Take note at how he is getting below parallel most of the time and has decent form even at 85lbs. Left his ego at the door and for that he saw great progress in the long run.
Ryan Croy it’s called adipowers
Ryan Croy you mean how he lifts with his back and has terrible form? Look closely. But then again you’re no gym expert. Dumb pleb.
Wang Chung bruh your name is literally penis
Wang Chung right. His form was okay below 100 lbs then it just got worse and worse he didn't spend enough time on a weight to keep up the good form.
Yeaaaaah not the best form I've ever seen. He hinges forward on almost every single lift coming out of the hole. Not good form.
That bro was coming in to save you at 2:13 what a gentleman lol
Need more heroes like him at the gym.
I almost fucked up a bench last year and even yelling no one could hear me lmfao
Nev T lmao
@@neilt1352 Oh believe me we all heard you
@@nateinsane4023 I'm deceased 😂😂😂
Nah he was just coming to ask how many more sets he had 😂😂
This is kinda inspiring rn, I remember when I couldn’t squat a barbell, and now I’m doing 375. This is a great video for people who get discouraged to watch.
@@spidermanlift4527 what’s wrong with your knee? 🥺
@x so you’re 12 years old and squat 235 yeah okay buddy
@Broly stomp's vegeta go cry in a corner now loser mhm
@Broly stomp's vegeta go cry in a corner now loser just casually add 100 pounds to your squat in a month
@YOU BETTA PICK UP THA SOAP MY NIGGA! stop the 🧢
Starting at absolute rock bottom here. Cant even squat the bar without losing balance. I'll try box squats tomorrow and see how soon I can progress.
you got this man
Well all start somewhere
you got it!
Progress update?
Austin fuck outta here with that shit bruh
Consistency > everything else. You figured that out quicker than I did! Strong progress, hope to catch you soon mate :)
Hamburginator same shit
Bru I can squat 365 I've been training for like 3 months but injured my knee
@@Coda_Shorts probably cause your ego lifting and lifting too heavy and your knees can’t keep up, which means u aren’t lifting properly
@@Dandrew-qc5io no my brother is a power lifter and he taught me good technique, it's just I was going ass to the grass but not doing any hip mobility or anything like that so I messed up the tendons in my hips which in return put too much pressure on my knees. Which Is ass cuz i play football and rugby so I cant run
@@Coda_Shorts damn that sucks but if ur physically hurt like ur muscles or tendons are hurt u shouldn’t work the areas that are hurt unless it’s barely hurt
You can literally see him become jacked all around while he progress! This video was legit inspiring! Good shit
This was very inspirational! It’s gonna sound crazy but the higher the squat get the more built your whole body looks! Keep up the good work brother!
Baki i have to assume he’s doing other exercises too...
@@anonymouse7095 I think he was speaking generally.
Here before 1m views
Anders Gjellan hell yes thanks back guy
Bro hopefully more than 1 million views hopefully 30 million views
Sameeee
for a sub 350 squat?
Max Strazny congrats on the progress also I am going to Bradley next year.
This deadass like me. Started at around 80 or 90 last year and just maxed out 335 at school.
Proud of you bro, keep it up!
3 months ago my max was 60 now it's 145.
Depressed Lakers Fan funny thing is, i started squating around 125 in september, now my i can squat like, 145
Squatting is fun af when u start hitting three plates haha
When I was young I started off at squatting 185 8 reps . Everyone states somewhere good luck nit boasting here in think player sports as a youngster help our leg strengh nitvto mention hours on ing hours on our bikes great video and continued progress 😅
I just started awaiting and my is 295 and I’m only 145
Here at 60k views before this thing blows up as it deservedly does! Way to go man just look how hard you worked for this I’m so happy for you! More progress left to go I’m sure, and this is only the beginning.
Absolutely thank you!
Impressive progress with good form.
I was about 7 months into the gym and managed to get my squat to 110kg.
