Squat Secrets of Legendary Powerlifter Donnie Thompson

[@NorthStrongSC]

Donnie is looking great! Deleted my IG a while ago but he is one of the best follows. Have gotten so much good info from him over the years.

[@jujimufu]

Some of the things he says is so completely put of the box but not woo woo or suspicious. I gotta get him to talk about what his "get weaker intentionally" after he retired strategy he used. It blew my mind first time he shared it. More to it than just what I'm saying here but yeah. Love Donnie and his ideas.

[@TheVice48]

Why delete it ? You couldn’t handle the girls with big butts anymore ?

[@BMO_Creative]

Jujij also drops some MAJOR wisdom... "You can't do some of this stuff online. You need a crew"... Well said Sir!

[@king-rabbit]

Wow, that dog is an absolutely great training partner, just chilling right there (probably assess your technique). Thank you for the positive content!

[@jujimufu]

Lou Lou the bulldog is always a treat to see!!!

[@muscleandstrength]

Awesome video. The bowtie that Spud and Donnie made was a game changer for my bicep tendonitis.

[@_oskarrr]

Great vibe. Squatting together like that is basically a spiritual experience. I used to do box squats every Friday with some friends and we would always go heavy and afterwards we would just destroy our legs with leg press, leg extensions, front squats, lunges, bodyweight squats etc (maybe not all in one workout ha). There is just something about doing it together that makes it so much better...

[@Janoy_Cresva]

I remember watching Donnie Thompson circa 2011 on Mark bells channel when he was squatting 1200+ lbs. Great to see him still moving weight like nothing

[@TimC19]

Loved hearing the roberto garza and olin kreutz stories, my 2 favorite Chicago Bears.

[@ImaWreckU]

Interesting capture, at about 13:02 you can actually watch the hip muscles fire off the box.

[@ZEvenEsh]

SuperD is an absolute genius, if you’re reading this, do yourself a favor and learn from him and dig up all of his old videos and articles, it’s absolutely amazing stuff🏆🏆🏆

[@herculesinwyoming]

Glad to see more new content. Juji and mufudad are both great inspiration for me.

[@EvanCentopaniOfficial]

Donnie is the man!!!

[@robdoe8694]

Looking forward to the gym tour! I always love 'em.

[@ville6338]

Great watch! I especially like the finnish flag on the rack!

[@TrenbologneSandwich]

Respect to how he does the weights. I do all out but first in, rest out is completely valid

[@Lickmabumbum]

Donnie Thompson is awesome!!

[@hostiletilly26]

grip and donnie thompson videos are amazing

[@deadlifttillimdeadofficial]

God bless Donnie he’s the Tesla of Powerlifting!!!

[@BuggyBuddy93]

Juji is strong, smart and a sweetheart .. I found inspiration

[@TrenbologneSandwich]

Great thinking there, wanting to go into surgery as strong as possible. It's like getting sick but you're as healthy as possible, the pandemic thing didn't really hurt me because I'm healthy so even getting sick I just felt a little meh and bounced back fast. I tore my front delt competing 2 weeks ago and am already fully healed. An object in motion stays in motion

[@kl51223]

Find your home, then take it take the boat the whole way through the other continent. 20:52 Like you don't want to jump ship, in the middle of the ocean. I love that you said yea after that lmao bc ik you were confused but he meant what he said

[@davidroob4835]

Donnie is the man!! Loved this one!

[@irongeek7933]

Those York plates, wow, awesome!

[@nunninkav]

Glad for the knee update.

[@87sport]

That really was a great video!

[@andrewhauge2489]

Freaking jacked these days❤!!! Great video love all the old school stuff lately

[@ulfar321]

man that bar looks really fun to squat with

[@setitfree78]

So when a car is on top of you while your sitting in a chair eating breakfast you'll be able to sit up lifting the car too. Got it.

[@BMO_Creative]

Juji honestly looks younger with the shorter hair!

[@koleary1798]

Donnie is funny as fuck. Like he could just walk onto the set of a Coen Brothers movie and not have to change a thing.

[@marekbecker1]

I would leave the red notes a bit longer on the screen sometimes I had to wind back because I couldn’t finish reading them

[@barometricfunk]

Donnie’s gym reminds me a lot of Juji’s barn gym when he first moved to his current home.

[@johndonovan5521]

Holy hell Mr 3000 is looking tiny!!!!! Hope his health is good!

[@jujimufu]

He dieted and does cardio now. He's in great health.

