  • Very good lifting Donny, but man oh man are the rest of the guys in this gym on Donny's d*ck. You guys are all acting like major beta males.

  • Roids! No, just kidding. Good work.

  • that is what hard work and dedication looks like

  • 0:23 Lol @ the wall

    

  • He just grabbed me by the neck and ankles and strapped 125 lbs to my body and hang cleaned me for a 10 rep.....

  • this shit looks dangerous

  • I was wondering when the weight would actually look heavy and difficult to lift. Around 400lbs it started to look heavy, every thing else was rock solid !

  • height and weight??

  • @ImNotAsGoodAsDevin 6 foot and bout 2 30 pounds

  • Alpha.

  • un-fucking-believeable

    great form, great weight, fantastic lift man!

    congratulations, that is a hell of a weight!

  • cool shit aha very nice man

  • my bad.....1:40

  • albino bigfoot at 1:20

  • im so jello

  • I AINT NO FORTUNATE SON! IRON MAN! DREAM ON

  • DREAM ON!@@!@!@

  • Do you guys also do benchpress or is it just the old olympic diciplines?

    Peace

  • i want your wrists o.O

  • donny would be the last guy i would want to get into a fight with.

  • @MsSucka really? you cant think of anyone..?

  • @oliverjackhenke brock lesner? haha

  • how much rest do you get between each rep?

  • I not saying he isnt pulling weight but he isnt starting and finishing the movements. 

  • 1:45, that ain't donnie! haha

  • Cornell was so let down there

  • why do these guys do hang cleans/snatch

  • @collwatt Positioning work.

  • Comment removed

  • so the bar does bend

  • Damn, Donny's a badass, that's more than I can deadlift!

  • Can someone help please. I cant get my wrist under the bar like Donny does after he cleans the weight, i kinda have them on the position Donny haves them when he catches the clean and squats it up. So therefore i cant jerk properly.. Help?

  • @Jokk3asd i use the momentum from the lock out of the squat.. when i finish the squat, the weight bounces, have little time to catch it, before the lift, i increased the width of my grip a little and push my chest forward, mainly because i have been doing powerlifting for a long time and have small flexibility..both of those helps me catch it.. still no expert though. good luck

  • @mrkaanbk Well i have kind of problem with the cathing too.. i cant catch to squat. I do power cleans.. and them horrible too.. so lol, i dunno what im supposed to do. I so wanna learn oly lifts, and i do realise that even after years, you still can improve your technique, but i just wanted to learn how to do them. I dont have a coach, my gym doesnt have one.. Hmm.. i guess i just need to stick to practising on my own..

  • @Jokk3asd yeah i can't afford a coach, youtube is great, i just keep watching lifts on here, watching people in my weight class and around my height helps too. recording urself on the video helps, so you can watch yourself lift and compare it to vids here on utube. and yeah practice practice! good luck

  • @mrkaanbk Thanks! I think ill get it over time.

  • what a fucking asshole. was so proud with my 110 from the other day. :'(

  • name of the song playing during Donny's 3rd jerk around 0:30

  • you can see his dick flopping around in his pants...

  • 2:04 he realized he just shitted himself LOL

  • do any of yous have jobs.......hahahahah

  • his arms are so short

  • @evanreynolds1123 how? they look like they go down to the middle of his thigh. do yours go down to your knees?

  • @lovesgibson yes

  • @mulleii never said it was easy I said it looks more of a skill thing, that's why you see little Asian girls in the Olympics doing heavy weight

  • @Kbcrazy8s yeah... right.... those little asian girls you see there have a ton of strenght in their little muscles... strength dosen't come from big muscles necesarily... read a bit before commenting...

  • i like the holes in the wall

  • my Favorite song!!!!

  • damn imagine that much weight slamming on your foot when you drop it

  • very strong man

  • bunch of unaesthetic fatties

  • @jeenyus720 Don't you mean a bunch of athletes who couldn't give a shit what they look like?

  • Comment removed

  • 1:36 he sounds like a big broom broom car

  • Straight props dude. Congrats on the new personal best

  • people dont realize whats going on until they put the 4 iron plates on each side and 2 tens.

