600 Squat x 5 reps ASS to GRASS- RAW!

[quepp42]

shit, how do you do that without hurting your knees

[thebigtortuga]

@quepp42 easy. because it doesn't hurt your knees.

[MrRoddz1]

that guy is supercharged

[iKrackeD]

what position does pat play in football?

[alehax27]

sounds like a machine.

[dp1569]

Personally this would destroy my knees. I'm not sayin its dangerous for everyone, but some people (like myself) have knees that are more susceptible to injury IMO. I think probably because I'm on the lankier side.

[420Vali]

@dp1569 For non advanced trainees thats true- but for someone as skilled and practiced as Pat he is able to load tension onto the legs, hips very quickly and do this safely. Its also practice for the clean.

[hardcoremtl420]

dont you get tired of buying new bars after each lift? :p

[sunited16]

Fuck, now i have to look for Hulk's comment

[Gillyfication]

BAD ASS!

[Jsavolainen]

[ThomasMichealMeyer]

[purexquisite]

No joke, sounded like a machine

[oysih]

@purexquisite He is a machine....

[Chrisjr1009]

Your not strong at all lol

[jmedno5891]

You sound like a some sort of beastly robot when you going up, great work man.

[ThleTruth]

dam....does that hurt? ur body must be in supreme condition to go down and up so fast....great muscle reaction...awesome job man...ur a beast

[xXJeReMiAhXx99]

@ThleTruth nah it dont hurt at all well i mean not at all in the bones etc of course it does in the muscles but this guy has super strong joints bones etc so no this dont hurt him at all and it's actually completely safe

[mikeblues1983]

Well done!!!!

;)

[Thororm]

Мощь!

Pat has got the best raw squat technique I've ever seen.

Thanks man.

[andrewTAZ30]

tank! everytime I watch this guy squat he moves so fast I feel like his knees are going to explode on the negative. Makes me scared just watching it. Such a bloody beast!

[AWSOMEGUY9]

Pat is a TANK

[Xmokko]

no joke squats right there.

[1crazyirish]

Beastly, goin deeper than ANYBODY!

[ETlittlemanbeast123]

Thats a squat.

[MrJuha82]

Crazy powers IMO

[airish571]

Christ, what fucking animal!!

[sandnigga2233]

Dude you do the shot put!

[jag123kid]

For those who can squat 600pounds x5 so easily, in all probability they know what they are doing. So the comments on how dangerous this is, needs to stop. I'm sure he knows what his stuff.

[magicapricot]

@jag123kid other than that, this guy qualified for the olympics so............

[muchacabesa]

@Hulk31483 Are you serious? Shaddup!

[alifak1]

he's really strong! I don't mean to troll or anything, but when I see how fast he get down, that could be dangerous x.x

[lukiboss07]

Impressive leg strength, What is your best bench press??

[RandomStevie]

@lukiboss07 Pat hates people that ask him what he bench presses.

[18psiWhiteMS3]

you sound like a machine, non the less you are a fucking best man, great work

[RetrOxNique]

BRO YOUR A FUCKING ANIMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rakoonloufa88]

turbo....psniiiiiiiinnnn fssiiiiiiiiin

[scottmescudijr]

this shit perfect form and everything

[julzzzzzzzzzzz]

he should train as a bodybuilder..... more fame and fortune... look at zyzz etc.!!

[MrRossboss2010]

great job how long you been training

[MyLonelyClub]

beast

[elitesniperface]

well done your a fucking beast, wish my knees would hold the strain

[thesku11s]

Do the strong guys at the gym all squat with normal OL weightlifting bars? They seem as limp as a noodle loaded to 300kg or thereabouts.

[RandomStevie]

@thesku11s That's what happens with normal OL bars. look at the bar oscillation on Rezazadeh's 263kg C&J. The bars bend pretty bad at 250.

[30sleepy10]

you guys are idiots, its just the sound of him exhaling!

[areyu93]

what is the clicking at the bottom? its in quite a few of his vids?

[Galuche1L1U]

You sound like a freaking machine, great lifts!

[MrDeydis]

forklift is broken.

[OnePunch89]

The borgs! The borgs are here!

[pacohr091]

no racks for sure, when he ook the bar he goes 2 steps back

[MetalMulisha7967]

i feel like such a bitch right now i can only squat 600lbs parallel. this guy can squat 600 pounds 5 times ass to grass. this is what i call good shit.

[eowdaoc]

maybe not though.  possible still hydraulic legs

[eowdaoc]

I will explain the noise he is making.  When he reaches bottom squat position he makes a "pooo" sound with his mouth when he starts exhaling (very slightly).

[smilsmff]

when you hear this sound RUN!!!

[tickyul]

Wow, that is insane, I wish I was half as strong.

[scot145]

cant get anymore raw than that. shit thats impressive

[lou2bozzy]

Crazy Impressive Form Right There !!

[kelgrael77]

That sound is definitely not him slamming onto a rack, or even tapping the rack. I'm tall, but I have to squat outside the rack because I can achieve pretty good depth. When I use a quarter of this weight, and it taps the rack, it makes a very fucking loud sound.

