[USA4July1776]

That's where it happens: 2:26

[willienhelgeson1013]

splendid

[EmotionalShredd]

holy shit, that black dude at the beginning nearly ruined his shoulder

[COOPZILON]

2:26

[MegaBazboy]

has Pat been injured? cus i was sure that i have seen him lift more in some of his videos a couple of years ago

[UFO112233]

0:57 A wild snorlax appeared!

[heavysurf858]

embarrassingly pathetic medical response

[Wipu4ij]

technique is awful in every lift. that is why americans lift so little. invite some trainers from former Soviet Union and you'll see results growing.

[nandoanalog]

Accident at 2:25

[TheTyler456123]

ouch

[BrysonSao101]

aaaand the burnt marshmellow wins it!:)

[Snipernoa1]

skip to 2:20 ...

Your welcome

[n0ob7]

really... one dislike? what a douche

[seriousstrength]

People applaud this?

[crazylazystacy]

sooooo..... did kendrick get a good lift?? lol jk

[superPENUT101]

Nice job

[spankaveli]

I think I've seen Kendrick work in person before. Does he train in/near Baton Rouge?

[BROZKNOWS]

@spankaveli Trains at LSUS. about 250 mi away.

[lkman4]

its kinda funny I'm not going to lie

[cshslacrosse7]

I go to school with Kendrick, and train in the same weight room as him and everything. Real solid guy, everybody only has awesome things to say about him... really bummed at that missed lockout here, but look out for him in the future... he is ONLY getting better.

[RandomStevie]

I'm not a split jerk expert, (infact I'm a +105 doing a power jerk) but if you pause at 2:12 you can see that Kendrick locks out at about parallel, and I believe that the extra ATG squat is useless and is the reason that he keeps missing all of these lifts.

[LayEmOut60]

@RandomStevie I think the extra depth helps to give some cushion when catching the weight. Lu Xiaojun and Zhang Guozheng both did it too. I think it just depends on whether you're comfortable doing heavier weights with an OH squat than you can power jerk.

I'm not an expert either by any means, but that's what I've gathered.

[Tannz0rz]

2:30

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--Oh... my... god...

[supertoan1234]

why is he not doing split jerk.

[blastodermx4]

those are 25 plates each lol?

[eowdaoc]

"ohhh my looord" LOL

[hesterprynneisftw]

Lmao @ rosie o donald in the background

[DeusUniversa10]

Seems like to be, that eliminating fear is a huge part in getting the lift

[rawnie79]

Heroic effort at 2:20, holy crap. that guy wants it bad.

[czoraa21]

cant complain that was some real dedication right there way to go guys, thumbs up!

[musicmonster107]

did the black guy faint?

[sifumg]

how many lbs?????

[axelerat3d]

some slow reactions by bystanders...

[mikeeyooo]

OHHH MY GOD - WHITE CHICKS

[RedSoxFan132100]

@mikeeyooo haha yup

[1XristosOmegas1]

2:31 Oh my God!!



[princeofroyalty2]

Notice: how it took forever for the white men, to come to a black mans aid. lol

[frogman92981]

@princeofroyalty2 fucking gay dude take your racist shit somewhere else

[fattymcbennie]

much props to these powerful dudes

[jonaswtf]

I love Pats sounds. "Mwuuh!! ...pwooaah!"

[frogman92981]

@jonaswtf pat will be world record holder one day

[MsEmma199]

Accident is @2:30

[youngb715]

@BROZKNOWS o really o man im so glad to hear that cus i thought u were tellin the other guy pat mendes failed the drug test

[lightningshock12]

if that was anybodyelse lifting that weight they would have gave up and dropped it but kendrick farris is a warrior he fought to the very end. that dude is a fucking SPARTNAN. that failed attempt made me give this dude my utmost respect and it makes me want to train hardcore!!!

[NorwegianZin]

Haha, kendrick is nuts! damn impressive, sooo close!

[youngb715]

im 16 n a powerlifter n before reading brozknows comment back to beany i thought this guy was natural but i guess not =/

[BROZKNOWS]

@youngb715 which guy? there was testing done at the meet.

[MyOsmans]

wow that black guy almost killed him self hehe!

[niueanskier]

Coach did Pat ever compete at junior worlds?

[MightyJoeBlack95]

@BROZKNOWS Why would one use a squat jerk over split jerk and also, why would one use a push press type jerk over a split jerk?

[fyckthissht]

why not split? why do a push press like that, since it's way harder?

[CelticAndProud]

Wow. Kendrick is a god damn warrior.

[9UnReaL0Dreams4]

@CelticAndProud he missed like 4 lift....



[ArmoredCore94]

do you really have to do an OH squat so deep? i do a similar jerk but even tho my max isnt that heavy i still dont go that low. is it because you get the bounce out of the bottom?

[teddydansondanson]

who won in pat's division? 

[fakeandgay69]

did the lift count? he appeared to have it locked out

[BROZKNOWS]

@fakeandgay69 no. 

