2 things to note. 1. The back flex at 10:14 was from December of 2012. My best total at the time was actually 1179 lbs, because I bombed out from my last meet. 2. I am going to test my vertical through real measurements later, and dunk on indoor courts. I know there are always doubters on outdoor hoops. We're just getting started.
It's actually pretty inspiring how long Johnnie has been on a really high level and keeps rediscovering himself and fitness. I've also become a big fan of diverging from pure strength training and pursuing other fitness endeavors. Shoutout to Bioneer RUclips channel, this guy does it all.
My favorite point you made is on focusing on just a couple goals at once. This is what I (and probably most people) struggle with the most, because there are too many things we want to accomplish, or because we don’t really have specific goals in the first place. Bonus is that these goals are both right up my alley so thank you for the motivation.
This video is so inspiring. i love seeing people get more multifaceted in their training. i've had to do the same recently and I have never felt better.
We're in the ripped Alan Thrall arc now, boys. Nothing but love to the strongest manlet, from another fellow manlet EDIT: RELEASE SEVEN WEEK YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN
Oh, man. The 2012 RUclips fitness community was something else. I remember POG, Matt Ogus, Chris Lavado, Candito, etc etc. I was jogging five miles a day and lifting three days a week as a 24 - 25 year old. It’s good to hear you’ve added to your numbers dude, because I’ve lost all of mine, in my thirties, getting the motivation to power lift is not something I have. I bang out calisthenics when I’m feeling like a workout 🤷♂️
I remember that old video with Omarisuf where you talked about being "athletic aesthetic", I love this concept and that is something that I always kept in mind during my fitness journey, so excited to see you going back to that!
I’m soooo down with this! My best weighted chins were 90lbs added for 6 strict. But right now I’m probably no where near this! I def can’t do no vert but I’m gonna make some vids on weighted chins! 2021 is the year of aesthetic physiques, strong non relevant lifts and big totals! 😂 I’m gonna tag you in my chin starting video
I think you need to count bodyweight for chinups + added weight and thats total weight lifted.For example if 180 guy does chins with 100 lbs thats 280 lbs total weight.if 220 guy does chins with 80 lbs thats 300 total weight which is still more overall weight.
@@mattjackson2799 I don't think it's that simple tbh, since the 220lb guy probably has more muscle mass than the 180lb guy, which will assist him in the Weighted pullups.
@@marcs7566 the issue is when it comes to bodyweight movements the additional strength gained for each unit of bodyweight is so much less than that unit of bodyweight. I don't care how lean you are, the easiest way to increase your weighted (insert bodyweight movement here) is to lose weight. If you want to be "smart" about it, of course, just stop training legs and try to get them to atrophy as quickly as possible 🙃. Also Matt's solution is solid
@@nathanvanderriet209 Yeah, but surprisingly a lot of the top streetlifting/weighted calisthenics athletes do bulk and mathew zlat being an example bulks upto 100kg from 95kg to become stronger in weighted dips. Also the heaviest weight ever done for the weighted dip and pullup we're people who are 100+kg.
I do train Weighted pullup and dip as a serious main lift . I had been using a conjugate method however In the past 6 months . My field is mainly Calisthenics skills and strength but combine with barbell movement for lower body and athleticism
I recently just stopped training heavy, but I also don't care about how much it looks I can lift. I just want to be well rounded and athletic. Being athletic and healthy while also still being realitively strong matters to me more than looking big.
In reference to the ending. I actually had my mom start doing a few the knees over toes guys exercises a few months ago. He has good rehabilitation and "bullet proofing" exercises for people who are kinda old and not very active. Just gotta remember to play the long game.
Those workouts are amazing, I got his basic program at the end of my hamstring tear rehab, could barely walk without discomfort and I'm jumping and lifting weights again after only 4 weeks.
