Toshiki Teaches Us To Back Squat!

[@budgetlifter]

Toshiki the type of guy to show up at your aunts wedding and tell you you should be able to squat 330

[@Erik-gx3dd]

Then tell you afterwards you had 2 more reps in you.

[@lizardgecko]

And tell you should be able to clean and jerk 230kg based on your squat

[@user-nu3qp5oz1l]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@salguodrolyat2594]

He would never ask you to do anything that he couldn't do himself.😇

[@KwisBwown]

AHAHAHAHAHA

[@dogcatdogable]

Shout out to the translator. I don't speak Japanese but it seemed like he made a real effort to actually translate the questions (even the sensitive ones) and facilitate a conversation.

[@bubnjarovski]

She is really impressed 😂

[@yokohamaborn]

I speak Japanese and the translation was awesome.

[@DeadBeatDex]

It also really helps that he knows the sport and its technical terms so it's much easier for him to translate it back and forth.

[@yokohamaborn]

@@DeadBeatDex yes, to be honest I’m learning terminology watching his translation because I don’t have experience talking about this sport in Japanese. Just hasn’t come up much for me in my day to day speaking.

[@asherxs]

Love the collective mind being blown when Toshiki mentioned his squat frequency for 321 Like the time Gabe casually mentioned doing 15 working sets 😂

[@xxOmnipresencexx]

Yeah, PEDs open the door to *real* volume. Even when Clarence was at maximum dosage, I don't think he got near the tonnage of the Eastern systems. Iirc front squat volume in Poland destroyed Clarence's knees, which is why his squat looks the way it does.

[@tomsettles6873]

How often did Toshiki say he was squatting? I couldn't understand some of that exchange.

[@chrism45]

@@tomsettles6873 5 times a week 5x5 around 260kg and ended with 3x10 at 170kg 1 minute rest. That's insane volume.

[@AlligatorsWithTies]

@@tomsettles6873 he would do a 5x5 then a 3x10, 5 times a week

I really thought the floor creaking was your knees cracking everytime and got nervous

[@bigkurz]

that's what my knees sound like hahaha

[@rodrigolyraganem3001]

Same lol

[@thekingmeruem]

Same, Clarence scared me

[@xLilPuddinTater]

Does he say otherwise in the video? I'm pretty sure the clicking are actually his knees at 6:00

[@chrism45]

Clarence's knees crackle and always have.

[@gregc5392]

This is the coolest material on the channel so far. A documentary about meeting a big figure, and the translations only add flavour to it! Good luck with 300+!

[@intouchcrossfit8780]

[@declanosullivan8749]

It made the video, Toshiki had simple but great advice, the breathing is something I never prioritise and it makes so much sense to prioritise

[@jsem94]

His thrusts into my bussy tho 😤😤

[@Tumpz]

I loved when he answered the questions about accessories etc. I was hoping he was gonna say none, I couldn't help laughing when he answered so 😂

[@jacksfacts20]

So basically, he's just a freak of nature who did none of the normal stuff people do and just squatted out of his mind.

[@MrSpicabooo]

Yea its like jordan tryna teach u to hoop, unicorns arent the best coaches cause everything they did was just insane and stuff no one else could do

[@jazzvec]

freak of nature with samurai mindset - deadly combination.

[@uli069]

Love the series! The conversation with Toshiki was super interesting and entertaining. Loved how appreciative and wholesome everyone was. 😀Looking forward to seeing more of the boys in Japan!

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

I have a lot of respect for Toshiki's translator, he language skills are impressive. I speak 4 languages but not as fluidly as he does with so little accent.

[@duchaneaux]

Interesting he talks about the deeper breath holds. Idk if bodybuilders or weightlifters still practice this but back in the silver era and golden era of bodybuilding, those guys used to train dumbbell pullovers for rib cage expansion and practiced deep breaths -- to the point where they could blow up those thick rubber balloons during strongman competitions. I'd imagine if one could expand their rib cage and lung capacity, they could probably get a squat PR just from that.

[@BafroMan101]

I have a feeling that the Toshiki inspired "RTA 3" is going to be really brutal...
