Here is a beautiful edit of Jon North’s recent 235kg Squat 5RM.

The squat cycle from Hell has finally come to an end. 3 weeks out from the Arnold, and I have never felt more alive. (via)

How much did the headphones weigh?

  not as much as his ego………
Gee

Anyone know whether he has changed his stance? Looks ridiculously narrow!
- GuestyGuest
  
  Glenn commented a few weeks ago that he keeps trying to make him move his stance out lol. I think in his last podcast he talked about why he chooses such a narrow stance, I think it’s his power position for starting the clean. It does look narrower than usual though.

    Just wondering…almost Rybakou-ish…

      In one of the mdusa episodes he had his heels together to troll the youtube commentators lol.

For those of you who would rather skip the 3 minute cinematic buildup for an assistance movement 5RM that takes 30 seconds…

Weakest legs in weightlifting!
- sporting
  
  235×5 would put him @ perhaps 265-270 max(optimistic). Only if you compare him to top 5-10 worlds lifters perhaps he is ‘weak’

    That was a joke based upon Jon North’s past comments about him having the weakest legs/squat in Weightlifting.

      In that case jon better retract his statement or put up a 170 snatch :p

He is cocky as hell but the guy works hard.

  Can’t help but wonder if guys like him would be better or worse athletes without the ego

Same body weight, 10kg more from Kendrick Farris just posted today.

  I couldn’t help but notice he was wearing an LSU t-shirt. Coincidence or a message to Farris?

  weird thing is that kendrick was squatting 243 for 10 a year ago and it looked quite a bit easier
