  • How the hell do you even train for doing those crazy jumps ???

  • @dkfjndfklhklfkldfgal ...Very carefully.. lol

  • Why is every football player benching with their thumbs under the barbell? That's dangerous right?

  • Im a Raven fan but that LB Core was the best this year

  • What is that BLUE band you are using for the sled push????

  • nice vid, though it was abit pathetic watching him bench at the start, his gluts coming way up off the bench, humping the air pretty hard 

  • @freshchoresh how's it pathetic? He isn't training directly for pectoral strength... It's power!  Using helper muscles and core is only beneficial

  • is that 315 pounds from 15-40 seconds?

  • @StraightCash081 Its for more resistance as you continue to run the band stretchs and makes the run harder. So its like double resistance

  • the kid works hard and did what he had to do to get ahead and to make his paycheck, when your coach says "you have to get stronger and faster" you fucking do it one way or another!! but he did break the rules regardless and did his time so lets not make the same mistake this time Brian. Go Broncos!!!

  • Obviously steroids didn't push the sled and bench that bar but it obviously affected his performance. The fact is its not on a level playing field. To compound that if everyone did use it to make it even there would be moral issues for some players along with the fact that there would be many more injuries.

  • @hannel19 there is no such thing as a "even level playing field" in life. you get in how you fit in

  • I love how they claim to insist on good form as these fuckers bounce the shit as hard as they can off their chest and still do half reps...

  • @tiberias111 you sound jealous. lmao dumbass

  • He's a frickin unit and I'd love to have him as a Bronco

  • The only thing I have to say about this video is, wow. Holy shit.

  • replace "new" with "2010"

  • its not just cushing but can someone explain to me why, during the bench press, ALL nfl player seem to chest bounce the bar? it is the worst and stupidest technique imaginable in weights yet they ALL do it?

  • I guarantee you all the morons defending this meat head using steroids are the same fags who whine about the Patriots and Spygate..."Waaa waaaw a you cheated!! Bill Belicheat!! The Cheatriots!! waaa waaaa."

  • @dolphinsattack watch and the patriots are winning the superbowl so suck my balls little bitch

  • @PaulyH45 awwww Pauly are you part of "Tap out" where you and your boyfriend tap each other in the ass? Good for you.

  • Houston texans playoffs here we come!

  • Your all gay. One word to describe this man...BEAST!

  • @xTheFormlessOnedx you are an idiot

  • haha I thought this song was one of those South Park/Team America montage songs. Guess it isn't.

  • @foeater While the reverse bands will allow him to handle more weight & provide assistance, the chains are prolly heavier than the band. Also, the chains would provide a degree of instability. As the chains load (come off the floor) they'll create some sway.

    It would be the same as doing squats + chains w/a squat suit on.

    Atleast that's what I gather.

  • cush rules. lift heavy

  • 0:08 white boy cant jump my ass !! haha

  • lmao the sign at 2:56

  • @foeater Sorry mate Joey D reckons your gonna have to work this one out yourself

  • @foeater I believe it would be to load up the eccentric (down) phase of the squat with the extra weight from the chains. Because muscles can handle more load eccentrically the bands provide some assistance in the concentric phase. Make sense?

  • He did the rows wrong . But this guy is aweome. Hes my new idol =)

  • God. I wish hockey players could do this basic stuff without getting slow as fuck on the ice and pulling a muscle. We're stuck with all this robotic or rbeotic blah hatvepwle im switching to football.

  • "Heavy ass sled drags" 1:41 haha total badass!

  • heavy ass sled drags.. lmao

  • you can also use HCG for weight loss not just post steroid cycle. 

  • Goddamn though, I fucking hate that football style of lifting. It's so fucked up and ass backwards.

    He's not even trying to get a good contraction on the bench, and those squats, wow.

  • Anyone who thinks steroids are cheating is a fucking idiot.

    It's the NFL. There isn't a single person in the league that isn't on, or hasn't been at one point. There's a difference between getting caught positive and actually being positive.

  • @215Dave215 ummm every1 in the nfl doesnt or havent taken steriods. thats a idiotic assumption

  • @215Dave215 haha ok I bet you don't even lift. 

