That was awesome bro. My squadron had the meet up on the big screens during our shift. When you hit 600 we all fucking lost it. Insane bro, and congrats.
“Poor” leverages are somewhat overrated . Yes having long arms will theoretically make it more difficult to bench since you have to go through a longer range of motion. But mass beats leverages. Try to pack on as much mass as you can on to the prime movers that are involved in a bench press to help yourself out.
John's a legit world-class level freak. He may not look like Eddie Hall, but the dude defies physics. I wouldn't use him as an inspirational reference lol.
@@jermaineayivoh8263 leverages matter more than mass in my opinion. You can pack all the mass on you can, but soembody out there is just built for it and can leverage it up with ease. The lever length matters more than the force applied to the lever.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 Have you ever thought that longer levers mean more mass that can theoretically be packed on. Mass moves mass. People with short femurs for example have better levers to squat more weight. But if someone else has femurs that are 3 inches longer (and therefore theoretically worse levers for squatting than the guy with shorter femurs) thats 3 more inches on which he theoretically could pack more mass onto.
When you just wanna move weights on your peaked top sets that John is easily moving around on a fully tapered down deload session before a meet...the G.O.A.T. kind of things
Totally had the brain fart down command issue at my last meet too…on my opener 😅 not how I was hoping to start deadlifts! Loooved watching you compete! Great job!
Practice commands and make sure your lifts in training are to competition standard. Open light, they shouldn’t be part of your total anyways. Take what’s there on the day.
On your first meet, have fun and try to go 9 for 9. You'll be nervous, but once you get a meet or two under your belt, you'll have experience to deal with the multiple nuances meets present. An experienced handler/coach is a huge plus as well. And do what John advises, always practice the commands and do every training lift to competition standards to program your motor skills for perfect execution. Again, training with experienced powerlifters is a huge plus as you can absorb their experience and be more confident that you are executing each lift to perfection. For my first meet back in 1984, I was a mental mess, but my coach (who had a 1900 total) made it an incredible experience as I went 8 for 9 barely missing my last deadlift due to fatigue from the excessive nervous energy waisted.
Question John. I know AI training apps are slowly growing and will probably continue to do so more and more in the coming years. The other two that I know of and have tried are Sheiko Gold and Juggernaut AI. If I heard correctly on Bromley’s podcast it’ll start at $14.99 which more than twice as cheap as Jugg and I think still a little cheaper than SG. If you are familiar with either of those two apps I’d like to know how Evolve AI will differ. Obviously the training style will be different to a degree. Is there anything else you can bring up at this time or in the Q&A you’re looking to do? Thanks.
You mentioned retaining more water from the testosterone. Do you use an AI to water cut? I know that it is fairly common to use 1mg of anastrozole 8 days out such that the non-suicidal nature of it will cause estrogen to rebound on meet day but will keep estrogen low while cutting water.
In your opinion, what do the powerlifting community and top level powerlifters need to do to grow the sport so that the pros can really make a good living off competing and endorsements/sponsorships? It’s been amazing to see some of the top strongman competitors make that shift over the last 10 years.
Well the IPF getting rid of exorcist archers was a big first step, if the other feds will follow that will help make the sport not be such a joke. Also having shorter meets because watching people max for 8 hours is very boring let's be honest. If they were to divide the meets into a women only day and a men only day that could help cut down on the time length. Maybe also having 2 platforms could help? Or even just showing a recording, I know many strongman fans cry about WSM not being livestreamed but again most people would find 8 hours straight of strongman boring, so they record it to edit out the boring lifts. Or maybe they could have it live but have each lift done a different day just like how the World Series or NBA finals are done over the course of multiple games. Finally they just need to promote the sport, they need to put up ads for meets and start hosting them in arenas or convention centers instead of gyms
Greatest powerlifter of all time
You must be really new to powerlifting , and havent did you homework
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 who’s better in your opinion? Maybe dbell or atwood
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 the sumo twinks don't count
@@mel-ju7kp none because john destroys them in dots, ssj bobb is coming tho
Greatest ever
Still amazed you made a 903 lb deadlift move like that. Inspiring stuff, John.
Now it’s your turn in a few weeks
Camera is crystal clear! Looks great! And you had 925 (420 kg) in you for sure on the last deadlift!
40secs ago Pete rubish I‘m a big fan! Rubish rows all day long for a big dead
Still casually benching a head-turning DL. 🐐
Time for a glorious off-season
Yes it is! Looking forward to it.
That was awesome bro. My squadron had the meet up on the big screens during our shift. When you hit 600 we all fucking lost it. Insane bro, and congrats.
The way that 600lbs moved off the chest was wild
That bench is insane no matter the bw but with under 200 its unreal!
Definitely! But he’s not under 200lbs anymore, he competed in the 100kg
The fact John is so good at bench gives me hope. Doesn’t look like he’s built particularly well for it. Long arms etc but still the best by far
he's not built for any lift he's a fucking menace

