WORLD RECORD SQUAT ATTEMPT (TOM PLATZ SQUAT CHALLENGE) Ft JUJIMUFU

[@SzatStrength]

HUGE RESPECT TO THE GOLDEN EAGLE

25 REPS MY GAWD TOM WAS THAT MAN

[@unsertainley]

Hail to the King! Credit belongs to the man in the arena

[@derekallen4568]

I have just watched the video of Tom doing the 23 squats. I don't want to take away anything from Tom Platz but he had a squat suit on and that gives massive support. It will definitely add extra reps.

[@blackenzaman9372]

Lamb of God is my JAMMMM

[@mitchellridgeway1864]

Lamb of God was on time! That was bad ass dude!

[@Sam-vk8xd]

At rep 20 the quads start glowing, at rep 21 the hair turns blond, at rep 22 the legs begin to get shredded, at 23 you become Super Saiyan God Super Tom Platz.

[@marcalamara5525]

Best comment so far :)

Super Saiyan Platzinum

Or none of that is true and you’re an absolute nerd

At 24 reps, Grizzly lays a medallion at your feet and says " you are now a God"

[@oftankoftan]

YOU HAVE TO F---ING DO IT!!

[@jujimufu]

I can see Joey smashing this very soon! If only he had timed his hype up song better. 😅

[@pcsmall]

You have to make sure he screams "LIGHT WEIGHT BABY" before he gets under the bar, he would have had it.

[@SzatStrength]

I’m still learning lol

That was lamb of god right? What song was it? Sounded fuckin awesome

I like that Juji left your lift out so we people had to come here too! Awesome way to share the love!

[@mellpear4773]

Sometimes I forget how much of a beast Joey is…then I see something like this 🤯 Unbelievable effort

[@larrysutton2001]

I did 315 for a set of 10 on the SSB this morning I was feeling like hot shit till I watch this video. Damn impressive

[@LeGou]

The craziest thing is platz would stay under the bar for crazy amounts of time. It's so damn taxing

[@bobbyhill4118]

You’re going to want to bulk up and get thick, now. That’ll get you to the 15 mark and once you start surpassing 15 and getting an upwards of 20, start going low weight low reps, which is what I’m going to do, you’ll start with like 365 for 5 and go up to 405, 425, etc. Get at least 8hrs of sleep and bulk up a good amount. Eat your burgers. Steak. Hot dogs. Milk. Rice. Cookies. Yk the drill

[@chrisc7764]

Jake Benson and Joe Sullivan couldn't do it either. Tom is a legend and so are you for getting 16, that was incredible!

[@jacobjohnson1504]

Bro, keep training for this! It is most definitely doable. Rooting for you big guy!

[@zfortyounce]

This is amazing. The other day I watched the video of Joe Sullivan getting to 20 reps and basically passing out. I kinda figured if Joe couldn't do it that we probably wouldn't see anyone get to 23. Way to go Joey, that was awesome!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Coach Joey is the strongest, but also a humble dude too. I appreciate that Joe if you happen to see this post. You and Juji is always a GOLD video !!!!

[@Samoyta]

Let's also remember that Tom Platz walked the bar out & walked it back. Insane display of power, endurance, & coordination.

[@FistfulOfGabagool]

and had a smile on his face the whole time 😂

[@Boxtalkandmore]

In a year, 23+ reps will be achieved by you! Keep training hard bro

525 isn’t easy for 1. You two did it for 10+. Awesome job!!

That was fantastic! One thing missing, the Tom Platz smile while he’s doing the squat! Freakin awesome guys well done Joey!

[@ulric9964]

Damn. The state of mind to attempt this alone is impressive. Not many people can grind through a set like that.

[@jamar2349]

I'm not going to lie when you unracked that weight and Lamb of God kicked I got pretty fired up. Props man.

[@CRhodesDesign]

The editing for the music drop 👌🏻👌🏻

16 reps of that is still next level. Awesome work. Well done

[@GoIrish75]

this is so incredibly inspiring. these men are super human.

[@scooobyj8714]

Wow. That was impressive. I would be happy with one rep at that weight.

[@peterlowry6990]

loved that build up to the attempt! Was sitting here in my lounge, refusing to go to bed, shouting at the TV 😅

[@Adam_B_Shooting]

You doing this with Lamb of God playing made me want to run out of work and to the gym and blast squats until I died hahaha. Good stuff.

[@michelecampus_]

You can do it, but memento mori

[@HeavyDuty608]

After watching those other guys attempting this, I was going for a 5 sets of 315x10 on high bar yesterday night, On the tenth rep first set I had a nasty muscle spasm on my lower back … long ways to go to that 525.

[@Zombiehunter360]

your videos with jujis are my favourite. I hope you do more and with the bugez!

[@briang.9817]

Imptessive! I hurt my hip about a year ago and had to start with the bar weight only! It’s been slow but I’m on the way at 64 years young! 💪🤠🇺🇸

[@koolkat214]

I believe in you, Brian. You can do this! :)

[@CFreedom]

Joey I've re-watched this video several times this year to get hyped up for some heavy squat sessions. Good stuff!

[@smithguitar]

Fantastic song choice, what a banger. Nice work Joey, the mental prep going into that is pretty unimaginable, and what an unreal feat of strength. You da man!!