[DevlinEdora]

Incredible, man. Great job.

[Scurpione]

Why does everybody criticize?! Can YOU do THAT?

That's impressive, so much respect for you! :)

[ChurchOfIron]

Oh my god. HOW is this possible???

[dgwear69]

very impressive

[TheBusch98]

WoW

[texan31337]

hellll yeah . this is how it's done

[Hulk31483]

What you are hearing is that he is slamming the bar on the racks, if you look closely there are bars that his squat bar is landing on. I admire his strength but to me this very dangerous on the knees being he coming down very fast and slamming the bar on the rack. I would probably be more impressed if he did this without the supports being he needs them to slam the weight for a bounce to come back up!

[BROZKNOWS]

@Hulk31483 you might want to look "closer". There are no racks in the bottom position.

[Bookstop1337]

@BROZKNOWS

The sound is the guy in the video exhaling isn't it? It sounds like a clacking sound just because the mike on the camera is picking it up oddly, same as camera mikes do with wind sometimes.

[samjordangym]

@BROZKNOWS yeah wtf he walks right past through were theyd be?

[LennyKravitz101]

@BROZKNOWS Exactly, no bottom racks here. The sound is him releasing his breath at the bottom.

[hzlwdcntrlftbll]

@BROZKNOWS This guy doesnt know what sound people make when they let out a breath hahah

[afarris1125]

@Hulk31483 It's him breathing and exploding you dumb ass. How about you don't comment on this until you can squat anything around 500. Thank you and have a nice life =D

[SteveMiller88]

@Hulk31483 That sound is him breathing, the exhale.

[unitix]

@Hulk31483 youre a fucking idiot.

[Pretending2Bsmart]

@Hulk31483 You are an idiot.

[Okiijiida]

@Hulk31483 NOOB

[pisswizzard]

@Hulk31483 This is possibly the most ridiculous explanation I have heard to date on a lifting video. Congratulations :-P

That sound is him engaging Beast Mode to perform the lift......

[quillita]

@Hulk31483 only u would do some stupid shit like that

[tyrepikke]

@Hulk31483 then way dont you try bounce this weight up ?

[HanstheDestroyer215]

@Hulk31483 how the hell would he have been able to walk away then you dumbass, apparently he can walk thru bars acording to u

[powerlifterism1]

@Hulk31483 yeh seriously what are you looking at?

[megacaremad]

@Hulk31483 Sit down and shut up man. Broz is too nice to tell you this, but please just shut the fuck up.

[Atsaki13]

@Hulk31483 Thats the air coming out of his lips... Wow some people are so blind... If he was bouncing on a rack (If there was one there) It would make a much louder bang than that my friend.

[afterthefact17]

@Hulk31483 That slamming noise you are hearing is coming from his mouth buddy. As he inhales... holds his breath and then drives pushing through his exhale it causes pressure in the mouth, through the lips causing a popping noise. It's just a habit I'm assuming in his case.

[witerabit]

@Hulk31483 LOL that sound was the dude's breath escaping I think, funny shit though! *pwoooooong*

[BIueZombie]

@Hulk31483 hes breathing out which is making that puff noise



[isoprepable]

@Hulk31483 Wow your retarded

[therealmattdillon]

@Hulk31483 WHAT DO YOU SQUAT BUBBA

[MEELATEHGRIL]

@Hulk31483 Yea, you're stupid.

[Techtoniq1]

@Hulk31483 thats his mouth you dumbass :D

[jkas30]

@Hulk31483 you are very dumb

[prawlspsb1]

@Hulk31483 You're corny dude. Stop hating. 

[smats42]

@Hulk31483 you are a fucking asshole.  go play magic the gathering with the other virgins

[styykez]

@Hulk31483 dumbest comment i've ever read

[DeusUniversa10]

@Hulk31483 stupid ass, you shouldn't be driving with vision like that!

[nickss3]

@Hulk31483 The weights aren't even "bouncing".

[triggersprollie]

@Hulk31483 goddam ur an idiot,this is how monsters train

[giteausuperstar]

@Hulk31483 wow you really are quite stupid

[JaKeth3snake]

I need legs like those. Mine just won't grow!

[teencraft34]

Now that is impressive...no wonder no dislikes LOL...everyone too scared

[omgthisisgayaccept]

this shit is plain and simple unfuckinreal!

[mcgowan58]

thanks for making me feel weak as shit. haha.

[testiclecrusher2]

That's a lot of weight, but it seems like you're going down to fast.

[Wiegieboard]

@testiclecrusher2 LOL @ too fast. hahahaha

[MAVsince1991]

id turn gay for matt kroc, and pat mendez, period... knees of steel

[jordan19862000]

@MAVsince1991 To say that means you are gay

[gaeddstank]

maan! you can go far in competition! strong as an oxe!!

[Zlaterrr]

Do you squat as a first exercise or after cj or snatch session? Or maybe depending on the day sometimes before sometimes after?

[BROZKNOWS]

@Zlaterrr 90% is usually after the classic lifts.

[shadowsbode]

@BROZKNOWS I'm curious, what are the advantages/disadvantages of doing squats before/after the classic lifts or at the end of your workout? (nood)

[BROZKNOWS]

@shadowsbode to do more work.

