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 🧢
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
@@FoxTrotSUBSCRIBE_PLZ 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
@@FoxTrotSUBSCRIBE_PLZ 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
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
You can literally see him become jacked all around while he progress! This video was legit inspiring! Good shit
Awesome progress, you definitely learned quick and effectively.
absolutely amazing man. keep doing what you’re doing and never stop these quality posts. #Motivating #MaxIsStrong
Great job man. That a way of sticking with it. Something to be proud of.

Anders Gjellan hell yes thanks back guy

Max Strazny congrats on the progress also I am going to Bradley next year.
Recording the journey was dope. Keep up the consistency and never sell your soul 👍🏾🔥
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.
Finally someone natural with plan I can follow keep up the work.
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
Man. You killed it. Amazing job. So proud of you.
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 and hard dedication to reach this!
First video I watched ! Great stuff I need to work on my squat again lol
Strong as hell man !! Great Motivational Vid 🔥🔥 Future Worlds Champ
Amazing video bro. Keep up the great work. This was very inspirational.
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
That's what we've been waiting for, just great 🔥
Thanks mate
Your videos keeping popping up. I gotta say, its very inspirational. I love to see this stuff!
Great work man! That depth is killer too
Well, finally a good watch in my recommended! Keep it up my guy, absolutely killing it🤙🏼
Thanks bro
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
I’m so happy for you man, that’s awesome. Very motivational
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.
damn max this one went crazy viral, used to you getting under 10k views then i see this. Madness
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
Congrats! The hard work paid off.
Damn this is crazy inspirational bro! Good job!
Great vid as always bro
thanks mate
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
You make that drop look so easy ! Good shit dawg
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
ooh Max posted another transformation video, here before 82734M views. Good job bro, sick vid as always
let's make it 1B ;)
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?
MY MAN IS KILLING IT
Awesome stuff dude. Congrats and bravo on the hard work.
Perfect gains bro , ur channel is still my favorite on CZcams Haha, much luv bro
thanks mate
Bro
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
Reason i subscribed right now. Good shit Lil Bro 💪🏼
Just started squatting myself. Very inspirational. Keep it up!!
Here with you at 7.2K subs looking forward to 1 million. Stay humble Mr. Strazny
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.
Great inspiration!! Well done man!!
Already here before this video blows up. Great job man! 🔥
Mj Aliazas yesss thank you!
Was up💤💤💤 late to watch the video !!! Ayee #maxsquad
hell yes thanks brother
This stuff motivates me a lot✔💪
Great content as always Max! You’re a monster, I hope to make strength progress like you!
thank you and good luck man
Fantastic job you're doing some great things hope all is well
I just hit the two plate mark and this is just wanted I needed to keep pushing!
I like your dedication :3
thank you :)
Hats off to you man. Really motivational
Excellent work dude
Congrats man, takes dedication for sure. I'm stuck at 275 :(
Do your reps below parallel
WISCONSIN BABY (peep the socks)
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
Great work my man!
Motivated me for real 🔥
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.
So impressive you really motivated me to hit my goals
glad I could help!
Great job. Keep working on your self.
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
Here before it becomes a more viewed video than David laid's
Good job bro
Motivation for me indeed
Thank you
I’ve been waiting for this lets goooo
hell yes brother
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?
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?
Good shit my man! Keep pushing for that 405lbs. Earned a sub from me.
Hard work pays off. Good job dawg. Careful with your back. No need to go any heavier.
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….
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.
Keep up the awesome work!
Good job bro. Very inspirational 👍
Just here to say #nattyverified just kidding I just stumbled upon you here forever waiting to see more keep doing your thing💪
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.
Way to go bro!!!!!! Keep it up! The natural way!
Nice transformation bro! Keep it up 🤞🏼
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?
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
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 dude!
ur quads are so big it looks like ur shins r about to snap from the weight
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
This was so inspiring!
Respect man keep it up
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..
Yooo
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.
A lot of hard work , dedication, determination, disclipline and desire.
first comment crazy transformation bro
thank you good sir
@@MaxStrazny well hopefully this video will gets many million views
First
You will not first I was first
battle to the death!!! ;)
Great video. Keep it up 💪💪
Beautiful back Bar placement, great form my guy!
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
No hate because some awesome progress, but work on keeping that chest up!
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.