Hey Candito, I really loved how informative and down to earth this video was. I just wanted to let you know that I've been following you for over 5-6 years and you were the reason I got into strength training back then. Your free beginner program is what got me started and I appreciate you for that. Keep grinding, and keep being you because it's definitely what attracted me and kept me a follower of your channel for life.
I've been training chinups and dips as my main upper body strength movement for almost a decade. I've found that they can both be programmed similarly to bench press, when you start getting strong enough at chins/pulls you have to be careful with the fatigue crossover with deadlifts if your dead is more back dominant.
I'm happy to have been a subscriber for quite a few years now (I had a search through my comment history and found one on a video about overcoming negativity from March 2014) and am really happy that you are back to regular videos. I am about the same age as your dad and I was never really a weight trainer as a young man, generally athletic, but not into working out, and 2014 I was really trying to get into regular weight training and was looking at many different channels to get advise and ideas. Yours was one that I subscribed to early in that process and I got a lot out of it. I look forward to seeing what you do here and maybe can use it to motivate myself after 6 very unhealthy years has seen me gain 40+ pounds and lose the strength I spent a several years building with the help of your channel and others.
This is the funniest and most creative fitness video I’ve watched in recent times. Good luck getting wifed up Jonnie. *edit* Stay away from tinder, fb dating is where it is at
Alec enkiri has treated the weighted chin up pretty seriously. Maybe not like powerlifting standards but really heavy. Don’t quote me on this but he’s done like 135x5 at 160/170 or something similar.
Europe/Asia streetlifting guys has 100kg+ on the chin/pull which is pretty crazy. Russian guy did 160+kg on cam but it’s a bit dirty. Highest judged one is like 110kg I think
@@goodoldtom The heaviest clean and paused at the top weighted pullup is 100kgs by mathew zlat, but the heaviest overall in a comp is 120kg by Mathew zlat and the all time heaviest is 160kg by andrey smaev.
@@marcs7566 Yea, I didn’t include the 120kg at the CWWB because of different/less strict rules not requring pause; I believe Zlat has 110kg chin under ISF rules tho. For pull other people like Pere Coll also has 100kg. But Candito is doing chins so I omitted. And yes smaev has insane 160kg gym/dirty lift
@@goodoldtom Yeah I just checked Matthew's instagram and yeah he did 110kg clean and how much do you think andrey can do in the weighted chinup ISF rules? I think he could do 140kg clean at his peak.
Three key recommendations I have for a powerlifter beginning to train for jump goals are: 1) Gradually progress volume and intensity of jumps. 2) Lay down a foundation of low intensity ankle-dominant plyometrics (particularly for improving approach jump performance) and do not neglect direct calf training. 3) Utilize dynamic effort style squat and deadlift training with accommodating resistance and a low proximity to failure in order to enhance strength speed (especially at more extended knee and hip joint angles) while regularly practicing squat and deadlift technique. As someone who consistently performed powerlifting style training (squatted 445lb and sumo deadlifted 600lb with straps but did not compete in a meet) for 4 years and then focused on jump and dunk goals while maintaining strength for over 2.5 years, I learned the importance of #1 and #2 the hard way. Presently jump training has increased my approach vertical jump to 36” and broad jump to 9’8.5”, but tendinopathies were a challenging obstacle to overcome for about 2 years. Someone who has very high max strength has the potential to jump high and consequently land from a high height with little jump training. When starting jump training, progress can also occur fairly rapidly, allowing you to expose your tendons to a high magnitude of high velocity loading in excess of their load tolerances. With a gradual increase in jump training volume and intensity, patellar and Achilles tendons can effectively adapt over time, but an abrupt increase in high velocity loading may prompt tendinopathies to develop without initially producing pain. Tendinopathies are to jumpers as low back injuries are to powerlifters. What may begin as a mild nuisance that can be trained through can progress into a major hinderance that can affect impede optimal training for multiple macrocycles. The best jumper or powerlifter is the athlete who can consistently and effectively train for multiple years while remaining healthy, not the athlete who can increase performance most rapidly in the initial few months but then becomes injured from the excessively high training stressors.