  • @desembodic Lol, bet wrong.

    It's ok to be butthurt over the internet, don't worry.

  • @215Dave215 everyone is cheating because they are bigger and stronger then me wahh. I see guys like you everyday accusing other people in the gym of using steroids when they hasn't spent one day training properly where I have spent years just like top nfl guys who spend their entire lives training to get to that level.

  • @desembodic Please, watch the movie "Bigger, Faster, Stronger". You might even find a few clips from it on this very website.

    You are completely missing my point. Steroids are not cheating when majority of the people in the league are on them. Doesn't mean they don't work hard, either.

  • @215Dave215 I've seen that movie its extremely biased. You assume most are on them with zero evidence to support that claim other then the assumption that they are better athletes then you they must be on drugs. No different then assuming someone at the gym who has dedicated few years to training correctly who has good physique is on drugs.

  • @215Dave215 also that movie shows no evidence that most athletes are on drugs either, its simply shows that steroids do in fact work and when used correctly are not as dangerous as some might think. Yet there is also zero scientific studies showing the use of steroids that say a pro bodybuilder would use, yet many pro bodybuilders have had heart issues.

  • @215Dave215 Wow your are retarded. Whoever told you everyone in the NFL is on roids is almost as dumb as you for believing it. Are you watching these workouts? Obviously they are monsters because of the work they put in. There are constant tests for substances in the NFL and NCAA. Noone can get away with using roids. And cush didnt roid he used HCG. Not the same at all. Read a book dousche.

  • @DJOLSON45 You're a fucking moron. HCG is used a post cycle therapy for a steroid cycle.

    Now tell me, you putrid little cunt, why would you need to use post cycle therapy if you don't take steroids?

  • What kind of roids did Joe give him? Oh and yeah, wraps your thumbs around the bar when u bench, douchebag!

  • The high quality of a company’s customer experience rarely has anything to do with the high price of their product. Our aim is true slapCompany.

  • 3:08 don't feed the animals

  • more workout vids of Brian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • that man would destroy me

  • Even if he did use steriods, it would mean he would have to work twice as much dumbasses

  • @waitandbleed1464 twice as much? just cuz hes on roids? good one dumbshit

  • I <3 Brian Cushing

  • I <3 Brian Cushing

  • I <3 Brian Cushing

  • I <3 Brian cushing

  • He's seemed to fix his gynecomastia.  Finally has his post cycle therapy down pat, but it took a few cycles.

  • @MidEastBeastL337 HCG is used after a cycle to put your testosterone levels back to normal. It so estrogen doesnt over come the estrogen your body produces. He at one point used steroids. It's the NFL! you dont see average joes playing.

  • @azamora8941 Are you attempting to imply that all NFL players have utilized steroids in one point in their lives? Actually, that's incorrect, because there are many athletes who have genetics to produce more testerone than we normal people have. It's not all about drug. Look at natural bodybuilding. They have rigorous tests, but they still look inhuman.

  • dudes a monster

  • Cushing wants to get pregnant !

    'So before you go around accusing me of being a steroid abuser, consider a more serious alternative: I just want to be a mother, and I'm not going to stand here and let you jackals in the media accuse me and my 23" arms of cheating for personal gain. My fertility doctor said that stress is not good for conception, and I will NOT let you stress me out!'

  • WTF? Dude is a flat out Cheater. he has been a know hgh and hcg user since his days at Bergen catholic high School. He may work hard but so do a lot other athletes and they dont cheat . He does. DRUGS ARE RUINING SPORTS IN THIS COUNTRY. STOP ADMIRING FAKES !!!!

  • crunch time!

  • keep ur ass on the bench...

  • guy is a freak of nature.

  • if someone was 1/4 of this strong in high school hed be an all american ever since he was a freshman in usc ive been following this guy n he just blows my mind everytime i watched him even though he was picked 1st rnd he shoudve been #1 overall

    b cush= in the future ray lewis+ brian urlacher

  • They shoulda got him to say, "I must break you" at the end of this montage!

