Testing My One Rep Maxes

[@samuelbarrfitness]

Bro went from a skinny guy to a nearly 4 plates squat, 5 plates deadlift, and 500kg total. Living proof that hard work works.

[@EddieExplores]

I just started making KZbin videos. Does anyone have advice on how I can improve?

[@arsenalmanic]

Your grip is too narrow. I'm pretty sure if you had you grip wider would've been easier, and less distance to travel. This was 1 rep max, so it wasn't for hypertrophy, so it doesn't matter if you used a wider grip. Next time try wider grip

What I love about this channel is how authentic and real you are about your diet, training and mental health. Nothing seems fake, and your body transformation and journey seems very realistic and is due to hard work unlike many other fitness influencers. I just love how real all of your videos seem and it gives me hope to some day be as strong as you

[@bankroll834]

Joe, you've changed my life. Seeing your journey, and how you went from frail and skinny to jacked inspired me and has caused me to bulk up and gain 20 pounds over the last 3 months. I went from 65kg to 74kg and I've got a physique that I'm extremely proud of. Thank you for your videos man, I always enjoy them.

Congrats man great achievement! I'm almost 6'5 myself with a similar build like you and I think you could add many kilos on the bar instantly if you switched to low bar squatting and gripped the bar wider on the bench, hope the best!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@ates423]

I made some progress too. Started after watching this guys channel. In a year and a half I went from 140lbs to 215lbs at 6’4 I currently squat 3 plates deadlift a little over 3 plates and bench 2 plates. When I started I couldn’t bench the bar, do a push-up, pull-up, failed to squat even a plate, and couldn’t deadlift more than a plate and a half. Now I can bang out 13 strict pull-ups and can do 30 clap push-ups. Life is good Edit: been seven months, I hit 4 plate deadlift pretty easily, I can now raw ass to grass squat 3 plates (had a form rework from lowbar) could most likely hit 365lbs atg, and my bench is 265lbs still 215lbs, also just tested my mile run (never trained for it) and hit a 6:50.

[@pastorofmuppets9346]

Not to be that guy but if you only bench 2 plates at 215 theres likely smth wrong. Esp since youre clearly not weak if you can do 13 pullups at that weight. I mean even i can bench 210 at 155 and i always sucked at it soooo bad. And i dont even train anymore just some half assed maintenance once a week, just checked my pr for fun a few weeks ago

[@ates423]

@@pastorofmuppets9346 your arms aren’t as long as mine Edit: also my bench form was trash, only figured out how to bench just 2-3 weeks ago and my working sets are increasing by like 5-10lbs a week atm

[@scaroz2749]

500kg total at 83kg is very decent! My best was 540kg at 90kg. It was over 10 years ago though, I was 27 or so at that time. My goal was the 200kg squat, but I only got to 195kg without knew wraps. With them I got to 205kg. But nowadays with two kids, job and wife I am at 74kg and in a good fit shape... I miss Squats and deadlift though. 😅

[@aarr979]

yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy. Progress is the result of dedication. couldn't be more proud of you Joe. You are an inspiration to keep grinding away.

[@mill9r680]

Amazing that he only weighs 83 kg at 193cm height. Would have guessed at least 88-90 kg. Once again shows how important a low body fat percentage is.

[@Body.By.Bennett]

Yooo Joe I am so proud of you!! You’re officially a unit! It’s been crazy bulking up over the years and watching your vids as motivation. I was a twig just like you were and I think it’s easy to not appreciate progress in ourselves, so believe me when I say you are an inspiration to millions and should be proud of your hard work. God bless

[@atticuscooperjaggard6630]

170 kg squat at 6'4 is remarkable the rom is just crazy

[@incrediesta]

It’s very good but even though he is 6’4 his proportions are perfect for a squat. His upper body is almost straight up where a lot of people especially tall ones their upper body naturally has to practically face the ground. Wish I had his proportions. Why my max squat 130kg 😂 hate them honestly

[@peppesgabello]

@@incrediesta they're not perfect, he's just squatting high bar so his torso needs to be more upright. If he switches to low bar and widen the stance he can probably hit 180 or 190 easily. When you're tall and you have long femurs high bar squats are harder for your biomechanic, he keeps pushing his knees forward when he's at the bottom. Definitely needs to improve his technique, but he's a bit over 2xbw so anyway it's in the intermediate level. I've hit 140kg after 11 months of squatting starting from just the bar at 69bw, so 170kg at 83kg bw in 3y it's not that impressive but extremely realistic for most people. I think that he starts doing it 2/3x week he could get his squat to 200kg in half a year.

[@harric9864]

His Rom and technique isn’t that great. If he went lower bar and wider stance he could easily get more

It’s cool to see someone the same age as me has gone so far on this kind of journey. Holds me accountable, and reminds me “if Joe can do it so can I”. Keep on pushing Joe, you’re fucking killing it 💪

[@Jay-ob4ti]

Am I the only one who just isn’t impressed with one rep maxes? Like, I don’t get what benefit your body is getting from doing 1 rep, besides risking injury for the sake of (let’s call it what it is), ego lifting. 3-5 reps or more and I’d be impressed, but for me, 1 reps do absolutely nothing, I don’t care how heavy the weight is.

[@maxxd96]

It’s just a way to measure your top strength. A higher 1RM means you have improved since last time. Some people want to see how much they can lift, just like others want to run as fast as possible or jump as high as they can etc. Oh and the risk for injury in powerlifting is in fact much lower than many other sports.

[@Quinny520]