I’m very much looking forward to my boy John Downing making his comeback soon in the 83s, and hitting comp PRs, after contributing so much to the sport as a whole while accomplishing other life goals.
1:20 Candito, there is a Spaniard RUclipsr, he is one of the best in the industr for spanish speakers and he did exactly this. He share his journey to the world "heaviest" pull up on RUclips . That happened a few years a go. If you would like to take a look at it, you can find him as powerexplosive. A collab between you two would be something amazing. I had been following you both from the beginning .
Bro!!! I remember the 2013 Jonnie. Back then was when I first found out about upper/lower. Crazy to see how different the physiques are. Nothing wrong with either. But back then you legit looked like the real Wolverine. (He wasn’t fucking 6’2 and lean he was shorter and jacked)
1:46 There’s a dude in my gym that has arms bigger than his legs and Im pretty sure he does at least 2 arm workouts a week maybe even 3. Ironicly he curls in the squat rack.
Sick idea with the weighted chin up! Really interested to see how you structure your training and if pulling exercises with a descending strength curve require any different programming approach…
Look into the StrongFirst TSC. One of the main movements is pullups and a lot of the people who compete for it within our system practice with a lot of weighted work. So yea, weighted pullup max has been a thing and approached in such a manner. We also have the Beast Tamer which is a pullup, pistol squat, and strict press all with 48kg for men, 32kg for ladies so there's a lot of programming out there specifically for that as well. Most of the training is done within the 70-75% range for a long period of time before a max attempt. Hope some of this info helps you find some nuggets out there to help your process!
I'm really looking forward to the channel! I too recently hit 29 and my goals have been very different from 5 years ago. I quit training then from life changes and I'm finally back in a place where I can train again. My goal this time around isn't purely numbers either, but my goal is to see how heavy I can get without a belt. I'm also doing more cardio and hypertrophy this time around. It's interesting how priorities change in different seasons of life. Been starting with your beginner power/hypertrophy linear program and I've been loving it. Thanks for what you do man!
I’m a big fan of weighed calisthenics. I personally prefer weighted pull-ups vs chins and dips are my favorite. Best so far is 140 pull-up and 160 dip. 4 plate dip is a big goal of mine. Then I’ll move on to 200+. Both achieved at 195-205lb bw.
I’ve also treated a few upper body pulls like weighted pull-ups as main pl movements for the last few years, and I’ve found programming to be confusing, so this new project will be helpful to learn from
I figured. I saw a post from you on instagram well over a year ago where you said "this is the first time doing direct upper back work in over a year." That was when I realized your change in physique was due to you getting extremly specific with your training and abandoning the "bodybuilding fluff". Kinda unfair because your "how I used to look" physique is my "I'm tryna get like you" physique and you could definitely get it back easily if you wanted. Fuck lol
@jon arthur Yes, you definitely lose that kind of muscle mass when you stop training those muscles for YEARS. This transformation didnt happen over night, it took years for him to lose that amount of muscle. Very possible if you stop training to look jacked. We are literally talking about a 9 year difference here. Anyone could shrink in that amount of time. Also, him being on steroids makes zero since when he has literally added 300 lbs to his total. You don't stop juicing and gain 300 lbs on your total while being natty, the fact is Jonnie wasn't on gear in the first place. He just looked really damn good and it's hard for you all to accept.
