How to Get Strong w/ Dr Squat Fred Hatfield

[@stephenw5647]

Love the way he describes clearing the mind before lifting the weight

[@GFD472]

One of the very best interviews P.A. has done. RIP Dr. Squat

[@Oi-mj6dv]

Bro legit hatfield squats are a godsent. If dr squat talks, ill sit and listen

[@davidnorton2473]

You can learn alot from a man like this. Sadly missed R.I.P

[@lordtimothy9740]

U can apply this to any area of life for success.

[@Metfan1986]

Michael Lardon wrote a great book on what Dr. Hattfield is talking about called 'Finding Your Zone'. It's a great read and does work if applied right.

Dr Squat was such a good lifter. I remember meeting him and watching him lift in a world record breaker meet in Lynnwood WA. Dr Squat, Ed Coan, Jeff Magruder,Doug Furness and Doyle Kennedy it was such a incredible day of watching lifting

He may have been juiced up but reality is that all his competitors of the day were as well and he still reigned supreme . I reckon that for a guy who would have taken steroids for many years getting to 74 is pretty good achievement . Many people can’t get out of their 50s nowdays . Talking of accelerating the bar , well that’s typical of Olympic lifting as well . No acceleration and exploding the movement will result in failure of the lift . People say Olympic lifting is just technique but it requires huge strength to accelerate a bar through the movement while also getting technique 100 percent correct .

Did they every find out what the machine was he used?

Yeah it was called up the butt hot dog man. 🌭

So basically he is talking about having tunnel vision

[@user-xd1xf9rp5p]

I've read a dozen books by doctor squat and even communicated with him a little, but what a lot of people don't know and what he doesn't talk about (much) is that he also used steroids (and learned to use them in Russia) and wrote a book in 1982 called "What Kind and how many," and that's probably why he got prostate cancer and died. He was a genius, but his edge and success was because of steroids.

[@Powerathletehq]

Attributing his success to just "taking steroids" is disingenuous and pretty short sided. There are plenty of people taking drugs that never accomplish what Dr. Hatfield accomplished and does not diminish his contribution to the field of S&C or his place in powerlifting history. And to attribute his death from prostate cancer to steroids is ignorant and gross in the same right.

[@tedbaccich2566]

@@Powerathletehq here here. Well spoken. Agreed!

[@danrogers4795]

All the top level powerlifters, strongmen, and really any strength sport athletes use steroids. Most of their advice is still valid. Look at Westside barbell and Louie Simmons, he called for serious use of steroids and yet his system is still genius.

[@coreyworthingtonii9230]

Does he mention what he was taking and how much?

[@stevenroberts5741]

Well the ignorance of your comment suggests that despite all your ‘reading’ that you didn’t learn very much sadly.

[@harryangel4822]

Excuse me but I wanna hear from Fred Hatfield not the guy in the black hat. I didn’t watch this to listen to you dude. You talked more than Dr. squat, what a waste. 👎

[@ricardodorval8135]

Why did you talk so much nobody cares about stories bro trying to learn from the best hear ffs

[@Powerathletehq]

Get mad, bro.

I appreciated the host's comments as I thought he expanded on and clarified subjects and asked good ,and valid questions. Thanks

In the '80 everybody was doped. Frederick Hatfield is dead from sudden heart failure at age 74 on the 14th of May 2017.

[@andytwentyman9573]

Is there more or less dope today?

heart is one of the main things ped hit
