Amazing!

what an idiot!!!!

That's just dumb.....

That cat has a couple of titanium knees in his not too distant future.

 

[Michaelthomasj]

That is pretty amazing, but probably not so good for long term training

If you look there is a vid of him doing 585 lbs lunges! It really is incredible to watch but I just dont see the value in what he is doing. Like the others, I just dont see how he knees will hold up if he does those on a regular basis. Probably one of the most impressive feats ive seen though. It looks like he has 225 lbs on that bar with how easy he moves around.

Pff piece of cake. i can do that with one leg

 

[Nate.184]

jeez thats nuts!

i know when I have 4-5 plates on, the bar seems to bend just a little more then that. Just my thoughts, but it looks phony and beyond stupid.
I remember this post/video b4 and thought the same thing
the guy needs three spotters/partners each time he trains legs!!?? I can't even get a good spot once in a while! , let alone three partners.

If that is real it is MIND BLOWING to me!

Those knee bounces off the floor look painful.

seems pretty real...in the video of him doing it with 585 the bar bend when he comes up on first full step looks correct...he walks with the weight pretty effortlessly which makes it look fake but if he does these a lot then he gonna be able to walk the weight like that...pretty sick

 

[Michaelthomasj]

I dont doubt the authenticity...i doubt the benefit vs risk ratio.

 

[jm425]

Impressive, yes. However, I see knee surgery in his future if he continues to do that.

Looks fake to me, after a few seconds he adjust the bar, looks like it moves too easy. Also he stumbles and recovers and steps back and dont look like theres hardly any momentum from the weight.

Also anyone who could do 585 lunges for a few reps must surely be breaking or near breaking the raw squat record.

If real then its pretty amazing
