[@geralln]

The squats were fucking scary

[@peterkeleher]

shitting myself when he started going sideways

[@Damien567777]

yeah, needs to work on that walk out, squats themselves looked ok!

[@winterw938]

for the third squat, pete was like "I saw the Lord on this one"

[@winterw938]

respect. such a beast!

[@rerereremixxx]

faking hell that 3rd squat!

[@IISocratesII]

Yeh man after the rattling of the first walk out at that weight i never thought he'd squat that, but he grinded it out, props to him

[@benjaminx7822]

What a comeback

[@dvojevodavoditti]

7:44 AGE 17 PETE RUBISH, I would burst out with laughs and retry my squat lol

[@chadpurdy2485]

killing it Pete second place in the world is something to be proud of man. keep plugging away, you've got a lot of fans behind you, including myself..

[@Crazymax1]

The Pete Rubish from the basement days came back for that last squat. If they slapped a washer and dryer in the back, we'd have a new world record, guaranteed.

[@si_monster7365]

Damn that third squat attempt! Respect!

[@agencialeotours6251]

what rpe was that? 50?

[@BeastinFitness]

Very encouraging spotters, sounded like a great atmosphere! Good shit Pete!

[@joehegedus5790]

7:56 “Get errrrr done!” 😂

[@CoachEarl]

Joe Hegedus lolol 😂💪

[@Hellion6325]

I've watched this video before, but that 3rd squat still got me holding my breath lol god dayum

[@cellardoor8943]

that 3rd squat was a true rpe 10

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

If 11 was a thing, that'd be it. Lol

[@Hellion6325]

bro the walkout alone looked like rpe 12 lmfao

[@salmanhussain6863]

"I am gonna be the tortoise" Pete Rubish 2018

[@elvisitor]

Thats how you win in this game! =)

[@salmanhussain6863]

Colgate Max White hahahhahahahah. With the third eye

[@BasementBrandon]

Great job Pete!

[@christianvazquez1910]

You really gave it everything on each lift! Good job! Got chills watching the third squat because you put aside everything to walk it out and execute.

[@silverwarrior461]

Technically you beat Tee since he got a 2099.9 lb total haha. 2nd best in the world is absolutely incredible man, hopefully you can challenge Larry soon when your deadlift gets back to the mid 900's.

[@scrumpoxjnr]

Larry has gone up to 275 now so he's not likely to come back and beat that. Don't think he's interested in cutting down any more. So if you can get to 2170+ should get that all time and keep it for a while. Great thing to aim for

[@silverwarrior461]

Pete Rubish Didn't you beat him by 0.1 lbs?

[@silverwarrior461]

Tom Bugler That was my exact thought as well. I know Larry is gonna compete at 275 again at the CETC US Open 2018, and he is working to become the lightest man to total 2300+. So a new 242 lb total world record really is just a matter of time. Problem is that Larry is so far ahead of anyone at that weight haha.

[@scrumpoxjnr]

Silver Warrior Nah dude you can't beat somebody by 0.1lbs. Its all done in Kilos in increments of 2.5kg. If you're breaking a record you can take an increment of 0.5kg which is 1.1lb. That's the least you can win by. They totalled the exact same.

[@alexisvnc]

Tom Bugler they totaled the same but Pete was lighter so he's at number 2. Openpowerlifting.org is doing a great job actually. look it up

[@ThomasThorr]

absolutely awesome man. love watching you work. we'll see you with that record in a couple of years!

[@JordanMoffitt]

Great job brother. Been watching you compete for years, always a pleasure to see your hard work pay off.

[@jamesgillam6478]

Dude!!!! Finally 2,100!! Man you've been chasing that for a longgg time now! Happy for your bro 👍 what an awesome meet

[@UniverseAZ]

Great job pete ! You are back on track. Your determination is insane and i dont know what to say other then respect.

[@ghfjfghjasdfasdf]

Congratulations on all of your gains, Pete! Keep jamming along.

[@benolielandria2604]

"I saw the lord on this one" = needs to be on a tshirt

[@dravenmartinez3349]

Great progress Pete! Freaking Animal!

[@Jmack7861]

Bout time we got a video longer than an Instagram clip! Good job Pete

[@royg2222]

So impressive Pete! That third squat... omg... Still love your Deadlifts the best from that time in the garage.

[@r91325]

Great job Pete - you improve dramatically each year despite various injuries and obstacles. To be in the top three of all time within your weight class is a great accomplishment!

[@johnkratz6982]

Nice work Pete! Looking strong as hell man!

[@elvisitor]

You are a legend heard all the way to Sweden! Great work and you are a idol of mine! #teamsmallhands

[@jedrickgonzales4388]

You’re right, just patience! You got this man!

[@ericlarson3597]

Pete that last squat was fucking unbelievable. Great job grinding it out.

[@michaelwhaley2456]

Congrats on the progression. Good stuff Pete.

[@bartoszjagoda2877]

Congrats Pete, you deserve it!

[@forbesfoofighters]

When that dude yelled "GIT R' DONE" haha amazing performance though Pete. Way to fight for every pound.

[@fj4293]

dave forbes I would’ve laughed and probably missed the squat lmao

[@forbesfoofighters]

FJ42 that's what I was thinking too haha if somebody yelled that mid lift I would have been pissed tf off lol

[@pjIVprez]

dave forbes those guys get even me amped and I'm just watching the video lol

[@onlythefirstwill]

You are an incredible athlete Pete! Keep going.

[@DarkZeArts]

Can't wait for the cage again this year. I'll have to get another pic with you again this year haha. Good work this meet man this is what you've been working for.

