[@chrismosleythept2361]

Yup! Great at interviewing people.

[@samuelvicinanza604]

Let's go Pete!

[@blakemoore1905]

Pete your getting good at interviewing people and keeping the conversation fluid this page is gonna get big. KZbin gains

[@PeteRubish]

Thanks brother, hopefully it gets even better over time!

[@tarzanizcool]

Bro this shit is so funny, Pete comes out here swinging with heavy hitters like “what’s your favorite color” and “what’s your favorite snack food”

[@PeteRubish]

The favorite color question was asked in the Q&A, I just threw the snack question in for fun lol

[@tarzanizcool]

@@PeteRubish Made for a great Q&A man, gotta keep it light sometimes

[@russellmuscle7434]

Getting very fkn personal and pulling no punches

[@Heroin666]

these r the questions that matter most

[@Dylonysus]

Great way to break the ice and set a chill tone for the whole interview tbh

[@jeffreyrubish347]

I recall driving Pete and John to the airport for a meet over 10 years ago. Didn't see John again until he came over to buy some dumbells we had on Craigslist a few/several years ago. He'd never been to our house so he was happy to visit The Basement.

[@PeteRubish]

LOL yes, I remember that as well. The time we flew to West Palm Beach!

[@squatcurldeadlift7346]

You're a cool dad, always commenting under your son's videos

[@Bigramt]

This is Petes Father? Didn't check the surname Your son is a good man, you done a great job for sure!

[@justinwolz253]

I really like the genuine concern Pete has for john getting blood work and knowing his levels, definitely a real bro looking after his own

[@stk4622]

I was just about to comment something similar before reading this.. Petes a good guy

[@DNO_Fitness]

Of all the videos on KZbin this is the one I'm looking forward to most. Couple of 🐐's. Groundbreaking stuff. One of the best in the game asking what we want and delivering. Thank you Pete!!!

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you for chiming in brother! Plenty more to come!

[@Craze_Lifter]

Pete out here hacking the Algo 👀

[@PeteRubish]

Yes sir!! Plenty more to come!

[@TheDeathstag]

Really enjoyed this, Haack is absolute phenom.

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you! He absolutely is!

[@XanderVapulaBuehrer]

Commenting for the sake of the algorithm just for you, Pete! I used to watch your basement deadlift vids in college before hitting the gym. Been following you for a long time and to see the growth on a personal level you've made over the years is super fucking rad to see. Never would've guessed Pete would end up being the genuine, hero good guy the sport needed back then, but I'm sure as hell glad you are!!!

[@tskennym]

Subbed! Long time fan, been following you since the misc days brah. Love the evolution of the channel. You have a really unique perspective in interviews, you are one of the great lifters of our generation and you can tell you are widely respected by anyone who takes powerlifting seriously. Keep it going Pete!!

[@TaycroTC]

OP is a ph........nevermind,

[@icecold3426]

Yehea lets go! you were my first deadlift inspiration Pete, guys like you and channels like this have helped me so much in my strenght progress along with ton of other people, hope this channel goes a long way

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you brother! I appreciate the kind words!

[@brandonshannon5122]

Next thing we need is the Pete and John workout

[@PeteRubish]

If I can get him to stop in Tennessee, absolutely!

[@ciscokidcspf]

@@PeteRubish Come to socal Pete!

[@tariqo16]

Brooooo Pete went from no blood work to being able to read the whole thing and analyse it that’s great progress

[@cdub4834]

Pete I’m just loving your content recently man. You’re starting to be my #1 go-to podcast for this industry. I really think your guests appreciate that you stay far away from drama. Keep it up bro!

[@101Websurfing]

I luv the transparency on the gear usage. I’ve always done bodybuilding, but it’s interesting to hear what the powerlifting community is doing. I agree, Var is awesome for strength gains….

[@JordanPrater]

Pete is such a great guy. Phenomenal coach, amaxing lifter, and is doing a great job at bringing us some high quality interviews! Thanks coach!

[@travis3430]

Pete's now the Rogan of powerlifting podcasts.

[@baldmammoth]

Biggest breakthrough of the entire podcast: John Haack is banned from Venmo. Thanks Pete for bringing this info into the light. In all seriousness though, great podcast Pete. Been following you for years and I'm beyond stoked that you're uploading on KZbin now. Much love from Cookeville TN!

[@clarkkant5322]

Awesome interview, Pete! Didn't know you two were so close back inthe day

[@lewiswilliams4224]

Dude - great interview!!! I’ve followed you for a long time, great to see you killing it on YT, and getting your health in order!!

[@deadlift4life1]

Probably the best single YT video ever. 2 absolute Legends.

[@altemple5322]

Pete, been a fan of yours for a while, this interview with John and the bouncer stories brought me back to when I was younger and made me laugh out loud. Keep up the great content, you just got a new subscriber

[@xobonobo4903]

You should make a video on John Haack’s deadlift and/or Alexander Bromley’s reaction to it

[@PeteRubish]

Can do brother!

[@lou8737]

Imagine getting tackled by John Haack then he proceeds to wet willy you - ultimate violation 🤣 Great interview Pete !