[countrylifterdw]

Look all you split jerk experts, Kendrick does more weight with the squat jerk than any of you can deadlift. Plus he did learn the split jerk he was just much better at splot , the split squat. Plus he is the number one weightlifter in the US, not "the black guy."

[ironmikexx]

@countrylifterdw

Actually he doesn't jerk more than any of us deadlift. Some of us deadlift 700lbs, although his lifts are still impressive as hell, much more than I can clean and jerk! Nice work guys!

[gavlaaaa91]

SO CLOSE

[alehax27]

It's freaking scary watching the weight fall back.

[epiclulz0rz]

shoulda did a split jerk

[BearInstinctzz]

Why does it take 20 seconds for people just to walk to him after he goes down...

[wakiptw12389]

black falling unconscious was fucking hilarious.

[Rockification09]

WOW! That was COOL!

[scott053]

we you tubers should start a fund to back pats training !

[Draykid]

@scott053

...uh, really?

[danielgusev]

Was the black dude alright?

[Sondreking]

That black dude, TALK about giving everything!

[08wallic]

Does pats jerk technique enable one to handle more weight?

[warpvirus]

"well go see if his alright" yankkeee voice lol

[mmmcr00]

ahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaahha. (sorry, it was kinda funny..)

[Shadowmx88]

damn my face was pale after that!

[man10941]

Man Kendrick is such a beast. If he'd only learn to split jerk...

[tubermann1]

hey Broz, did Pat miss the USADA testing? He isn't on the list I saw

[BROZKNOWS]

@tubermann1 He is on the list, got tested there. Results came back neg. He was tested 2x since, including when he was at the OTC last month.

[beany11111]

@BROZKNOWS I thought that there wasn't any testing done at the arnold? From what i've heard it's the only meet pat will lift at since he can avoid the tests. That's just what i heard at the 2011 Collegiates at LSUS just last weekend.

[BROZKNOWS]

@beany11111 there WAS testing done at the Arnold's, just not in every session. Usada only tested pat's session because it was used for a Pan-am/ world's qualifier. Avoid tests? He spent 2 weeks at the OTC and they tested him there, and came to our gym 3x to test him. 

[1989eob]

@tubermann1 y does every one say pat is on gear? just train ur ass off ppl

[ilnn408]

good juju to pat so that he heals fast

[poxy84]

"OHHH MYY GOD" -stupid bitch

[tooloocrew]

Damn, Pat could easily squat jerk. Looks like he had alot of fun.

[michaelzwarszawy]

who is the brown guy in the blue suit? he looked like the best competition for Pat.

[JacktheDaniels]

@superjeff299

There are two three-time Olympic gold medalists who use the power jerk (Pyrros Dimas - 85kg and Akakios Kakiasvilis - 94kg),

and there's another gold medalist from China who does the squat jerk (Zhang Gouzheng - 69kg), as well as another Chinese lifter who set world records in the snatch and total at the 2010 worlds (Lu Xiaojun - 77kg.).

That's off the top of my head.

[burninfetus88]

well at least they hurried to the guy haha

[gymmoser]

Awesome job guys! I have been around this sport a long time. At this level the margin of error is very small. I can tell you had Pat made that 182 the outcome would have been very different. Success in sport is about building on successes and momentum.

Farris, what a incredible performance. He showed what they mean by leaving your heart on the platform. One of the gutsiest performances I have seen in a long while. This kid has a passion for big weights.

I have a strong feeling at the Nation

[gymmoser]

I have strong feeling at the Nationals these guys will be putting big weights in the air and this time they will stay up!

Thank you Coach Broz for putting this up. Great job.

[BuffStafford]

what was the prize money for top 3 standings?

[IJIT11809]

Farris was okay

[anthraxale]

hi coach, why pat in training snatch 200 e clean 240 and in this competion "only" 175-207? he is injured?

[BROZKNOWS]

@anthraxale yes. Only went to try to win some $

[MultiTrollHunter]

@superjeff299 you've never seen pyrros Dimas? I suggest you learn a bit more about the sport before you comment on it

[asss2grass]

Pat did a 195kg snatch at 19 but he maxed out at 170 here??

[BROZKNOWS]

@asss2grass made 175, missed 182 behind (easy lift) and is coming off an injured rotator.

[m5p944]

@BROZKNOWS not a best way how to heal an injured rotator man. Good luck

[BROZKNOWS]

@m5p944 nope, but the only way to make money lifting.

[groslardu]

sinclair 4th ok but did he has the best total???

[Pretending2Bsmart]

finally, a video that's longer than 30 seconds!!!!

[pereskiopsis]

Why did the doctors take so long to get to Farris?

[BROZKNOWS]

@pereskiopsis think it was shock.

[KarlosPaco33]

I'm simply not conviced that the squat jerk works for Kendrick. Maybe it work for Dymas and Kakhiashvili but is so painful watch Kendrick do that type of squat jerk. He should try a split jerk.

