Squat 462x20, Raw, Deep, No Belt, No Wraps

[Khang112]

You sir, are the manliest men I have ever laid my eyes on. Congratulations sir.

[kwstas67]

since ur a fuckin beast and one of the best atg squatters i have a question:

atg squats with o-shoes like the ones u do (i do them too) will give bigger hamstrings?

[daveslyk]

I imagine taking a shit the next day was very painful to sit on the toilet and get off the toilet. Freaking BEAST! Awesome video!

[InsaneBodybuilder]

One of the best Squatting videos on Youtube.

[mskcouric]

Can I just say, if I haven't already, how massive this video is?

Seriously. The form, the weight, the intensity: this is what all people who are smart enough to squat should aspire to. I'm about five years away from this, but it's awesome. Great video.

[CQKRIS30]

phenomenal...how the hell did you get legs as strong as that?!!!

any tips on how to squat heavier....i seem to make very little gains on legs

[dorull83]

that is freakin insane. hooo..lyyy...shit

[abraves10]

Amazing, I like the depth too. So many half assed squats on youtube. What shoes are you wearing?

[Snarfdmypants]

Question: You're a powerlifter? If so, why do you squat high bar?

[Blenderate]

@Snarfdmypants Multiple reasons, but the main one is that I find it more enjoyable, and I lift primarily for my own pleasure, not to win contests and break records.

[bitterpeanut]

Thanks for sharing. Inspiring.

[WSECNY]

That's really hilarious....I would love to write a book where I just write the thoughts that go through a persons head durring a 20 rep squat. I start dreaming about enemies around rep 13.

[mikeyburger1]

great squats!

[MrMbogza]

you breath from your diaphragm and push your belly out. anything wrong with diaphragm breathing BETWEEN reps, and then HUGE breath from the chest, pushing that air down to the belly, and then squatting ?

[purringwalrus]

i squatted 463x21 the other day

[TheSteakSammich]

Beastmode



[customphoenixwings]

No magic underwear lmaooo

[MrAsianBeef]

are you a wizard?

[lampelek]

beast as fuck.

[swifttiga]

man how much do you lift now?

[kwstas67]

any tips for squatting bigger weights for me ? :)

[yomon07]

@kwstas67 squat, squat, squat

[kwstas67]

@yomon07 haha i know :) i squat 3 times a week and i ve been increasing every time (hard to take a dump at first but my body got a bit of doms immunity in the legs :) ) is front squat any good for abs?i do them too

[yomon07]

@kwstas67 disclosure: I'm not as good of squatter as this guy! but, i do know a thing or two. If you've been increasing everytime, then it's just a matter of time, consistency, and will power til you'll be squatting big weights. front squats is good for core, but more than anything focuses more on your quads.

[kwstas67]

@yomon07 yeah ur a freaking wimp deadlifting 'only' 550 lbs

lol i feel bad for myself :(

[jlmknight]

you got some crazy will power

[jamesj74]

I did 20 reps on 400 pounds a few weeks ago, but with no build up. This will give me something to aim for - nice squatting. I'm normally doing sets of 6 in the gym between 260 and 300 kg, but I lift with wraps and a suit at that weight (I had a knee cartilage repair a few years back so unequipped lifting has concerns for me). The 20 reps on 4 plates was done with wraps and a belt.

[em2241992]

Wow that is impressive! That must have been grueling as hell

[jspesh]

I wish I could drive my hips like that. All my squats seem to utilise my back more than hips/legs

[MaDMadZ101]

@jspesh Then you need to spread your chest out more and keep your shoulders back and head looking slightly above eye level. DO NOT LOOK DOWN. Push your knees out to the side as you go down, and then bring them back in again when you come up. This utilizes your hams/glutes also, and gets your quads to fire in the correct way.

[Mr0Beast]

@MaDMadZ101 but looking down helps with hip drive. i try to look 6 feet ahead to the ground

[kwstas67]

@jspesh mines too and im certainly shorter than u.... until i tried atg squats :)

[anhisking]

beast much?

[jomo41301]

i wonder if he can find jeans that fit his thighs!

[amounirl]

Holy shit, you're a beast!!!

[laydeback66]

kudos guy that is some vein bursting shit lol. Mad respect

[raulvazquezdm]

Just did 235x20 I almost got ya ;)

[97bluenuts]

You are an absolute beast!! What is your one rep max?