Bangers playing in the background as usual
Great job brother, can't wait to see you hit 1055kg at 90kg.
I'm really beginning to think John has no limits. Absolutely insane, well done 💪🏻
oh snap made it into the background, you looked very ready to have a great day Saturday ! glad to see you get that 600 bench !!
Are you going to also film your off season I’d love to see it !
Yea, I will be. Not sure yet what kind of format I want to do. I have some ideas for a few series as well
truly built different, constructed uniquely, crafted unconventionally, assembled unorthodoxly, made disparately, compiled unusually
When you just wanna move weights on your peaked top sets that John is easily moving around on a fully tapered down deload session before a meet...the G.O.A.T. kind of things
The GOAT. You are an incredible 1 in a billion athlete.
Yeah imagine every african jungle kid has the oppurtunity to train and eat perfekt. There will be a lot more good powerlifters and bodybuilders
That 600 bench was perfect, why the red cross?
Nice John. You did great, also you’re videos are getting better every time.
Helped I had Doohan film the meet
I can’t wait for that 220 bulk meet.
Looks like a "casual RPE 8" 903lbs deadlift there
For your Q&A:
How much calories do you eat to maintain your weight?
How do you cue your upper back for squats? Something like scapula retraction etc?
Nice job man...and to think you had more in the tank on the DL, too. Awesome stuff.
GOAT, not just because of how strong you are but because you are strong and pull conventional
John is one of the lifters of all time.
been saying this for some time now, ppl didnt believe me.
@@rfyaaful This was definitely a powerlifting meet in 2022
Totally had the brain fart down command issue at my last meet too…on my opener 😅 not how I was hoping to start deadlifts! Loooved watching you compete! Great job!
gifted from above. even hard work can lead to this level of strength.
That song dropping on your 3rd squat 🤌
Man just pulled George Leeman’s best at MY bodyweight 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Exceptional lifting (and from from Jamal too).
Any plans to revive the dip into U105 strongman...?
Do a local meet and just do the bar for squat and bench and then 920 deadlift 💀
That would be hilarious
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
1000lb club, 45/45/920
600lbs competition bench at his body weight is insane. This guy is an alien.
One of the powerlifters of all time
Absolutely incredible
Might be your best video - congrats on the great meet! Good luck with your move back to WI
Incredible. Thanks for sharing, John.
What was the 1 red light for the 600 bench for? It looked clean to me.
Can’t wait to see what you could total when you get into 308+ class.
Why u guys want him to get fat??? Let him around 200
@@alessio7375 it was just humor. I wouldn’t think he would ever get that big.
Great time watching you, meeting you and seeing how proud your fam was watching you. Love the energy. Keep it up, it was awesome.
I need John’s Spotify asap
Nice Job!! Greatest Powerlifter💪
INSANE
Congrats man!
You are unreal bro.
Congrats John, awesome performance! Question, after moving so much weight do your muscles get sore after or is it mainly fatigue.
I wasn't sore that night, but the next day my whole posterior chain was pretty wrecked.
@@MHB30 Not surprising after those squats and deadlifts, time to get some well earned rest!
Gratz on the 600lb bench, looked fairly comfortable
How will your off season programming change from meet prepping?
Congrats! Appreciate the honesty. Now's a good time to get blood work and get a baseline before increasing the supps
P4P Greatest Powerlifter in history! 🇺🇸
I have my first competition in 5 days. 183 tested weight class. Going for 450 squat 330 bench 625 deadlift. Any advice ?
Practice commands and make sure your lifts in training are to competition standard. Open light, they shouldn’t be part of your total anyways. Take what’s there on the day.
@@MHB30 you da man my guy
let us know how it goes man

Good thing you chugged fight milk and energy balls.
Fight milk to make weight. Energy balls to put it back on.
Way to go brother! Congratulations!
Bro you are the best by far and so humble! Congratulations

This videos are pure gold, great performance John. Does the cut hit your squat the most? You didnt shake this meet
He didn’t cut to 90kg for this one
Damn. The best power lifter only has 20k subs
amazing. were you off da perc?
Awesome.
Love that intro.
nice man good job, that gyno tho...
11:42 damn look at hunter on the left
John it may be cliche but would consider doing a full day of eating type video
Amazing job!
ty for ur content!
always like and comment every video and for sure subscribed
Can’t wait to see you at 220
Great job!
I DO NOT BELIEVE HE IS FROM EARTH WOW!!!!
Every meet is your "best meet yet" since you're always pushing your records lol
Do u just quit the supplement’s cold turkey? What does that do to your mental health?
The Goat
Where'd you get the yellow beanie
Proven strength app, what is the difference from Juggernaut ai?
Huge Inspiration, those lifts are absurd at that BW
sick dude
Do you have an idea of what you’d like to aim for once making the jump to 220?
870kilo deadlift, very sick
When you finally compete at 100Kg, what will your training weight be? 105kg to 107kg?
Can you talk about your new AI app in depth/make a video on it?
John, what molecule is tattoo'd on your right upper pec?
Leucine
Deadlift looked so strong

Four times bodyweight squat will be tough but I think you can get it
Yeah, but no 800# squat so was it really a good meet?
This guy compete with high bar squat ?
MOOOORE!!!
Bravo
first song?
God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
🐐 period say no more 🫡 respect 👍👍👍
goat.
My goal are to lift your numbers when you were natty 💪🏼
How did he get a ❌ from his right side judge on first squat? How much lower he want him to go?
I think that right side judge red lighted All of jamals squat attempts. Maybe just an asshole judge.
The 410kg dead is ridiculously easy. Do i even lift.
Maybe you give your best performance whenever you injure your quads???
What else do you have to accomplish for you to feel comfortable calling yourself the goat?
Bruh when the 800lb squat coming 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ cos when that comes it’s game over.
i need code bilbo for youngla
lb for Lb the strongest ever
Don't suck!
Beeeeeaaaast 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
You play video games or what?
The real dream is not you at 220, but you as a 308+
