[@richstafford1245]

I agree with Hoff. If you think you are so stong raw put on gear and match him. Nobody does because they can’t. Geared lifting is hard. You just don’t put on gear and smash PRs. You have to train for gear, it’s not for everybody.

[@paintrain81]

I agree. I started training in 2000 and was 19yrs old. First competition inzer blast shirt that probably gave less recoil than a Maddog slingshot but it did save on the shoulders lifting a max. Raw meets were unheard of at the time. Eventually 2 ply came in and the rage x was the craze and I was benching 500lbs raw and hit 655 in the shirt and was top 100 in the 275s in the USA. Saying you have to train with the gear for it to benefit you is almost an understatement. I trained my ass off and only could ever obtain a 150lbs, the Hoffs, Kenneleys and Mendelsons are getting 3-4 hundred pounds. Gear or no gear you have to train your central nervous system and tendons to hold that weight in your hands. Average guy isn't going to throw a shirt on first time and put a 150lbs plus over his raw max in his hands and be ok not to mention hit the right groove of the shirt for it to actually work like it's supposed to and not decapitate yourself.

@Gore4ever FulciLives here's your Reddit gold stranger

[@TyrannyofBroscience]

This is like if Usain Bolt said he ran a 2.4 second 100m dash because he can do that in a car. He's still fast, the 100m in the car doesn't count, and you're still a jackass.

[@davidmb3376]

Gore4ever FulciLives a slingshot and a bench shirt are two different things. If you did a contest that allowed slingshots and you benched 475, then you could claim a 475 slingshot bench in competition. It’s not like Dave Hoff goes around claiming a 1000 raw bench.

[@knuckledragger4648]

Hoff is Louie's science project. It's fucking fascinating. Imagine being 14 years old and Louie taking you under his wing as his little experiment. And obviously it worked out.

[@chuckatley1464]

He actually wouldn’t..Dave never listened to Louie..chuck taught him how to squat and bob coe taught him everything else..Dave and Louie were not close at all

[@Daniel.Patrick.Walsh88]

Dave seems like a real down to earth guy. You can still tell the pure powerlifter mindset in training is there. Legend. Cheers HOFF

[@ShobitJain]

I miss that gym and the intensity behind those doors!!!

[@dantemarotta356]

I really enjoyed the interview, some good topics covered. Dave Hoff has amazing consistency at such a high level. Thanks for the upload mate

[@sdg2185]

"I was just messing around benching 900lbs" 😐😂

[@keksauraisks]

Awesome interview. Thank you!

[@jastocambridge7558]

Dave is one cool dude👍 love this series of videos and I love westside barbell, looks an awesome place💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@AB-vu3hc]

Jasto Cambridge great to see some love. Dave is up there with Mike bridges and coan for me.

[@tmac21889]

Wow very intelligent guy

[@nhpower1356]

Video length = perfect !!!!!

[@cassiusgaio9524]

3014 lb total - 30:14 of video.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

It's amazing how many lifters will cite Hulk Hogan as a childhood inspiration.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

@old man strength Aw that sucks you got banned! I was looking for you just the other day but couldn't find you and that explains why I guess. I never saw the WPO doc, if it ever came out. I've been looking around for it myself. I'm not sure if it was ever actually finished. I looked on IMDB for "Westside vs. The World", which you can watch in a few different places. The director's name is Michael Fahey. He only has one credit to his name and that's for the Westside doc.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

@old man strength What is your current program like? Are you currently running conjugate or some variation? I just had shoulder surgery for some skin cancer I had right on the shoulder joint, so that impacted my training the past month but I should be good to go again soon. If I didn't have stitches right on the shoulder joint, I would have trained through it.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

@old man strength Thank you!! I'll sub to your new channel so I don't lose track of you. I appreciate that tip and will look into it! Man, I hope you get that record! As we talked about before, I was gonna shoot for the 198lb State record on the bench this year in PA. There's a meet in June I believe, but I don't know now if I'll be ready for it. I was in striking distance before the surgery, but will have to see where I'm at now when I return. I'll definitely look into that peptide! What's your opinion of Turkesterone? I was thinking about that too, but evidence about it is real sketchy. Might just be placebo effect, although testimonials are highly rated for it.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

@old man strength Excellent. Yeah, I follow MPMD and Vig Steve I think. I'm really curious about it and what you said about your wife's strength increase really has me excited about trying it soon. How much did she take during that "cycle" so to speak? 1000mg a day or...? And how long was she on? Since it's not on any ban lists yet, it couldn't hurt to try it out I suppose.

[@Hypn0tik921]

**FIRST** as a huge fans of powerlifting and former competitor Dave Hoff is one of my favorite lifters in this era

[@smallworldlifters]

Enjoy it dude!

[@Hypn0tik921]

This is one I’ve been looking forward to. But you gotta do one with Chuck Vogelpohl and Louie!

[@smallworldlifters]

Fred Bland dude I asked Chuck but he politely declined! I would have loved to have given you guys that! Louie interview aims to be out this weekend! I have 2 interviews on my page with Louie from 2016 if you haven’t checked those out yet!

[@Hypn0tik921]

smallworld lifters yea man I saw all of em so far. Have it on alert lol. Now if I can watch Westside vs the world !

[@PrimeMatt]

This was so good! 👌🏼

[@RomanKondrachov]

This is way too epic. A humble guy, a gentleman and a real champion! Good stuff!

[@erikgordon4783]

focus. the. camera.

[@Hustler1_]

You got to meet chuck you said in a lower comment, I’m jealous brother id love to meet him

[@Johnrap]

About his opinion, on opinions: I'm just making conversation. Most people are. Totally respect someone ignoring what I say, why should they care? I also don't think they should get mad, again why should they care? If people didn't give opinions they wouldn't be able to even talk about the weather.

[@SteFan-rd7hi]

From his lifting videos I expected an asshole but he is super nice and kind wtf

[@MrBreakingbad]

I was just checking the internet to see his stats and somewhere it says he's 21 y.o. Is that true???

[@Dr_Footbrake]

Nah Hoff was born in '88 (I think, he's around my age though and says in the vid he was 19 in 2007)

[@MrBreakingbad]

GRAHAM ELY I think I missed that part. But thank you!

[@DaLooseGoose11]

Dude, this guy is a cool ass dude!!! Also, the part about social media where he said "there's a lot of bitchassness is on the internet" hahaha, for that not even being a real word except in slang, it is the PERFECT way to describe a lot of people on the internet. Couldn't have put it better myself

Westside barbell is what I call a real gym.. These posing palaces like pure gym. Gym for less.. Fitness for less we have here in Scotland are a fuckin joke.and dave hoff. Always been a machine.

Nice Interview / FOCUS THE FUCKING CAMERA next time !

[@smallworldlifters]

athena.indigo Hey man you’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the free informative entertainment I flew across the Atlantic to give you!

[@TyrannyofBroscience]

I'm not watching 30 minutes. Does he ever ask Hoff about hiding a board in his singlet so he could half rep bench press as hard as he does squats?