[irdbmxbturgrlridesme]

@Zlaterrr hahaha snatch session

[DieFatorLiveThin]

now do 5x500lbs front squats go!

[BROZKNOWS]

@DieFatorLiveThin check our other videos. 

[skirts365]

What was that 1,220lb "squat" I saw on youtube? The form was terrible, depth like a teaspoon. There's a faction that should change their ways and squat like this 601 x 5. Form 1st, bigger bar 2nd, full range strength not partials. Also seen is absence of tight shorts that "help" to handle more weight. All hail the new Ken Patera!

[thesku11s]

They need to invent stronger bars for people like pat. The thing was wobbing around like rubber.

[fogonabomba2]

The sound is your knees ?

0:07

0:09

0:13

0:16

[BROZKNOWS]

@fogonabomba2 no.

[dirkofyork]

@BROZKNOWS

lmao "knees" people are so terrified of injuring themselves its pathetic

[LHSHarmon]

man what are you doing? idc how strong you are. no spot?

[BROZKNOWS]

@LHSHarmon nobody needs a spot with bumper plates. NO reason to try to protect the bar or floor. If you miss, you dump it. Using spotters takes a chance to hurt them if the weight falls on them and can hurt the lifter if everyone lifts it up unevenly. I have seen both, but have never seen someone get hurt from dumping the bar.

[olylifter69kg]

@LHSHarmon there is no such thing as spotting in the sport of olympic weightlifting, in powerlifting yes, but pat mendes isn't powerlifting

[iloveblumpkin]

no belt?

[RSixBoy]

@iloveblumpkin honestly my opinion and many others, belts give a false illusion. If your squat for is bad, the belt isnt gonna do squat(no pun intended lol)

[tempac91]

He sounds like a piston! Amazing strength!

[bfarve93]

This is amazing!!

[tempac91]

The weird sound come from his hydraulic legs.

[flashskate13]

@tempac91 lol burst in laughter after reading that

[MightyJoeBlack95]

@tempac91 Ahh. Now it makes sense. He really isn't human.

[runnerbaba]

soo strong, but if i was so strong my knees would pop out^^

[jmaths117]

really impressive and motivating. how much you weigh nowadays? 300?

[BROZKNOWS]

his weight varies now between 290-298.

[sniper6636]

sounds like a hoover on the way up lol

[esoj37]

@sniper6636

HAHAHA

[judotaffy]

Wow thats impressive. Do you do 5s and triples in training often, I thought you guys trained bulgarian style so mainly singles?

[BROZKNOWS]

we do mostly singles, dubs and trips - but occasionally we bust out a max rep set around 90% or so just to have little bets between us. Pat did 250x8 and I did 200x12 just goofing around

[atitkem]

WOW

[IvanDmitritch]

Damn... that was impressive!

[coolcruise]

wow dude

[ibtarnine]

impressive lifts but man, i hate seeing anybody drop down with that much weight outside of a cage or without any spotters

i'm sure you know what you're doing though, but still, be safe!

[BROZKNOWS]

If we miss an attempt, we just drop it. No need for spotters or cage. That's what the bumpers are made for. We have a penalty if you dump - you have to unload, re rack and reload by yourself so the next lifter squatting with you doesn't get tired cause you were slacking.

[paul418cj]

i am reluctant to give advice to someone whose lifts are higher than mine...however sr19 makes a good point...i used to squat exactly the same way..no sweats fast and bouncing...after about 4 years i developed severe tendonitis of the knees...it went away when i started wearing knee bands sweats and went down in a more controlled fashion..when you are young you never think you will have such problems...i only hope he will consider this advice from one who has been there

[IrishMarc1]

possibly new favourite youtube channel.

[Myself0101]

good enough for my coach good enough for me...

[iMagnusX]

dude at the end is right. badass!

[sr19]

i am in no way questioning you because you are a monster. but i cant help thinking that that looks really hard on your knees. im just asking, do you get any trouble in your knees? or does it strengthen them?

[BROZKNOWS]

NO trouble with knees, its the only way to squat!

[grambo22]

Are your lifters competing this year? I'd love to see some vids of competitions, crazy strength, I wish there was an oly gym/coach like you are doing there where I live.

[BROZKNOWS]

pat lifted at the Arnolds in March. there is a link under fav's of him lifting doing 160/195. He is lifitng in senior nats this weekend and the 3rd w/e of june the entire team is going to UT for the ut state games. should be a good time.

[martin1106]

Looks awesome great squatting!

[shilinskas]

Oh hell yeah..

[chirolifter]

Better get some more 25's...

[BROZKNOWS]

don't worry, we have pairs of 50's!

[sr19]

how long have you been training? i just cant believe your strength. insane.

[BROZKNOWS]

He's been training for 5 yrs. He did a 585 as a Jr in Highschool

[Mikeyburger3]

awesome!

[Myself0101]

now you need to make 380 with a 2 second pause, make taranenko proud! good job man keep it up!

[eigeoiegf45]

Wow man you made that look like 135 lbs, that is freaky strong, awesome!!