  • Not saying he isn't strong but I feel like this is a lot more skill then strength

  • @Kbcrazy8s Well go to your local oly lifting club and try it out and after that come back and make a statement. Everything looks so easy before you have tried it dont it?

  • Outstanding work. I've been Oly lifting for a while and this is great inspiration.

  • these are all good lifts but you guys gotta focus and lift to much joking and talking about the plans for that night, im not tryin to be a hater but i really wanna see usa olympic weightlifting start dominating again like it did in the 30s 40s and 50s

  • @MrChasegei pick up a barbell and do something about it then

  • @MrChasegei lmfao you are nuts

  • how long has he been lifting?

  • im a powerlifter, but i really enjoyed watching this.

  • does he have a 10 inch member...soft? yea, didnt think so ;) lmao

    (actually, he probably does considering..)

  • Music? xD xD

  • Out of place ad? Maybelline really?

  • Super impressive. Great form.

  • Epic gym playlist, no wonder dude's a beast

  • Can somebody please tell every crossfitter out there that is the proper way to train olympic lifts. Maybe all the full body seizures with 25lb "technique" plates can finally stop.

  • @bust3rblader power cleans are generally not easier than a full variant, unless your form is bad. I this case a hang power clean would not be easier than a full clean. Some may argue the power clean translates to other sports better, but the hip movement is important, and that happens in all variants.

    @Bananayoghurt1000 Technically, he did pick it from the floor. He just initiated the movement from the hang, which is a legitimate training exercise.

  • Do you have any tips for increasing squat?

    P.S. You all listen to some damn good music

  • I think it's not proof of their strength, but proof of the technique involved in Olympic lifts. I don't think they stand a chance at overhead pressing any of this weight.

  • Here's the situation, your 180lbs but your ripped, low bf%. Your in a bar and your chatting up girls, they like that your muscly, your arms are big and you've got abs. Then Donny Shankle walks in the bar, he's bigger than you, he's stronger than you and he's more of a man than you. The girls take an interest in the Shank cuz lets face it...he's the Shank, that time in the gym you spent bench pressing and bicep curling means nothing why? Cuz the Shank can throw 440lbs above his head that's why.

  • @disi69 lame ass comment, that's the gayest shit I ever heard...get a life and go do some bench press and bicep curls, and then suck the "Shank" dick...i preffer being 180 ripped and low b fat (that obviously get u more girls, uless u live in some shitty small town) than looking like a farmer and having a beer belly..LMAO

  • @1991VT For starters your probably 16, tiny, started lifting weights 3 weeks ago and now think your some sort of bertie big bollocks when in actual fact you've only just started making willy milk! I was 180lbs at 14 and was chucking nerds like you round the playground just for the fun of it. Women like men who are manly, strong and not pussys who wear low cut tops, fake tan and wax themselves. How's about you strap on a pair and start squatting full depth you piss poor excuse for a male.

  • @disi69 LOL you really got butt hurt, you don't even know who i am, i'm sorry i offended you and your pedo farmer...the only piss poor excuse of a male i see here is you...go out there and achieve something more important in life than sucking this guy's dick, or praising other people's achievements, keyboard warrior...LMAO

  • @disi69 this kid is a hardass, playgorund bully here WATCH OUT

  • So girls like "manly" playground bullies? If the those exist, those aren't worth collecting even if the look like Gisele Bündchen.

  • @disi69 SUP FAG?!

    LOOK AT THIS BA !!!

    lmao...

  • @disi69 Wow...were you being serious with that comment?

  • Fuck this , i am going to gym now....

  • PRIME PUSS....

  • @PULLUPBARLIFE True. But it looks like you have gorillashoulders to outsiders:P

  • you're supposed to pick it up off the floor fatman, FAIL

  • Comment removed

  • @Bananayoghurt1000 1:50 fucking looser

  • they train with real music....

  • holy fuck, I struggle squatting this....this dude is a monster...and by the time he gets to it he's done like 25 lifts...monster

  • Why the is there always a battle between lifting sports going on in these fucking comments, were all trying to make progress one way or another, do it without being a doucebag to someone with different goals

  • ... Pat Mendez ring any bells :)

  • FUCKING STRONG!

