He still squatted 805lbs., benched 590lbs.and deadlifted 904lbs. in the 198lb. weight class, even though the lifts are at different meets, might not be quite the same in all in the same meet, still extremely bad ass. His personal totals add up to 2299 or so because of the kilo set. His capabilities of strength in each lift were there to total 2300 lbs. at 198lbs. That still means a lot I feel. It is very tough to peak in all three lifts, besides one slight stumble, squat set up., miss groove bench, or bad grip, torn callous with these aggressive knurl deadlift bars everything is derailed. Good for him having world record marks in each lift in a full meet!

What does the diet of low carbs and high fiber look like? One day out, I usually drink nothing and dry scoop whey. Two days out, I usually buy one of those squeeze tubes of peanut butter and take little hits of it throughout the day in addition to whey. Whey isolate has a lot of potassium so is decent for flushing out sodium.

@hashimiyazib3 ай бұрын
Taking care of calluses is definitely important to reduce risk of tearing/pain, but I'd say that just having a strong grip is the biggest factor. Even if you practice good skincare, having a sharp barbell slide down your hand while you're holding on tight will quickly tear your skin apart. In this video, John specifically mentioned that his grip was weak due to the excessive effort he put into pulling knee sleeves up and down which could at least partially explain how his hand was torn.

His grip was taxed from trying to pull up his knee sleeves for the squat, not the actual lift itself.
@MHB303 ай бұрын
I talked about it in the video. The issue was from trying to pull the knee sleeves up. Powerlifters will try and maximize the amount we get out of whatever gear is allowed in a specific meet. For this one, knee sleeves are part of that kit. To maximize them, we get quite still and tight sleeves. Before my second attempt, I went to pull my sleeves up again. Due to increase blood flow in my legs and the sweat on my skin, the sleeves were too tight to pull over my calves. I started to panic and try and pull harder. This is what lead to my forearms and hands being wrecked.
Hey John, i think you should try lotion to push the knee sleeves in. This very smooth when you pulling knee sleeves and no burn your forearm.
