Hi everyone and welcome! I am an IPF Powerlifter and Dad of two great kids sharing a little bit of what my world is all about. Join me as we get into gym equipment reviews and much much more!
Hey John, saw your performance at worlds. What a battle man. If I had to come in second. A 3 way tie is pretty epic way to go. Always big fan!

The brush hairs are brass which is softer than steel so they will not scratch the bar.

Do you find the stance to be too wide? I’m relatively short and am worried that my set of bumpers will force me to take a very wide stance
@jonathangarcia633Ай бұрын
The strange doesn’t bother me. I typically squat wider myself. I am also very short. 4’11 on a good day
@iang8169Ай бұрын
There is a narrow stance overlay that comes standard with the squat max .with the overlay you can use only 25 pound plates .so you need to go low in your squat , as far as you can go below parallel because ,at least for me , I can only do atg belt squats at 60% of the weight i can do parallel squats for the same reps ,so for me ,using 25 pound plates ,going close to atg is still heavy for me

What are your thoughts on powerblock dumbbells, to save money and space?
@jonathangarcia6332 ай бұрын
I’ve probably had every adjustable dumbbell on the market and haven’t found one that I liked more than a real dumbbell. I had the power block ones, but they felt very Jinky and I never liked the feel of them. It’s like a big rectangle that you shove your hand in and they’re very sensitive like there’s no way they can survive a drop.

Have you heard of the achievement apex power bar? They have a really cool and different type of knurling that feels so good and are really stiff too

Not a bench because his back needs to be touching the seat not strung up in the air so it doesn’t count or shouldn’t count because it’s a false rule that the weight lifters use

As far as i know, the assistance of a coach or a tool such as you demonstrated is directly against IPF rules. "Lifters may not have or use any form of assistance (from another person, or suit slippers, plastic bags, powder, etc.) to put on knee sleeves. Referees may ask lifters to demonstrate they can put on their sleeves without assistance."

Hey Jonathan! Loved the video man. Been following your journey since the seeing someone of your biggest squats reposted. I’m not currently using Instagram but I wanted to enter the giveaway. I want to win the SBD belt for the same reasons you mentioned in your last video. I tried my buddy’s 10mm SBD and it fit like a glove. Being a smaller lifter, I felt like it conformed to my body much better than the 13mm. Def felt like an upgrade I didn’t know I needed😂 Keep up the great work!