@jon arthur Cool, let's say this fantasy where you are a "lot bigger" than him is real. If you stopped doing any kind of bodybuilding work and ONLY focused on the big 3 for 9 YEARS, you'd 100% lose a fuck ton of muscle. Natural muscle takes times to go away but it's not gonna last you 9 years. Jonnie losing his aesthetic look during that time makes sense. He wasn't doing curls, shoulder presses, pullups, ect. Just squat, bench, and deadlifts mainly. Most natty lifters are going to lose muscle doing that
@jon arthur Yeah and I bet your physique is garbage because the average joe with average genetics will not look like a bodybuilder only doing the big 3, hence the change in Jonnie's physique. YOU don't understand the fact that "bodybuilding" accessories are necessary for most people to look jacked, and when they stop doing them guess what? They lose size, that's why Jonnie looks so different. He's only focused on the main lifts and not bodybuilding like he used to. Go look at his old videos, he used to do curls, shoulder presses, weighted chinups, etc. Those movements put mass on you and he stop doing them, so of course he'd shrink. Post your physique, you might be "bigger" than Jonnie but I'm willing to.bet your physique is similar because you don't do any bodybuilding/hypertrophy work. Most natural lifters have to because doing the big 3 isn't enough to be jack, you're not covering so many bases with just squat, bench, and deadlift unless you have premium genetics which I doubt.
@jon arthur overlord is tight. It’s well documented if you stop doing all the bodybuilding type stuff and focus on strength you’ll lose size. It’s exactly why people always give bodybuilders shit for being big but not as strong as they look vs functional strength that powerlifters get like Johnnie.
@jon arthur nah your the one being dumb af here not anyone else. If you reduce volume and intensity/frequency in arms and delts or whatever ofcourse your going to lose size. It’s pretty well documented. That’s why you get all the newbs who get into SS 5x5 who get stronger and a huge torso with twig arms that look like shit/ a block.
This was a good video. Appreciate it. Long time ago I would have said keep pushing your total and stop looking in the mirror. But things change. I think your making a good choice. Looking forward to your progress
Man!!! The last time I watched you WAS back during the dunking video era. You inspired me to train my jump and for some reason I didn’t sub and stopped watching much RUclips fitness. I’m in a similar place where I’ve let being almost 29 sort of dad bod me even though I still routinely hit the gym. Looking forward to seeing your progress, I’m motivated already. I’m subbed now!
Good to see you uploading frequently again Jonnie. I really believe if you focused on RUclips your channel would've been a million plus easy. Those year long breaks really hurts channel growth. I'm just glad you're finally back. This channel will explode.
wow, this really shows what specificity and genetical differences can make, I am literally a fucking twig, my overall lifting experience is a bit bigger but it was not consistent by any means, I have been lifting consistently for 1.5 years, I can bench 85 kg, squat 120 kg, deadlift 155 kg, and i weight 77 kg, at 188 cm tall (6 feet 2 inches i think), but my weighted chinup is a clean 35 kg, that just blew my fucking mind, the fact that specificity of training matters soo much, that I am literally stronger than you in a lift, it trully changed my perspective to see this.
Dude I'm doing this right now too! I started at about 185 and now I'm under 172! Like you I was displeased with my body comp after years of focusing on powerlifting. Now I'm slimming down and super happy with the results.
@@CeroAshura Depends. I weigh more at 190 so I’m pulling up more weight, but by weighing more it also means I have more muscle mass to use (in theory). Edit: in short it seems like the more lean body mass you have the more total weight you can pull up but I need to emphasize “lean”. If the extra weight is junk weight it will hinder not help.
I know he didn't really say it but weighted calisthenics has been slept on by a lot of strength athletes. I'm really glad that Candito is going to be treating the chin up like the strength movement that it is. If you look at any of the top-weighted calisthenics guys in Europe they are beyond jacked and specialize in weighted dips and pullups generally. The strength transfer for the deadlift and bench is there and I'm glad someone as popular as Candito is bringing this fact into the powerlifting community. Strength is strength. Thank you Jonnie
@CanditoTrainingHQ I've had the weighted pull-up and shoulder press as if they were the big three, so basically for me its 'the big 5', for quite some time now. It helps if you care about body appearance too. Happy to see you do this kind of movement!
