The video where the men ranked each other by penis size was also "wholesome" in that they didn't put each other down. In fact Cody kept roasting the black dude (Asher) because he kept trying to rank himself lower than the rest. The video where the frat dudes ranked themselves by IQ was also "wholesome" in that they were all hyping each other's majors and careers. Cody even ended that video by saying it restored his faith in the next generation. For the most part, whenever you get a homogenous group of men or women together, they tend to display fewer "toxic" traits towards each other than when they are mixed together (except for the video where the women ranked each other by beauty... that one was brutal). In any case, I don't think we've seen a video on this channel where a whole group of men acted "prideful" towards each other. Not sure where that idea is coming from.
@@nathangaspacio6128 Agreed, generally every person that works out consistently knows that their diet and routine is on them and nobody else. You can't pretend you're the strongest in weightlifting, the numbers don't lie, so when you see somebody with huge quads or somebody lifts a huge weight with good form, you know they put in the work and sacrifice. Knowing somebody has a similar shared experience and struggle is motivating and it's also easy to respect. All of this also makes me feel like one of the biggest tells that somebody is using T is because it's usually those same people that tend to show off more and don't respect the other people in the gym around them.
@djentlover I could put a camera in my face and watch Cut and Jubilee all day, but I'm nowhere close to being as funny or witty as Cody is. That's like saying, "The fastest way to get down a mountain is just to be a really talented skier." It's like, duh, lol.

I’m dreading the day Cody cuts us off after spoiling us this much because we all know he won’t have a lot time for us once the baby arrives… Which I 100% support in every way but I know it’s gonna be tough cause we’re used to seeing him so often now that we’re gonna end up missing him twice as much.
Damn I love lifters. When I started going to the gym I was 18 and SO weak, and I was so intimidated by the other guys there. When they saw me having trouble with the weights, 2 guys ran over, and I thought they were going to yell at me for not knowing what I was doing, but instead they started helping me out, showing me proper form, giving me tips on coming up with a routine, etc. They were hyping me up hard even though I could only lift a fraction of what they could. Super supportive and motivating. :)
100??? i doubt it. when you move up weight you move gradually up. a 10, 15 pound difference can feel so much different & harder to some people. hell, a 5 pound difference can be a make or break for a lift for some people
Someone else definitely commented this already, but I gotta say it because third guy is insane. The form of deadlift he did is conventional. It’s significantly more difficult and takes a lot more skill to keep that form than the wider sumo stance. It’s wayyy easier to move heavy weight with a sumo stance, and also a lot safer for new lifters who don’t know much about form
Sorry but the fact you said you can move more weight in sumo is just not true. Just to highlight, the world deadlift record was using a conventional technique and it just depends on the personal preferences and body structure
@@addy1154 I disagree based on my personal experience, but get where you are coming from based on that world record! For me personally, I’ve been lifting 3 years and have steadily maintained a higher sumo pr. Though that can totally be due to my build, most people I know who lift do prefer sumo and lift heavier sumo. I feel it gives a sturdier base and less stress on your back/smaller risk for back injury. I think conventional takes significantly more skill and overall strength to lift, but it seems google, and you disagrees with me so to each their own lol! I still think third guy was a monster lmao
@@addy1154 For the average lifter, people can lift more in sumo. I know body structure has an impact but you rarely ever see large conventional deadlifts outside of competetions and theres a reason for that.
@@maria_monty There's a reason why powerlifting federations globally all allow sumo and conventional in a single category. It is not only dependent on body structure, but studies have shown that even the muscle activation is basically the same. So many bro science morons who have read too much on body building forums saying this kind of shit in the comments. Deadlifting is very technical overall (with bench press being arguably more technical), and there are lifters who can stack out most of their total with just deadlift. So technique is huge regardless of conventional or sumo. Anyone who has actually attended a powerlifting meet and is experienced at all knows there's no competitive difference other than personal preference
YES exactly what I commented after initially saying his looks might be deceiving at the start of the video. His form was great, controlled on the way down. Didn't drop it. He did twice the workout in one rep and he did more than one. The other two weren't stronger by my judgment.
