  • hooollyyy SHHITT, look at those legs!!!! :OOO

  • Kirk's a legend.

    One of the all-time best squatters, period.

    I am leaving in a few minutes to compete in my third meet and have been watching squat videos for inspiration. No one who has not competed should speak a negative word about guys like Kirk, as athletes. I don't know the man, but certainly as a strength athlete he is utterly amazing.

    As far as the whole "rat" thing, unless you TRULY know the deal, don't spread unfounded rumours. It's not fair.

  • @TheTrueFortress agree bro.if u are a powerlifter i have a question for you

    1.u squat only parallell or atg sometimes

    2.how do u u se ur legs on bench press.u know they say like leg drive or sth but i cant figure out.would feel cool if u could answer thanks :)

  • @kwstas67

    I squat below parallel. Have done for 26 years, no problems.

    As far as legs in bench, just put force down through the floor under your feet, but don't raise your ass off the bench, that's all.

  • @TheTrueFortress thanks for your fast reply :)

    last questions

    i like to squat very close stance (shoulder width) atg with olympic shoes .however my forms perfect but my knees hurt a bit (not while squatting after that different times )maybe this close stance is bad or i shouldnt use olympic shoes?should i go wider?i feel very strong close -(i squat a bit like tom platz did but when i go wide i feel weak :(

    also when u bench press with dumbells how u create the arch needed?

  • FAT SLOB, RUSSIAN PIG!

  • what a fucking beast his quads are so big LOL!

  • Steroids aren't cheating in the open division because everyone uses them its part of the sport. Steroids are only cheating on the raw division.

  • is that a high or low bar squat?

  • @mrlatino187 Low bar. 

  • wowzuz....hes the man

  • I met Kirk in 05 or so.He was judging a meet in Fruitland MD I was lifting in. my little brother and I talked with him for many minutes between lifts and he was as nice and helpful as they come and even told me-You got some sticks (legs) on you. Coming from Capt. Kirk, that was the best compliment I ever had.

  • @tajsports10 Compliment on your legs by Captain Kirk Karwoski himself? Now that is epic!

  • The truth is high level lifters who use steroids work out much much harder than lifters who do not use.

  • roids

  • That squat was deep for it being 968lbs. He didn't half ass it and thats what makes him so good, he trains hard.

  • Legendary. The way he looks so focused before, and has that look of victory at the end is priceless.

  • why did he pump himself up like that when he squats like there's no weight on the bar?

  • 0:54 he just demolished that guy's hand lmao xD

  • How much weight is that, in Lbs.?

  • @daluke61 970 lbs

  • @KarlosPaco33

    Thanks, and... WOW!

  • Intense eyes.

  • how does this guy buy pants?

  • @maulstik Who needs pants?

  • @steroidsR4losers Keep spreading hate and lies man, and we'll keep being awesome, and banging your women.......

  • @tastefulphrasing And you'll continue to be a moron, an imbecile, a cretin, and an all-round asshole!

  • Way to function capt'n

  • My Idol

    

  • hes a BEAST!!!!!!

  • КРАСИВО!!!!

  • it looks like his legs are fucking huger than shit.  holy fuck balls

  • fucking monster wtf

  • thats some serious strength, no mono lift, actually parallel and relatively old gear. beast.

  • that is a STRONG dude.....look at him......holy lord..

  • so much more impressive when its walked out

  • True powerlifter

  • bad....... ass......

  • back in the good ole days when you actually had to go parallel on the squat

  • now thats a lifter

  • that was deep

  • I love his signature yell

  • wow! dude is a monster no lie

  • does anyone know his bench or deadlift?

  • @marineman410410 Do you mean from that competition or in general? I belive that he never registerd more than 770 something pound deadlifting in competition because of his crazy squats, I think I've read that he pulled 825 without straps. He benchpressed 600 without the kind of shirt that is used by powerlifters today.

  • @SgtBeefcake in general. wasn't this guy in afew strongman competitions?

  • @marineman410410 I don't know, if he was it must have been after he quit powerlifting.

  • the legend!

  • His legs are easily bigger than platz!

  • Kill urself DICK FACE!!!!!!!!!!

  • My man goes deep!!! Thats how you do it

  • @glocksandwiches118 he's not ur man lol

  • @glocksandwiches118 "my man goes deep" haha thats the gayest thing i'v ever heard

  • now thats the king of powerlifting not some quarter  squater

  • he probably eats my bodyweight everyday. what a monster. incredible.

  • what a massive legs :)

  • well ofc ... it's the world record..