Im 28 now, and Im doing the exact same as you lol. I want to get back in the best shape of my life which was around 7 years ago. Already one week in, feeling better than ever before

With a gradual increase in jump training volume and intensity, patellar and Achilles tendons can effectively adapt over time, but an abrupt increase in high velocity loading may prompt tendinopathies to develop without initially producing pain. Tendinopathies are to jumpers as low back injuries are to powerlifters. What may begin as a mild nuisance that can be trained through can progress into a major hinderance that can affect impede optimal training for multiple macrocycles. The best jumper or powerlifter is the athlete who can consistently and effectively train for multiple years while remaining healthy, not the athlete who can increase performance most rapidly in the initial few months but then becomes injured from the excessively high training stressors.
How did you treat your tendonopathies?
This is quality content J-Can. Would love to see your channel back in the mix again
I think alpha destiny has done similar stuff like this; would be dope if y’all talked and worked together to hit this goal
They kinda have before. Alex was the one who motivated Jonnie to test his 1rm on the overheadpress.
6:16 your dog is such a king lol. Best of luck with the new training goals, Jonnie!
I’m very much looking forward to my boy John Downing making his comeback soon in the 83s, and hitting comp PRs, after contributing so much to the sport as a whole while accomplishing other life goals.
Scary how much sense you were talking in the last four minutes alone, Jonnie. Pure, honest observation- rare to hear that these days.
Bruh 34.5 inch standing vert is probably like 95 percentile in the nba draft combine and you did it untrained too
The difference is he's about a foot shorter than the average NBA player lol
@@tjcogger1974 A foot shorter but with a squat like 4 times that of an NBA player.
@@jondoe2772 unfortunately a standing reach maybe 20 inches lower than an NBA player :^(

1:20 Candito, there is a Spaniard RUclipsr, he is one of the best in the industr for spanish speakers and he did exactly this. He share his journey to the world "heaviest" pull up on RUclips . That happened a few years a go. If you would like to take a look at it, you can find him as powerexplosive. A collab between you two would be something amazing. I had been following you both from the beginning .

Cuz you stopped taking creatine?
Shouldn't have stopped taking dat dere celltech
Jonnie rock a modern mullet
Bro!!! I remember the 2013 Jonnie. Back then was when I first found out about upper/lower. Crazy to see how different the physiques are. Nothing wrong with either.
But back then you legit looked like the real Wolverine.
(He wasn’t fucking 6’2 and lean he was shorter and jacked)
You teased vertical leap work yeeeears ago, I'm glad it's finally back on the table!
You're an easy dude to like.
Got some of that pre-workout.
You are my favorite person in this platform Jonnie, keep up with that awesome content!
The boys: Jonnie Candito (the burrito), Alpha Destiny and Alec Enkiri collaboration.
Basically the MCU crossover for the fitness industry
Love it man!! Been watching your channel for years now. Cool to see your goals changing
1:46 There’s a dude in my gym that has arms bigger than his legs and Im pretty sure he does at least 2 arm workouts a week maybe even 3. Ironicly he curls in the squat rack.
But does he curl 135? If he curls 135 then I think that’s ok for the squat rack. If it’s like the bar and two 10’s then he needs to leave.

Very good point about trade offs. Only veterans understand
Sick idea with the weighted chin up! Really interested to see how you structure your training and if pulling exercises with a descending strength curve require any different programming approach…
Look into the StrongFirst TSC. One of the main movements is pullups and a lot of the people who compete for it within our system practice with a lot of weighted work. So yea, weighted pullup max has been a thing and approached in such a manner. We also have the Beast Tamer which is a pullup, pistol squat, and strict press all with 48kg for men, 32kg for ladies so there's a lot of programming out there specifically for that as well. Most of the training is done within the 70-75% range for a long period of time before a max attempt. Hope some of this info helps you find some nuggets out there to help your process!
You should train for a street of lifting competition, I think you would really enjoy it!
I'm really looking forward to the channel! I too recently hit 29 and my goals have been very different from 5 years ago. I quit training then from life changes and I'm finally back in a place where I can train again. My goal this time around isn't purely numbers either, but my goal is to see how heavy I can get without a belt. I'm also doing more cardio and hypertrophy this time around. It's interesting how priorities change in different seasons of life. Been starting with your beginner power/hypertrophy linear program and I've been loving it. Thanks for what you do man!
