Wow that was INSANE. Great job you are doing Mr. Broz, reviving the American weightlifting sport. Kudos my friend

[DamienPezzuti]

My favorite channel on YouTube. These videos are so impressive and motivate me for my own training. 396 FS @ 139 is so awesome.

First time we've seen much emotion from the young chap. Pleased for him.

[NickFreije]

@BROZKNOWS appreciate it. 40" it is. I was thinking more along the lines of $200-250 stands vs. 400-500--- but that sounds like a pretty good idea actually

[bbjrsr]

Good God Man! The dedication it must take. I love lifting weights and I love Browknows.

[cshslacrosse]

this guy better hit some huge numbers at nationals!! Not some little 190k which I was surprised to see on the comp list ha

[bongapendo]

Almost three times body weight. This kid has entered beast mode.

[DeadbeatXT]

this guy is going to set world records if he bulks.

The kind of lift you see and you have to fight the urge to not give up.

How does one keep the upper back from rounding/leaning forward when coming off the bottom of the squat? Do you have any advice for strengthening the upper back/fixing this? I'm guessing it's more front squats. Thanks in advance.

Ridiculously strong! :O Very very very good work! :)

[TheSuperber]

180kg front squat @ 63kg. atleast 10kg more on back squat i.e 190kg BS @ 63 BW. So Josh Gilbert is the winner of 3xBW squat race?

[SystemsofNervous]

139 pounds.... damn this dude is beast

[fattymacfatso]

Absolutley incredible. By the way I think this is the first time I've heard him make a noise.

[LesFayes]

guess we have a winner in the 3xBW back squat contest

[NickFreije]

@BROZKNOWS ok fine. just make sure you bring home 2 golds. Seems the 62's are the best class in America by far- a medal from Josh would be impressive. I'll be watching...

[mchaelhsu]

hey broz, i was wondering if you could post some footage of some failed attempts. i'm curious to see what kind of mistakes they make and how they fixed it. and also nice lift, i noticed josh cut down a bit of weight too

[evbl]

Mother of god.. Not sure if I should train more or just stop training at this point.

[SizzlinSisley]

Nice squat Josh, damn, I'm sure you will be snatching much more than 95 kg at nationals... I lifted with you at a competition in Washington a while back, and you mentioned taking some caffeine pills pre-lifting. I'm looking to switch up my pre-workout supps, what type did you say you used? Hopefully I'll be able to see your lifts at nationals, I'm lifting in 77

[Archvile]

he has progresses a lot!
has he ever been injured so far?
