Slaying The Dragon: Dan "BOSS" Green & Brandon Lilly Squat Session

[@ericschwartz3582]

I know lots of guys who quit when they get a simple strain in the gym, this takes balls to come back that quickly from a major injury

[@acat3387]

Unless he continues ego lifting and fucks it up again.

[@Zooky424]

Definitely. It goes to show that if you want something bad enough you can make it happen.

[@Kevgti5]

I could listen to Brandon talk about anything for hours, he seems like such a genuine man.

[@gjmjblevins]

Two amazing lifters at very different points in their careers that are working together to become the best they can be: simple amazing.

[@TheJiujitsumaniac]

Dan seems more confident in front of the camera now. Great video Animal, thanks for showing us powerlifters some love.

[@probablyhomer9338]

I've got a lot of respect for Brandon. He is definitely a determined guy. He's in amazing company with Dan and the other guys.

[@sg255010]

The drive, the attention to detail, the courage to push harder and go farther than all others, and the little things that make up the big picture. The training session turned life lesson. You can't make this up. Keep slaying dragons!!!!

[@Machoke.]

Brandon Lilly is a beast, he's recovering fast. Animal is a great company for putting out this video. It shows that they really care a lot about their athletes for putting out a video following his recovery. Can't wait to see Brandon back to full strength again. He's a great inspiration. He's one of the main people who watching inspired me to hit the gym and get stronger.

[@dokterkarel]

that's some impressive squats for having to recover from a kneecap injury. Thumbs up Brandon

[@mconcepcion752]

Dan looks like a bodybuilder at this point.

[@Jonaldo86]

Two of my favourite lifters! Totally worth multiple watches over the weekend! Especially prior to my deadlift max attempt on Sunday!

[@JSLifting97]

Good luck my fellow lifter

[@JohnMilonJohnson]

Animal you put out the best videos and thank you for your support of powerlifting #respect

[@LennyPowers]

I love that BBBC has lazy boys and leather couches to rest on in between set. I would love to train there with Dan Green.

[@Zooky424]

Very inspiring to see Brandon come back from his injury.

[@MarkMacqueen]

Such a great experience to lift with these 2 lifters!

[@MindisJurenas]

that 804 SQ in sleeves?!?.. Dan is the BOSS!

[@MindisJurenas]

Incredible strength!

[@TheJiujitsumaniac]

What weight class is Dan now?

[@TheJiujitsumaniac]

And that kind of tenacity is what makes Dan Green the legend that he is.

[@JoshuaOdionson]

Animal I'm almost in awe to think of what Dan will do next year (if no injuries occur) as earlier in the year he was looking....inhuman. I recall him doing a 770 for a triple in just sleeves, his 1003 block pull. I'd say that's nearing Coan levels of strength.

[@mulatonegro1294]

804 no spot just pure sheer strength and determination! Dan green is a Monster

[@UniversalUSA77]

Wanted to look away, but I couldn't when Lilly was up.

[@PetersonCharlesMONSTAH]

This is animal. I love your drive bro

[@johnterry5336]

I love the mutual respect between the athletes

[@flimflam945]

Inspirational.

[@EpictheEpicest]

Good luck on your rehab Brandon. Remember to take it slow brother, just treat every step as a step in the right direction.

[@jwilde93]

This is the video I needed to see right now

[@Patawon]

Dang... The second attempt he made look easy... Way to regroup... Attaboy ❗️❗️❗️

[@IAmColinThaGreat]

nothing but hard freaking work!

[@Fiends4]

It's kind of sad to know that these guys won't even live to be 50 yet they have so much dedication to a sport that will eventually end their lives.

[@jordeharris3216]

Ill bite, what's the point of brushing your teeth if they will one day rot out of your head?

[@JoshuaOdionson]

Well, Ed Coan just recently turned 51 (I think). I'd imagine Kirk Karwoski is about the same. Bill Kazmaier is 60. Larry Pacifico is 68. Don Reinhoudt is 69. Jon Cole passed last year at age 69. John Kuc passed at age 67. Jim Williams passed at age 66. Paul Anderson passed at age 61. According to USA Today, the average life expectancy in the United States as of 2012 was 76 years. Personally, I'd be fine with dying a few years before the average if I did what these guys do.

[@JulioDx3480]

Great video!

[@nickchandler86]

Brandon is probably the smartest guy in the sport. And I love how that is combined with his interest in mental toughness and what it means to be a man. Dan on the other hand might be the most interesting personality that we have seen in power lifting. Brandon is right in that he is a cowboy and he goes his own way. But you know so many people, for so long, even after Dan is done, will want to know how he programmed and what he did.

[@3kingspowerlifting119]

If anything defines a BOSS, it's an 805 squat in knee sleeves

[@Azamoth88]

Best Animal Video EVER.

[@kpurohit2000]

Brandon is the toughest fighter! Just awesome!

[@ianson5815]

Awesome video

[@KyleGrieveStrong]

"Man the fuck up and do it." Enough said.

[@drifterxl83]

Keep it up BL!!!! BOSS keep BOSSIN IT!!!

[@Mega123tom123]

Animal always coming up with the goods!

[@Mega123tom123]

Already watched and liked it!! one step ahead of you Animal ;) Animal

[@martin2000raw]

Crazy how Brandon has already gone back to 700+ on the squat and deadlift.

[@Arcanian88331]

If you look up Monster in the dictionary you will find a picture of the Animal crew

[@DavidMartin-hb1bv]

4:16 not sure weather to focus on Brandon or Dan's mystical hair flowing in the wind...

[@theripper7675]

awesome squat dude!

[@Amansekha]

Respect Due ! 🙌💯

[@DatboyMart]

2 of the best

[@spazdal1]

What is that music playing? I like it!

[@SwompMonsta]

check out how easily dan and the other spotter get 500 lbs off bradon on his first attempt

[@JoshT2317]

Wtf hahaha that would've snapped my back

[@AtazuM]

Respect.

[@lukemeredith4628]

ok ok I'm motivated....

[@DesiCooney626]

Those locks blowing dramatically in the wind at 4:15 haha

[@Scott-ko6vi]

Respect

[@adamspeckert7296]

Brandon is showing some balls. I imagine it is frightening to squat down with any amount of weight after that injury.

[@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477]

That's brotherhood right there. Like the Bob Marley T-shirt, Brandon! Rastafari!

[@curtishenry1728]

Love seeing a miss followed by success! Get that shit!

[@benmcneil2303]

Brandon Lilly the beast

[@dazzelya]

Good for him. :)

[@DavidLopez-vh9ob]

Respect it

[@maccas5528]

workout playlist?

[@Hybridkepz]

Hell yeah!

[@MrBigturk34]

how about a 8/12 week power lifting trainer by Dan ?

[@claytonbarone2069]

what song plays while Dan is squatting??

[@Redhulkatkinson1379]

The Dragon is dead. Well done Brandon.

[@cheeses6356]

[@off8061]

I had the same injury, a year ago nov. an I am just back to squatting, only 135 I keep leaning forward. I see brandon doing the same anybody got any info on correcting this?!

[@Ataraxia462]

[@Jake.r606]

[@jordeharris3216]

[@Bigbadgsx]