"...I want to be 2 1/2 inches from touching the rim" -- Candito
you do motivate a ton of people, no doubt. thanks for all your great content 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
OG fans remember Beefcake Jonny. Glad to see a comeback.
I’m a big fan of weighed calisthenics. I personally prefer weighted pull-ups vs chins and dips are my favorite. Best so far is 140 pull-up and 160 dip. 4 plate dip is a big goal of mine. Then I’ll move on to 200+. Both achieved at 195-205lb bw.
That vert is insane, I’d love to see some dunk training content from you Jonnie
Incredible stuff man! Looking forward following your Journey!
Strong Dennis Reynolds vibes in the last five minutes
Man hasn't even began to peak

I’ve also treated a few upper body pulls like weighted pull-ups as main pl movements for the last few years, and I’ve found programming to be confusing, so this new project will be helpful to learn from
I've found that you got to count your bodyweight plus the plates, that way planificación goes perfect.
I figured. I saw a post from you on instagram well over a year ago where you said "this is the first time doing direct upper back work in over a year." That was when I realized your change in physique was due to you getting extremly specific with your training and abandoning the "bodybuilding fluff".
Kinda unfair because your "how I used to look" physique is my "I'm tryna get like you" physique and you could definitely get it back easily if you wanted. Fuck lol
@jon arthur Yes, you definitely lose that kind of muscle mass when you stop training those muscles for YEARS. This transformation didnt happen over night, it took years for him to lose that amount of muscle. Very possible if you stop training to look jacked. We are literally talking about a 9 year difference here. Anyone could shrink in that amount of time.
Also, him being on steroids makes zero since when he has literally added 300 lbs to his total. You don't stop juicing and gain 300 lbs on your total while being natty, the fact is Jonnie wasn't on gear in the first place. He just looked really damn good and it's hard for you all to accept.
@jon arthur Cool, let's say this fantasy where you are a "lot bigger" than him is real. If you stopped doing any kind of bodybuilding work and ONLY focused on the big 3 for 9 YEARS, you'd 100% lose a fuck ton of muscle. Natural muscle takes times to go away but it's not gonna last you 9 years.
Jonnie losing his aesthetic look during that time makes sense. He wasn't doing curls, shoulder presses, pullups, ect. Just squat, bench, and deadlifts mainly. Most natty lifters are going to lose muscle doing that
@jon arthur Yeah and I bet your physique is garbage because the average joe with average genetics will not look like a bodybuilder only doing the big 3, hence the change in Jonnie's physique.
YOU don't understand the fact that "bodybuilding" accessories are necessary for most people to look jacked, and when they stop doing them guess what? They lose size, that's why Jonnie looks so different. He's only focused on the main lifts and not bodybuilding like he used to. Go look at his old videos, he used to do curls, shoulder presses, weighted chinups, etc. Those movements put mass on you and he stop doing them, so of course he'd shrink.
Post your physique, you might be "bigger" than Jonnie but I'm willing to.bet your physique is similar because you don't do any bodybuilding/hypertrophy work. Most natural lifters have to because doing the big 3 isn't enough to be jack, you're not covering so many bases with just squat, bench, and deadlift unless you have premium genetics which I doubt.
@jon arthur overlord is tight. It’s well documented if you stop doing all the bodybuilding type stuff and focus on strength you’ll lose size. It’s exactly why people always give bodybuilders shit for being big but not as strong as they look vs functional strength that powerlifters get like Johnnie.
@jon arthur nah your the one being dumb af here not anyone else. If you reduce volume and intensity/frequency in arms and delts or whatever ofcourse your going to lose size. It’s pretty well documented. That’s why you get all the newbs who get into SS 5x5 who get stronger and a huge torso with twig arms that look like shit/ a block.