@@raeechilletting the weight down slowly isn’t something that’s difficult to do. anyone in the world can let the weight down slowly with their pr but they don’t bc of hype. he definitely couldn’t have done anything more than 400lbs, if I had to guess, I would say he could do maybe 360-370. if you’re a lifter idk how u think he could do more than isaac when isaacs 525 looked better than angels 345
@@euff828 the numbers is fair, they only flashed their numbers briefly, the rest was covered by Cody. I dont do dead lifts but with everything else I do, the way down is half of the rep and sometimes I'm giving out half way through. In most cases when people do hype shit its cause they're lifting more than what they should be but I will say I don't know shit when it comes to deadlifts 😆
Isaac's technique was near perfect for an SDL. Maybe go try it for yourself and learn what good technique looks like for Deadlifts beyond 500 pounds before calling someone goofy. Dunning Krueger.
@@Lucyferbby I swear to god if you're that one dude at the gym who watches goddamn movies on a 5 minute break between sets on the one machine I always wanna use I'm gonna flip
I know you don't want to hear about form/.technique but that last guy's technique allows him to lift at least 50 lbs more than the other guys (legs spread out). it focuses the weight across the lower back more and lessens knee stress
I am so proud of Cody. I’ve been here since his first TH-cam video and he’s grown so much. I’m so proud of all the things he’s accomplished and the family he’s building for himself. He deserves the world. I will forever continue to watch Cody Ko videos.
14:11 btw cody for deadlifts the closer you have you legs together just means you are using more of your hamstrings while sumo(the wider stance) is more your quads
At 8:01, that can be true, but in my experience, especially for deadlifts, proper form (including the valsalva maneuver) REALLY help increase the amount of weight you can do.
Ah yes, Lara KRAFT. The adventuress who goes to the most dangerous places on earth in order to find the rarest packages of highly processed pre-sliced cheese.
i hate crossfit but the way angel is just controlling the weight up and DOWN instead of dropping it like you're stupposed to after clearing it... that's insane.
I mean this with the best intentions and as kindly as possible Angel looks like you put all the muscle sliders to the max on a sim, like he’s so strong it’s slightly uncanny valley
8:08 The technique used can help a lifter lift more weight. I think what that guy was saying is has an advantage because of his technique but that the other two are just as strong in raw power.
I just started this video but i watched that Jubilee video when it first came out, expecting it to be super "alpha male" cringey but it's actually so nice to watch bc the guys are so kind to each other.
I can't believe i hadn't gotten around to watching Cody's videos until this year. The amount of genuinely fun and entertaining videos that get uploaded so consistently is such a treasure, genuine pure vibe times
Raw strength is like a prime cut of meat; it has natural potential to be a great dish. Good technique is like knowing how to make a great dish; you can make one regardless of the cut you have, and you will almost certainly ruin a prime cut if you have no idea what you're doing.
1 The energy in this video is why I love the gym community! 2 how has Cody never seen someone twerk when trying to hit a deadlift pr? 3 goes to show what a huge difference there is between bodybuilding and powerlifting! 4 I wonder how different it would be if they had to either all do sumo or all do conventional 5 dude with the quads might have a stronger squat in comparison to the rest of the guys. I also think he could have pulled more with a proper rest between attempts and if he just tried to go heavier. It was sweet to see how happy he was with his new pr but I bet he would shock himself and can do more. Absolutely loved this vid!
I hate to be that guy but technique matters a lot 😂 if you take two guys of similar strength and one of them has never bench pressed, and the other has optimized his technique, the guy who knows the technique well could bench A LOT more
Angel seems like an actual angel. Especially since they referred to playing games like Tomb Raider as Lara Croft has my whole heart ❤️ getitbruh lift em weights! 💓
okay as an ex phys bachelor degree and certified PT & DPT student i loved this vid but would’ve changed just a few things. a sumo DL is literally so much easier to get up than a conventional DL. like even though the guy’s form wasn’t so hot who did the heavy ass conventional DL, that is so much harder than a sumo where the amount of distance is so more shorter and there’s s larger base of support. i would’ve liked to see them all choose the same lift at least even if they did mixed grip use a belt or not. also, height and weight matter a lot!! for someone who is say 150 lb to DL 300+ lb is accounted as stronger based on weight vs load versus someone who is say 220 lb lifting 300+ lb. but loved the encouragement and male positivity!! angel definitely could’ve pushed himself more he’s underestimating his ability!!
