Big fan of this lad, no ego or big headedness about him either, he seems quite a shy lad but he’s a genuine freak of nature, his strength defies humanity
John's mindset is a perfect example of don't over complicate things(tracking your diet, reps, accessories), instead just stay consistent with goals, which is either being stronger or looking better in the gym than the previous day.
When we trained with John back in the day I would always say three things to him, 1. Your calves are small 2. You’re Mo Hos second best bencher. 3. You’re going to be the goat. 😉
John is so unique or like against the grain (at least imo)… he goes against like every stereotype he’s a part of. For ex: 1. In TX we’d always ask someone that was angry all the time “boy’d you grow up on a dairy?” Because every morning regardless you’d have to wake up 5 am to feed cattle and milk them, no days off. 2. Fucking guy’s the least most meathead meathead I’ve ever seen. Taking steroids, somehow completely levelheaded and lowkey just a huge gamer guy at the same time. 3. Powerlifts but with half written programming 4. Powerlifter but aesthetic as fuck (without accessories) These are just what I thought of off the top of my head like man what a black sheep
Unrelated to working out, or anything else on this channel, Mark inspired me to rock the Chevron mustache. Shaved, and shaped it last night, and I don't regret it one bit. I would go as far as saying the mustache itself increases testosterone. It exudes powerful manliness. Anyhoo. The 'stache looks great Mark. You should consider rocking that look for the rest of time.
it took forever but it was worth it funny john's an "intro extrovert" also sad that we don't get to see him do all those collabs seeing john and cbum would be amazing
If Johns rlly not BS'ing about his doses thats impressive as fuck. Many guys are on over 2 grams a week of injectables in meet prep easily plus orals and sublinguals. 750 test, 750 EQ, 500 deca and 50 anavar every day for example, then on training days stronger orals like dbol, anadrol, halo, superdrol and on most important days even more exotic stuff like methyl-tren oral or injectable, czech drops oral or sublingual, injectable test suspension and injectable tren suspension. 250 test and 50 anadrol a day is nothing compared to some of his competitors and guys from some years ago. Like pete Rubish was 2 grams test, 1.2 grams EQ and anavar and halo. Up to 4 grams a week by powerlifters has been seen in extreme cases.
@@bjornprinz3900 No when did I say that. You by week with inject compounds and day with oral compounds. There have been guys who have gone over 4 grams in a week in total both injectables and orals.
He’s definitely bullshitting. I’ve noticed people these days are finally admitting they’re on gear but the new ‘fake natty’ move is downplaying the dosing. I still think he’s incredibly gifted and gear or no gear would be way ahead of everyone else but he’s got to be in at least 500mg to 1g per week, even then it would be a stretch
@@yungnietzsche2302 Oh 100% man that is very true. "Im only on trt" was the new fake natty when their actually taking small cycles and now Im only on a lower dose of a blast that its barely a blast is the newest lie when someone is on over a gram. there's no way to verify what someone takes unless we get blood work we could at least see test levels and make a rough estimate there. Who tf knows. Its prolly more like double what he said for everything hes taking. 600 test and 100mg of var or anadrol a day. Also is prolly on some peptides or GH. Although powerlifters drug protocols are often surprisingly poorly thought out and one dimensional so maybe hes only on the test and oral. Would be interested in knowing what he does as far as blood work, echocardiograms, blood pressure tracking, meds, supps, diet while on blasts. I wanna see if hes doing things right or if hes like most powerlifters who dont do things properly. Meds, supps, diet and cardio can all make a very significant impact on blood markers. A good ancillary protocol is a daily dosing of an ARB med, a beta blocker, a low dose of a statin and cialis/viagara.
About Mark saying people like old athletes because they grew with them and got inspired by them when they were young, well my goat is always gonna be John Haack, and I think imma be the grumpy guy who will tell kids that their new goat is nothing compared to what John Haack was.
I’ve always been a fan of the hex bar. Hex bar deadlifts feel better on my back/spine and I feel like the movement and maybe the loading angle/progression is more suitable to my height and limb length as well….
I tried to up my frequency on bench and both my arms/shoulders felt like they were ran over by a truck. My left shoulder already bothered me.... I have no idea what percentage I should be using on my sets. If I do 3 sets of 6 and a set off 4 what %are they at and what rpe
They care because they know you’re on gear when you make the switch and it’s an incredible advantage to a natty lifter so they want a year to have it clear your system. Keeps things even.
200 and something mg of test is literally nothing, I don’t believe him at all. He’s still genetically gifted and put in the hard work, can’t take it away from him that no matter how much gear people run, he would still be better BUT I’m calling bullshit. Even 500mg per week isn’t that much, most big/strong dudes in the gym run 1 gram minimum, very often a few grams. I don’t know why people feel the need to lie about it, you’re being honest about drug use but still can’t be honest about dosing?
Such a GREAT podcast AND then something about the X-Men first Glass and Charles Xavier. .mhhh🤔dont we have to say now X-persons?political correct and me too?
High bar, minimal arch, conventional. John is everything we all wish we could be.
Eh... Pretty good arch
High Bar, Close Grip, Conventional is the superiority.
@@skaizu Low bar, arch of the Golden Gate Bridge and sumo is absurdly beta
@@joeysavino385it’s always nobody’s that say dumb shit like that

He also posts funny ass memes on Instagram lmao

And train like a maniac
John Haack is my favorite powerlifter ever and he seems like such a cool dude. Now that he hit the 1005kg at 90kg he is 🐐 status too
I shook Johns hand once at a music festival, greatest day of my life
Which one was it? Ultra?
Hard summer
Forever crippled…
“Haven’t washed my hands since”

