God dammit 😅

Boom roasted

Merry Christmas John. I would suggest getting surgery for a torn labrum. Mine was torn and I kept dislocating my shoulder during my sleep! Just do all the PT afterwards and you'll be back even better.

[@intoxicatedchocobo8370]

Hell yeah. Impressive performance for such a different and dynamic skill set. Swap that wrecking ball for a different event and you’d probably have podium’d. Crazy good, dude.

[@critical-slayer]

For someone doing side quests in strongman you did great! Just glad you got through relatively injury free.

[@RagnarBlackmane-q8m]

No surprise to anyone John dominated the deadlift! Overall you did amazing, for someone who doesn't do this all the time! I hope you continue to do these strongman events!

[@Ian.lifts.]

That’s impressive! I don’t think people understand how different the two sports are and how difficult it is to excel at both.

[@guyhorowitz158]

Coach, you are the best! Regards from Amsterdam!

[@tyree2826]

Actual superhuman

[@dougjohnson8610]

Idk bout that

[@davideaston8437]

Would be cool to see you go for 1000lb deadlift at the strongman world deadlift champs. Loving the new Clash programme, just going into week 2 myself.

[@heveyweightheveyweight5399]

Why not see him do it raw at a pl meet . Don't Wana see him ruin his powerlifting greatness getting hurt at these strong man contest an the strong man deadlifts are really irrelevant compared to deadlifts at meet .i say this because it's all straps deadlift suites an specialty bars

[@MirNovichok]

Strongman deadlifts are bullshit. Hitching, ramping, straps and suits.

[@joemama226]

@@MirNovichok He deadlifts on steroids with a deadlift bar and mixed grip. It needs to be stiff bar, tested, double overhand to not be bullshit!!!!!!!

[@joemama226]

@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 Equipment doesn't make something irrelevant. They are just different lifts. and he's not pulling 1000 raw strapless

[@brainp471]

no doubt if you trained full time, you would be the mitch hooper of your class. im betting weight class strongman is about to blow up and be a major competitor to crossfit. You have the potential to be the Mat Fraser of strongman, at 5' 9" you maintain being relatable to the masses while exemplifying the human potential. the drama and story of strongman is just so much more rich.

[@emabassetti]

Awesome video as always John! Do you change anything in your diet for strongman training? More calories?

[@Mazzter88]

Any desire to go after a 1,000 lb deadlift?

[@Stonemon16]

If he fully commits to 100kg I’m sure it’s a possibility for him.

[@square7935]

@@Stonemon16 100kg+ john would be amazing

[@malchir4036]

@square7935 full blast open weight Haack might just set best overall or get injured constantly.

[@Couldhavebeensomeone]

Happy solstice.

[@Fan-td8dv]

Gz well done. Have you done the Christmas event in osrs yet?

[@faizalmohammed9874]

That was incredible brother. Your posterior chain is strong. I think you need to work on overhead work and power. Adding some weighlifting work could make big difference.

[@daxisperry7644]

Was that Uncle Nick from Neversate gym I saw in your division?

[@dragonballer1]

lets go jonathan

[@sioux7420]

Nice work John :) But ehmm....what happened at 17:32 ? 🤭😅

[@MHB30]

Just trying to hype myself up. Lol

[@sioux7420]

@@MHB30 Haha it made med think of the scene from Marvel movie where Smart-Hulk is trying to get hyped up in NY 😅

[@Total.650]

25:54 you arent using your leg to hold the handle like the 3 other guys

[@JeanKlaud93]

Howd you injure your shoulder?

[@Danratman]

26:58 & 27:12, why did the crew touch them before the drop?

[@MHB30]

I believe the judge had called that the wrecking ball was no longer suspended. A lot of people were passing out from this event too, so they wanted to make sure no one got injured.

[@heveyweightheveyweight5399]

You held your own brother , dont let this strong man stuff ruin your powerlifting .

[@Robientje184]

Off topic but can someone help me? I am looking for a deadlift bar in Europe. My options here: atx deadlift bar, ohio deadlift bar, texas deadlift bar and the bastard deadlift bar from strenghtshop. I am a beginner-intermediate powerlifter who trains on a stiff bar at home but wants to experiment with a deadlift bar, I am not the best puller (PB 225kg). Want a good whip and quality/price ratio. Wich do I go for? Thanks in advance!

[@DJHAM7A]

I got a strengthshop deadlift bar and it serves me great. half the price of a Texas so I think it's the best quality/price ratio. I pulled 340kg for 4 reps on it.

[@MHB30]

Texas is the most likely one you'll find in powerlifting meets that use them, at least here in the States.

[@Opincargymnastics25]

when you get 6th at world strongest man even though you are the worlds strongest man

[@agnidas5816]

long torso porportion = good for PL, bad for strongman.

[@joemama226]

Having the highest powerlifting total doesn't make you the strongest man.

[@StrongmanCoaching]

@@joemama226in John’s case in context if the u90kg class I believe it does.

[@joemama226]

@@StrongmanCoaching I don't believe so. I think he is the strongest powerlifter his size, and has potential to become the strongest overall at his bodyweight, but he isn't there yet since he has specialized on three lifts for powerlifting.

[@malchir4036]

I'm curious about your bloodwork and blood pressure during peak as that anadrol moonface doesn't look healthy.

[@MHB30]

I had bloodwork done a couple weeks after Power Surge this past fall. I had some elevated liver and kidney enzymes, but only slightly above normal range. I work with Broderick Chavez and we are working on setting up a podcast episode where he'll go over my bloodwork.

completely different sport bud

[@heveyweightheveyweight5399]

What? Dude this is his first time doing this . He did very well . Alot better then everyone else who would've competed in a meet against him

[@Andreslashfully]

no, you are ignorant

[@joemama226]

6th in wsm first time ever doing strongman, with a couple months to train is overrated?

[@iamzebra7025]

Hey. How about dropping the drugs and going IPF? Would be great to see you in Sheffield…2nd thing - have you ever really tried lowbar squat?

[@CrazyMrMage123]

He won the IPF worlds in 2016, and I’m sure arguably the greatest powerlifter of all time has tried out low bar squats and found the best technique for him, I think he just happens to be stronger high-bar unlike most people

[@MHB30]

I'm of the opinion that if you have ever done PED's, you are no longer eligible to compete in the IPF/drug tested.

[@iamzebra7025]

@@MHB30 That is true... shame. I find it impossible to watch the competitions he takes part in but that's just me🙃
