+NinJaTrainee Seriously, right? Glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on that. Ref made Nadeem wait so much longer for the "start" and "press" commands.
+NinJaTrainee The commands on Joe's 3rd bench was actually fine. It just looks like a touch n go cause the bar was still sinking into his chest. Commands on Nadeem's 3rd tho was just complete bullshit
+Asif Munir But shouldn't the refs wait until the bar is at a complete stop? I'm not sure about the rules at that meet, but it would seem logical that the bar had to be under complete control at the bottom? =/
NinJaTrainee Well just read the ipf bench press rules and it says sinking onto the chest/abdominal area is not allowed because it makes the lift easier. So you're actually right. I've seen Mark Bell bench press like that (sinking onto the chest) but I don't know anymore lol
What about the gym mom part? When i think of a gym mom, Rheta West at Hercules gym in syracuse comes to mind because she actually lifts n doesnt do it for funzys on yt and instagram.
+Jackson Meade Lol, most the time the judges dont get paid and are volunteers (not sure if that is the case for a meet this big). But think about it, you do something a thousand times your bound to fuck it up atleast once. And its not like theyre competing for money. Rerax dude. Theres no way they can do it perfectly every time unless its a computer judging.
Plum it's not that difficult to make sure each contestant has to pause the bar for only 1 second. I didn't know they weren't even getting paid, but refs that can't even be consistent with judging shouldn't be a ref at all, whether they're playing for sport or money it just ruins it for everybody
When youre the person who gets struck by shitty commands then sure your day is ruined. But if you want to start firing refs that give shitty calls now and then? Well shit, we no longer have meets.
This is definitely my favorite video from you guys so far, it had a great story. Everyone loves a little friendly competition PLEASE DO MORE, just like this.
Great editing made this video your best, keep up the good work!! Really liked the commentary cut-ins during the competition. Wish you showed Nadeem's final look at the end.
Late to the party, have you rethought how you're picking your attempts? I know it's easier to say in hindsight but those were some massive jumps, especially the deadlifts after missing two other lifts.
Was there a reason why there was a significant difference on the ref's "press" call on Nadeem's 3rd bench attempt compared to Joe's? Great upload by the way, started out with a story about competition and ends up with support, great!
That first attempt in your first meet is always nerve racking. I did my first meet last month and I was first to squat in my flight. My hands were shaking like crazy.
That press command on the 3rd attempt for Nadeem on the bench was ridiculously long.I am all for it being long,but only if it is going to be universal,for all powerlifting,or at least a federation.But that is why I always train paused for the bench,with slightly longer pauses,to be prepared.
These guys are only 20/21 years old?! They look like 10 years older! How can one grow a beard like this with only 20 years? I thought I was somewhat strong for only being 19 years old, now I feel fucking weak...
my point is if you ever want to grind it should be your 3rd attempt in a competition. Bart is saying it shouldn't be and yet he grinds lifts all the time in training?Practice what you preach
For me this was an excellent incite into powerlifting never seen a meet before was awesome! deffo the judge was a bit slow on some of the calls! but great video!
Went straight to Nadeem's Instagram after this video....hahahaha, I know Bradley will have endless jokes Great meet guys, Joe looks like a WWE Superstar
This video is a guide on how not to approach a meet. rivalries happen and can be a great training tool/source of motivation. But come meet day the only thing that should be in your head is your performance, your attempts, your numbers. These guys are more concerned about the other guys performance.
+FitGranticus is he allowed to go up though? I mean he smoked his 3rd with the same weight so he obviously could've put another 20-30 pounds on. but I feel like the rules make a lifter repeat their weight for failed attempts.
This was by far the best way to watch this episode. Great filming of the fun rivalry.
Cliffhanger of all cliffhangers.
Thats BS. Nadeems third bench "press" command was ridiculously long especially in comparison to the rest
+KAGE Fitness agreed
Joe's 3'rd bench attempt, didn't even get to settle on his chest before he got the press command. Fucking refs not being consistent.
+NinJaTrainee Seriously, right? Glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on that. Ref made Nadeem wait so much longer for the "start" and "press" commands.
My thoughts exactly as well. Damn inconsistencies.
+NinJaTrainee The commands on Joe's 3rd bench was actually fine. It just looks like a touch n go cause the bar was still sinking into his chest. Commands on Nadeem's 3rd tho was just complete bullshit
+Asif Munir But shouldn't the refs wait until the bar is at a complete stop? I'm not sure about the rules at that meet, but it would seem logical that the bar had to be under complete control at the bottom? =/

Joe's third bench pause was like nothing!
+Rashaun Reyes it really was quick. unfortunately it's just another part of the sport :/
It wasn't even a fucking pause for shit sake!
