Gotta love how Rocky's back squat apparently went from about 185 to 500lbs at 60+ years old while also training for a fight.

Lol. Benna Fleck.

Lol I was waiting for Zack to realise that that old short guy was Naim... reaction did not disappoint

The Batfleck training montage impressed me when I first saw it, both in how little bullshit it contained relative to some movie training montages and how in shape Affleck looked.

the papst blue ribbon commercial has the best moment: instead of removing the plates, let's get a team of ten to pick the entire barbell off the floor and carry it away

The 315 strict press was Drago level lmao

I personally chose a gym with alot of fit people to get motivated. Going to gym with unfit people makes me feel superior without effort and makes me push myself less. Seeing someone outperform you on everything really drives you to improve yourself!

Just a bodybuilder casually pressing clarence's max deadlift

omg Benafleck, what a name! That one killed me Zack. Super fun video, glad I learned something along the way!

Ben Affleck's mysterious and unknown brother, Bena Fleck making an appearance

The Flintstones vitamins really helped Rocky get to the next level

Zack casually hanging out in the Minecraft realm, talking about weightlifting

Bit of input on the TRT front: depending on how often you inject, you want to swap sites as often as you can. Delts aren’t great, but it’s better than building up scar tissue by hitting just one area over and over. The needle they had in the movie is absolutely enormous, though. Looks like a damn drinking straw. I’d be hesitant to stick that in a horse.

one of my favorites is a little joke in It's Always Sunny in Philadelpha Frank is trying to get Dee ready for a boxing match and has her squatting for the first time ever. He's got 225 on the bar for her and gives the exact opposite of correct squat advice

Olympic champion, Yuri Vlasov was childhood idol of Arnold. He did a bit of weightlifting, then switched to bodybuilding.

I just imagine him casually watching that weightlifting scene in Rocky and goes: “so… probably elbow should be little bit higher” lmao

Actually, as far as I know Arnold competed in Power Lifting and even won some competitions. That's where he met Franco Colombo, who was a Power Lifter at the time. Arnold convinced him to move to Body Building. But at that time all Power Lifters knew the Oly Lifts. Re the split versions. When I was lifting as a kid, throughout the 80's everyone over 30-35 did split cleans and split snatches. My father changed to squat versions and kept it for the clean but moved back to split snatches. When he was younger his split snatches where beautiful. His hip was as low as when squatting, front thigh firmly on his calf and the hip just above the ankle. He's 77 now and still competing.

Benna Fleck

Hercules in New York was Arnold's first movie

I have no idea why but "Horrible technique on the kettlebell snatch." has me rollllllinggggg. Lmfao

Super entertaining vid! Always love seeing someone's perspective of their special interest on how it's represented in popular culture. Your obvious enthusiasm for weightlifting is contagious!

Zack's Joy when he realised it was Naim 😂so wholesome

"Yard Strength" could be the next CrossFit.

Nothing beats Rocky 4 training montage

Please do more. That was absolutely hilarious.

Absolutely a great video and commentary 🤙🤙🔥

Great video! And love the Pantera shirt!

Appreciate the Minecraft background and I'm so happy you didn't recognise Ben Affleck as Batman. Subbed!

great video! love the programming vids.

The Ben Uh-fleck one was great. Especially if you've seen his old PSA movie where he gets hooked on steroids.

As a throwing coach for track and field, that clip of Arnold doing track and field never gets old. No one knows what they are doing. No one holds the javelin right. The discus isn't flying through the air right. It's just Arnie in his prime and a director trying to figure out how to make him look good. Love it. Haha

Wow, the stuff we see in the movies isn't real? Who would have thought..... Honestly though, that training montage in "Rocky Balboa" is my favorite one in the entire series. A man far over his peak doing what he can to give it 1 last shot is something very relatable once you start to get older.

oh so you're a reaction channel now... - KZfaq algorithm

Add to the title "Weightlifter REACTS to " for maximizing viral potential.

The last one is ironsport gym in glenolden pa. I visited there about 6 years Ago. Great place. Steve if your watching im the guy from Mississippi who preordered the 4 xl shirts.

had not seen the Zane or Naim video. thanks for posting!!

ZACK! The t-shirt is on point!

You guys don't know about Hercules in New York? Came out *before* Pumping iron! Whole thing is terrible and amazing

that naim commercial was awesome!

Funny that Zane was the most convincing weightlifter!

arnold throwing his sweatshirt on the ground screaming "i dont know!" has Oh hi mark energy lol

It wasn’t roids. Drago was just getting his vax, like a good citizen

first time watching.....you got my attention with the Pantera shirt! \m/

Ah yes, Benna Fleck, my favorite actor.

Planet Fitness, judgement free zone, unless you're in shape, pretty strong or a bodybuilder. Then they'll judge the shit out of you.

Nobody noticed that the bar sleeve in the WW88 scene snapped in half with the plate still attached?

Blast from the past seeing that Iron Sport Gym ad again. The classic DYEL meme with his scowling face. A friend of mine had that on a shirt at least a decade ago. Now half the guys in my commercial gym wear DYEL merch and have never heard of Pulcinella because some dick stole a meme and turned it into a brand.

