility movements each time he came to my gym in myrtle beach. One of those times was at the meet at the NMB aquatic fitness center on april 9, 2011, where he squatted his world record 1260. But hey, thanks for your input
@thedude2979 FUNNY BUBS! I know for a fact (opposite of modern day fiction) that Donny boy does not go to your gym (jim) in myrtle stations {just north of brooklyn if I'm not mistaken} Donny boy lives in CANADA! not AMERICA! CIAO YOU"RE CRAZY
@GeerboxHD You're funny dude. Its Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, dumbass. And he lives in Columbia, South Carolina. And no, he doesn't "go there." He makes appearances and he did the meet there when he, I'll say it again, squatted his world record 1260 on april 9, 2011. He doesn't live in Canada you fucking idiot. You just made yourself sound like the biggest fuckin jackass. You definitely don't know shit about him. And who the fuck says ciao? Canada...you're a joke, dude. Hahaha!
@thedude2979 ..... with a monolift, a belt, a squat suit, and and shallow depth. without all that victor naylekin would take a dump right on his fat head. if it aint raw, gtfo.
@jkcskater90 Never said he was the best in the world. There's always gonna be someone in a different country who's better for a different reason. However, in the US only a handful of guys compare. Dave Hoff is half Donnie's age and is actually only a few pounds under his total and on his way to crushing it. People hold these records for only a short time. There's really no point in arguing who's better.
@jerjameswoj Right. These kids have no idea that this is serious muscle underneath a normal layer of body fat. If Donnie did a stupid bodybuilder diet strictly for a couple weeks, you would see one of the sickest 8 or 10 packs in the world. But having a 30 inch waist with a beach 6 pack is only for looks and completely weak, and is only cool when you're a kid. The thick core comes from regularly lifting heavy weight. A person can be thin and look like a manchild, or be strong with a thick core.
@thedude2979 i think you are a moron if you DONT think he's fat lol. just look at the guy he looks like humpty dumpty. ofcourse he has tons of muscle, but also a ton of fat is there. hes a a beast tho
@thedude2979 and many many many more that i didnt name. there are so many people out there who dont look sloppy fat who can put up extremely impressive lifts. more than your fatass can even fathom
@krb0123 Dude, did you not read my first statement where I said "he has more body fat than the average powerlifter?" Maybe you need to re-read that. I never said that he doesn't have a lot of fat. So why even start an argument?? And no, I don't have any idea who the fuck you are. Stop saying that like you're someone of interest. You have no idea who the fuck I am and you insulted me too. This is getting really gay and stupid. He's stronger than you and I will ever be. Bullshit session is over.
@thedude2979 go read the comments i sent you none of them were insulting towards you..insulting ppl on youtube is for insecure douche bags who need to make themselves feel better
I've been away from the sport for a while. Most of these monster lifts appear to be gym lifts, not competition. What has Donnie Thompson squatted in competition? I'm still trying to find the actual world superheavyweight bench press record lift on You Tube. Not a gym lift but a competition lift. This squat is as impressive as burning hell down! He squatted LOW! This dude has the world's strongest legs. Damn.
@juarjuarjuarjuar PLs get fat because it gives them a larger base to work from. A man with a small six-pack can never squat double bodyweight, his body will simply collapse due to lack of support.
@juarjuarjuarjuar they need to consume a huge amount of calories to maintain their muscles and repair damaged tissues from such heavy lifting... if they ate a lot less they would lose energy/power eventually
what the hell kind of suit is that,there is no way that is a $38 Inzer Z-Suit,and how long are those wraps.He dosent even walk it out,he didnt go deep and he never locks it out,,nothing but smoke and mirrors,I know Don is strong and im sure he could squat a good 900 - 1000 but that 1300 was a joke,why do some guys do these hack lifts just to make a fool of themselves...
Would be nice if all the crossfit pansies would stay out of the powerlifting comments. Yeah we get it that you don't "approve" of the gear, depth and so on. Problem?!
...and on that day his magic suspenders gave him an extra 500 lbs to his lift...wanna see it raw.

You just made yourself sound like the biggest fuckin jackass. You definitely don't know shit about him. And who the fuck says ciao? Canada...you're a joke, dude. Hahaha!

@jkcskater90 Never said he was the best in the world. There's always gonna be someone in a different country who's better for a different reason. However, in the US only a handful of guys compare. Dave Hoff is half Donnie's age and is actually only a few pounds under his total and on his way to crushing it. People hold these records for only a short time. There's really no point in arguing who's better.

@thedude2979 Not even worth wasting your time. If these kids cant appreciate a 1300lb squat there is something wrong with them not Donnie.

@thedude2979 I completely agree. "Regular" people in society think if you don't have 6 pack abs and weigh 150lbs then you're "fat".
jerjameswoj 2 weeks ago
@jerjameswoj Right. These kids have no idea that this is serious muscle underneath a normal layer of body fat. If Donnie did a stupid bodybuilder diet strictly for a couple weeks, you would see one of the sickest 8 or 10 packs in the world. But having a 30 inch waist with a beach 6 pack is only for looks and completely weak, and is only cool when you're a kid. The thick core comes from regularly lifting heavy weight. A person can be thin and look like a manchild, or be strong with a thick core.

@krb0123 Dude, did you not read my first statement where I said "he has more body fat than the average powerlifter?" Maybe you need to re-read that. I never said that he doesn't have a lot of fat. So why even start an argument?? And no, I don't have any idea who the fuck you are. Stop saying that like you're someone of interest. You have no idea who the fuck I am and you insulted me too. This is getting really gay and stupid. He's stronger than you and I will ever be. Bullshit session is over.

I've been away from the sport for a while. Most of these monster lifts appear to be gym lifts, not competition. What has Donnie Thompson squatted in competition? I'm still trying to find the actual world superheavyweight bench press record lift on You Tube. Not a gym lift but a competition lift. This squat is as impressive as burning hell down! He squatted LOW! This dude has the world's strongest legs. Damn.

@juarjuarjuarjuar PLs get fat because it gives them a larger base to work from. A man with a small six-pack can never squat double bodyweight, his body will simply collapse due to lack of support.

powerlifters are fat because they dont care, there are some that aren't fat and get great numbers like Matt kroc

@juarjuarjuarjuar they need to consume a huge amount of calories to maintain their muscles and repair damaged tissues from such heavy lifting... if they ate a lot less they would lose energy/power eventually

what the hell kind of suit is that,there is no way that is a $38 Inzer Z-Suit,and how long are those wraps.He dosent even walk it out,he didnt go deep and he never locks it out,,nothing but smoke and mirrors,I know Don is strong and im sure he could squat a good 900 - 1000 but that 1300 was a joke,why do some guys do these hack lifts just to make a fool of themselves...