[@apo75018]

What a comeback! Keep it up pete.

[@guylasharm]

It was awesome to see you lift at the meet!

[@masonreed9328]

dude you look amazing, your upper body has developed so much over the past couple of years especially your arms. Mirin hard

[@theovercomer2006]

Thanks for sharing Pete!

[@jbrown259237]

Great job Pete, 2100 is very impressive!

[@dustyyoung5054]

True warrior there big man.... Proud of your chipping away time after time. See you in ohio very soon!

[@xxFR12]

I love your mentality man keep at it bro youre an inspiring dude keep grinding life

[@PyroNonStop]

CONGRATULATIONS MAN!!

[@silatguy]

Great meet! Making great progress keep it up man

[@basedvisa]

you're the man pete

[@jordanbabcock9349]

Fucking great squat Pete. That last one was obviously nothing but sheer will. Those are the ones where everyone around is thinking "nope, that 2nd unrack was too rough, not getting it." What a fucking lift man!

[@fatboitino2]

This has me excited for my Deadlift session tomorrow

[@DCJayhawk57]

Amazing job, man! I love the determination on the squat attempts. I think 880 will be there next meet easily, seems like the back fatigue from the squats probably came into play. Since Larry's now doing bodybuilding for the time being, you've got a few months at least to take the #1 spot ;)

[@Bigramt]

My two favourite lifters currently are Tom Martin and yourself. Would love to see you guys compete against one another, or train together!. Two animals with monster conventional pulls! Fair play with that 3rd squat! Takes a lot of balls and heart to attempt that again!

[@wappaholic]

Great job Pete, keep it up!

[@TommyGun8142]

Looking strong bro

[@salmanhussain6863]

Congratulations Pete

[@Idiotsincarshere]

Absolutely incredible. And only 12 years training. Crazy.

[@mpy626]

Absolute animal pete!!!💪💪💪💪

[@ApeSlayer]

It's always seemed that quads were your weak point. You'll have an even higher total this year. Good shit, Pete.

[@MrJOSETACO]

that was an impressive comeback on that squat.. you're a fucking gangster Pete

[@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477]

Congrats on a great total man!

[@michaelterzian1777]

Great job Pete.

[@marlontormanen2855]

crazy lifts pete

[@ghfjfghjasdfasdf]

Oh wow, that fail at 8:42 was scary looking!! I've never seen 4 guys have to spot that kind of weight before.... I'm surprised you attempted to walk that out, because it didn't look like you were ready. I've stood up with 675 before, so I know what that kind of weight feels like. Thanks for sharing all this footage!!!

[@dd-px6qh]

"I am never gonna make absurd gains in a short period of time" - Pulled 755 natty at the age of 20 and the BW of 220 :D

[@jodiesajor4878]

What an awesome meet! 🤜🤙💪

[@Bullitt1768]

Crazy the difference in builds of Larry vs Pete. One day slayin that world record.

[@patrickrodriguez3275]

[@ricardosousadias2928]

[@adamcorbett4940]

[@Samoloh]

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

Fuck yes! Your amazing! I'd be shocked if you don't get that #1 spot.

[@MrBraveBunny]

Very impressive Pete

[@liftteam6983]

Keep on grinding!

[@matthewfrancis9237]

Nice work!!

[@indbolwebelieve]

That squat is epic!

[@bignoknow]

so strong........... kinda blows my mind.

[@Manuel-xy7un]

that was awesome buddy the squats were intense

[@HarrisonDivecha]

Lol you still sponsored by rice a roni or what?

[@beavis3831]

Pete Rubish - Why are you creating a fake profile pretending to be Pete? Kinda strange..

[@HarrisonDivecha]

Pete Rubish haha right on. Protein mac and cheese is pretty sweet. Now they just need protein rice a roni

[@jhptsdx6275]

rice a roni conspiracy is one of the best videos on here.

[@BB2001.]

Such a beast of a dude!!

[@mikeymcmikeymike9127]

Onya pete !!

[@88ganzini88]

You da man Pete!

[@godawgs305]

Absolute fucking beast.

[@danwestaway]

That last squat was fucking sick

[@randywilde7306]

Great Heart. Great lifting! Like the video on eating large for $50. Helpful. Class guy

[@PHILLL94]

That was incredible...

[@nastynate4481]

Wow at first I was like there is no way these would have counted but evidently they were done within the time limits and I read that foot movement on squat after the rack command is allowed. something I didn't know. What an incredible will to finish the lift! It would probably help to do walkouts with your 1 rep max a few times before the meet. I like to do it once a week starting 4 weeks out and ending 2 weeks out personally and hold for 30 sec. It makes an incredible difference.

[@bartekkostuj]

3rd sq attempt and im crying ❤️

[@hindy51]

I’ve just noticed that u have a pretty narrow deadlift stance for your size. Good job with your 2100 total btw.

[@LiftHeavy1]

Congratulations

[@wonjawro3203]

Nice work Pete! I’m curious if you squatted once in the 12 weeks prior to this what you used as an indicator for your attempt selections?

[@dvmtraining6231]

Fucking amazing stuff. Truly!

[@jeffreyrubish347]

Great job, my boy! And exciting stuff coming up!

[@jeffreyrubish347]

Pete Rubish squats will do that, even to you!

[@rb25detMitch07]

Not the prettiest squat ive ever seen, but it seems to work real well for you. That was a legit grind on that third, congrats man!

[@DefineStrength]

hell yeah Pete! good shit dude. keep going!

[@flhogsndogs2772]

You got the 400 next meet brother!!!