  • How much does he weigh?

  • 1:35 ...guy to the left, lol not that discrete

  • everyone is gay for donnie...........intense lifts though!!

  • Great video!

  • wow

  • Oooh shit !!! Thats impressive !!!! Well done

  • Donny Shankle and Glenn Pendlay are my muthaf*ckin' heroes! WFW for life!

  • FUARKKKKK WHAT A BEAST.

  • he is way way way stronger than how he looks.....

  • @illegitimate0 how about you post a vid where you demonstrate how to C&J 200k?

  • how much can donny bench?

  • Totally following you on all of your posts except for the "warrior" part. Dude, it's CXFit, not battle. I like the sentiment but the rhetoric is a little thick :)

  • God tier gym music

  • Am I the only one who cringes for this guys knees on every clean? They always seem like theyre going to shear sideways. Other lifters generally keep their feet closer together so it looks like they're better supported. I am sure he's fine, it just looks bad.

  • EVERYONE go subscribe to glenn pendlays official youtube channel, he has all of donny's HEAVIEST lifts, he has donny's competion C&J of 210KG and it also has donny's clean complex with 201KG, crazy shit lol

  • @ThatDunneKid190 link?

  • Crazy lifts, but do you guys just sit around the gym and hang on this guys nuts all day? That's what it sounds like.

  • im too scared to do these lifts, i prefer the bitch way, regular isolation type training for size... id rather be pretty and super strong than be able to clean and press 100lbs let alone 200kg! But you got my props, you make it look f%^king easy!

  • I would really love to learn Olympic weightlifting. Is this club purely open to advanced lifters or do you offer instruction to beginners who have never performed the lifts. Thanks.

  • it not only the power and strentgh ... it more of technique ... you can be strong as hell but not be able to lift that because you dont know how...

  • This is a man who can literally rip you limb from limb.

  • what is the song at 0:51 seconds

  • Comment removed

  • @chitraknaha Aerosmith - Dream On

  • @egahd The Shankle doesn't train to look pretty for the girls at school and the club. He trains because he is a warrior and warriors only care about victory. I don't give a rat's ass if your friends think that scrawny ripped abz prettyboys are cute; any mature man knows there is no honor in being cute.

  • @BroolStoryCo no honor? what are you Japanese? Shut the fuck up

  • @BroolStoryCo i do o-lifting too ...gotta say theres some truth to abs and chicks ... i lift at a lighter weight so low bf is to my advantage in the sport ... and it also helps w the ladies. the heavyweights in my team dont get nearly what i get w the ladies but they stil respect me. im sure some guys train just to get girls ... and that is their victory ... just different goals. dont hate ....

  • @BroolStoryCo

    >implying girls like abs because they look 'cute'

    Dno why all of you get your knickers in a bunch over bodybuilders. It's really just a matter of diet if you want to 'look ripped'.

    At the same time, people with good physiques and indeed pro bodybuilders can still be strong as fuark. Look at guys like Layne Norton, natty bb'er and putting out some very impressive numbers in powerlifting.

  • @BroolStoryCo Cool story bro

  • @BroolStoryCo That has to be the quote for London 2012.

    "Any mature man knows there is no honor in being cute."

  • @BroolStoryCo

    This isn't the 1500's when a Warrior's victory was his foe being killed. This is the 21st God Damn Century! So called warriors today get pansy little medals.

    If a real 15th century warrior met a "so called modern warrior".... the 15th century badass would shit down your throat!

    U Mad Bro?

  • @baysidepreppy

    Haha. History expert are you?

  • is glenn pendlay filming this

  • @TheKingClem Right now, Glenn is handling the live-feed camera. The footage in our YouTube videos is usually shot by one of the California Strength staff or the athletes themselves.

  • @CaliforniaStrength Why not Powerclean? Isn't it easier? And better.

  • "silly thing"

  • Very very strong

  • Its all kinda lazy...wheres some explosiveness?