Stopped due to meeting a gf who ended up ruining my life towards the end and I missed a whole year into the gym.
I’ve come back and now I’m at 100kg already a month back in and my form on every exercise is 10x better and I’m improving way quicker. Can’t wait till I hit my first 315, congrats on yours!
JoFro- I’ve learnt that. I’m 5lbs heavier than before and making gains I’ve never had before so I’m sticking to single for a while. Chest before breast 🖤
thinking with your dick sure cost you alot, thats time right there
Flymoolah man 27 sadly thinking with ur heart costs you more my dude
WOW! Great work! This gives me so much motivation. I'm naturally thin, just like you, and it's been a LONG time since I've squatted even close to 200 lbs, so I'll be gettin' after it.
yessssss
Recording the journey was dope. Keep up the consistency and never sell your soul 👍🏾🔥
I appreciate the dedication to doing the work, and also filming, editing and uploading it, that all these squat transformation videos do - but EVERY SINGLE ONE starts high bar and ends up going low bar. So thanks for keeping it real at the end there.
I started at 70 pound squat always had issues with my hips but after squatting for so long it stopped and 2 months in I just hit 225 which is pretty cool
Good job bro!
How did you stop the hips issue?? I always have pain after squatting 135lbs
@@Marcos-ee7nt it takes time and try doing the hip extension machine if you have it or any hip excercises
@@dennisilin4323 Yes, just started doing some 90-90 hip stretches before and after the workout and felt better but I worried it wont be enough
@@Marcos-ee7nt just make sure you do a proper stretch before it and and get under the bar and sit at the bottom position of the squat for 10 sec and do that a couple times before you start adding weight
Finally someone natural with plan I can follow keep up the work.
For no reason I got 2:50 mins in and thought this was David laid ...
Mr. B Fit thought I was just stupid lol but same
Same!
Lmao, glad I wasn't the only one 😂😂
The one at 2:35 he looks like him so much
Once one switches to low bar the weight jumps up and it feels amazing
And then you get too big/inflexible to do low bar and revert to high bar like moi :D remember to stretch your shoulders kids
@@jbibanezdude44 fr?
Not every day you see someone drop the ego and build with good form 💪🏽
In my opinion if you don’t have proper form and just do heavy weights you are a bitch
dude but he literally has his knees going in front of his toes which in time will fuck them up
@@phylax8 I was going to say the same thing. He isn’t hip hinging enough, his form is mediocre at best
@@phylax8 that rule is bro science, knees should go over toes
@@benmartin6644 Yeah in time, after starting to watch greg doucette, more plates more dates and vitruvian physique, i ve learned the many of the things that i knew were bro science
Bro- saw your deadlift video as well and gotta say you are a first class "grinder"- persistant,consistent and always moving forward-realising there are no short cuts.Well done mate,embrace the grind and take care of the body👌👍👍👍
Thank you sir
absolutely amazing man. keep doing what you’re doing and never stop these quality posts. #Motivating #MaxIsStrong
Props to the guy at 2:16. We need more of these people looking out for each other!
Yup, nice of him
Great job man. That a way of sticking with it. Something to be proud of.
What I love is that your as your strength goes up you can see a huge improvement in efficiency and technique, getting your elbows lower and using your lats to brace more, and much more control coming into the hole. This is awesome man and I can tell you from experience it’s great you have documented your progress so well, it’s one thing I wish I had done.
I’ve just recently hit a couple of big goals of a 500lb low bar squat, 405 for a 5x5 and 405 for a set of 10+ is coming very soon, and I wish I had video of my progression to look back on. Watching other lifters is great motivation but there’s nothing quite like seeing where you have come from and what you have accomplished through your own hard work to keep your spirits up through injury and when things aren’t going well.
Keep up the good work man!
Moss O'Connor thank you man!
Awesome progress, you definitely learned quick and effectively.
I like how the one guy saw you struggling so he walked up behind you ready to catch you up but then you pulled through so he peaced.
the power of gymship.
