Jon North "Every Kilo Counts"

[@TramTran7]

I come here to watch this anytime I'm feeling down. Great video

[@TramTran7]

TheSayNoToDrugsGuy Hahah oh hey! I love this vid!

[@Allen-ux3po]

You guys got to win this for America. Make us proud.

[@misfit9448]

US weightlifting is a joke, everyone knows that. Stick with swimming and basketball folks. Lol.

[@paulnutt]

Great video, Jon. Thank you. "When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful." So true.

[@5HT_Ronin]

I think it's Explosions in the Sky... amazing Texan instrumental rock

[@DurnaldTremp]

You can tell they are all having a wonderful time weightlifting and enjoying life.

[@looseproduce]

goddamn, the message is just about as heavy as the lifts, favorite video out of calstrength so far , attitude nation salute

[@dankstakc]

These guys have the heart of a champion. This is what hard work is.

[@CAIrondad]

LOVE IT, Jon...... keep it coming, brother....

[@Decimus-Meridius]

Man you guys look so young, beautiful video.

[@theycallmebobFOO]

Man the dynamic of this video is so different with this in the background.

[@dilli300troy]

thanks for the video, really inspirational story put in most simple way

[@rusty9914]

This video literally just changed my life

[@Hiphophead50]

agreed.. i came out of an injury where i had 4 compressed and cracked discs, and a torn mcl, deadlifts and squats have helped me alot.

[@ParadiseCalls37]

Very inspirational

[@dankstakc]

People should stop talking shit on bodybuilding. I train for maximum muscle size myself, and am a natty, and these guys give me such real motivation, we all are hard workers and these guys help me believe in myself and achieve my goals. I feel a real connection to their sport, we are all iron warriors. And I really want these guys to succeed as bad as I want to succeed

[@yangl123]

Does anyone else think that Jon and Kevin look like brothers?

[@muppetowner]

definately agree with you, i train six days a week, but i still think its nice to be able to still be active when i'm 40 and not all worn down.

[@cft1289]

I just downloaded this soundtrack to my phone to listen to before I train. A little different than normal, but still good.

[@DavidWarrenWorkouts]

nice video, keep up the good work, very motivational.

[@slyfury007]

awesome vid

[@koropaniwladca]

"you probably heard this before" part of this track is becoming more true with every video on youtube i see with it

[@Nastayba]

this is great!

[@IngarMaximus]

Tom Sroka has incredibly powerful push presses!

[@KingQuickscoping]

I listen to this when I go running.

[@yommomalama]

great video man

[@lifteatrepeat]

What is this story being told in the background? I love it.

[@astoria1111]

attitude nation salute

[@robarsenault1749]

[@plantera07]

[@webnetinternet]

Damn ! Those behind the head presses, how do you do them without hurting the shoulder rotator cuff area??

[@dennisgiles8406]

The truth very powerfull!!

[@BillupsIU]

The artist is Explosions in the Sky, but I can't remember the song name for the life of me.

[@id0stuff]

his back is arched the entire movement even when he escapes the bar

[@superszajner]

Jon north (first guy) is squatting 25 kilo x 6, 15 (I think yellow are 15 kilo) x2, 10 kilo x 2, 1 kilo x 2 so total of 202 kilos? (roughly 450 lbs) Second guy (pretty sure it's kevin) squats all that but the 1 kilo plates are swapped with 5 kilo plates I believe? so total of 220 kilos (485 pounds) last guy squats 25 kilo x 8, 10 kilo x 2, and I lthink that little red one is 5 kilos? total of 225 kilos (about 500 lbs, roughly 497-498) North then does a set at 185 kilo, or 408 lbs

[@LaserrSharp]

This is great. Do you know which of his works and where is this story contained? Thanks.

[@Steve61992]

you the man jon

[@Daluke61]

Top notch, Two Thumbs Ups... loving it. Time to go lift some serious shit! -Talkin' Squats!!!

[@JJLederach]

Holy fuck do I love this video.

[@superszajner]

ah thanks. I think I forgot the weight of the bar, as well as not knowing the exact weights of the plates. Ours at my gym are not color coded like those

[@jayrhodes]

Fucking awesome.

[@STALKER1463]

I am from Russia! Thanks for motivation guys!

[@Californiaoneone]

It's the principle, man. Eric Thomas is explaining that sacrifices, and pushing beyond your limits is what will lead you to success.

[@MegaRawBerry]

Anyone coming back for motivation?

[@frigeratorz]

The real question is what shoes is Tom wearing?

[@cooperhanson5564]

Unreal.

[@d.parasol]

Holy fuck I'm inspired.

[@Bultish]

thats the recipe many Swedish physical therapist use also...

[@kraftsportNO]

This video was a lot of show. Also some go. But in several other countries, you have lifters doing workouts like this every day, without batting an eyelid.

[@LaserrSharp]

I don't mean to tread on their hard work and dedication. They work hard and have potential. But to become elite level, it has to be a science. You have to work hard with both your body and mind. When you don't know how to lock out, when you don't drop low enough on the jerk, when you don't put your head through, you will not reach that elite level. You have to work and hone your craft. Lifting big weight is impressive, but without the calculated technique it will be hard to break barriers.

[@Californiaoneone]

If you listen closely you can hear Glenn Pendlay singing at 4:48.