[@PlasmaFuzer]

Awesome set Joey! Killing it.

[@lesegoshibambo1994]

16 reps is killer! 🙌🏾🔥 crazy!

[@SzatStrength]

thank you!

[@justusadair6569]

First comment I see before I started the video 😂😂 sad

[@VerticalSound]

Those who hate are not only jealous of the physics and strength these individuals have accomplished...but the one that kills them is the absolute comradery and brotherhood that is found in the gym. These guys are amazing and why at 44 years old I still love going to the gym.

[@liamcalland5705]

Solid attempt! Impressive strength dude!

[@SzatStrength]

thank you!

[@sightlinestrategies]

That was insane and fun to watch. Loved it. You will crush 23 there is no doubt.

Daaamn. Coach Joey turning into a house 🧱🏠 Keep it up big guy. You dropped this 👑

[@pretty_flaco]

“i don’t know how i keep getting hurt guys”- Coach Joe

[@MasoNowa]

I hit 295x22 on the SSB a while back and totally blew my attempt at 315 and stopped at 14 reps. It's a different feeling and hitting that weight with no prep is insane! One good training cycle and 23 might be there

Hell yea!! With Memento Mori blasting. So good!

[@mariusjohansen702]

Memento mori is such a good song for this stuff. Love it. Great effort guys.

[@JK2Kans]

Awesome stuff Joey, keep it up.

[@zerosdeath]

Lamb of God while squatting? Instant sub! I don't lift heavy anymore, switched to martial arts, but this is 10/10. I could watch this all day.

[@nvslknm]

I have an Ironman magazine from February 1995 that had a Tom Platz feature and interview. While rereading last week ...... Ironman What was the heaviest weight you used on the squat during your intermediate stage of your training? Tom Platz: Let me think back now because it's been a long time. I would say back than my best would've been around 500 pounds for a double or a triple. Later I was able to do much more---615 for as many as 15 reps.

[@seanixs]

AMAZING! Good work Joey

[@z1X2c3V47]

Amazing lift! When the video started I wasn't expecting that high a rep count! Momento Mori slightly unnerving choice but I love it 😆

[@OrbvsTomarvm]

tribute to you joey 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@taylorgonzales5407]

[@CleveDeansHand]

How insulting to THE BUGEZ! Doing work Szats, really impressive. I puked via osmosis just from watching. When can we get another huge collab with all of you guys? You, Juji, Bugez, Zack, Clarence, Magnus and Devon? Would be awesome to see you all put together some multi part series video of challenges. Maybe some type of tram competition? Love the channel and the real world, practical advice you give and your honesty about all aspects of training. We need more honest individuals like you involved in the community.

[@hnc9]

This is beautiful, ridiculous strength. Not trying to overshadow this, but I remember seeing a vid of Chad Wesley Smith doing 500 X 22 and he looked like he had alot more in the tank. Granted I'm sure he was like 350 lbs and had a crowd cheering him on lol

[@mastersironmantarmstrong7148]

Probably didnt have anything close to Platzs depth though

[@patrickkeeney3259]

Dammmmnnnn, AWESOME!!!

[@zephrumcockren]

Honest to god legit effort so happy that you are both walking away healthy!

[@dennisorr1746]

Great job doing 16 reps! Yes, Tom Platz was a different breed, not one of the big guys but definitely a true warrior way ahead of his time.

[@chaosdisciple3052]

I can't believe I'm not subbed to this channel. Lemme fix that.

[@ryanshreevedrums]

I struggle to load 525 onto the bar. In fact, ive never loaded that on the bar 😂

[@TheHamsterMaster]

Lifting heavy shit to some heavy metal (and not some rap crap) = RESPECT

[@djsubliminalreeve]

gotta think of it as it only 7 more reps and if you trained specifically for high reps it always plays a benefit for this. i remember doing 8 sets of 20 on squats for a few months my legs got big and i got way faster at the reps too. the fact that you smashed out 16 reps when not really preparing for this just shows how strong you are as tom platz trained high reps and crazy shit all the time.

[@dansmith9724]

I heard Tom Platz when training legs heavy, hard and high volume, that it would take 2-4 weeks before he'd ever train legs again. Easy to see why.

[@centralparkjoe1290]

Tremendous!🤙💪🔥

[@alisioardiona727]

Edie Hall did 15 reps with 715Lb/325Kg, which might be comparable.

[@davidselawsky6620]

Joey has elite strength! Damn brother! Awesome job!

[@rogerlouie1]

You're much stronger than I am but I sometimes do crazy shit like this (I do the 315 for 20 reps thing at least once a year since 2019 but I'm also 90is KGs/200lbs). Here's my tip to make it without passing out or feeling so terrible after doing a heavy but high-rep squat set: Force yourself to breath heavily and rapidly during the whole lift. It will look stupid but it prevents the tunnel vision and inability to get your breath after the set.

[@ricepattyfatty25]

Honestly, I'm skeptical of Tom on this one. High bar squat with high bar velocity with little to no bar bend (granted idk the bar used). But this right here, in this video, is some nutz stuff

[@rockbolton8173]

Bad fucking ass dude! Truly an impressive feat!