[@johndonovan5521]

@@jujimufu good to hear!!!!! His channel doesn't put out much anymore and I'm not into social media.... thanks for the info

[@Boofmasterflex]

You don't call a powerlifter tiny bruv. Especially friggn Donnie Thompson

[@johndonovan5521]

​@@Boofmasterflex when the man was near 350-375# 2yrs ago and is now 100# down

[@SabinFigaro]

Juji looking huge!

[@TheMessiahOfThe99Percent]

Gotta get those frog quads!

[@gamehunter8812]

Did the matador bar feel a bit awkward on your post ex chain and also I jeevr knew about the #'s on the plates until today, 100's inside everything else , outside , as always your collaborations are fire, and I too share your passion for working out and living this lifestyle. I'm not an English major lol. Much love

[@z13l11]

Hey juji do you plan on being at wsm again this year?

[@Ian.lifts.]

Fantastic

[@vincentscalia7348]

Great vlog cool gym 💪🏋

[@joshuasteinke8537]

Tried to buy the bar online but never made it to production. I have a crushed spine so would be great to squat without pressure on spine. Any chance of getting a design spec of it so i can get it made local?

[@robdoe8694]

Belt squats are probably a better option.

[@livestrongforever]

the weight loss Donnie hit me harder than anything else

[@hugostuvel6643]

Very interesting😊

[@uchihaobito5071]

are you going to visit devon tommorow in turkey?

[@anthonybartolotta3469]

What about legasaurus? Does he still have it? (H-squat)

[@jujimufu]

Yessir! Next vid coming our Sunday!

[@anthonybartolotta3469]

Awesome!

[@Gericioh]

Juji will you ever try armwrestling again, i loved watching you armwrestle and i think you could kick some a**! Love your vids keep doing you brutha!

[@tonybarfridge4369]

Wait, that's Juji? Will miracles never cease?

[@jetski275]

Is anything like that bar available on the consumer market? I want I want

[@batsoupman1697]

Transplant hair is getting better, hoping for a 6 month update!

[@myfitnessbutler7878]

I NEED that bar! lol

[@troncvert7419]

1:41 Donnie looks like a giant toddler about to be picked up by his dad.

[@smitemus]

I'd love a story of how the bright and colourful finnish flag got on the equipment 😁

[@robdoe8694]

I was wondering that as well. Perhaps he had a Finnish strongman in there?

[@Hybridknfgrowchannel]

Doing sumo sits and the ORIGINAL hack squat holding a bar behind you will fix knee issues real quick

[@Oho159]

yessssss!!!!!

[@danielhiberg8551]

Am I the only one shocked by Levi`s foot-placement? How does he squat in a half split?

[@koleary1798]

I'm guessing that for the most part he squats in a squat or at least briefs? Never tried them, but to my understanding they make it so sitting back into a squat is more optimal for max weight, and a wide stance makes it easier to sit back, plus minimises the ROM needed to hit full depth.

[@SabinFigaro]

1k squats?! Damn, Levi! Fuuu...

[@blu_gouf477]

Wow I didn’t even recognize Donnie I thought he was the spud inc guy LOL

[@fernandesalexf]

I still don’t get the need of the chains, but like the bar

[@jamaanders1817]

Saw Donnie's name and I clicked

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

Slowly overtime , every conjugate /Westsider guy looks like Louie Simmons 😂

[@cx2900]

$85 in 1985 is equal to $246.73 (according to the editor of this video lol). that means that the dollar has lost 2/3rds of it's value in 40 years... given the fact I was planning on living for the next 40 years or more, this is quite depressing

[@yourimpossibletoisgn]

y'know if you love the bar, you should probably sell them.

[@paavoilves5416]

Im wondering, whats up with the Finnish flag on the rack?

[@DEVONSFOREARM]

💪💪💪💥💥💥

🧨👊

🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@DirtyDrops]

Goated

[@chestercheetah21]

Never understood does super spreader squats, seems like you’re really limiting the amount of quad you can use

[@LatimusChadimus]

Woooooooo

[@TheMessiahOfThe99Percent]

Yeahhh

[@lemoi6462]

What happened to her hair????

[@hirepgym6913]

Dondie aint so fat now 😆

[@RadPitt]

I can finally watch him now. For some reason, his hair pissed me off. He's his just get a transplant cost s only 1000 dollars

[@austenslost]

He’s a lot thinner now

[@Jafmanz]

yeah just make the entire lifting environment conform to you! Fuk that.. may as well lay down!

[@coomman-e4j]

gorilla mode

[@jamesdouthat3999]

steroids

[@Typhus-th6ud]

Big man's bicep is just shredded I'm always so scared of that happening. Got tennis elbow now at first I thought "that's it I did it detached my bicep". After seeing his here I thought "that's it more reps not more weight".

[@Zooky424]

Donnie is the man!!
