Donnie is looking great! Deleted my IG a while ago but he is one of the best follows. Have gotten so much good info from him over the years.

@jujimufu Ай бұрын

Some of the things he says is so completely put of the box but not woo woo or suspicious. I gotta get him to talk about what his "get weaker intentionally" after he retired strategy he used. It blew my mind first time he shared it. More to it than just what I'm saying here but yeah. Love Donnie and his ideas.

I remember watching Donnie Thompson circa 2011 on Mark bells channel when he was squatting 1200+ lbs. Great to see him still moving weight like nothing

Awesome video. The bowtie that Spud and Donnie made was a game changer for my bicep tendonitis.

@oskartokacz6854 Ай бұрын

Great vibe. Squatting together like that is basically a spiritual experience. I used to do box squats every Friday with some friends and we would always go heavy and afterwards we would just destroy our legs with leg press, leg extensions, front squats, lunges, bodyweight squats etc (maybe not all in one workout ha). There is just something about doing it together that makes it so much better...

Did the matador bar feel a bit awkward on your post ex chain and also I jeevr knew about the #'s on the plates until today, 100's inside everything else , outside , as always your collaborations are fire, and I too share your passion for working out and living this lifestyle. I'm not an English major lol. Much love

Donnie’s gym reminds me a lot of Juji’s barn gym when he first moved to his current home.

Big man's bicep is just shredded I'm always so scared of that happening. Got tennis elbow now at first I thought "that's it I did it detached my bicep". After seeing his here I thought "that's it more reps not more weight".

Tried to buy the bar online but never made it to production. I have a crushed spine so would be great to squat without pressure on spine. Any chance of getting a design spec of it so i can get it made local?

Am I the only one shocked by Levi`s foot-placement? How does he squat in a half split?

@koleary1798 Ай бұрын

I'm guessing that for the most part he squats in a squat or at least briefs? Never tried them, but to my understanding they make it so sitting back into a squat is more optimal for max weight, and a wide stance makes it easier to sit back, plus minimises the ROM needed to hit full depth.

$85 in 1985 is equal to $246.73 (according to the editor of this video lol). that means that the dollar has lost 2/3rds of it's value in 40 years... given the fact I was planning on living for the next 40 years or more, this is quite depressing
