such a nice change of pace playing classical music on a powerlifting video. usually its just shitty new heavy metal n shit. moonlight sonata is awesome.
+booby b I listen to classical while I lift. I can lift more when my mind is still and calm that I can listening to hard rock throwing my nervous system all out of wack. I agree though, good music.
Never listened to classical music during work outs. Before heavy sets, I through some heavy zep or sabbath. I might try a calmer approach sometime but I feel like when you get hyped up the weight just feels lighter and adrenaline is going.
I love how people think that powerlifting doesn't get u big. It is actually way more beneficial to train powerlifting style if you are natural and trying to gain mass. "Bodybuilding style training" only works best when you are enhanced.
This is partially true. Yes, training for power and strength is beneficial for mass and thickness gains naturally. However, incorporating hypertrophy style training at the middle to end of your workout is beneficial for naturals too to get more definition and cuts. Also it helps with the top layer fibers of muscle to grow, but strength is all the muscle fibers on the base connected to the bone, which is the thickness and mass.
I love watching this beautiful worrior monk, doing his thing alone in deep concentration, he's a true introvert, Even in meet's he's alone, with his struggle.
how come he doesn't try the conventional deadlift? his legs aren't that long. pretty short actually so he should be able to do just fine with conventional. i'm not saying one if better than the other i'm just curious as to how much he would be able to do if he just switch his style all of the sudden
He pulled conventional for years, up to like a mid-600 pull and he now pull in the mid-700 range conventional. Trust me at this point of the game he has tried both and knows what works for him.
he just pulled 900lbs conventional WITHOUT a belt in the cage lol powerlifters who compete in sumo, will train conventional (conventional compliments the mechanics of the erectors a lot more as well as keeping general lower/mid back strength) they train both, but usually compete in one
+TheNagcg333 it is called "sink" bench. It is allowed in some federation but not IPF. Using this, you get some "rebound" in the bottom that helps lifting the bar up
MadeInCanada010 It's cool, dude. I know I came off as a douche but I actually see Dan Green as one of my many fitness motivations for powerlifting. He actually lives not too far from me and I'm pretty jealous that my powerlifting friends get to work out with him in a daily basis at Boss Barbell.
He squatted more than he could deadlift in this video because it was a meet that allowed knee wraps. Knee wraps allow lifters to be able to squat more than they can deadlift, if it was a traditionally raw meet (meaning knee sleeves, belt, and wrist wraps only) then Dan wouldn't have been able to squat more than his deadlift.
how are you gonna say this is raw, he has much gear as possible on, not to take away from the weight he's doing, considering i couldn't do half this weight with gear let alone without it
@@MaxBadstibner knee raps, belt, powerlifting shoes. Yes, powerlifting shoes are fundamental but it still isn't raw, it discredits real raw lifts that literally contains nothing but a shirt and a pair of shorts.
@@coladud7061 Nah it doesn’t discredit any lifter because every major powerlifting federation considers all of the equipment that you listed as raw. The only exception would be that knee wraps would be considered “raw with wraps.” Sorry but your personal definition of what raw means contradicts the status quo that is accepted by legitimate powerlifting bodies.
@@MaxBadstibner I agree with you, but I still do see that there is an argument to that it does discredit "True" raw lifters. I madly respect this guy, but I would still not, by my own measures as you said, call it raw.
@@coladud7061 I agree that there is a sort of purity to not relying on any equipment at all. It’s like with the rainbow arched benches where the range of motion is incredibly small. I get that it is within the rules of the sport, but as a lifter it doesn’t sit well and feels cheap to me.
***** In my gym,the definition of raw deadlifting is to grab a weight waist naked with no straps or a deadlift belt.Some people even do it barefoot.I don't even see the point of even deadlifitng with all those things.They take away work from your body.
+Vassilev SV mate, lookup the definitions in the powerlifting federations you fucking idiot - this is a professional powerlifter and you're trying to tell him he's doing it wrong? fuck me over and bend my ass
how did he get the 522 bench passed? let it sink into his gut, leg and hip drive to get it started, it stopped half way up, uneven extension, and it hit the bench upright. how was that not red lighted? powerlifting today isn't truly powerlifting, it's developed into something else, and i'm not sure what to call it. today's lifters would be called for so many infractions, compared to the lifters of the 70/80/90's...that was truly power lifting, you actually had to follow the rules, and the judges weren't afraid of hitting the red light, letting you slide because of your so-called reputation.
Don't get the wrong idea. Dan Green is one of my favorite powerlifters. I just don't want kids who want to go into powerlifting to think that this is naturally achievable.
This legitimately made me shed a tear. Powerlifting truly is an art, like a dance, fueled by immense dedication and determination
Wenh
@Matthew Anthony the weather is bodybuilt today.
RAW is the one and only way to go ! .. In my opinion
The music made me dim the lights and light a cheap cigar. Bravo sir.