  • It doesn't matter to me in the slightest if Brian Cushing took steroids....steroids ain't pushing that sled and they ain't benching that bar. Cushing is an animal and I admire him because of how freaking hard he works. In fact, I'm going to go get some of those kettle weights and add them to the routine.

  • @Crossbow1987 THANK YOU

    hes my fave nfl LB

  • @Crossbow1987 i agree he works hard but steroids give him an edge over other players in the nfl who arent taking them

  • why does he need a masking agent?

  • Clay Matthews FTW !!!!!!

  • heavy ass sled drags

    lol

  • What Did The Purpose Of Those Hanging 45s Serve At 2:03 While He Was Benching

    ?

  • @kinggold20 I think the purpose of the hanging 45s are for a much heaver negative rep to start out on the bench, then he goes explosive on the next reps after they fall off. Muscle confusion or something. IDK, anyone else want to verify this?

  • HCG is not a steroid. Know your facts. Stop thinking every time a player gets caught with a banned substance its automatically steroids. there's even certain stuff in vitamin shoppe or gnc that athletes can't take. remember the FDA can't check everything. if you get off your ass and hit the gym, stop playing world of warcraft, and fantasy football you too can become a walking Adonis.

  • this is like a rocky montage

  • evrytime i leave the weightroom at skool i feel horrible and 4get y im workin so hard, then i watch some cushing videos and then i remember. THIS is what it takes to get to the top and thats where i wana go

  • what exactly is the excerise at 2:08 called?

  • @renegades9699 looks like hes doing dynamic effort benching with mini bands and weight releasers

  • BAD ASS VIDEO, GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!

  • Joe, in this video is "Cush" on a cycle?

  • Brian Cushing and one of the best athletes of the league and it is'nt a drug-addict it's bullshit this history of HCG! For me it's the best LB and lives TEXANS!!

  • CUSHING, YOU MAKE TEXANS FANS HAPPY

    

  • Too bad that training didnt do jack shit to the giants offensive line. I didnt even hear brian cushings name during the game.

  • @Hennesseysrt10 That's what happens when you get off the juice. Look at what happened to Merriman's career. Cushing is next.

  • id hate to been on this dudes bad side

  • Poor Eli.

  • @RAMKING61 Yeah Poor Eli. He just dominated that swiss cheese defense

  • @RAMKING61 Ha. Well, at least Cushing did get to Eli on a blitz and force the interception. An interception by the worst corner in football, Kareem Jackson.

  • goddamn cushing is a beast!

  • What's the white bracelet thing he's wearing?

  • @kingfelix009

    Its known as an energy band. Relatively new,meant to increase your balance and apparently strength

  • Where's the deadlifts, bear crawls, burpees, clean and jerks and power cleans the most vital exercises for football players.

  • @andreg211 Guess the giants offensive line were doin the deadlifts...lol

  • @Hennesseysrt10 I'm not hatin on Brian C. because I'm from Houston so I like Brian C. but Dick Butkus would have taken Cushing's starting postion if he were playing in today's game.

  • what?! you watched the ROCKY marathon thisd past weekend? lol love this song now your dating yourself bro

  • now that's juicy

  • One of the hardest working ATHLETES in the country. This kid is so for real its scary. If he was a whiny, overpaid, egotistical waste like most NFL athletes he would have got lazy and quit. From Bregen to Houston, this kid has put the work in. Hes one of the best in the game. It makes me cringe everytime I watch this to know that as a Bills fan we drafted someone who felt it was more important to hold out and not train, than to make an impact.

    Great job Brian and Joe.

  • pussy

  • great song choice. stallone knew how to pick em

  • You guys are stupid, Brian Cushing isn't a steroid user and he didn't even get suspended for using steroids. He got suspended for taking something that happened to have a steroid masking agent in it which was A) Approved by the Texans' training staff and B) something he used in college. He shouldn't have been suspended, all it really did was make him even better by increasing his off season by 4 weeks. Brian Cushing is an animal and will destroy the NFL.

  • @MidEastBeastL337 no he got caught for hgc which is basicALLY a suped up fat burner so i wouldn't call a fat burner a PED but fuck the nfl

  • @MidEastBeastL337 why would he use a masking agent or why would it be approved by the training staff if they knew what it was used for?

