Loving the Sopranos inspired intro! Great vid

I wonder if dave would set off the lunk alarm at planet fitness lmfao

Im subbing because of this video. I have a very weak right knee from a deployment and have been avoiding using it, which has been making it weaker. Tomorrow is leg day. Let's get back to that 425lb squat! Hoooah!!!!!

Love Dave Tate! Straight Forward.

Thank you for the video.

So awesome. I feel pumped up unbelievably.

Good vid. I like the Sopranos beginning and couldn't agree more about passion trumping all

Glad I'm still subbed. Good choice on Woke Up This Morning

Great video guys!

i got goosebumps when the video started and soprano's intro music played in my ears

Great stuff Dave you speak the truth , god bless people like you wish you where around when I was 20 may have changed a few bad decisions , all the best good luck. Mike Sydney australia

CT would be proud of these men.

2 videos in 2 days?!?! Lets keep it going T nation

That list of injuries was insane. Torn this, torn that, surgeries here, surgeries there, "... and both calves ripped completely in half"?!!?? FUCK! And he's still going!? That's what you call passion. Impressive stuff as always...

where i can watch full video. because it looks like only one part.

Dave tate is fucking awesome

I LOVE THE INTRO SONG

Man this happened years ago. The EFS Compound is wayyyy different now, then it is in the video. But badass video none the less.

that was awesome

extraordinaire exercice

how did Dave sustain the ripped calf injury?

love dave tate!

RIP Dave Tate

Motivated like fuuuaarrrrrrrrrck!

What kind of bar is at 3:20? and is it available for purchase on elitefts.com?

CT WITH TWO VIDEOS!

Matt krocs squats are picture perfect....

since when does t nation have a youtube wtf lol nice!

For all you idiots talking about being ripped that is like saying an offensive lineman isn't ripped. It's not going to help him get the job done. Because Matt Kroc, seen in this video, is shredded

Tomorrow would be a leg day (squattin a massive 45lb on each side), but I've got 2 back to back 5K's to run, lol. In all seriousness, I'm a lean guy, but I have mad respect for guys that can lift weight like that. If I ever tried to hold that weight for a second, my spine would be crushed. Props you damned monsters, props !

That´s what im talking about

Passion is the number one thing!!!! Hooooo

Damn Dave looks so young here.

How about CT?

This is my PR soundtrack starting at 4:46 "Passion fucking trumps everything"

sometimes i dont even want to read the comments, they always seem to ruin the video.. and yet i always end up scrolling down for some reason.. i hate myself for doing that.

awesome song at the end blue oyster cult???

He's actually just a third string "pro" strongman who relies on shock value to get views. Clint Darden is the same tier (by his own admission), but he actually gives good advice.

0:45 a Darkthrone T-shirt!

i learned that the hard way lol

4:20 bahaha it took me a while to realize wtf he was doing and why nobody was laughing!

0:44 Vin Diesel trains there?

Give me an Al Kavadlo type that can handle his own bodyweight any day. That is real strength.

It's a box squat with a safety bar. Try it and see how you can do. I doubt you'll do well with it...

This is actually a really old video resubmitted.

I interests me that all these guys have chosen virtually a sumo squat.

Moar vids!

cool matt kroc and vin diesel in the same gym

You can't be serious!

Unfortunately it's not his idea... Has been around for many many many years.

Do you know what a "weight class" is? You won't have a visible six pack when you compete in the super heavyweight class. Lifters in the 198 class, for example, don't look like "fat slobs." Also, their injuries are the result of years of elite level lifting; for the most part, injuries are rare in weight lifting. Finally, "relative strength" isn't "real strength," it's one form of strength. What you like isn't best just because you like it.

Please use punctuation.

Needs more cowbell

Elliott is the man, what are you talking about?

Hoge twinz fo loif nigaz taken ova dis worlt!

shorter range of motion

Why not just "breath into your belly"? He tries to make it seem like something that will cure cancer. Just a little to much in my opinion.. Anyway, many people seems to buy his weird nonsense, the "you're so wise" to "this is bullshit" ratio in his videos commentsections is high as fuark which I find weird. Sorry for the long post.

And in regards to vin diesel comments that dude is weak as FUCK. I seriously doubt vin diesel could squat 405. And I wouldn't put his dead anywhere over 500lbs. Bench maybe mid 3s. But alas. He's a movie star not a powerlifter

+Jeff Mustard >vin diesel Dun kno about the legendary broscientist christian thibadeau

I would literally shit an organ if I went heavy on these

Passion or stupidity? I just hope that the teengers that are going to watch this video don't try to emulate he's training. I prefer being 100 times weaker than this guy but being able to walk and don't feel pain, and also having a better shape than him..

With no idea what he is talking about in very many cases, for example his deadlift tuorials, how benching doesn't grow your pecs and all that ballsack breathing bullshit..

Ok with the list of injuries...maybe I won't always listen to Tate hah.

It was good until 5:22 when that ridiculous narration kicks in, funking cringe-worthily cliche.

Good lord, people glorify lifting weights so much. This is so fucking cringe worthy.

not a single lean person was seen...

You cant squat A2G with the low-bar squat. Unless you want to end up in a wheelchair.

They want too be strong not cross dress lol

lean is not strong, nor functional.

Squats or reverse sumo deadlifts. Olympic lifters are 300x more impressive than these guys

Back in the day, men were admired because they just did what they did. Now, every guy that has a big day at the gym needs to take a movie of himself, play it on youboob so all the teenagers can admire him. He probably watched himself do it 100 times with great satisfaction. All the real men are now extinct if clowns like this are all that're left.

This is Dave Tate. He's venerated in the powerlifting industry and generously puts out regular free information which has taken decades of lifting to acquire. Do some research first mate before spouting ill informed, reactionary opinions.

This is one of the "back in the day" lifters. Do you know how long Dave Tate has been powerlifting?

The voice over deal is SUPER gay. Those #s r not very impressive. For what a 242 lifter? I benched 570 at 198 and pulled n squatted over 600 as well. In double ply gear of course. And im not a 'great lifter' I mean when zahir, a 242 raw lifter can damn near best that double ply total, need to rethink what is strong. Based on those #s his raw squat maybe 700ish. Raw dead 700 and raw bench 400 to 450. For a whopping 1850 raw total @242??? I don't even think it needs to be said. When wr's are 2200+...ok ill stop lol

Jeff Mustard so with a 570 bench at 198 you must be a top level competitor at the international level. I'll bet you've got all kinds of trophies.