The judge is a fucking idiot...
+Joe Spracklen so how much u pay the ref.
Nadeem is strong as hell hahahah i had no clue the dude behind the camera could lift so much! haha great video!
The differences in the pause timings for the bench was ridiculous, There really needs to be more consistency from judges.
damnn Joe lookin jacked- good work boys
+Silent Mike cant wait to see you compete man !
+Silent Mike thanks brutha can't wait for you to comeback to Barbell Brigade!
+Silent Mike Did you just call him ... Half ... Natty ... !?!?!??! OOOohhhhh
+NinJaTrainee no...
when geo said nadeem doesnt train properly i laughed
I know right,
+Collide™ CS:GO "nadeem always cuts corners" -geo
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ikr at least he knows how to deadlift
What about the gym mom part? When i think of a gym mom, Rheta West at Hercules gym in syracuse comes to mind because she actually lifts n doesnt do it for funzys on yt and instagram.
+Collide™ CS:GO When? :P
Christ. Nadeems 3rd bench was a 4 second pause and Joe's was touch and go...
this video was so awesome. thanks for filming this Barbell!
how the fuck are the refs not fired yet?
+Jackson Meade Lol, most the time the judges dont get paid and are volunteers (not sure if that is the case for a meet this big). But think about it, you do something a thousand times your bound to fuck it up atleast once. And its not like theyre competing for money. Rerax dude.

Both performed amazingly have nothing to be ashamed of and are both inspirational
This is definitely my favorite video from you guys so far, it had a great story. Everyone loves a little friendly competition PLEASE DO MORE, just like this.
Man those judges...Give press commands while bar are still moving on the chest and then proceed to with pause longer than the ipf on the 3rd attempt.
17:05 damn he left bart :(
Hahaha xD i didn't even notice that dude xD
+moosesjesus lol poor bart
+Aseeb Qazi I can totally see him saying that in his head lol
volty is jesus i
what is the song called playing in the background?. I think its from twista.
That Barbell Brigade family atmosphere is somethin' else man. Mad respect for the team/gym. - James
GREAT VIDEO. I like how you cut in interview clips and a bit of smack talk from the competitors and BB team.
20:27 I really wanna start power lifting but not alone that's why this part speaks to me but I really have no one to go down that road with, sadly
JOE'S ONLY 21?! WHAT THE FUCK
Right?
I THOUGHT HE WAS LIKE IN HIS EARLY 30S
+Alex Rodriguez they're only 2-3 years older than me but they look 10 years older 😂
+suga, yes please ikr and btw hi Suga, you should lay off the booze LOL
That strong man training tho
Churro's comment fucking made my day 😂😂
"this meet is very special for Joe and Nadeem because... they don't have good hair, their beards suck..."
What are qualifying totals for the teen 18-19 and the junior 148 class?
Nice ending, you guys are great !!!!! You all motivate me
Great Video ! Awesome motivation ! Does Nadeem still lift ? Thanks for sharing !
This is a great video, please do more like this!
Great editing made this video your best, keep up the good work!! Really liked the commentary cut-ins during the competition. Wish you showed Nadeem's final look at the end.
This video was awesome! I loved the narrative and the ending was really satisfying! Thanks for sharing! :D
Amazing! video so much love and bromance and the barbell fam supporting loved this video. Great job naddem and joe
best video ive seen on barbell brigade, good job
You guys should put KG along side your LBS... Would help us over here in the UK understand the weight :)
Late to the party, have you rethought how you're picking your attempts? I know it's easier to say in hindsight but those were some massive jumps, especially the deadlifts after missing two other lifts.
Im thinking of doing a powerlifting comp soon!
Good luck
Thanks :)
Always MOTIVATING!
Fuck !! XD i shouldn't have checked nadeems instagram before watching this xD i gave everything away for myself xD
+LeMiserable22 i saw him bald on Bradleys snapchat LOL
+LeMiserable22 Good job. You gave it away for everyone else.
+SONICR i didn't say anything xD it could have been a photo of joe being bold xD Peter Selie gave it away xD
Sorry brah meant to tag him
+SONICR that's alright :)
awesome vid. good job both!
Dang dude these guys are hella strong! ! ! Barbell Brigade best gym in the world!
Does anyone know what song kicks in at about 3:56?
Was there a reason why there was a significant difference on the ref's "press" call on Nadeem's 3rd bench attempt compared to Joe's? Great upload by the way, started out with a story about competition and ends up with support, great!
Love Mama Bear. So great the support between the BB family.
That first attempt in your first meet is always nerve racking. I did my first meet last month and I was first to squat in my flight. My hands were shaking like crazy.
