Haack is an absolute legend. Those numbers are ridiculous. I do believe him when he says he's natural. Those genetics are playing such a role, it blows my mind.
I love the contrast in the deadlift openers... Hubbard's dramatic anime setup vs Haack casually strolling up and picking up some bags of groceries lmao
Can you imagine being Haack and having Hubbard "beat" you with that crap? Powerlifting feds desperately need an update of the rules. Glad Hubbard got last but truth be told he didn't even deserve to be in that competition.
"This guy is a bench press monster" you could fly a fucking plane under that arch and the bars range of motion is a good 3 inches, I know it's all about moving weight but shit that form is just ridiculous
Ngl to you…I didn’t know John Haack had a world title in the IPF. I discovered him when he was already juicing. I knew he was already strong naturally, but this is insane!
I respect all the competitors coming here and doing their best performance on powerlifting but Hubbard, common bro the bench is just a big downside. Can’t believe they allow this in powerlifting, he has a full San Francisco bridge compared to the other two. But my boy John Haack it’s phenomenal, till this day he’s a different breed, he’s like a mini Larry Wheels💪
"This guy is a bench press monster" *proceeds to perform a silent baby rep* I'm still sure his full range of motion bench is better than mine tho, it just seemed funny
14:16 Just wtf is that setup. Since when can mashing your face into the bench be beneficial at all. Plus that huge arch should just be banned. The 3 inch ROM is just trash. Although to be fair all three are bloody strong
I love that fight! it's even more dramatic and fantastic than John's performance now! He has no competitors and enemies now but back then, he had a few! Love the comentators also. Greetings from Poland
I got respect for haack he kept it real and says he takes steroids, just makes you think how many people compete in "natural" federations but are lying about taking steroids it's kinda sad tbh

All these guys have amazing physical genetics
But only one has the brain of John haack
umm lol
@@dannyhelser5824 Once he left ipf and went untested his lifts literally blew up, so yeah i also believe john was natty in 2016
He has come out saying he takes stuff not much but he’s not natty lol

265 now I think 🤯
lol Haack ROM in bench press is twice Hubbards.

@@BigUriel for real
@@BigUriel happens all the time. Cough cough Sean Noriega. Its a bunch of bs but what are ya gonna do
@@BigUriel anyone can arch, even john haack, the rules are fine, he needs to learn how to arch
@@ddunn987 your just wrong lol, if you don't have good flexibility you can't powerlift, or you are goining to get consistently injured
Hubbard about to go in and kick some ass like he's in dragon ball z .
Benjamin Sarabia LMAO
Now Hack is has left humanity with his current lifts
Haack picture of his profile 😂😂
Lmao the deadlift setup from hubbard :D
Also the skwats
Bro training for aikido
I became blind trying to read the live scoreboard
"what a beast" .... 3 inch ROM. HAACK IS THE BEAST!!!
2 roid losers against him
That was embarrassing
I love this, the tension, and the emotional ups and downs. Just a great battle of strength and willpower.
That fucking arch that Hubbard had is fucking ridiculous
Michael Cataluna ridiculously good!
True - but if you can do it, its within the rules and it lets you lift more weight, why would you not do it?! :-)
hater
@@matthewjackson856 true but it shouldn't be in the rules
Is that candito in the commentary ? Lol
savage...xD
Thats what I thought
Johnnie Candito there in commentary as well! Fuck yeah
Maxx's Chicken Tenderloins Your profile 😂
John Haack is an absolute unit. Love watching him lift
That last DL attempt was amazing to watch. Kudos to him for letting it go. Live another day, champ!
His ego got in the way could have easily done 320kg
@@user-he7sc3fg3r ego?? The point of the competition is to win, it just makes sense to try to win in a competition where that's the whole point.
@@letsprogress4124 some people don’t know that competition requires a strategy 🤦🏽♂️
@@user-he7sc3fg3r Such a loser and ignorant comment.
Bretts butt did come up at his 3rd bench
100 % true!
Hubbard looking like he came straight out of the Ginyu Forces with that deadlift set up
hhahahahhahahah
bart kwan sighting 6:12
How Brett picked the weights is incomprehensible
Phuoc Hoang jp cauchi picked them for him
He should’ve won this easy
@@tomlynch5954 he shouldn’t. If he had got the squat then yh. But haack had more left in squat aswell
Hubbard's ridiculousness😩
8:00 hoodat in the sbd shirt 😍
Great commentary; really enjoyed watching this!
"This guy is a bench press monster" you could fly a fucking plane under that arch and the bars range of motion is a good 3 inches, I know it's all about moving weight but shit that form is just ridiculous
6:12 MOTHERTRUCKING BART KWAN
hes got a nice shirt
I was looking for this comment and it was 1st on the top haha
Bart Kweezy
Hubbard has a hell of a bench but his arch is so over the top that his range of movement looks so small compared to haack and gibbs.
I call it a pussy press.
Gibbs 😀
Hubbard🤪
Haack 😈
Commentary is ELECTRIC
John Haack is a chemist, that explains it.
Gibbs and Haack already went and Hubbard still setting up
Hubbard's form is ridiculous
All lifts were awesome, but DL wins tough
The MF DOOM beat at the end lol
What track is it
rhinestone cowboys
Great condensed video thank you so much!
If only Brett got at least a 282 squat he would win
28:30 that chick >/////
Hubbard bench ROM is a joke, with actual rules his lifts would be invalid.
Hey man thanks for uploading this
Haack way too tall for this manlet weight class
Ok Andre The Giant
@n00bie lol at actual manlets being tall in this category
Ngl to you…I didn’t know John Haack had a world title in the IPF. I discovered him when he was already juicing. I knew he was already strong naturally, but this is insane!
7:14 what is this ipf bullshit “the depth is not really convincing either” and red light for a bit of jitter
Haack: Strangely chill
Gibbs: Intense
Hubbard: Straight up crazy
Hubbard isna disgrace to powerlifting. That bench press my god i hate it
Hubbard pisses me off
his deadlift setup and his even squat with the grunts
Yea he is a bit of a wanker lol
his deadlift setup is embarrassing
Hime Sama dude over exaggerates a bit much.
Hime Sama if it helps him to squat smth like 4:34 then I would do it too lol
@@oldmateize It worked for him though.
hubbard is just a joke, cant take that guy serios