  • When I look at Fred's 1014, has depth/form and SPEED. Looks like it was the first rep in a triple.

  • tree trunks

  • kirk ia a ass ed c is god

  • That may be so, but if Ed Coan is God, Kirk Karwoski is Jesus.

  • great comment

  • @Leeuwer XD

  • 36 to 39 seems to show vein standing out on his left temple---that's a health caution. Ten percent more weight than Kurlovich squatted. However, Kurlovich was butt to floor so yes I'm afraid did have stronger legs. KK's build does make NFL players appear puny.

  • i love the war cry before he squats. its as if he knows he's going to get it or die trying

  • fucking huge legs and serieus big weight!

  • huge fuckin legs

  • Fan-fucking-tastic. Awesome lift.

  • hell yeah, 90 degrees, only way to do a squat!

  • those r sum behemoth quads

  • biggest legs ive ever seen such a lifter

  • grymt

  • bitch respect someone who can tear u apart

    Capt Kirk is in my opinion the greatest squatter ever...

    Between him and Coan.

  • Now that's a squat! Doesn't look like a typical powerlifting squat, looks closer to a standard Olympic squat!

  • those legs are enormous!

    fucking beast of a man he is.

  • Amazing. This guy squats with weight like that and goes all the way down for a full squat. That's what you call a full squat with tremendous weight. Great respect for this man.

  • A true legand. Really deep squats, and makes it look easy. The guy is huge, legs like tree trunks! A lot of respect for him.

  • pause it at 0:46 and tell me how it wasnt deep

  • His legs are (H)umongous (U)ngodly (G)igantic and (E)normous!!!!

  • Where can I get this DVD?

  • Amazing. This guy squats with weight like that and goes all the way down for a full squat. That's what you call a full squat with tremendous weight. Great respect for this man.

  • I never knew it was possible for someones legs to get that fuckin huge!!!

  • Fucking awesome !!!!!!

  • His legs are HUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!

  • looks really easy for him

  • bnblazer i know sumo is a deadlift but nowadays powerlifters do a squat that resembles a sumo because their legs are so far apart.

  • This man is awesome. I have gotten the opportunity to work out with him and in three months, he taught me his technique on the bench and my max went up 50 pounds.

  • First time I`ve ever seen this guy..

    He by far the strongest deep squatter I have ever seen....Freakin Incredible...

  • What year was this?

  • Kirk Karwoski: The definition of a true squatter.

  • this guy is a monster. That is a real squat . Not the bullshit sumo crap they do now were you look like an anchor was shoved up your ass.

  • Sumo is a deadlift, not a squat.

  • That is the lowest Ive ever seen some one squat with 1000 lbs hardcore.

  • You could feed a small village in Burma for week with one of those thighs o.0 ... Captian Kirk sure had some big legs!

  • Captain Kirk is the man.

  • captain kirk for life

  • oh my god, his legs are ginormous

  • How much could he squat raw?

  • more than you

  • haha lolage

  • i would estimate about 390 kilos and to proper depth, amoung the ever greatest!!

  • No doubt.

  • Pretty close. He hit 826 while back raw in an AAU meet.

  • There's a vid of him hitting 800x5 in training.

  • Where at?

  • Google Kirk Karwoski Tribute, the 15minute one. It's around in the middle of the movie.

  • Kirk Karwowski is a fucking God. And I too aspire to have quads like that one day. Have a 34" waist, but have tree trunks so goddamn big that you have to buy size 44 pants! Now that right there is power!

  • Good point well made. Don't thumbs down this guy you stupid fucks

  • Just because you have small legs, doesn't mean you have hate on those that don't. Maybe we like taking an hour to find one pair of 40 inch waist,(when mine is 32) to fit our legs. Ever think of that?

  • You said it donnie mate. Im 35 waist 29 length at 200 pounds and finding a pair that fits is as rare as rocking horse turd

  • I always think it's funny when I see a guy at the mall with his arms bulging through his shirt, and then I look at his lower body and he's got no ass and a pair of chicken legs.

  • look at his legs. two giant oak trees :D

  • Kirk does have small hands, hence his relatively lower deadlift numbers. I met him at a powerlifting seminar last year and he commented on his "Barney Rubble" hands. Real nice guy, so freakin' strong.

  • You should get the facts straight. After Kirks "friends" were busted, Kirk went on to post his best toatal and squat while working out at MAC, including a 1000x2 Squat. Kirk is not a rat, maybe you should look at Scott Werner, Mr. 550 Bench at 165lb. He was definetely a liar and cheat and had to move to CA after ratting everybody. If you do not know the whole story you should not start rumors! I guess we will have to agree to disagree...