This was a good video. Appreciate it. Long time ago I would have said keep pushing your total and stop looking in the mirror. But things change. I think your making a good choice. Looking forward to your progress
Am 6ft2 and have a 18" vertical 😂 you should be able to clean alot if Mark rippetoe is correct
Het Johnny can powerclean 120 kg first try, 140 after a month and 150 in half a year.
He is everything RIP hates. A guy who refuses to GOMAD and YNDTP and is stronger than his own SS coaches.
Man!!! The last time I watched you WAS back during the dunking video era. You inspired me to train my jump and for some reason I didn’t sub and stopped watching much RUclips fitness. I’m in a similar place where I’ve let being almost 29 sort of dad bod me even though I still routinely hit the gym. Looking forward to seeing your progress, I’m motivated already. I’m subbed now!
Good to see you uploading frequently again Jonnie.
I really believe if you focused on RUclips your channel would've been a million plus easy. Those year long breaks really hurts channel growth. I'm just glad you're finally back. This channel will explode.
wow, this really shows what specificity and genetical differences can make, I am literally a fucking twig, my overall lifting experience is a bit bigger but it was not consistent by any means, I have been lifting consistently for 1.5 years, I can bench 85 kg, squat 120 kg, deadlift 155 kg, and i weight 77 kg, at 188 cm tall (6 feet 2 inches i think), but my weighted chinup is a clean 35 kg, that just blew my fucking mind, the fact that specificity of training matters soo much, that I am literally stronger than you in a lift, it trully changed my perspective to see this.
A higher pull up bar where you start from a fully extended dead hang would look a lot more legit.
As an old timer at 38yrs I'm also on a return to imagined form from the past. Like to see you're a human like the rest of us. Keep on!
Jonnie candito 6 week dunk program coming soon???
💪💪💪 I know you will achieve your goal, you are my inspiration and I decided to take lifting seriously after watching some of your videos some time ago

I’m a big fan of this training switch to athletic prioritizing and Johnny getting lean. Lets go!

Good point. He lived to be like 96 I think 🤔
I like training the chin up for my arm wrestling endeavors. Best I've got was 90lbs weighted pull up at 225lbs body weight. Road to 135lbs!
Jumping tho? Nah. I can't barely touch the rim at 6'2". Rip

Dude I'm doing this right now too! I started at about 185 and now I'm under 172! Like you I was displeased with my body comp after years of focusing on powerlifting. Now I'm slimming down and super happy with the results.
Hopped off the juice
Really impressive to see you be so bold and concrete with your goals
I did 100 lb pull up at 190 BW. Could it be that after 5 years there is Finally a lift I can do more on than Jonnie?!
I did that at 170, is it more or less impressive
@@CeroAshura Depends. I weigh more at 190 so I’m pulling up more weight, but by weighing more it also means I have more muscle mass to use (in theory).
Edit: in short it seems like the more lean body mass you have the more total weight you can pull up but I need to emphasize “lean”. If the extra weight is junk weight it will hinder not help.
I know he didn't really say it but weighted calisthenics has been slept on by a lot of strength athletes. I'm really glad that Candito is going to be treating the chin up like the strength movement that it is. If you look at any of the top-weighted calisthenics guys in Europe they are beyond jacked and specialize in weighted dips and pullups generally. The strength transfer for the deadlift and bench is there and I'm glad someone as popular as Candito is bringing this fact into the powerlifting community. Strength is strength. Thank you Jonnie
But v shred said that I should eat pizza and drink vodka
@CanditoTrainingHQ I've had the weighted pull-up and shoulder press as if they were the big three, so basically for me its 'the big 5', for quite some time now.
It helps if you care about body appearance too.
Happy to see you do this kind of movement!
Ngl Im pretty disappointed that you didn't own at least 2 Ar-15s already
Right? Like Johnnie throw it on a credit card and you can just have one rn...
dude im super excited to see you dunk. You give hope to me yo. Please do this.
I wanna see alec enkiri and bugenhagen join in