Fucking inspired. I use skipped leg day for a solid 2 years. Start of 2019 a close friend scolded me, saying how I only prevented myself. For 3 months I only did legs. I fell in love. I'm at 175 5*5 and got a tad discouraged. This video got me pumped to go back in. Thank you.
Man that 347 squat was like a good second attempt at most. You could probably squat 360lb!
Yes I for sure agree
Well, finally a good watch in my recommended! Keep it up my guy, absolutely killing it🤙🏼
Thanks bro
My coach actually made me restart squatting my sophomore year using the bar so my form would get better and I did a lot of the stuff you did just consistently getting heavier. Finally up to 405 lbs my junior year, one more to go hopefully I can get 500 before I graduate. Keep up the work bro 💪🏼
If your smart and keep putting in the work, I’m sure you’ll get it man.
damn max this one went crazy viral, used to you getting under 10k views then i see this. Madness
Great content as always Max! You’re a monster, I hope to make strength progress like you!
thank you and good luck man
ooh Max posted another transformation video, here before 82734M views. Good job bro, sick vid as always
let's make it 1B ;)
Nice to see someone working hard and eating well to get stronger. Most "transformations" consist of a guy barely lifting and then a year later lifting 4 times their weight with "magically" exploded traps and shoulders. Good shit brother! Keep up the grind.
Impressive and hard dedication to reach this!
Gentlemen, I am glad to inform, that over a year since starting my workout and weight loss journey (50lbs lost from September 2021 to December 2022, and still going), that I finally squatted 250lbs for ten reps.
Thats actually incredible
Congrats man, takes dedication for sure. I'm stuck at 275 :(
Do your reps below parallel
Its stupid how ur getting this many views but so little subs, you really deserve more
Thanks bro, they’ll come sooner than later
That's what we've been waiting for, just great 🔥
Thanks mate
I am going through the same kind of transformation, on April 16th 2019, I did a 85 lb squat for 5 sets of 5 reps, then a few hours ago, on May 25th 2019, I did a 150 lb squat for 5 sets of 5 reps. I plan to reach 225 lbs for 5 reps in late july and 315 lbs for 5 reps in less than a year, then I will try to get to 400 pounds. I am also training the bench press, the deadlift, the barbell bent over row and the standing overhead press, they are all progressing really quickly and very well, I gained 9 pounds since I started in April (most of it was muscle memory).
How are your lifts doing now? Did you hit 315?
First video I watched ! Great stuff I need to work on my squat again lol
Man. You killed it. Amazing job. So proud of you.
How often would you add weight? And every time you’d add weight would there be a certain set and rep range you’d aim for?
Liv - add 5 pounds total(2.5 each side) every workout. 3 sets 5 reps, 2-3 times a week
Niarm thank you
YOOO I kept my Ed Willkie socks to this day, nice to see you achieve great things
Ed Willkie socks? I’m confused lol
I just hit the two plate mark and this is just wanted I needed to keep pushing!
First off excellent progress. I thought i would see better leg development overall but just goes to show that your genetic potential is high. 5 plate squat goal brother. Congrats on achievements so far and hope you keep going
If you saw any more leg development, everyone would crying and screaming "steroids".
Shows that you don’t have to be strong in the first place when I first started to bench I was made fun of because all I could do was the bar(45lbs) but I grinded in my strength training class and after school and in just a couple of months I tripled my strength I know it’s not a lot but it’s decent for a couple of months and I will continue to get stronger when with a broken ankle I have right now. The main point is don’t let anyone tell you are weak and let the hate me motivation to push you’re self.
You make that drop look so easy ! Good shit dawg
Good work just don’t curve your back when you come up that’s a good way to mess it up the bar path should be straight it will be good when you get into higher weight
Crazy ass transformation I been stuck on 275 for the longest now
How many days a week did you train? And what was your session volume? What type of progression scheme? Accessory work?