[refuseit]

fucking beast

[yahnniemeng]

Quad fucking Zilla. Beast Mode.

[antOVentures]

Alpha as fuck!

nicely done.

OP Please Stay Safe.

[DJFroto]

is the last ab scene sped up?

[FlipsideBallah]

that's insane

[achmedda3rd]

fuck me thats what i call a workout!

[bioxgremlin87]

@2:30..YES!!!

[mattburns123]

One of the most impressive feats I have seen. Unreal.

[OldtimeChris]

Do you do this often?

[simobgbgbg]

good form sir!

[bperwien08]

Dude you are a fucking bull god!!!!

[fpotrykus]

awesome, i for one feel feeble and inadequate after seeing this guy

[MrUsernamer1234]

Fuck ya. 

[MrDanbergo]

i would be glad to do that once.

[tubesteakZ]

Awesome. Simply awesome.

[ObscureBeast]

Badassery right there.

[BigRich805]

thats not 462.

those are 25lb plates...

[Blenderate]

@BigRich805 The plates are marked in kilograms, not pounds.

[masterfaceblaster1]

@Blenderate

I assume your 1 rep max is around 700 -ish lbs?

[TheStrateshooter]

@Blenderate I'm getting tired just watching your workouts....DAYUM!!

[T4nku0ut]

@BigRich805 Either way he squats more than you rofl.

[JJRKnights]

@BigRich805 You're an idiot. Just stop weightlifting.

[MrJervilla]

@JJRKnights ikr? wtf is wrong with peole

[ie2left]

What type of belt is that? Where can I get one? Great video by the way, perfect form with heavy ass weight.

[Blenderate]

@ie2left It's just an Inzer powerlifting belt. Any powerlifting belt is more or less the same.

[1991thechamp]

@Blenderate Are you squatting 405 for reps again soon? I think you can go for 40+ with 405.

[nawdik]

@1991thechamp Blenderate retired from PL training due to chronic bone spur issues in his elbow/arm, so I don't think he's squatting that heavy anymore. I could be wrong however.

[emantabrizi]

"Now I can't feel my legs." LOL, you should probably stop at that point. This is, by far, the most impressive squat video I've seen on YouTube!

[MegaBazboy]

wow amazing... you ever gonna try Tom platz 500pounds 23 reps squat?

[octothorpe94]

3:00. Bitches be 'mirin.

[TBW92]

How much would you say a belt adds to your squat?

[Blenderate]

@TBW92 Perhaps 5%, though some people benefit more than others.

[TBW92]

@Blenderate That's about what I figured. I was just wondering because I was curious what my 355 ATG belt-less squat would translate to as a parallel belted squat for a PL meet. I'm injured at the moment (abdominal pull or some crap) so I have nothing better to do.

[sevak67]

@Blenderate how can you implement 20 rep squats and heavy singles together, wouldn't it result in injury?

[sevak67]

how can you implement 20 rep squats and heavy singles into a workout? wouldn't it result in injury?

[chemnuke]

Nice form. You just keep going and going. 

[gogynite]

dude... dude!!! that's gnarly

[FloydofOz]

Just incredible. This is one of my favorite videos of all time. And yes, I watch a lot of videos. Perfect technique. Total focus. Brute strength.

[nizzze17]

impressive

[almostconcerned]

I could never see myself doing something like that, but I can understand why some guys do. Great work man.

[Barker1080]

Great work mate.

[TroopahFTW]

This was so sick.

[Raptorel]

Great stuff... how heavy are you, I can't find it anywhere?

[NiceAndSmooth247]

your gym has colorful weights lol they look kinda weird but hey a plate is a plate

[shawncheng8]

@NiceAndSmooth247 Olympic plates, motherfucker!

[Iamscourge]

Yo dude how tall are you mate? Im trying to figure out the best technique for myself in the squat and got kinda interested in trying yours.

[kwstas67]

wow!what the f*** is this?:) looking forward to crash platz's 500x23 .i know u can.:)

just a question though.do u believe i should squat in olympic shoes if i do go atg?cause i use chuck taylors and i cant find oly shoes anywhere.where are they sold?

