Any chance of this being reposted with the offending audio removed?

<.<

Hi Jon,

I don't have the original footage, so no. I could re-upload the original video, but most likely the audio would be disabled again.

I think the video, as is, has probably been uploaded by others to different video hosting sites however - if you find, let me know.

Who is this guy!?! He looks like he spends more time at the FOOD buffet putting maximum effort into his gut than his workout? What video is this? Never saw this guy at west side? HA HA this is a spoof video right, I mean this guy is faking like he is a power lifter. Funny now I get it!!

[johnnymnemonic2]

Actually, armyof11, I was spoofing Westside fashion at the beginning of the video - you're the only one who got that! Good job. Please don't bother trying to post again.

@AirJordan337 that's a good morning not a squat smart arse.

[OldtimeChris]

@AirJordan337 its not a squat its a good morning

[AirJordan337]

terrible squat technique at around 5:50, excessive forward lean is not how you want to squat

[micheletoscan]

@MrStitch105 He says he's doing a good mornings, and that they're a great exercise for reinforcing squats and deadlifts. Which is true, considering also what he said before.

@armyof11 LOL that made me laugh in real life hahaha.Ax effort at food buffet LMFAO.

[leozilla]

where do i get this blue "SKWAT" tshirt please

@MrStitch105 I was thinking the same thing! I had to look at westside videos of squats on youtube, to make sure that they actually went to parallel and kept their chests up. They do.

[MrStitch105]

why does this guy say he's squatting and then he goes and does a good morning? It's painfully obvious he has no clue how to squat. that 315 would bury him if he actually did attempt to squat with it. this should be deleted before it causes someone to get seriously injured.

nice series john, i'm new to the westside style of training so can i ask you on ME days if my technique is not solid yet should do i do a paralled normal squat or do GM then do speed squats on DE days. Same thing for the bench press, do i do board presses on ME day or just a normal bench?
