I was at the gym last night and this kid who works out there had broken his arm. His right arm is in a cast but he still goes to the gym and does what he can. This kid was doing front squats, setting it up and everything on his own with 1 arm. That's dedication.

Big facts

I cant believe people put these guys down. Passion no matter what the sport should be admired. This is one sport where i truly see passion and hard work beating out many factors that make others athletes dominate. Look at where some of these fella's started, not one gave into what the world thought of them. Inspiration at its finest for any athlete. The people putting these guys down are the people who will never set a world record, never be a world champion and never understand what its like to make there athletic dreams come true. Im an olympic freestyle wrestler and these guys inspire the hell out of me! When my wrestling days are done i will begin powerlifting and i will attack it with same intensity i attack my training now! The same way these guys attack training and life! SO FOR THE HATERS! FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR ELBOW!

@@RS-xq6je Good question, but if you watch some of Eric's training footage from years ago, this was common with him when he did high bar squats with submaximal loads. He has since switched to low bar squats. I've seen him doing high bar with 225-315lbs for warm-ups and the bar was bouncing like this.

This is the best video that's ever been posted to the 'KZreads.'

I watched this before my lifts for Bench, Squat and Deadlift days and I felt mentally down and I ended up getting 235 5x3 for bench, 295 5x3 for squats and hit a hug PR for deadlift 345 5x3. It was all mental work. Thank you for the confidence.

First speech be like :'' I'm about to say it: I don't care that you broke your elbow!''😂😂😂

You do this to find out your true potential. You have to push beyond your physical existence to lift more than you ever could. The human body is capable of amazing things, especially under intense stress. When my father got caught under a stack of hurricane shutters I dug deep inside and with every fiber of strength I was able to move it slightly so he could get free. You think I sat there and listened to my tired body? Hell no. So Mark is on to something with this video.

The MOST motivating powerlifting video on youtube.

I just love the passion, rage and pain in their eyes when they are lifting heavy shit. This passion is unlike anything I have ever seen., but that's just my opinion.

Been coming back to this video for 4 years now never gets old

I have watched/listened to this hundreds of times. Still love every second

Powerlifting: The Mentality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely devastated by hearing of KK's loss. Looked at his videos before every deadlift session. Rest in Power Legend.

All of these videos have been apart of my life for 9 years now

Classic powerlifting video. Only the best. I come back to it every few months.

Probably the most motivating speech I've heard in my entire life

I am a Powerlifter and dis thing just motivates me to work more harder everyday

One of the most motivational videos out there . Keep coming back year after year

Excellent work Sampson! Grateful for the effort you spent producing this.

This video is my preworkout

"might as well be a fucking savage" I fucking love it

Your videos got me through high school, through college and life. Thank you.

10 years later I still occasionally revisit this video. This used to get be insanely hyped before a training session and it still does

This is one of the most badass videos I've ever seen

Love it... "the old wrestler inside of me wants to." Yep. I know that feeling.

I used to watch this video every day while I was bussing it to the gym from school back in the 12th grade (1st yr lifting), which was back in 2013-14. I'm now way more experienced and made alot of gains, and this still inspires me the way it used to back then.

Best video I've seen, really shows what we have to go through, pain is nothing.

For someone who doesn't have a PHD in exercise science, philosophy, or sport psychology...Mark Bell really hit the nail on the head. Awesome video.

WHO IS STILL LIFTING AND GRINDING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC, THUMBS UP👍💪

This is the greatest video for motivation, I listen to this during my work outs, gets me so fired up

What an awesome video...I have watched countless powerlifting videos on the youtubes over the years and this is by far the most motivational. I'm glad I don't have a bad elbow.

this videos fucking awesome.. this is actually what got me into powerlifting. so thank you, I've been opened up to the strength world and the way it's going I would never look back.

Well that made me feel like crap for not working out today...which in needed. Thank you!

Hell yes to part 3!!! My fav video!!

Its been on you tube for years and its still awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD DAMN! I JUST PLAYED THIS SHIT BACK TO BACK! TALK BOUT ...M O T I V A T I O N.

Best powerlifting clip ever. Cheers from Poland!

I listen to this whenever I need that extra drive during my training. This video has gotten me through a lot of tough sets.

8 years later I still watch parts 1-3 every day. We need part 4, sampson!

I feel like a savage when I deadlift... all 350 pounds of my 1rm lol.

I won't say all that strength isn't impressive. I can't say that powerlifters don't sacrifice or aren't dedicated. My only question is, is all of that strength practical? For some, maybe, but for as many as there are, I doubt it. Not to mention that there's no competing with all of the synthetic enhancements used in the sport, it's completely fabricated strength in a lot of cases. Also, I don't believe everyone is headed for pain and misery in old age, just those that chose to eat all of that processed garbage that's pushed down our throats.