  • @puttter neither of them knew HGH was in the supplement. the strength & conditioning coach responsible for bringing those SUPPLEMENTS into the locker room has since been fired! this was the same thing that happened to the Texans' offensive tackle Duane Brown. the Texans organization has taken the necessary steps to make sure it doesnt happen again.

    Calling Brian Cushing a steroid user is like calling someone that scores a 1200 on the SATs a cheater because they happened the have a text book.

  • @bmb7198 He took you, he is responsible for what goes into his body.He should be smarter then that. He used HGH

  • @MidEastBeastL337

    Brian Cushing did not test positive for a "steroid masking agent" he tested positive for HCG. It's used as a post cycle therapy for steroid cycles including testosterone. HCG itself is not a steroid, it's a hormone produced in the body during pregnancy or from tumors(his excuse was that he must have a tumor and he'll check it out). Without a tumor though, there's no reason to test positive for HCG if you're not juicing.

    All that aside, he's a SICK ATHLETE!

  • Comment removed

  • @MidEastBeastL337 He tested positive for HCG. Not a steroid masking agent. It's for post-steroid cycle therapy. Read up. HCG was approved by the Texans' training staff but banned by the NFL? And he blamed testing positive on overtraining? Sorry, it doesn't work like that. And I don't think he was trying to conceive a child by taking HCG. He trains like a beast like most NFL players, he took steroids like many NFL players, and he got got in the post-cycle process like a few NFL players.

  • @ChewyHighHAD the only problem with your theory is that if he was in post cycle he would have tested positive for other illegal performance enhancing substances. I know firsthand that Testosterone can stay in your system for 6 months. Deca is 18 months, about 5 months is the minimum for steroids to be out of your system. Post cycle therapy begins during the end of the cycle and continues for another 3 to 4 weeks. Therefore he still would have had the steroids in his cycle.

  • @ChewyHighHAD Smart response..very rare I see that. Just an addition, more steroid users should be on post cycle therapy...that's where the suicide comes from, low on T.

  • this has to be one of the sickest training montages EVER! cant wat for ovtober 10!

  • CUSH!! CANT^ WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!! BRING IT GIANTS!!

  • hey Joe what kind of nike shoes are you wearing from 0:14 - 0:44 ?

    Thanks!

  • @donronter get a life, please and worry about yourself. man did his time, but keep on hating.

  • @JolanPyland Not hating. Just hate cheaters. So I guess I should quit "hating" criminals as well.

  • @DonRonter 1) steroids / masking agents / performance enhancers etc, are used by so many athletes it's unreal. I shouldn't really be saying this, but half of the Jamaican athletics team are on hgh. However 2) taking the level of enhancers you can get away with in sport won't make you superhuman. You still have to training ****ing hard to get anywhere. Even if a certain sprinter (not naming names) ran a 9.58 and was slightly juiced, it doesn't mean they aren't the best in the world.

  • Might be a good idea not to associate your gym with a juicehead. Just sayin'

  • @DonRonter no as you can see from the video hes overtrained, he carries on pushing himself, unlike you i bet your a fat or atleast unfit hater

  • @95tjamie - Cushing isn't over-trained. He's training hard, but he's not over-trained. Over-training is extremely harmful to an athlete.

  • @180Patrick360 all the doctors are saying hes over trained

  • @95tjamie - "All" the doctors are not wildly genius football trainers like Joe D. is. He knows when and athlete is doing too much. Think about it, he sees Brian training in his gym all the time. Joe is able to tell when Brian is moving more slowly, is lethargic, and over-trained. He'll know because he cares about his athletes and he won't take chances with their dreams.

  • @180Patrick360 yeah that is true, thats what makes Joe so great :D

  • @95tjamie I'm not an NFL athlete, or a top trainer or anything like that, but I have played high level rugby, rowed at Henley and was national level at tennis when I was younger. So I've had a lot of experience with coaches who are great, and some who aren't so great. And the one thing that I can safely say, from rowing especially, is that most athletes get nowhere near to overtraining. Top coaches know this - it's all I ever heard from them. The shit ones don't. Doctors should comment.