He's even better than larry tbh in powerlifting terms
6:15 Bart Kwan is in the crowd @BarbellBrigade
My boy Jonnie C with the commentary. What an amazing comp this was
brett is king
John hack is in his own league!!!
"This guy is a bench press monster" *proceeds to perform a silent baby rep* I'm still sure his full range of motion bench is better than mine tho, it just seemed funny
HUBBARD DRAMATIC AF
Way more passion than 2024
Why second squat of Gibbs is not good?
Hubbards just doing way too much
Brett Gibbs.... Love your work bro! Huge respect my man.
When did Frodo get buff?
Haack is my pastor
14:16 Just wtf is that setup. Since when can mashing your face into the bench be beneficial at all. Plus that huge arch should just be banned. The 3 inch ROM is just trash. Although to be fair all three are bloody strong
PozoBe why ban lol its allowed ..that set up is for your trapz lol
Some people have shorter arms so geneticly better. To be fair we should have all the same arms. Like it s not possible, you do what you want.
@@SuChappi you can't fix arm length with rules...
someone call an exorcist. his bench is ridiculous
Hubert 👀😤😂

i saw bart kwan 6:14
Those elastico arms on john hold him from bench wrs but make deadlifting a breeze
I thought my legs were long
Then I see haacks
Maria Htee is a Hawty.
This whole video is *chefs kiss
10:57 lady enjoying her /sips/
John hack is something else
When you move the bar 3 inches in a bench press.... smh. Strong as hell but....wtf
Incredible effort from all of them. Phenomenal 💪
Lol now I c why they r banning arching
dude make another of this year
USA#1
What is their weight class?
83
A wild Bart Kwan appears again at 29:12
Had no idea Gibbs is a manlet lololol
you can tell by his big head and tiny arms and legs lol
I got respect for haack he kept it real and says he takes steroids, just makes you think how many people compete in "natural" federations but are lying about taking steroids it's kinda sad tbh
He says he was natty here, which makes sense to me since he has completely changed in physique and strength after leaving ipf
Sumo lifters are just pure cringe.
Love all the hate Hubbard gets. As if he gives a fuck. Guys strong as hell.
How heavy is the squat bar?
About 250 kg, they put up the red plates so it doesnt look empty thats all.
Haack will not last with his technique got alot of heart tho same with Hubbard, Gibbs will win this year
Jamie Douglas Wow, this comment did not age well.
Haha dumbass
@@unky5724 this comment is 2 years old and gibbs won that year...
4 years later and Haacks raw total is now over 1005kg at 90kg.
@@Benchandbeyond yer its crazy
Aren't knee straps going to make the lift easier and so are essentially cheating?
Samuel Weston they are wearing knee sleeves they don't add weight.
Knee sleeves and knee wraps are 2 different things you idiot
Paulios04 lol at the hate hahaha
"knee straps"
epic battle