Glad to see Mark getting the top power lifters on again in studio! John Hacck is the man
I love how down to earth John Hack is, and he plays OSRS so mad respect from me!
The osrs part may put him above even kyriakos grizzly
I reckon he underplays how advanced his training program probably is
True. Could just be that he doesn’t think this is the right venue to get into the details

So much strength from Wisconsin: John, Pete Rubish and Eric Bugenhagen.
Kaz as well
You mean ROTUND BULBOUS HORSE COCK GIRTH?
John Haack: tear two quads, break a world record. Rest of us: Tear two quads, can't move for a month.
He didnt tear the quads, he strained them
@@deadcakesandpanlifts2019 A strain is tearing, just at a lower degree.
@@BenjaminKuruga Just as getting pierced by a needle is stabbing, but u dont say i got stabbed if a needle pierced you
@@deadcakesandpanlifts2019 Connotation, sure. But physiologically the muscle tissue is still torn.
He’s so inspiring - what a beast!
I could listen to John talk all day 🐐
We all had it wrong, John ain’t captain america.
He’s a farmboy who’s always been strong….John’s literally Superman :’)
Dude yes!!!! I love old school RuneScape too John so badass!
Watching this the day he posted his 600 bench gym lift.
What an awesome podcast. Real talk about the sport, I really dig it.
what a collab!
You can tell mark is in love with John 🤣
If he’s telling the truth his genetics are insane, running at the most 200mg a week pulling close to 900lbs. Insane
I believe him. He was an absolute freak as a natty
@@professionalbirdlawyer7443 I believe him too. Really no need to lie, once you’re not natty you’re not natty
Great discussion as always
Mark Bell with a mustache. So official. Like a young Mark Rippetoe.
Inb4 the red face and stomach
Love how he's hit his big 3 goals already
Just watched John at the hybrid show, wicked show all around.
Would LOVE to see John doing some strongman!!
Someone needs to tag moreolatesmoredates for his talk about steroids
it took forever but it was worth it
funny john's an "intro extrovert" also sad that we don't get to see him do all those collabs seeing john and cbum would be amazing
Science Olympia 4th up here! Followed
Didn't want this to end

Is Nsima growing a tumor on his shoulder or is it a second head?
Bilbo is such a chill guy
too funny...i heard feed the calves and i was waiting for someone to ask about that....I'm a dairy farmer in vermont
I’ve always been a fan of the hex bar. Hex bar deadlifts feel better on my back/spine and I feel like the movement and maybe the loading angle/progression is more suitable to my height and limb length as well….
John still has jr ipf world record
1:52:25 Correction. He is the best in the World
I imagine missing a 900 pound deadlift!!!💪
Ed Coan is the man
John says "like" so much lmao
I tried to up my frequency on bench and both my arms/shoulders felt like they were ran over by a truck. My left shoulder already bothered me.... I have no idea what percentage I should be using on my sets. If I do 3 sets of 6 and a set off 4 what %are they at and what rpe
Bilbo swaggins the goat
John's so strong he trains , Chuck Norris.
The GOAT
He sounds like Nick Swardson
Mark has hair? How long have I been in a coma?
John just wants to be the strongest. ;)
John is like a real nice guy, but like when he talks, like, he is like, very fucking hard to listen too, like
Mark really thought John got the way he is by milking 1 family cow…
I’m glad they touched on how jacked he is. He looks like an IFBB pro. Crazy genetics.
I got goal for joh haack beat dan bell at 110/242kg weight classand get all time world record in every weight category.
how did he tore both quads and be ok without surgery? was it like partial tear or strain or something?
Muscle tears maybe? Rather than tendons? Idk that's hardcore
No fricken way does he play RuneScape so many strong nerds
The black guy is more than twice the size of the other 2 guys and hes natural.
So you have oatmeal, a protein shake, and a banana for breakfast and then snacks throughout the day… how do u get big not eating?
We gotta remember that Ed Coan is not Raw powerlifter it was single ply
🐐
Nsigmas delts 💪🏽
Why does Nsima look more jacked than John? Wasnt he natty the last time I checked?
John Haack is a fuckin beast.
Can someone ask him about his daily diet.
They did. He follows the RP strength diet, and generally focuses on protein intake and timing
NOTE: Uncrustables and Fruit Snacks!!! Gains inbound
You guys talk so quietly, it’s like you’re in a library. 🤓
these guys are the CIA interrogators of the powerlifting community lol
They care because they know you’re on gear when you make the switch and it’s an incredible advantage to a natty lifter so they want a year to have it clear your system. Keeps things even.
170g of protein per day? Did i hear that correctly? Damn, thats unexpected.
Ed Coan squatted 1000 lbs at 220 lb body weight...
For some reason he looks kinda like Kenny Patterson to me
Bro's gona hit 2300 @ 198
1:09:10 Pendlay Row
It’s insane how he’s a human but at the same time he’s not with the weight he moves 😂
Badass
milk straight from the tank is the best! all i drink
Steroids are cool.
They really are aren't they
I think this guy is a haack
bru even haack wants cbum
Could have asked him about his poop..but otherwise great interview 😁
Shout out to OSRS!
Dude how fucking tall is John??????????
Lol, farm boy->pharm boy
Andrew sold sarms to my daughter at the nightclub last night, i want to have a few words with him

Wtf Mark has hair?💇
What's with the 80's porn mustache?
Bullshit even if he was at max ehp 1000 hours isn’t enough to be close to max in osrs
