The Sport of Weightlifting

Battle of the Squats

I found this video floating around /r/weightroom. Basically, it’s a max bodyweight back squats in 5 minutes challenge among four competitors: a Weightlifter, a Powerlifter, a Strongman, and a Bodybuilder.

I’d love to see more of these kind of videos, comparing various strength sport athletes.

Basic bio for the participants:
