Yeah. That was a bit surprising. 😊

Yeah bro I remember videos coming out comparing John to Norris and how if he ever went unnatural he’ll catch up to now setting WR’s and surpassing Jesse. It’s crazy because Jesse motivated me to go to the gym and then seeing John in 2016 ipf worlds is what kept me going after jesses health started declining because of his back

💪

thank you!

thanks. I try my best

more to come!

thank you!

1 in a billion genetics. The outlier of outliers.

Most world class bench pressers above 75kg/165 weight class don’t use a wide grip and arch. Look at all the top bench pressers above 75kg/165 lbs and none of them have a huge arch and wide grip. Pretty much proof that that style of benching doesn’t actually help much especially after a certain point.

@@Jmack7861 agreed. But most at his bw aren’t benching damn near 600. That’s why I was still astonished, and noted not even cheating.

@@SethAKPI most arent, but I’ve never seen anyone bench over 550 with a wide grip and big arch at any body weight

No arch bench, highbar squat, conventional deadlift. He does everything the hardest way possible lmao

But if he goes up to 220 he wil lift even more

@@borisesquilotromp89 agreed but do you see the people he has to go against in 220. I think he’d stay the best champion at 198

@@SethAKPI he just needs to fill out the 100kg class and he’ll do amazing. It was the same as 90kg class when he moved up. He had to fill out 90kg and he started breaking records again.

@@gregnajar fair point. I just think he’s great where he’s at and hasn’t gone to his max potential yet

@@SethAKPI I agree he still has work to do at 90kg. Once he gets 1,000kg or maybe 1050kg he will move up. The only lifts I see him getting stronger in are squat and bench. It’s looking like he’s reaching his ceiling on deads maybe only has 15-20kg more in him even moving up in weight.

hes already the goat in my heart

Maybe if Haaaaaack did low-bar squat, there would be a huge number boost?

@@dannytymus1652 Where?

@@RoyalCaoCao he mentions in the video he tried low bar and sumo but his joints make it uncomfortable and he wasn’t able to break it in. He also said he always felt stronger high bar so he sticks to it

it's a soviet smile

Yes he was on Ostarine when he went to the dark side. Probably only for about a year @ 82kg. He most likely started test, anavar, etc.. when he moved to 90kg class

@@dannytymus1652 I follow him, he never posted his cycle but he did say he was starting his cycle again for the showdown prep. Usually for powerlifting the most common thing is Test and Anavar. And some other things for estrogen blocking but I’m not well informed on these things so I can’t say forsure.

Nah they aren’t worth it. If you’re gonna go untested go big or go home. The effects are too weak but binding affinities are too strong to mix with AAS’ and AAS’ offer much more benefit

@@gregnajar the AIs aren’t considered PEDs, but especially in powerlifting they aren’t used much unless you get high estrogenic side effects. Estrogen is very good for both building muscle and strength, along with good neuroprotective benefits and keeping joints healthy. Test, anavar, and anadrol(most likely just during the end of a peak and during the meet due to high liver toxicity and how quickly it adds strength) are what he said in the interview and I wouldn’t be surprised if that is all that he’s used. Test and anavar are great for hypertrophy, and anavar also being a dht derivative is good for developing strength during hypertrophy and strength blocks, and anadrol adds a bit of water retention helping leverage along with elevated blood pressure(chronically is bad for you, but acutely will help performance) and it’s androgenic signaling helps increase strength very well. since anavar is a DHT derivative it actually will lower estrogen a bit on its own as well, and the test is either as a base or just for slightly more strength gains.

If you're still interested, Haack went into his cycle on Pete Rubish's channel

I think 175 is closer to 5’9 but i can’t be bothered to convert right now hahaha

Yap 175 he is

@anonymous was just giving the timestamp cause that's what people are looking for?

Muscles mass and strength are not the same thing. They complement each other but just because person A can have more muscle mass than person B, but that doesn’t guarantee that person A is going to be stronger than person B. The CNS is the main driving factor behind strength. You can have the genetics to be incredibly strong, but not necessarily even look like you are more jacked than your average gym Bro. Conversely you can genetically have the capability to become more jacked, but not necessarily posses the strength to go with the jacked look.

@@jermaineayivoh8263 great explanation !