  • Kirk Karwoski totaled more than any other legit 275lb. lifter in IPF attire. You are a loser and you have no idea how much I totaled. Lets just say that when people are jealous they attack what threatens them! That is obviously myself and Kirk, have you ever been on a PL USA Top 20 or even 100 list like Kirk or myself. I do not even know you, but you talk like a F*#CKING A%#HOLE!

  • i was talkin about jimhalpert41785...stupid

  • blowhard

  • Kirk is a very smart person and did no more drugs than any other USAPL or IPF lifter. It sounds like another unhappy Mark Chaillet clone because despite Mark's massive drug use he could never out total the "GREAT CAPT. KIRK" Do not judge a person until you have walked in thier shoes!!!

  • NO problem all the dope Kirk Karwashy wanted to tak, BUT he was busted dealing and ratted on all his friends. A real shady character in real life. Sorry, he's a lowlife.

  • best range of motion, one of the greatest power lifters despite lack of brain power.

  • Copy that, big 10-4.

  • How do i get strength like him? Me want to be big and strong...I said my prayers, took my vitamins and even drinked milk, still nothing:(

  • You don't want to be as weak minded as Kirk Karwashky is. He was busted and told on all his friends. That's why he retired a loser.

  • just what is the story behing him, he just sort of disappeared.

  • Kirk Karwosky got busted for steroid dealing. Karwosky then ratted out his friends and had to disappear because everyone was looking for revenge on him. That's why he retired a loser.

  • when was that?

  • steroids don't add 400 lbs to a lift, training and time do. Steroids aren't that powerful... anyone who thinks this guys power is all steroids is a retard.

  • That is true. He would definitively been strong without the roids as well. But instead of squating 440 kg, me might have squatted 380 or something like that. That is still really really good squatting considering the fact that the gear wasn't that effective those days.

  • The fact is it's too bad Kirk Karwoski got busted for steroids and ratted out his suppliers then ran and hid so he wouldn't get his face beat to a pulp for his cowardice. Steroid cheater like the cheater Ed Coan, and a coward too.

  • Once again, another guy that spends too much time on youtube insulting the greats and not enough time under the bar...

    Anyone else ever notice that it's always the weak people that don't compete that blame everything on steroids and gear?

  • I must agree. Kirk Karwashy is the second worst drug cheater of all time to Ed Coan. It's no surprise he was busted and turned on his friends.

  • thay're strong and you're not. that's all that matters.

  • How would you know? I'm strong enough, especially for drug free. Karwashky is a lowlife. Turned on all his friends. That's why he had to disappear and retire early. Karwashky is a backstabbing lowlife that would turn on you in a second. Taking all the dope he wants is no problem but he's second rate.

  • yea yea yea...he squatted 1003 and you didn't. the end.

  • Karwaski is not a man. Your idea of what makes a real man is distorted. Kirk Karwoski has no integrity or honor to turn on his friends and his sport.

  • cry me a river.

  • zztoprapster you're obviously a sorry person yourself. You condone backstabbing friends, cheating, and turning on your sport. You too have no integrity or honor. You and Kirk Karwoski deserve each other.

  • like i said...boohoo

  • So sorry you are booo hooooing. Par for the course for a dishonorable person as yourself. Kirk Karwoski and you should get a room together.

  • how does your boyfriend feel about you taking time away from him?

  • good comeback...lol

  • You and Kirk Karwoski deserve each other.

  • why doesnt anyone say good lift man i would like to do that? its either steroids or gear or steroids or a belt or WHO CARES LIFT THE WEIGHT AND GET STRONGER! thats what its all about. It doesnt matter where you compete at ur still doing it!

  • absolutely. even if most of these downers had a limitless supply of gear they still wouldnt have the strength or mental fortitude to get to that level. He is a monster.

  • Because of his grip you ass, he wears single ply IPF legal equipment that protects more than helps, not trash like WPO and APF!

  • kirk is f-in unreal and i wouldnt give a shit if he murdered people to steal their legs muscles and surgically add them to his own let alone juice - he is not even human

  • lol one of his quads is bigger than the average adult waistline

  • Kirk is a bad bad man.

  • Come on, gear does add lots, BUT you still have to unrack and walkout 440kg, the gear doesn't help you do that. Same as benching, you still have to be able to handle the bigger weights. The CNS takes a beating too.

  • i have his video.

    He does 800 x 5 belt only and 800 x 1 no belt....so whoever made the statement about the gear is retarted. For the most part its true, but not for kirk or coan