  • Comment removed

  • all my chick friends are like bulky guys are SO UGLY. lol.

    they think it looks way better when a guy is lean and muscular.

    so why would i do all this hard work to be worse looking...

  • @egahd I don't know, why would you?

  • @egahd It's not about looking good. It's about being strong, dominant. And by the way. Only socially awkward morons need to be good looking to get girls. All it takes is confidence and charm. And by the way, woman like men, not little boys. Some kid who can barely benchpress his own weight might as well be a girl himself

  • @savoringdeath What does all the muscle mean when smaller guy has a gun and the person thats all big and strong gets his brains blown out? That guy wouldnt be dominant now would he?

  • @dekudude68 If you carry a gun, you're weak.

  • @NurgTheJedi the biggest pecs in the world won't stop a knife

  • @NurgTheJedi or smart.

  • @dekudude68

    Nor would the small guy; sounds like he'd go to jail for a pointless murder from his jellymad of his weakness.

  • @savoringdeath HAHA ... dont tell me that these guys never flex in the mirror... its in our nature to want to look good ... just because some people lift weights to different ends doesnt make them any better.dont hate bro

  • @savoringdeath

    Dude, i agree, but let me say this: If ya wanna build some muscle. You don't need to do huge weights. I press my own weight maximum at the gym. And i do 10 reps. I don't need to fuck all my joints up before i am 30, just because some people who are in the sport do. So chill the fuck out man. But you know. YOu saw whatever the fuck you wanna say.

  • @sujoms You wrote that like a true pussy would.

  • @MEELATEHGRIL

    Yeah this pussy is faster than you in a 100 meter sprint.

  • @sujoms So you consider yourself a fast pussy?

  • @MEELATEHGRIL

    Why do you ask if you already know. x'D

  • @sujoms I'm just surprised to see a 31-year-old man who considers himself a pussy. At least I don't have to spend any time convincing you.

  • @savoringdeath & I'm sure a real man is only characterized by his strength, right?

  • @egahd wow your seriously stupid. Hes not lean because he doesnt give a shit about the way he looks. If he wanted to be lean then he would diet to be so...How the fuck could weightlifting make you look worse?

  • @egahd Have a chest like a 13 year old boy all your life then fella... ya makes ya choices!

  • @egahd That's because you hang out with a bunch of fat chicks. They need you to stay skinny so you keep chasing those chubbies.

  • @egahd your chick friends aren't the standard for women. I know plenty of girls that like bulky men or strong/husky solid dude. Haha we can all still agree big bodybuilders are ugly though LMFAO

  • @egahd Probably because your chick friends are lesbians.

  • he'S scary 

  • Breaking out the Skynyrd. I love it.

  • yeah nice job donny.......i mean your no Matt Bruce or for that matter you dont even have a shot at the olympics but im glad you found yourself a hobby! id be more impressed if you did these lifts and weighed under 100 kg shit for that matter under 110 kg,

  • @hll2 He's in the -105kg class

  • @hll2  he's -105kg

  • @tofusurvivor1 thats his competition weight.... thats not the weight he trains at. hes never hit any of these numbers in competition

  • @hll2 /watch?v=ndhEldQJMAk&feature=m­fu_in_order&list=UL

    He's getting a lot stronger.

  • @hll2 If the U.S. had any spots, or if Donnie can get one via Pan Ams, he has the strength to be in the A class. Medal? No likely, but he has cleaned 225, and snatched at least 170. Most people in the A class don't clean that much.

  • @hll2 I guees you havent achieve anything in your life.

  • That's pretty incredible for his size. Don't get me wrong, he's a big dude, bigger than me. But I feel he has more power than his size lets off. A lot of power. Great job, Donny.

  • Incredible Strength. I thought I was really doing something with my 215#'s lol. Awesome vid bro.

  • Where in California are you guys?

  • I had a hernia just watching this. Good job Donny.

  • why you don`t compete at the olympics:......?

  • sheesh, their collar bones must be broken, Lol

  • I wish I could lift at this place :/

  • What brand of belt is he wearing?

  • hang cleans my deadlift max fuuuuuuuuuuuck

  • how big is Donny? ht/wt?