Could you explain a little about the process?
Jus advice cuz something I learned was to tuck in ur elbows more and bring them closer to your chest. This is so the weight is being held under you instead of behind or in front. This helps prevent leaning forward and helps keep a straight back and your chest up. Good work tho keep it up
Yup that’s what I started to do prior to the meet
I got a pretty weak squat, so this video made me wanna keep pushing harder.
Glop 697 how much do you squat? 3 rep max?
I can only do 135 for 1
@Baki oh Jesus umm, that was a long time ago. I can go 161kg I used to do 170, but that’s because I now do atg high bar. (I had to switch over to kg because the only plates I could buy were in kgs.) I’m honestly pretty happy with my stats now. I’m 16 weighing 82kg squatting 161, deadlifting 189, and I completely dropped doing upper body. (I just started a new program with O.H.P so, I’m gonna have to start training it this macro cycle)
@Baki it’s boring, you lift less weight. I was gonna say it’s because I don’t have a bench at my home gym, but I wasn’t doing it even before Covid so….
solid gainz
WISCONSIN BABY (peep the socks)
You’re actually insane. Love your channel and instagram account! Can’t wait till you blow up fr and i can say I followed you when you had like 500 followers
Here with you at 7.2K subs looking forward to 1 million. Stay humble Mr. Strazny
Already here before this video blows up. Great job man! 🔥
Mj Aliazas yesss thank you!
Perfect gains bro , ur channel is still my favorite on RUclips Haha, much luv bro
thanks mate
Bro
A legit progression video on RUclips? I'm amazed. Keep it up, strong brother
Emil Storgaard thanks mate
I remember watching this video as motivation when I first started, now I'm about to hit 405 less than 2 years later. Thankyou
What was your 1rm when you first started?
Idk man straighten your back
Form before strength but I like the dedication
levi rishel his back is pretty straight, i.e. it’s at almost the same angle as his shins throughout. My concern is the slight hitch he develops towards the middle of the video on the way up. His back initiates some of the movement getting out of the hole on the way up. It’s very common and it’s hard not to do. If he concentrates on stabilizing his core, keeping his back immobile thus removing that hitch, he will see even better results.
As you said, he’s got some great dedication and work ethic to achieve these results. Legs require the ultimate motivation to almost everyone. He’s worked them consistently for a while now.
Great vid as always bro
thanks mate
I still remember the first time I hit 315 on the squat rack. Awesome feeling. Good job
Thanks man
Great job man, I had a similar transformation. I want to start using squat shoes and knee sleeves tho. Anybody got any recommendations?
I personally use nike metcon 4's with squat insoles. Not the best but gets the job done.
Skinny dude here working on getting fit. I’m just a couple months in, thanks for the inspiration!
Good luck bro!
Amazing squat progression. We’re did you get your powerlifting program from??
You can do this with stronglifts 5x5, its the program I am currently using, I added 50 pounds to my squat in a month, he is progressing quickly because he is going from beginner to intermediate, at 347 he is close to 400 which would be considered advanced level, it depends on your weight though. After you reach the intermediate level, switch to madcow's 5x5 and then once you are advanced you can do what you want and make your own program to work the lifts that you want.
Good job bro, I'm on a weight loss journey myself. I was at 361.6 lbs, now I'm at 270, was at 266 but my cheat meal was Saturday and yesterday went to six flags so I had amusement park food lol. I love working out soothed the soul. Great job man, inspiration for real
Keep going king 👑
How much volume did you work to get your squat up? 4x6? As you’re highest volume? Or did you do 4x12s and just showed your strength here? Also what else did you do for legs like accessories
5x5 is always a good choice for focusing on strength yet also building muscle at the same time.
Did only 5x5 up until the 275 lowbar and then I switched to a push pull legs program. I had a q and a a few months ago in which I talked about the programs I ran. And I didn’t really do much more leg accessories
Max Strazny so what was your leg day like? Just a 5x5 squatting then what 5x5 deadlifts?