That clean scene from Rocky 6 hurts to look at. Glad im not the only one to think so.

Frank Zane still kicking it in San Diego. Does personal training.

It's pretty interesting. You can actually see the shift from the Press to bench ''press'' as the test of upper body strength by default from Rocky IV to the later movies of the franchise. Even back then, nobody taught that laying on a bench and pressing was actually a real test of strength.

love the last video. I didn't know it was a response to planet stupid all this time

5:26 "Who is this?" "I am Batman"

I love how the video went from over the top lifts made by legends that actually lifted really heavy and you can see that, even if they use fake plates, to planet fitness, to people actually lifting and making fun of planet fitness

Haha planet fitness showing anybody who's remotely experienced in lifting weights the door. Very legit.

Hey Zack did you watched Naim the movie? i’d love to hear your thoughts about it. Even klokov said he loved it the way it expressed the sport. And for the viewers; Naim commercial was about a bank, which offered quick loan processes. Script is: The guy naim lifts, owns money to Naim. And his brother saves him just in the nick of time by paying his debt with the bank loan.

Hercules in New York or whatever the name of the arnold movie was is hilarious. Love it

As a Turkish guy I didnt expect to see Naim Süleymanoğlu here. But I love it when I see him and this guy acknowledges him. That feels great

Great Video Zack and Alex! :) Love the Cringe that i get from old Arni Movies :D Greetings from Austria!

18:31...... The epitome of "REALLY?".😆😆😆 Thanks Steve Pulcinella!

they sure love to drop metal weights on the floor in these movies

Wouldn't those steel plates also destroy the concrete floor if dropper from overhead like that?

PANTERA TANK TOP HELL YEAH BRO GETCHA PULL

That weight.lifting movie from korea....as a Korean i didnt expect that one.....

I love the format. Minor feedback: Balance the volumes a little more next time. Sometimes I couldn't hear the video, and cranking the volume made your narration uncomfortably loud.

Reppin the pantera shirt. love it.

Ben UH-flek lol

Liked and subscribed for your Minecraft background

GQ wish they were this good 🔥

Quality content

Thank you for sabotaging our wonderful memories.. Well met 😉

They can def slo mo until the contact w the thighs, quick snap in to a deep long paused front squat position long pause, lots of blinking the sweat out of the eyes, hits the squat, another long pause lots of blinking, little translucent image of a training montage starts playing next to a close up of the face thinking about all that work, then bang, split jerk walk it up slam it down and cry. Boom 💥 masterpiece

18:20 Zack is already doing the heeeey like bjj aficionados.

Great video, so funny

Yoooo favorite pantera album zack? I see you reppin 'em If it's not im throwin a fit

14:29 Jesus christ Zack! You didn't have to obliterate my feelings.

Dude im Turkish and that suleymanoğlu commercial is the reason why i started lifting

Muy bueno, la biblioteca esta mojada👍

5:09 plates facing in.. 5:10 plates facing out lol

Real life Steve with the mine craft background

heyyyyyyy! someone has been watching daisy fresh

2:00 we actually do 95% of IM injections in the delt unless it’s over 1 ML

Love it

That Kristen Wiig scene was actually not comedy. It was from the second installment of Wonder Woman, and I think she was developing super powers or something.

OMG, no subtlety of the Bad-Soviet Red-Scare imagery. AmEriCa AlwAys sO HoNESt. 😆🤣🤣

Zack, what do you think about kettlebells? Kettlebell sports originated from Olympic weightlifting, as far as I know.

i mean, if the rocky 4 montage isn't what got you into lifting we can't be friends

Why didn't Seb include this clip as part of his Naim video?

Hey 😌👋 audio nerd here, I hope ur using the correct polar pattern on the mic because ur holding it backwards..... :) 💜 Love from AZ !! Just want ur audio to be top quality 😉🐼 on further inspection 9:32 u can see the setting and it's rejecting ur voice how ever many DB the mic is rated for ...

I really wanna go to iron sport gym now

Lol how did you not know that was Naim.

He has arrived my lord. Ben of Fleck

Thanks for the lols Here, take some algorithm

14:46 I knew that it was Naim just by the face.

18:35 I swear I thought the guy squatting was Eric Bugenhagen

Benafleck...sounds like a new stack.

Hell yah man pantera shirt!!!

zt lookin like a buttered biscuit

LMAO How did your guy found that ad for bank that had Naim in it? Even I forgot about that ad while I'm turkish

The safest places to inject intramuscularly are the glutes, the delts, and the quads, in that order. This is because you can basically guarantee you won't hit a major nerve or blood vessel if you go glutes or delts, whereas basically every other muscle group has big arteries or nerves you might hit. In my opinion there is no more pain in a delt injection than a glute one, although having post injection pain is easiest to manage in the glutes. I personally wouldn't inject a suspension anywhere other than my ass because of the increased abcess risk using water suspensions rather than oil carriers, easier to cut an abcess out your bum cheek than have a rotting hole next to your shoulder joint.

only thing i know that can be done in the delt although controversial. is trying to hit peak values of hGH. most inject into stomach but sometimes guys want that peak IGf-1 values.