Ex phys major here, thats exactly what I said! I would’ve loved seeing both conventional and sumo techniques separately bc range of motion matters. You wouldn’t see someone who is 6 foot competing against someone is 5 foot
I would think that the conventional deadlift is tougher because the active muscles are more extended in their starting position than during a sumo-which of course correlates with the distance but is not exactly the same
There are different forms to deadlift that’s why some of the doods had a wide base and other had their feet close. Also shaking like the military dood is pretty common in deadlift I feel. GREAT VID
Hi Cody. Fellow gymbro here. Having the right technique on any lift when trying to prove who can lift the most is actually a good way of doing the competition. If you don’t lift the weights correctly, you are not activating the right muscles. Deadlifts are one of the most common go-tos for working out the whole body. That requires a whole combination of muscles to work in the same unison every time, on every person. Side note: I think a better way to test true strength would include more exercises.
cody you were right. i’m here to tell you that strength isn’t literally just strength when it comes to lifting. a small body like me can lift like 2 times my weight only because of technique. you’re half right but no real string dude relies on only muscle. maybe work on you’re technique and WE’LL see some progress on you. ily
more props to the blonde dude for not dropping it back down and actually setting it down. I think that takes more strength to do both instead of just lifting it up
it’s actually so sweet how they’re all hyping each other up and not like trying to out lift each other aggressively
Thats the basic weightlifter culture 😅 We support each other no matter what
Yeah actually really wholesome. Most normal lifters and gym people are. It’s the gym bros that ruin it for everyone.

I'm so Odd-One-Out pilled that I just was trying to figure out which one was the secret non-gym goer for an embarrassingly long time
Cody always posts at the perfect time

Cody: Technique doesn't matter in how much you can lift
Sumo deadlift has entered the chat
Thank you for uploading consistently. Your videos bring me comfort and always make my day. Much love from Puerto Rico to you and your family 🇵🇷❤️
I could tell Ruben wasn’t going to be last. He was wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants to hide his build.
“You got those grippies on your grippers or what?” 11:57 FAV PART
Raw strength is like a prime cut of meat; it has natural potential to be a great dish. Good technique is like knowing how to make a great dish; you can make one regardless of the cut you have, and you will almost certainly ruin a prime cut if you have no idea what you're doing.
1 The energy in this video is why I love the gym community!
2 how has Cody never seen someone twerk when trying to hit a deadlift pr?
3 goes to show what a huge difference there is between bodybuilding and powerlifting!
4 I wonder how different it would be if they had to either all do sumo or all do conventional
5 dude with the quads might have a stronger squat in comparison to the rest of the guys. I also think he could have pulled more with a proper rest between attempts and if he just tried to go heavier. It was sweet to see how happy he was with his new pr but I bet he would shock himself and can do more.
Absolutely loved this vid!
I hate to be that guy but technique matters a lot 😂 if you take two guys of similar strength and one of them has never bench pressed, and the other has optimized his technique, the guy who knows the technique well could bench A LOT more
Forreal, technique is what enables you to lift heavy in the first place 😭
So does that not mean they're stronger?
@@TheLastSecretGarden Strength is subjective, but cody said technique doesn't matter for deadlifts because its point a to point b which is untrue.
you actually got into this one by far one of the besstt commentaries on line ups u did
Cody saying “Laura Craft” is so funny
4:51..... i GYATT something in ma eye
if cody thinks this is the most wholesome jubilee rank vid he should see the female version of this
I appreciate you Cody, I can’t eat lunch without you.
