This is the first of three videos in this series. Next week I'll show you the Bench Press competition and you will not believe how much these people can lift! We are setting new channel PRs left and right. Much love for each and every one of you and I do appreciate how hard you all have been working. It pays to be fit!!

“YEAH BUDDY!” as Ronnie Coleman would say It really does pay to be fit. You can get good results by working out consistently and by having a good diet. You guys don’t have to get payed by Nick Symmonds for you guys to believe “it pays to be fit”.

Squat Depth should’ve been enforced more. It’s kind of unfair for those hitting proper depth.

@@RaikageSama It actually needs to be lower than 90 degrees. For a squat to count, it needs to be convincingly deep for the judges. He also should've limited equipment to just knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and a belt for squats. People had knee wraps which gave them a big advantage like the guy who tried 605 lbs. But of course, the meet was just for fun and is nothing official. Very entertaining as well! I'm glad that the guy who did 600 had minimal equipment(besides elbow sleeves) and got convincingly deep.

Dad Bod was definitely deserving of the crown. Quite a few of the lifts were nowhere near a full rom squat and full rom should be important for fair competition. Also especially with the weight getting up in the numbers, I really hope the main and side spotters are on point because if that last dude had went lower I could see it going sour very quick. All in all great video and great job to all the competitors and motivational cheering in the back.

Glad he hit 600 since that's a clear red light at 8:40

But man do I get hyped seeing others fight through and beat one. I don't care if you're pulling just the bar or it's bending like a pool noodle: the red face and shakes of someone putting the work in and overcoming is just... humans being badass. That dude DD?

Great video, love your channel 💪🏼💪🏼and love it when you do challenges where there is the Men's and the Women's events, so it's not Men vs Women. $500 to the strongest Woman and $500 to the strongest Man is defo the way to go! Be good to do Armwrestling of women and men challenges to, but in lightweight, middleweight and heavyweight divisions, to make it fair. You'd get a lot of views for them, as always super-popular, especially when it's the women. Keep it up anyway, I look forward to the next two powerlifting events