It makes me calmer and helps me treat the weight lighter. I rarely listen to music while I workout though, but when I do it's classical.
the music makes it so graceful. not bad
Because, somewhere out there, someone is benching your deadlift...
he is benching way more than my deadlift.... Something to aim for
i think this guy curls my deadlift...one arm...
Denuris Turgryn Um I really wish i could bench his deadlift. I'd be the strongest motherfuckker in my gym if I did that
Frank G perhaps in the world too?
+Mark Acevedo for warmup

I agree, but I feel this comment is misplaced. This is a video of Dan Green, a powerlifter who is enhanced.
This is partially true. Yes, training for power and strength is beneficial for mass and thickness gains naturally. However, incorporating hypertrophy style training at the middle to end of your workout is beneficial for naturals too to get more definition and cuts. Also it helps with the top layer fibers of muscle to grow, but strength is all the muscle fibers on the base connected to the bone, which is the thickness and mass.
SuperHmyaBros defenition and cuts comes with lower bodyfat not your training.
Dan had a background in bodybuilding prior to powerlifting.
powerbuilding man i love it
600lb straight leg deadlifts off a 3 inch deficit...for reps...lawd jesus
Beast man!! Most I ever front squatted was 315 I need to get back at it again
This is a real power lifter, no gear, no wraps, just roids and will power
My body is sore just watching this.
is he wearing air force 1's???
I love watching this beautiful worrior monk, doing his thing alone in deep concentration, he's a true introvert, Even in meet's he's alone, with his struggle.
Awesome video brother! Like
that bench was all legs. But still what a feat, now i'm gonna use that for my maxes
Awesome vid.

He does pull conventional. Just not in competition. th-cam.com/video/G5oCZ5XmfXE/w-d-xo.html
He pulled conventional for years, up to like a mid-600 pull and he now pull in the mid-700 range conventional. Trust me at this point of the game he has tried both and knows what works for him.
Short legs relative to torso is bad for conventional deadlifting.
i have short legs too and i cant pull conventional to save my life.at least i cant if i expect to keep a healthy back.
he just pulled 900lbs conventional WITHOUT a belt in the cage lol powerlifters who compete in sumo, will train conventional (conventional compliments the mechanics of the erectors a lot more as well as keeping general lower/mid back strength) they train both, but usually compete in one
Why does he start with his hips so high? isnt he pulling so much with his lower back?
they allow the bar to sink into your chest when benching in powerlifting meets?
It's allowed to sink as much as you want but can not sink any more once the press command has been given, that is the rule.
In some federations* others such as nasa(I believe) sinking is not allowed
Why is he bouncing the bar off his stomach when benching? Does that not hurt?
+TheNagcg333 it's called leg drive , pretty useful. it hurts a little bit but not a problem for these guys.
Ege Çağan Oh right, thank you
+TheNagcg333 it is called "sink" bench. It is allowed in some federation but not IPF. Using this, you get some "rebound" in the bottom that helps lifting the bar up
Not trolling...but I though the Bench had to have a pause..as in bar stoppage. If not letting it sink to reversal would be huge diff.
POWER.
Moonlight sonata is the name of the song
this guy is incredible!
Yeah. For the bench.
Misutā Zéi Bēḍhaṅgā World record holder for raw total in 220 and 242 weight classes. Yeah only incredible in bench right..
MadeInCanada010 I was replying to a guy who was asking if he was wearing Air Jordans, then I replied, "Yeah. For the bench."
Misutā Zéi Bēḍhaṅgā my apologies
MadeInCanada010 It's cool, dude. I know I came off as a douche but I actually see Dan Green as one of my many fitness motivations for powerlifting. He actually lives not too far from me and I'm pretty jealous that my powerlifting friends get to work out with him in a daily basis at Boss Barbell.
Samson reincarnated
what song is this, i know it, but i cant remember the name.
Description
+Jan van Duijn Moonlight Sonata, Beethoven
Squats more than he can deadlift! How mads that??

Knee wraps allow lifters to be able to squat more than they can deadlift, if it was a traditionally raw meet (meaning knee sleeves, belt, and wrist wraps only) then Dan wouldn't have been able to squat more than his deadlift.
Well not always can you squat more than deadlift, I'm good at squats but my deadlift is ever so slightly more
Raw 'Powerlifting' ... starts video with front squat ... LOGIC haha great video !
insane numbers!!! is this guy natural?
nope but his work ethic is unmatched
how are you gonna say this is raw, he has much gear as possible on,
not to take away from the weight he's doing, considering i couldn't do half this weight with gear let alone without it
Glenn Donia What "gear" are you referring to exactly?

Because someone out there is stiff legging your bench
That's pretty easy
In most of the scenes he is wearing both hand straps and a deadlift belt,thats not raw deadlifitng
Lol

+Vassilev SV mate, lookup the definitions in the powerlifting federations you fucking idiot - this is a professional powerlifter and you're trying to tell him he's doing it wrong? fuck me over and bend my ass
if this is raw, i am training naked

Raw kann jeder

JONES534 shut the fuck up
maybe judges now arent quite as nuts about what they consider an infraction.
It also depends on the federations that's hosting the event. WPC is much more strict compared to a regular APF/AAPF meet.
pulls sump thoufh.... don't count ;)
Why don't you try pulling 600 lbs off a 3 inch deficit for reps?
Get your feet shoulder width apart...screw that sumo style crap
still dont understand what raw means lol
Might be Raw...but definitely not natty lol
thanks man
And this is what you had to say on this video. Maybe in a few years you'll understand. I hope so for you little man.
Don't get the wrong idea. Dan Green is one of my favorite powerlifters. I just don't want kids who want to go into powerlifting to think that this is naturally achievable.
Cody nah man he just eats all his fuckin wheaties. And your wheaties. And my wheaties. He eats the entire planets share of wheaties everyday.
roids, roids roids. Do it clean or it don't mean shit.
bad song
+tolzog How is one of the best pieces of music ever created bad?
song is one of the greatest ever. But it does not suit a lifting video lol