That press command on the 3rd attempt for Nadeem on the bench was ridiculously long.I am all for it being long,but only if it is going to be universal,for all powerlifting,or at least a federation.But that is why I always train paused for the bench,with slightly longer pauses,to be prepared.

I thought I was somewhat strong for only being 19 years old, now I feel fucking weak...
Middle eastern genetics bro
What are your lifts ?
Brandon is one amazing cinematographer.
5:10 did geo just say someones train improperly...
nadeem going to catch up with that extra 11pounds. Awesome battle boys, I really enjoyed this vid!
'You don't want your 3rd attempt to be a grinder' from Bart the king of grinding in training sessions
Grinding in training is completely different from a meet...what's the point of this comment
my point is if you ever want to grind it should be your 3rd attempt in a competition. Bart is saying it shouldn't be and yet he grinds lifts all the time in training?Practice what you preach
Hey! what song is used in the background and what kind of music is that?
Great video 👍🏽
great video!!!
When Joe did his 3rd attempt deadlift, he got 1 red light, can someone explain why :P?
this was DOPE. very inspiring.
Why didn't u show the whole shaving????
What's that song at 18 minutes!? I use to know it, i forgot
OMFG!! That guy behind Bart in 8:33 is freaking trolling-around on his wheelchair. DAFAWQ!! XD
so what place did nadeem come, cos in bart and geos vlogs he had medals
Was Bradley Martin there supporting you Nadeem?........ Bro
What weight class do Joe and Nadeem compete at?
Strongman competition utube link pls.
What kind of belt is Nadeem using?
How tall is Joe? On deadlifts he looks massive. And he's 242
I wish I was more productive in the gym when I was their age. Gotta push myself as much as I can before I get too old.
Fucking Proud of Nadeem for pushing and fighting. He showed his true colors and that makes me respect him all the more. Really hope he sees this.
noooooo why did you end the video there
good job nadeem!!!!!! youre a beast
All them gyno gains 2:43
wuuuut, why wasnt the haircut shown?
This is a dope video
#FUCKNADEEM
#FUCKYOU
For me this was an excellent incite into powerlifting never seen a meet before was awesome! deffo the judge was a bit slow on some of the calls! but great video!
GREAT JOB NADEEM AND JOE
Good video!
Really good video
The main thing I took away from this video is that Nadeem is 20. He is fucking hacking life, killing it brother :D
9:40 that guy spotting Nadeem has a Flag Nor Fail hat on
Yo this shit was fucking dope and beautifully delivered, thank you guys.
Went straight to Nadeem's Instagram after this video....hahahaha, I know Bradley will have endless jokes
Great meet guys, Joe looks like a WWE Superstar
So you're saying Nadeem is the Jon Jones of Barbell brigade and joe is DC?
More Videos like this please :)
How tall is Joe Spracklin at 240?
Great job for both of them! RIP the nadeem beard
So this was around the same time when Nadeem was on steroids? (I’m coming from the video on his personal)
Did geo break her back?
whats the song at the begining?
this is so funny i love barbel because of nadeem and everyone
what happened to Alex?? 😔
3:47 what rivalry it's more like friendly competition.
And why is geo talking?
whats the intro song?
The call for press for both Nadeem's and Joe's third bench attempt was totally 2 secs apart..
8:34 the guy in the wheelchair using his legs to move? 😂 Im a bit confused LOL
Joe's 3rd attempt looked like a touch and go, theg barely made him pause. That's bogus after Nadeem had about a 3 second pause
This video is a guide on how not to approach a meet. rivalries happen and can be a great training tool/source of motivation. But come meet day the only thing that should be in your head is your performance, your attempts, your numbers. These guys are more concerned about the other guys performance.
dope video!!!!!
let's go nadeem!
Joes third bench pause was not even one second while Nadeems was close to 4 seconds.
saw the video got super hype. sucks I saw nadeem was shaven clean in Brads video so I kinda figured who won. still nice video tho.
nadeem is only 20?
honestly geo should not at all be able to share her opinion about another lifter.
fix your deadlift form and den talk about other ppl cutting corners
Did Nadeem HAVE to use his 2nd attempt weight for his 3rd squat? Or did he just choose to?
No you can add weight if you miss an attempt i think
+Ima WreckU He is not allowed to reduce the weight, but he could have chosen to increase
+FitGranticus is he allowed to go up though? I mean he smoked his 3rd with the same weight so he obviously could've put another 20-30 pounds on. but I feel like the rules make a lifter repeat their weight for failed attempts.
+Ima WreckU they are allowed to go up, but the general consensus is to not go up and just smoke it in the next attempt.
+Broteese oh okay.
good lifts and their so young!sky is the limit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn joe's deadlift with 666 gave me goosebumps. bad ass!
