I love how you guys support and respect smaller or younger athletes relative to their own personal progress who can't put up huge numbers, but are pushing their own personal limits.

[@allenjenkins06]

I've found that to be a common ethos among most smart and heartfelt fitness and bodybuilding types. Certain advantages or mechanical particulars are genetic or the result of factors beyond one's control, but everyone can strive to be better than yesterday.

[@peteregan9726]

Agreed, pretty cool to see the mutual respect and humility here. Juji can be super competitive but I get the sense he just wants everyone to excel.

The thing is, to actually do the 405lbs front squats, Matt would have to add some muscle weight and it’ll probably mess up his running.

Props to juji for showing not only his strengths but also his weaknesses. I feel like most youtubers in the fitness community try to make themselves look good all the time

[@jacobm2625]

For those of you who don’t know track times, 75 seconds is a 5:00 mile pace. The fact that a guy could squat 405 8 times, run a five minute mile pace for 400, and then repeat that two more times is absolutely absurd to me. Mind, heart and lungs of the highest grade of Soviet unobtanium.

[@Laocoon283]

You saw them glutes son. Hes built different

[@nunninkav]

Whatever was in the "unobtanium" it made those Russian girls look like lumber jacks.

[@XSR_RUGGER]

They should of done a percentage of their personal 1 RM rather than jumping in at 405. If the Russian was hitting 3 sets of 405 then he's probably using about 70-80% of his 1RM.

[@IRONRIDER97]

Lol. Golden comment. Well done my friend!

[@xingoo4435]

Hahahaha!!!!

[@wyattconner464]

This is awesome as a hammer thrower the biggest lift is the front squat. The reason, why Litvinov was able to be 200 lbs or less, is that he is all legs. As a hammer thrower, it's counter-intuitive to have a big chest or arms as you want to maximize your radius your arms can be when fully stretched out, we are known for being T-rexes. The front squat is so big in the throw because if you look at the positions a hammer thrower is similar to that of a front squat because you are sitting back. The second most important lift is the snatch as it works on your finish at the end and helps with overall explosive power.

[@christophernettles4420]

All you need to do is combine the strength of Szat with the athleticism of a trained track athlete and you'll get one (1) single 196 lb russian man

[@julianlora_]

I'd settle for a combo of Joey and Anton.

[@edwardfortae2350]

He weighed in at around 234lbs according to old records. He doesn't look that heavy but has to have a lot of muscle to front squat 400lbs for 8 reps like this workout suggests.

[@dragos8839]

Exactly lmao

[@paulwhite9242]

he was 196? So he was doing 2x bodyweight front squats for reps? Jesus.

[@IRONRIDER97]

Who are you guys talking about?

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Litvinov's son (also Sergey) is a thrower too, would be cool to do a video with him and ask him about this workout

[@Noname-hw9bx]