@@ismael18601 it's more common to run a 1x5, 3x5, 3x3, or a 5x3 for deads if you're also doing them with squats. You can get more out of your legs that way without overly fatiguing. A 5x5 for deads is still fine to Do, but with proper warm up sets it can be a bit overkill on a squat day for most people.
Max Strazny how many times a week did you train legs?
This guy is one of my best customers. He understands that even with steroids you gotta put in the work.
This was done naturally but thanks anyway
Max Strazny Ha, just screwing around with ya. You did it right and well over the course of months. Good shit, sir.
I like your dedication :3
thank you :)
When I first started my squat was 95. Then 155 month later. Then 125 80x. Then recently just hit a new PR of 185 on front rack. It's awesome to see your improvement
Thanks man!
Was up💤💤💤 late to watch the video !!! Ayee #maxsquad
hell yes thanks brother
Good shit my man! Keep pushing for that 405lbs. Earned a sub from me.
This stuff motivates me a lot✔💪
Your videos keeping popping up. I gotta say, its very inspirational. I love to see this stuff!
We need a video explaining how you did that bro
lol. bruh.. It took 20 months. Being constant. There isnt a secret or anything. Just put in the work.
Lift weights, keep lifting weights, lift heavier weights..
Thumbs up for using the safety pins while training and building up. That shows you have a much higher IQ than most weight lifters.
Lmao
Did you change your form or stance during this? Oh btw I like how you used the same song as Lexx at 1:55
Felix Spoor widened my foot position a little bit and yes it’s a solid ass song
2:13 big respect to that bro
Here before it becomes a more viewed video than David laid's
Good job bro
Great work man! That depth is killer too
ur quads are so big it looks like ur shins r about to snap from the weight
Been squatting again ever since a knee injury 2 months ago, i went from barely doing 115 for 2 to repping 135 and now maxing out on 155 decently easily. This is my inspiration now lol.
Motivated me for real 🔥
3 years late but hopefully your shoulders and scapular are good today. Depending on how you progressed overtime, low bar squats can create recurring long term shoulder, coupled with higher potential for elbow tendonitis. Long term, high bar will give you better results and longevity
First
You will not first I was first
battle to the death!!! ;)
Strong as hell man !! Great Motivational Vid 🔥🔥 Future Worlds Champ
Just here to say #nattyverified just kidding I just stumbled upon you here forever waiting to see more keep doing your thing💪
Female here. Just started using the squat rack and I’m at 75 lbs so far. First only trained with a 40lb barbell but finally started on the squat rack!
Yooo
One thing I gotta say is you keep letting your chest fall. You never let your chest tall, which will lead to injury. Make sure your elbows are not facing out behind your back, try to keep them in and facing forward.
Ur lifting with ur back mate
No hes not
Beautiful back Bar placement, great form my guy!
Thanks man
first comment crazy transformation bro
thank you good sir
@@MaxStrazny well hopefully this video will gets many million views
Crazy to see the overall size you put on since the 85x10 footage
Thanks man
Are sbd sleeves worth it?
they are a very reliable brand for knee sleeves but I'm sure there's other options out there, like mark bells brand or others
@@MaxStrazny are knee sleeves worth in general?
@@qwert9488 thats what I was wondering
Absolutely, they don’t assist you to lift more because of the wrap but by warming up your knees and keep the blood in that area so you can workout more fluidly. I had blue knee sleeves that I think were called Raybands. It was never the same when you squatted without em. You know how you get cold if you wait in between sets too long? It helped with that so you could go ham each set with long breaks. Just my opinion though
@@memeteam6236 Yea I sometimes feel that especially my knees get cold when im wearing shorts during squats
One of the best natural bodybuilder
Mani Matter this is powerlifting
Alexis Misselyn Same same
No hate because some awesome progress, but work on keeping that chest up!