[@JeremyLam0]

why am i hearing explosions in the sky everywhere

[@acidreign6]

music by explosions in teh sky?

[@socser90]

what's the music in the video called?

[@KromTromEggadom]

Count the plates on the bar?

[@rickymad82]

Shit made me cry! :)

[@AryaInk]

That kid.

[@Sabaut]

It was meant as a joke, a sort of pun (as a pair of traps does helps with the discomfort of resting the bar on your upper back). I'm sorry you found my comment offensive, even if it wasn't directed towards you.

[@Solus]

hey jon, where can i download this track?

[@kakaak0]

for the record, how much is he squatting?

[@ChrisKhater]

tom is so effing strong overhead

[@AnimalBB86]

thats snap city for sure at 1:45

[@blackishlovah123]

how much were they squating?

[@ryanriddle6550]

"Goodbye" From the Friday Night Lights soundtrack

[@重庆要的]

why did kevin leave the team ?

[@iKrackeD]

There is such a thing as lightweight.

[@blackishlovah123]

song?

[@thomas3718]

Where are you from??

[@lukebelliveau7375]

tom sroka

[@DJKEG1]

1:57 WTF!!! Smith Machine Bra

[@corsonnikkel1111]

So, ignoring the fact that Ronnie Coleman's injury is of course NOT from using excessively heavy weight *due to the ability to recover faster than ligaments/densifying bones with steroids* OR that it isn't from olympic weightlifting, you are saying these guys can't duck with heavy weights? Do you know what olympic weightlifting is? The end of a jerk?

[@AboveInShadow]

Good good, let the Jimmies rustle trough you. U mad? XD

[@saldar05]

whos the guy at 3:21?

[@corsonnikkel1111]

In addition, Ronnie Coleman is an elite lifter, and he is recovering from that injury in one month, and this is after using extremely heavy weights at huge loads. So after years and years of training heavy, he gets a spinal injury, in which he will recover in a month (once more, using elite level weights and training) and be back to "the game" at the age of (I'm sorry, how old is he again? Not that that's an important factor...), and you use that to tell them they shouldn't catch a bar?

[@justwatching918]

I hear squatting to failure is a good way to train...

[@corsonnikkel1111]

My final point, since clearly you are hopeless: "When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath, then you will be successful." Pay attention to the point of the video. Do you think anyone doing this gives a damn about what you say? No. Only reason I posted to you, Vitto, to begin with, was to try and show you that those risks are not only 1 to 10% at risk, at elite levels, but the people operating at that level couldn't care less compared to the success that risk can give.

[@Californiaoneone]

15 "bodybuilders" believe "ass to grass" to be the most dangerous thing that can be done in the weight room.

[@Coffee_and_SpentBrass]

from 5:00mins on.....total win.

[@Devoratorul]

25 kg- red 20 kg- blue 15 kg- yellow 10 kg- green

[@mulli1gb]

Looks like a pair of Ristos to me.

[@corsonnikkel1111]

Let's assume that dropping a bar, in general, like that, CAN damage the spine, despite your lack of evidence, scientific claims, and even where the hell you are coming from with that comment. Notice how they duck WITH the descent of the bar to catch it right where they would had they been squatting it? Guess what THAT does? :)

[@AnimalBB86]

ummm what do u mean why, look at his back snapping in half

[@AboveInShadow]

dropping that much weight on the traps after the shoulder press can damage the spine.

[@Dooblaypork]

Did you really just suggest that a weightlifter should use a Smith machine?

[@WOWskarphace]

I do love sleep....

[@stabcitySB]

Shredded yet brah? haha

[@AboveInShadow]

Ronnie was elite..elites are humans too. You know.

[@GudMarty]

Well then what do you say about football? If you hit someone with how your sopposed to with your head up you'll be fine. If you lower your head you can end up like Eric LeGrand. I lift and work at an olympic weightlifting gym. I have seen one injury there over about 18months. It was a 17year old who was trying to impress his friends skipped most of his warm up sets and torn his quad squatting about 150. There hasn't been an injury from any actual Oly lift.

[@AboveInShadow]

I said ''eventually'' never is not an option on bodybuilding..if you never get hurt, then you are not training hard enogh.

[@MultiPH89]

look like ristos?

[@AboveInShadow]

And the cicle is complete..the classic not if done correctly too optimistic answer. That was a deerp.

[@Duschlauch]

On their way to sssssnapppp city.

[@PigBenis4U]

Why?

[@AboveInShadow]

They can't duck too much with heavy weights..think a little. Ronnie Coleman use to do that shit..spine surgery for him a couple of months ago. Right on the place where they drop the weight. XD

[@superrubiksman]

This isnt powerlifting its olympic lifting and to prevent injuries they wear belts and wraps for knees elbows and wrists.

[@josephnattyboh5525]

This is skill at its best. the Olympic lifts are the hardest to master let alone win events at, that is why there are in the Olympics to begin with. Not sure i would want a chick just cause she digs my "bodybuilding" body

[@jiggasnap]

posting comments like that can lead to severe/extreme testicular atrophy and even the appearance of a vagina.

[@muppetowner]

if you're young, try an extra long warmup or go see a doc

[@looseproduce]

you can learn alot about yourself from a squat

[@PrototypeBMX]

squeeze your traps before you rest the weight on them i have pretty small traps and can put a lot of weight on my back also stick your chest out don't round your upper back