[@sethyy12]

$5000 for one night as a bouncer?? Even $1500 is crazy Pete. God damn, the most I ever got was $200, but I was a bouncer in a super small town in BC Canada.

[@PeteRubish]

We would get CRAZY long lines for Wisconsin Badger football games. People would literally throw any amount at you to get into the bar!

[@sethyy12]

And then there’s the bar I worked at , $5 to get in when it’s busy lmao

[@keletodyer1487]

[@houstin7866]

Thanks to both John and Pete for this type of content! It’s amazing to learn all this type of stuff from lifters of your caliber!

[@ryansiddell]

[@PeteRubish]

Yes sir! Great city!

[@wesleyhovis3484]

What a great interview and just a couple of down to earth guys. Congrats both of you on all your accomplishments.

[@hughjass3432]

[@chrispylikeylifty8249]

Great to hear you both talk so openly about steroid use. Really enjoying listening to these interviews.

[@tmapplesgaming2271]

Awesome stuff Pete, really like your interview style and how you input into the topics also. Keep it up!

[@jenmelberg-731]

Been waiting all week for this!!!

[@brandonyoung4910]

Haha thanks for asking my powerlifting or RuneScape question!

[@alexcross6590]

Two of the GOATs. Great video!

[@lekooz2301]

Seeing him hit with the "What's your favorite candy?" so quickly was how I knew this interview was gonna be great.

[@goatofdeparture]

This was way more insightful that I could’ve imagined. Great stuff Pete, shout out to John

[@paddyoosullivan]

Brilliant Podcast Pete👏. You should put these podcasts up on Spotify as well. Crazy that John completely cycles off test in-between meets & doesn't just maintain on a TRT dose. Even crazier he can keep a mid 500lbs bench while off cycle.

[@secondthought2]

Imagine if u r consistent and add just 10 pounds on your bench per year, In 15-20 years you could be there too, and he literally said he's 18 years into this.

[@hansneggs]

Yeah. Honest work stays. It’s more than just strength !

[@mariusastier8138]

He got cut off when he was talking about what he take for pct tho... Would be curious to know

[@Ian.lifts.]

Yes.

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you!

[@justinm678]

Pete as much as I'm loving this new content, this reminded me of freaking delicious foods. Any chance of that making a comeback?

[@SweatiestToes]

Man, I'm really enjoying this series of podcasts, Pete!

[@clee4619]

I believe Kaz is from Wisconsin. I would think he would get some consideration for strongest guy from the state lol.

[@AndrogenReceptor01]

Let’s gooooooo! Super excited for this one!

[@PeteRubish]

Thank you buddy!

[@hushai5154]

Great natural interview skills, mix a few top bodybuilders in their. Nick Walker comes to mind, very humble guy does an open honest interview.

[@hairyape_8103]

Not sure if it is disadvantages for you to put the time stamps of the topics as far as revenue goes, but if not it would be greatly appreciated.

[@3ncore706]

John haack is def the most popular lifter for good reason.

[@Nickademaslifts]

He’s not the most poplar but he should be

[@3ncore706]

@@Nickademaslifts At least as far as powerlifting goes it seems most people respect john haack as the GOAT of our generation. Now if youre talking about lifting or fitness in general then yeah its sad that a lot of fuckboys on SARMS who barely bench 225 can get more recognition than John.

[@Nickademaslifts]

@@3ncore706 he’s the goat forsure. Just in terms of popularity guys like Jamal browner Russ swole are more popular because of KZbin and Instagram. Haack hasn’t been a huge name for long even though he’s been smashing records for awhile

[@johnnickless2529]

Pete you are great interviewer. This was entertaining.

[@konyecstrength4life]

This was such a chill, engaging interview. Great stuff! Very enjoyable 🥇👍🏻👏😃

[@fuadhamdan2060]

Great video, keep up the great work Pete.

[@KillianDefaoite]

I absolutely loved this interview!

[@travisdeming9416]

45:10 I think John should hit a 800lb squat 600lb bench and a 900lb deadlift in the 198 class and move to 220 and see what he can do

[@jok2177]

I like john very humble person with correct technical and form and not a facking lier like all youtubers .

[@mrwizardlizard965]

Strength and lifting is a lot more popular now, me and my powerlifting buddies in college get recognized every single time we go out by random people from the campus gym at school

[@OleSevers]

Love these podcasts bro

[@RideWithJosh696]

530 bench would be nice to have on a cruise lol. Damn.

[@Nickademaslifts]

He doesn’t cruise. He hops completely off.

[@aronhegedus]

With interviews don't be afraid to make them too long. Longer better in my opinion, just put timestamps and let conversations run

[@ericcartmansstrengthandpow5960]

John Haack is kew and all, but he can't rep 855 on incline bench without wrist wraps so I'm afraid he'll forever be stuck in that intermediate lifter category.

we're all striving for the 855 incline bench buddy!

Congratulations on such a Great and down to earth interview Pete :-)) What's your view on how John manages to get so ridiculously strong on so little gear? Is it that he is some kind of Hyper responder made up purely of fast twitch muscle fibres and a strong as hell nervous system?
