Strength can be deceiving. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. This guy looks like the typical American you’d see wandering the halls of Wal-Mart and filling up his cart when Bagel Bites are on sale, but underneath that layer of fat is pure muscle, baby! Take the average guy in decent shape at the gym who looks to be in better condition than this guy, and let’s see how many of them can squat nearly 700 pounds.
If you judged this guy from this gut alone, you’d probabally never guess he could squat so much, but that’s the deceiving thing about some powerlifters and strongman type guys. They aren’t huge and cut. This is the kind of stomach that’s seen some shit. It’s not a typical flabby gut, it’s hardened from years of going hard. This is the type of gut that keeps its mouth shut if it ever gets interrogated, this gut doesn’t talk to feds, this gut doesn’t rat on its friends, this gut can keep a secret. This guy’s stomach is no joke, and neither is his squat.
Look, hisĀ form may leave a little bit to be desired, but what makes this video so crazy is how unexpected it is:
Would he be able to pop back up if he went all the way down? Gravity might not allow it, but for now – he’s doing his thing. Which seems to be moving huge weights and not stepping anywhere near a cardio machine. More power to him!
Every gym seems to have at least one guy who is sneaky strong and who can put up a deceptive amount of weight. Crossfit gyms, on the other hand, are filled with people who are putting up deceptive amounts of weight because their plates are made out of marshmellows.
