You guys should squat in the power rack with safeties so you don't have to sink to the floor like Isaac did. Also stepping backwards out of the rack to squat and racking the bar by stepping forwards (opposite to what you guys did) is significantly safer as you can see where the rack is.

This was a fun video! But as a powerlifter I have to say that only Nick's squats hit depth. The bench normally has to be paused and for the deadlift you have to keep your arms on the bar until it comes to a stop. Also be careful when you do this if you don't have an experienced spotter do squats and the bench press in the rack with the safeties.

I know you're not following the exact rules since it's a loose and friendly competition. I'm surprised there was no spotter in the squat. I was cringing watching this. Glad nobody injured themself. BTW in my 1987 competition for the all service meet I squatted 535, benched 375 and dead lifted 545 at a body weight of 165lbs for a total of 1455. I only took third place with that total.

When you maximize your NATURAL strength, it does not go away fast. Example: I am 33 years old, and hit a squat of 660 lbs last year, and it wasn't my max. No spotters on a power rack with no equipment so I couldn't go super risky. I'm a 260 lbs lifter BTW. Went and Truck Drove with no leg training for almost 1 full year. Came back to do non-driving jobs and worked out the last 2 months... Squat already recovered to sets of 8 on 505 lbs. Bench went from 320 X 10 reps early last year, to 250 x 10 first 2 weeks back this year. Now 10 weeks in, I'm already back to 330 lbs X 9 reps. It never really goes away if you keep eating somewhat correctly. Trust me, Truck driving a year don't do it for ya, and I got it all back in under 3 months work. Avoid supplements, steroids, and crap like that and you'll recover your natural power fast once you get back in it!

Nice job hitting the 1000 lbs goal. Cool to see you still pushing for new PRs. You should look into a collab with the boys at StrengthSide (YT channel). Pistol squat challenge or pullups would be awesome.

You should walk the weight out moving backward and finish moving forward when you squat. And for goodness sake set the catch bars just below depth and squat in the rack. Really basic/safety stuff.

Squats weren’t quite deep enough for powerlifting standards and you are required to pause your bench on the chest for 1-2 count for it to count which decreases the amount you can actually lift. But otherwise impressive for non powerlifters.

Touch and go bench doesn’t count for PL comps. Have to pause at bottom. So lower your weight by 10-15 lbs. also, dropping the deadlift at the top is also illegal. Cmon guys!