[xDoomx735]

Great depth,you definately had more left...i can see you doing 500lbs. for 20 soon.

[sbowesuk]

So is a deep squat different from an atg squat, because I'd expect for depth with an atg squat.

[MordorTheModmaker]

That is more impressive than any Ron Coleman 800lbs for 2 reps like videos to me!

I never did so many reps in squats. My last is 220lbs x 12, and I felt like dying after getting to failure on rep 13. Couldn't get up for about half an hour. Can't even imagine what 400 x 20 feels like.

[jimmcallister]

I know what you mean about the mental anguish of 20 rep squats. I used to have to psyche up all day to mentally prepare myself for them. Go over it in my mind. Even got my training partners to start the count again at ONE on the 11th rep to try and fool myself in to going on. Best I ever did for 20 reps was 185kg. Couldn't breathe normally for 15 minutes after I did that!

[M3ntok]

Your quads, they... they terrify me.

Seriously though, that is very impressive. Good job man!

[JJJMM1231]

Dude is BEAST.

[Timothyvdp]

thats awesome man, looks like a cool gym as well!

[119Elias119]

WHAT A FUCKEN MAD BASTARD!! I Salute you sir!

[jhawksrule75]

AMAZING, one of the greatest feats of strength I have ever seen, that was truly no BS lifting! BTW, great pick with the RATM!!

[hzlwdcntrlftbll]

OMG im never suprised that somebody disliked this video.....haha honestly this is in my top 10 of most impressive videos i've personally seen on youtube

[firalord]

insane! nice work!

[fergie232]

whats the song? something by rage against the machine? this was fucking awesome btw, so inspirational :p

[arcticblade1]

You're a strongman, not a strong man, but a strongman. Keep it up and hopefully, one day I'll squat half as heavy as you.

[Theanonraider]

High bar and great form as well as high reps. You sir are awesome.

Nice gym too.

[bifbojones]

good god almighty

[michaelzwarszawy]

have you ever considered doing low bar squats? i'm sure you could easily squat over 700 low bar.

[PWRLFTR242]

EXTREMELY Impressive! What is your 1RM for the squat? Are those tight shorts or briefs? 

[Blenderate]

@PWRLFTR242 305 kg (672 lb.). They are neoprene warm shorts made by Rehband.

[19danflo]

@Blenderate i wan't to be just like you when i grow up haha.. keep it up great job maybe one day i can do that.

[shawncheng8]

@Blenderate Would you say the neoprene shorts are helpful? Or is it one of those small advantages that you should really look at when you're putting up huge numbers?

[Blenderate]

@shawncheng8 They help to keep my glutes and hamstrings warm, to prevent injury. They don't add any weight to my squat, though.

[bigjohn1988]

Any particular reason why you do high bar? Does it ever bother your knees? I'm asking because I've been Oly squatting for a while now, and my knees have gotten very noisy and sometimes a bit achy.

Damn nice set, btw.

[MetaIhead89]

have you tried 20 rep deadlift?

[bperwien08]

That is fucking AWESOME!!!!

[418cjpaul]

maybe i should know who this guy is but i don't...but this is terrific squatting..i want him for our olympic lifting team...i am guessing his back strength is very high..if he hasn't tried olympic lifting he should...he reminds me of the russian lifters in leg strength..

[professorgentzel]

Great will power. Only somone who has gone through a real 20-rep squat set can appreciate how awful and brutal it gets. When I used to do 20-rep squats in my basement, I couldn't help but scream between reps 12-20. Back then, my trainer partner would cover his ears, it was pretty funny. It really is brutal torture.

[RyanOrteez]

Nice squats bro! How long have you been powerlifting for? I'm starting do heavy lifting now since I was previously an upperbody phaggot haha

[s1lvrinferno]

arrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ughh

[JBuchanan165]

insane...deep in the bucket!!!

[Drummerskate]

massive respect thats incredible

[bearhardman]

one of the best squatting videos I've ever seen. Disgustingly rough workout, amazing form, huge respect.

[haynesmv]

Brutal.....!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHH­H....I think I just poo on myself...That had to hurt bad...insane...Good deep squats much props bro.....wow

[eddiehaskell89]

Ahahahaha I didn't realize the hamstring exercise was sped up at first!

[Shrawty]

My personal best was 315 x 17 reps and I thought that was bad ass...now I know better.