[18MeijiEra78]

@KarlosPaco33 I agree he even strangle to get up from the clean, dimas dont do squat jerk he just go down up2 parallel. As what i can remember every time dimas go lower than parallel he misses his jerk

[KarlosPaco33]

@18MeijiEra78 You are right about Dimas, my point really was about that Kendrick should definitely try a split jerk. He has overhead strenght to hold the weight but his legs are not as strong as suppose to be to do a squat jerk. He could try at least a power jerk to see what happend.

[oxcart]

@KarlosPaco33 .... and Dimas only started to squat jerk after a knee injury, I believe, stopped him from doing split jerks. There are Ironmind vids around of him s-jerking.

[southoreast]

@KarlosPaco33 Dude, squat jerk is for one who practices and works for it. People said the same thing about caraheads yet she's one of the few (if not only) females who does it often and well.

[nova68nova]

@KarlosPaco33 Yah, painful to watch. I really hope he gets his jerk straightened out though, because he cleans the weight so easily.

[yesfan157]

@KarlosPaco33 Dymas never squatted that low, if he did, he lost the lift. He would sometimes get to a low parallel squat, but never ATG.

[ownedlol123]

@KarlosPaco33 dimas does the power/push jerk. The squat jerk is when you squat atg bellow parallel. Dimas never did that, at most he got in a 90º position but thats because the weight was so heavy that it digs you.

[Krisbert1219]

Pat is a freaking animal... I try to watch his form to perfect my own... Just need the awesome man roar :)

[MultiTrollHunter]

how come pat can smash 200 in training but not even get up to 180 in competition? I honestly thought he was going to be a 2012 medal contender but not based on this performance!!

[Marcit10]

What is up with Pats jerk style? Why don't he do the split anymore?

[BROZKNOWS]

@Marcit10 we have switched back and forth from the beginning. will prob stay doing P jerks.

[MewtwoShadow]

man maddddddddd respect to that black guy from USA

*props from Canada*

[powerlifterism1]

SHIT Pat must be pissed!

[BowFleXuser]

that black guy on the american team scared me soooooo bad no lie, my shoulders wld just snap in all sorts of ways with weight pushing it back like that

[AeacusCanti]

Glad to hear that kendrick is 100% ok. He's got some serious balls to fight that jerk the way he did.

[chiefwr88]

I know this has nothing to do with the video, but i was wondering what you think is a good front to back squat ratio. right now im at 160 and 195. i know both need to get stronger, but i want to make sure one isnt way behind the other.

[tlast2O12dude]

the first dude, the black guy, was really impressive!

[ptarleton]

Well if Pat got 4th while injured Clean & Jerking weights he's close to Snatching...that's still pretty badass. Is he not doing a Split-Jerk because of his injury or somethin?

[michaelzwarszawy]

great lifting pat! hope you make a full recovery from your injury and come back an even bigger beast than before!

[desembodic]

amazing pat was able to compete let alone take 4th after such an injury. He will only come back stronger.

[jugfhj]

hahah pat always makes epic sounds when lifting :D

[AncientHer0]

That was just plain sick at 2:16 he was pretty much ATG out of that too bad he fell back :( Congrats to Pat for 4th!

[leifthetrain]

Is Pat injured?

[BROZKNOWS]

@leifthetrain recovering. MRI on 12/29 says: "...evidence of a partial tear at the insertion of the central aspect of the supraspinatus tendon 6mm x 1.2 cm in size..."

[dt76028]

From the vids I've been watching, I'm surprised pat only got 4th place. What was the weight difference between him and 1st place?

[BROZKNOWS]

@dt76028 The meet is based off sinclair formula. Chad Vaughn took 1st.

[kodiaklogic]

This footage is awesome, but Farris' last lift just about gave me a heart attack-- what happened? Is he okay?

[BROZKNOWS]

@kodiaklogic Spoke to him after and he was 100% ok. He thought he made it cause the last thing he remembered was standing up.

[desembodic]

@kodiaklogic probably just blackedout due to keeping tight with so much weight overhead for as long as he did.

[chewybaws]

2:18 OMG was nearly an amazing recovery till the end. I hope the guy's okay looked like it landed on his knees

[MooShoe89]

farris' third attempt was scary im glad to read from his twitter that hes ok. cant wait to see pat lift in a meet when healthy. thanks for the vid

[stuart7337]

you guys dont use the split? when jerking?

[mogensena]

holy shit that was close at 2:33.

[bandura1944]

А где же те 208 в рывке у Pat Mendes?)

Слабо слабо.

[BROZKNOWS]

@bandura1944 207, 217,217

[BigJsExtremeFitness]

Great lifts guys.

[trinity9011]

The squat jerk is obviously not working out for that black chap, he concentrate on split jerk.

[cadmusdixon92]

@trinity9011 How much can you lift? I bet it is a hell of a lot less than Kendrick even if you split jerk or power jerk.

[southoreast]

AW MAN! THAT BLACK DUDE IS A BEAST! A FREAKIN CHAMPION! MY GOD! IT WAS A PRIVILEGE TO SEE PAT AS WELL PERFORMING PHENOMENALLY. THANK YOU BROZ FOR POSTING THIS VID. THIS VID WAS A SWEET TREAT.