  • @DonRonter

    HCG isn't steroids. Just Sayin

  • @Southpaw447 Nope. It's a masking agent for steroids. Do I have to spell this out for you? LOL Manny Ramirez was caught with the same stuff. Never the same again.

  • @DonRonter

    Actually it's not a masking agent either. It's used to kickstart your body's natural production of testosterone after a steroid cycle.

    Do I have to spell it out for YOU? How about you shut the hell up until you are educated on the subject of AAS and other performance enhancing drugs, because clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.

    And judging by the video, I think he athletic performance is doing just fine.

  • @Southpaw447 WTF? That's exactly what I meant you moron. Juiceheads use it to mask the fact they dont have natural testosterone. So they kickstart with that stuff. Holy fuck you're a moron trying to defend this caught cheater. Fact is the only reason you should something that's only found in women is because you're juicing. How naive are you? LOL Get a clue you tool

  • Comment removed

  • straight up beastly!!!

  • Thumbs up for 80's music!

  • cush is a fuckin monster cant wait to see him back on the field

  • Comment removed

  • He should compete in tractor pulls......Beast

  • this video is so sick.

    regardless what he did or didn't do to test positive on that drug test this guy is an animal.

  • Awwww Joe, why'd you switch songs? Don't get me wrong, anything from the Rocky IV soundtrack is gold, but "Training Montage" is the shit.

  • you guys all are a bunch of dumbasses cushes form is totally fine u dumbasees its called making the bench press a total body lift not just upper body u guys dont know shit hes making it a total body lift which in turn will make it a safer lift dumbasses

  • just out of curiousity....what is that chic doing at 2:00 into the vid?

    O.o

  • @bmb7198 lmao good observation, i think shes dancing with her hands on her tits XD

  • Joe seriously you need to be my coach 

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • deleted the other video with the crazy song? :P

  • Big Joe, where did you find/get the hooks that release weight when the bar gets close enough to the floor?

  • Loving the Rocky Soundtrack!

  • how much was he benching at 00:18

  • startin to think "Hulk" is a good nickname for Cush. piss him off, he just gets bigger.

  • cant wait to see Cush crush someone. Eli....be afraid, be very afraid.

  • CMON JOE! check that dudes bench form, ass up? chest bounce? thats some bull shit.... hes still a monster though

  • @Russaldo13 this isn't a powerlifting comp

  • @goofy775 still isnt an excuse to do the exercise half assed.

  • @Russaldo13 doesn't look to half assed to me.. if you're capable of doing better more power to you but I know i can't do that with any amount of chest bounce.

  • @goofy775 well the point is hed be getting more benefit if he dropped the weight and did dynamic work without the bounce and lifting his ass off the bench, but guys dont want to take the ego hit by dropping weight, obviously hes doing something right because hes a great NFL player... but maybe he could be even better.

  • @Russaldo13 as I said before hes a football player not a powerlifter or body builder. Bench is not going to make or brake him.. a little iffy form is fine.. his profession is football

  • @goofy775 I just dont see the point in doing it if your not gonna do it right, sure it doesnt matter if he doesnt do it right, but its a mentality thing.

  • @Russaldo13 sometimes a little slack in your form will help you progress more anyways.. overload etc.. everyone has some slack from time to time.. I think you're looking to much into it.

  • @goofy775 losing form only helps you get better at bad form, how you practice is how you preform

  • @Russaldo13 you should tell that to matt kroc and most other top level lifters.. as well as the majority of professional athletes... very few football players do proper cleans but you're never going to call them on that.. its fucking bench who cares

  • @Russaldo13 I guess if *strict* bench press ever becomes part of a football game then Cush will be in trouble.

  • @Russaldo13 get ur ass offf you tube and go get a life how much do u bench 110 u fuckin jackasss quit critizing people when u urself dont know wtf ur talkin bout jackass russaldo quit hatin cus u cant bench 135

  • @Russaldo13

    What makes you think a top NFL linebacker, making millions of dollars, needs training advice from some nobody? 

  • @jdelasko - I agree that he shouldn't be giving Joe training advice, but don't call him a nobody. That's too harsh.