Cody was silent for a good minute at the start just to break the silence abruptly to talk about how nice that dudes quads were 😂
Just finished making a matcha tea and I knocked the whole thing over watching this video. Thanks Cody 😅
12:45 the final Who on horton hears a who when they needed him to make a sound
Angel seems like an actual angel. Especially since they referred to playing games like Tomb Raider as Lara Croft has my whole heart ❤️ getitbruh lift em weights! 💓
this is the best moment of this series for cody and i love that for him ❤
Just sat down with my sandwich and the video uploaded 4 minutes ago.I am one of the chosen ones
Same
brandon also has a ABSOLUTE MASSIVE DUMP TRUCK/ WAGON in the rear ; a visual at 5:15
Lifting a car off someone sounds like the weirdest mugging ever
I love seeing guys uplifting each other and just cheering each other on
okay as an ex phys bachelor degree and certified PT & DPT student i loved this vid but would’ve changed just a few things. a sumo DL is literally so much easier to get up than a conventional DL. like even though the guy’s form wasn’t so hot who did the heavy ass conventional DL, that is so much harder than a sumo where the amount of distance is so more shorter and there’s s larger base of support. i would’ve liked to see them all choose the same lift at least even if they did mixed grip use a belt or not. also, height and weight matter a lot!! for someone who is say 150 lb to DL 300+ lb is accounted as stronger based on weight vs load versus someone who is say 220 lb lifting 300+ lb. but loved the encouragement and male positivity!! angel definitely could’ve pushed himself more he’s underestimating his ability!!
Ex phys major here, thats exactly what I said! I would’ve loved seeing both conventional and sumo techniques separately bc range of motion matters. You wouldn’t see someone who is 6 foot competing against someone is 5 foot
I thought the same thing about the sumo being easier
I would think that the conventional deadlift is tougher because the active muscles are more extended in their starting position than during a sumo-which of course correlates with the distance but is not exactly the same
adding “strengthy” to my vocab immediately
this was the funniest gayest, also not to mention horniest dude ranking video we've had the pleasure of experiencing on here
There are different forms to deadlift that’s why some of the doods had a wide base and other had their feet close. Also shaking like the military dood is pretty common in deadlift I feel. GREAT VID
Fr shoutout to whoever keeps letting Cody have fun
As a wise man once said:
"Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but NOBODY wants to lift no HEAVY ASS WEIGHTS"
Hi Cody. Fellow gymbro here. Having the right technique on any lift when trying to prove who can lift the most is actually a good way of doing the competition. If you don’t lift the weights correctly, you are not activating the right muscles. Deadlifts are one of the most common go-tos for working out the whole body. That requires a whole combination of muscles to work in the same unison every time, on every person.
Side note: I think a better way to test true strength would include more exercises.
cody you were right. i’m here to tell you that strength isn’t literally just strength when it comes to lifting. a small body like me can lift like 2 times my weight only because of technique. you’re half right but no real string dude relies on only muscle. maybe work on you’re technique and WE’LL see some progress on you. ily
The fact that Angel puts the weight down so gently omg this guy
I JUST SAT DOWN FOR LUNCH LETS GOOOO
I never expected this video in particular to be so adorable. That's bro love right there.. just bros loving bros.
Ironman Cody just being humble af
I’ve worked in a gym for 20 yrs & never seen so many humble gym bros. Love it.
The fitness community is so encouraging, I love it😊
5:03 no h*mo but that fool got a dumper
as a very girly girl, their energy while lifting is so wholesome and just making me smile
I love seeing guys getting pumped and hyping each other up 🥰 wholesome indeed
Cody is more dependable to show up each week than my dad ever was
8:06 - 8:10 is the most military thing Cody has EVER said
Laura Croft🔪??❌ Laura Craft🧵!!✅
Quite literally watched this video while working out in my gym, it got me hyped up.
How have I never noticed how hairy Cody’s hands are????? Dude got his wife pregnant and became a fucking werewolf. He got that dog in him
I’m sorry
more props to the blonde dude for not dropping it back down and actually setting it down. I think that takes more strength to do both instead of just lifting it up
cody pronouncing laura croft as laura “craft” is the most dad i have ever seen him
It's literally Lara as well not Laura 💀
my favorite ranking video yet. so wholesome