[Neerukondas]

@Blenderate Tell me you didnt do all those singles after that 462 for 20?!?!? You sir, are the man!

[biscuitmancollin]

have you ever thought about trying to match or outdo Tom Platz's 500 for 23 reps?

[Blenderate]

@biscuitmancollin I've thought about it many times. :) Actually keeping my body from falling apart while getting up to that level is pretty difficult, though.

[biscuitmancollin]

@Blenderate I would imagine so. That would be incredible to see. The video of Tom Platz doing that is more impressive to me than a 1110-1200 pound max sumo squat out of a monolift in a Leviathan squat suit, belt, and wraps.

[kamaster1011]

@Blenderate what does the belt do when you have it on or off?

[MikeSarga]

Haha the abs and hammies look funny

[Flavortastical]

I am entirely made of jelly at this video.

[davids2cool4u]

Unbelievable.

[HoltrontheDestroyer]

Respect! That is how you do a squat! Inspiration.

[dtamara56]

Holy shit! Awesome strength..

[MaaNonu123]

How many calories should I eat with the 20 rep squat program if I am 200 lbs? if you don't mind answering.

[SimpleIronTruth]

Great strength. Good lifts! Ass in the grass!

[iRonlMoNKleY]

At 606 lbs,I was like please stop. Thx for sharing your accomplishments. It was really motivational. =]

[gonegolfn07]

this is so beast its not even funny

[BreedTrue]

ok dude when you refer to the mesocycle on your page does that mean this is all a calculated science that is allowing you to do this? Could you explain a brief example of your periodization. cuz dude thats fn incredible

[RAWMORRISMUSCLE]

nice squatting

[largeLENTILS]

very nice lifting brother. you are a bad ass. not many people understand what it takes mentally to bust out a heavy set of 20 squats. God Bless!!

[StanleyKu]

Totally awesome effort! Your quads look like two balloons. My beltless deep squat record is 225 for 15 and I thought I was going to die!

[JYDrummer12]

That's legit bro.

[pointandclickmovies]

Beastly!

[TheTouchdownBrown]

LOL on the abs i was like "that man is gettin it!!!" then i realized lil asian kids dont normally walk like that...

[DRod79]

great squats..very impressvie

[happokylpy]

5 people talked to Jesus at the rep 19th and failed the program.

[irishlax13]

@happokylpy terrible

[serbakovmarci]

Now this is insane! If you know something about powerlifting, you understand how freaky this is.

[SivaTau26]

Holy... I'm hella pump ryt na

U inspire me big homie

[ShadowCrashed81]

Mirin

[styro]

MOTIVATIONAL as FUCK! I'm going to fucking destroy my squat today

[polloalmole]

FREAKING WIDOWMAKERS!!

you sir have some balls of steel and you earned my admiration until the day i day. I wanna get there one day.

[DubB0wl]

You are my fucking hero.

[anon6952]

Holy shit, you sir are a freak!

[AscendTheStaircase]

This guy wears bicycle shorts to show off his quads. Otherwise, no one would even be able to tell he works out. He'd just look....FAT. Trying working out your arms sometime asshole.

[Notagayusername10]

son i am proud

[pumitaproductions]

my 5RM is 195

[pontiacgmx]

hmm. most i can do is 225x20.....i got a long ass way to go

[chevelle1258]

Man, you are a beast.

Holy shit, you are about as strong as i want (correction) will be. At least until i make it to that point anyway.

[vootman]

Great is all I have to say! Coming from an Oly-lifter!

[Manuelcr7]

how can you do 1rm max after a this 20?

For what aim are the 20 squats. strength or more testosteron and hypertrophy?

[djamazon1]

major respect

[MrRae101]

Eleiko plates are sexy.

[trikky1234]

Fucking beast.

[ohurley11]

Last rep went up fairly quick. I think you were good for at least a couple more :).

[ErNBuRn1]

How often do you do these kind of high rep high intensity squat workouts? and how much do you feel they help?

[johnnyu3]

Why are you squatting in the Curl Rack? just kidding, great job.

[InsurrectionistHive]

I listen to that song in the gym too, it's an offial gym tune  ;)

[eowdaoc]

BEASTBEASTBEAST

[dahlmissen]

[UofO08]
