Everybody be hating on Bart for not being as strong as he was before. The guy is in his 30s and is a new Dad. Even if he’s not lifting large amounts of weight, so what? Just support him and be positive. You haters are just jealous losers

[@huymynguyen67]

Quoc Tran Right??? these are probably the same people who are 100 lbs over weight and live in their parents basement. SMH

[@nolenlifts4661]

Didn’t he lose a bunch of weight too?

[@harrymaninc]

yea and he started powerlifting in his late 20's. also for an average person his bench is insanely strong

[@deoxysssichooseyou]

He also dropped almost 40lbs. His leverages, energy, mechanics are fuar

[@bambisco7056]

And he's barely been sleeping each night

[@MrBachChoy]

Bart. The fuckin legend. Got So cut and still is strong af even though he has multiple businesses, a marriage, and a child to take care of. That’s a fucking hustle man. Mad respect.

[@Bulliitt]

Love watching these type of competition videos

[@jasongrenier3590]

He lost a ton of weight on his cut. He is a new father. Runs multiple businesses and there is too much negativity on here. Let's see you do what he does on the daily and see how your numbers compare. If you don't compete then you can't say shit. The end.

[@HALO213566]

[@Human-jz8ee]

I was waiting for this forever.

[@NathanOstrum00]

[@Will-hi9iy]

[@richietiang8575]

Less than 10 weeks out from my meet and seeing this video is getting me even more motivated! Good job bart!

[@luisliftstv2434]

Way to own up to your missed lifts man. Bart is always killing the game 🙌🏽💪🏽

[@jessesoto3272]

One of my fave competition recaps! You’re goals Bart, truly inspiring. Keep grinding in all aspects of your life my man.

[@tjb8158]

its actually awesome to see an experienced lifter enter a meet and not absolutely dominate everything. even at an advanced level there is still plenty to learn and its good for beginners and intermediates to see that its also just good healthy fun way to practice a passion

[@TheYeti_97]

Dang Bart has really leaned out. Congrats mate on the meet mate!

[@ReMarig00o]

12:48 you made the folks really enjoy their time there haha

[@19HeaVeN94]

You’re one helluva inspirational dude Bart 🤙🏼 The grind never seems to end with you no matter what other responsibilities enter your life.

[@vue4u89]

Ever wonder what he's listening to? *The wheels on the bus go round and round...*

[@DrexPlays]

good stuff bart. would like to see you in another USAPL meet. ready to see that 500 sq 400 b and 600 dead in a meet ! USAPL are the only meets/federations I compete in. I feel like IF and a BIG IF, powerlifting can ever get on that crossfit level USAPL will be the federation to do it

[@jamespearson7084]

Dre Plays you mean IPF....USPL is part of IPF. And USPA is very popular as well.

[@DrexPlays]

James Pearson no I meant USAPL. That’s why I said USAPL. Not IPF as a whole

[@Ainttrippin]

Deangelo Brooks can't believe there's still legit Crossfit haters out here

[@Matt-ey7pk]

Coach JG CrossFit is a joke of a sport, it sucks.

[@Ainttrippin]

Red Nacht did a Crossfitter steal your girl or something

[@wongnumba8990]

Bart you are a BadAss and STRONG as hell, keep it up! :)

[@M12Loon]

Bart!! you're such an amazing inspiration man!! I'm not into the power lifting scene but your dedication, enthusiasm, and passion crosses over to anything!! keep at it brotha.. 🙏

[@mataafa5c]

no where to go but up, bart!!!! great video

[@1908blah]

Good job Bart

[@LordKuufu]

[@RouRoro]

who that cutie?

[@thedevinluu]

This was so awesome and timely to watch! I was just thinking yesterday that I want to compete again early next year and USAPL is my federation of choice. I agree with what you said, USAPL can be very meticulous, but it’s a huge motivator in perfecting your technique! I’d love to see a video from BB on how to handle someone at a meet. I think it could be really interesting and helpful!

[@PoPMaNiaC17]

12:56 the best moment 😂😂😂

[@Dsmirnovv]

bart need to work on his booty gains. gotta get thicc for them usapl judges.

[@finesse1570]

I can't contain myself at 2 in the morning cheering for you Bart. BEAST

[@cusifeltlikeit]

Fucking hell guys I was about to go to bed but then saw this was uploaded and now I have to watch it before bed

[@eanlum8220]

I don't know if they ever sold this but they should definitely put the Barbell Brigade singlet and meet shirt on sale, actually fire 🔥

[@theazn07]

[@Detriixx]

[@snow2tears]

You inspire me to continue powerlifting!

[@PoPMaNiaC17]

12:48 Bart must’ve made it the funnest powerlifting meet they’ve been to😂😂😂

[@hannahc8436]

This inspired me to sign up for another meet. woo! Go Bart!

[@matthewlee3215]

Ayyy I was the to compete at the american open for usaw (Olympic weightlifting)!! Same venue. You can actually hear the plates drop in the background from the warm up area/ training hall

[@bigmattsgains878]

I love how official this looks!

[@LoganChase75]

That is a Wilks score of right at 402. Very impressive! Lean and mean.

[@vanilla7207]

Hey Bart, Why are most of your squat being recorded top half? @4:30 .Is your cameraman just checking out your hair or jawline? lol I want to see your legs. Also, in my opinion only, first attempt felt like you are parallel, meaning it can be both a pass and a red depending on the judge personally I've seen people judge way higher like record breakers powerlift. Late comment, but your videos are inspiring so it's never late to watch it! Keep it up.

[@danwhite4697]

Good on ya at the meet, you did well 💪💪💪 keep up the hard work, keen to gym at barbell brigade some day

[@bailey.1353]

Beast!!!!

[@DevenAyambem]

I've been waiting for thissss

[@IcyLight98]

Iconic.

[@vampfiee]

Please wish me luck! I got a powerlifting meet this weekend.

[@maryaviles3875]

Sekai good luck!!

[@bambisco7056]

Good luck!

[@nik6654]

good luck have fun

[@PoPMaNiaC17]

You’ll absolutely smash that shit 💪

[@ninjastar211]

Sekai let's get it

[@LukeGrahamPowerlifting]

nice job dude. just so you know, the reds on the last deadlift was for "ramping," which happens when you force your knees forward annd support the bar on your thighs

[@PoPMaNiaC17]

Luke KiloGraham aka hitching

[@LukeGrahamPowerlifting]

POPMANIAC17 nope, hitching and ramping are different.

[@PoPMaNiaC17]

Luke KiloGraham my bad, just looked it up a bit more 😅😅

[@charles8557]

I thought it might’ve been for loss of control of the bar on the way down

[@italiaftballstud]

if im not mistaken, on your last deadlift attempt, you didn't get it because you dropped the weight right before it hit the ground. I'm pretty sure you have to keep your hands gripped on the barbell as it hits the ground

[@gteang1]

Good shit bart! One year makes a difference

[@BOBarkerR6V2]

Bart is life goals

[@charliem123321]

You're a legend..

[@bigmattsgains878]

Bart’s a beast

[@KevbotFalconhammer]

Tough call on that third deadlift attempt. A call is a call, but from the video it doesn't look like the bar stopped on your thighs at all during the lift. Congrats on the first meet, though.

[@alexnohra1243]
