Man I’m just enjoying my 350 squat now. I see you coming up in my recommendations now and again and honestly some of your videos have some of the most impressive squats I’ve ever seen, and it’s keeping me motivated to get to even half of where you are. Thank you man
No problem, Joshua. I really appreciate the kind words. Hearing that I inspire or motivate other people is what makes posting these videos worth it. Keep killing it 👊
I stumbled apon your videos a few months ago and you are by far one of the best ATG squatters on TH-cam! Keep it up! You really are an inspiration for me to grow my squat and strength in general.
@ Damien Pezzuti your Uncle recorded my 300lbs front squat this past Sunday at a gym in Florida. I was on vacation in Sarasota, he asked me if i knew you after he recorded me. I told him yes i watch your videos on TH-cam, he said that's my nephew and im his uncle. I was so hyped up and we talked about your beast squats for a minute. Just wanted to let you know that your squats inspire me daily 💪 🏋
The pace, the form, the commitment. I don’t know why it took so long for you to appear on my feed! Yours are the best squats I’ve seen. Ballsy AND correct.
Someone already mentioned it but I also stumbled on your videos and you are without a doubt one of the best out there for this type of training. You inspire me bro, keep up the good work!
hey Damian, can you make a video on how to get your squat up/ talking about your squat progression and how long it took you to reach where you are today? your squat is insanely impressive, one of the strongest squatters ive seen.
I remember squatting 585 for a single the first time. Knee wraps, belt, and double canvas squat suit. Thought I was the man. Lol You’re a beast much respect. 👍
@@caleb1206 well I went on to hit a 601 with only wraps and a belt and a 804 with full gear. After injuries and getting old I can still rep out 405 for 12 reps these days at 44 years old I’m happy with that lol
Aye man nice lifts. Quick question did you try out/was playing for the Steelers back in the day I saw you had Steelers training camp in ur old vids. Btw keep up the great work I’m 15 and this motivates me to get better 👍
I did not tryout for the Steelers, sadly. I sure wish I could say that I did. I appreciate your kind words. Stay motivated and keep putting in that work 💪
I think squatting is one of the best things you can do for your back. I’ve never had any back issues from squatting. I don’t think people get back issues from squatting, I think they get them for other reasons, like poor technique and/or poor mobility to get into the proper position
I warmup very quickly to my top set. The only rest I take is however long it takes to load the bar. Once I get to my top set, I rest about 8-10 minutes
@@DamienPezzuti Toshiki Yamamoto is an Olympic Weightlifter known for his super strong squat. He uploaded a video of him squatting 200kg for 26 reps if I remember. I think you could beat him!
absolutely insane strength, is this possible to achieve absolute natural? my goal is 300kg absolute raw no belt no sleeves , naked knee like that , but looks for me like a very distant future.. I'm now on 270 whit sleeves I'm not using belt at all for nothing but injuries and quad pain holds me down whit progress

“His quads are ready... Knees tweaked, elbows steady... There’s sweat on his forehead already, Damien Pezutti.”
10/10 this is fantastic 👏
He is nervous the bar surface looks knurled and ready to dive down but it keeps on forgetting that gravity has no effect on him
This is the best thing ive ever seen

Appreciate that 👊

No way?! That is so awesome! It just goes to show what a small world this really is. I appreciate you sharing that story with me.
@Damien Pezzuti i literally said that exact same thing to your Uncle, what a small world 🌎 No problem man, thanks for commenting back !
Damien deserves as much recognition as Clarence!!
Thank you, but I would never put myself in his company
@@DamienPezzuti there’s no need to be humble you have one of the greatest squats of all time!
Clarence is natty...Damien is not. 😐
@@rockon8174 natty or not they’re both world class squatters
@@rockon8174 Actually Clarence isn't natty, its obvious he's on something.
Love seeing your squats. Absolute beast doing high bar, ATG, no belt, and no sleeves/wraps. Also, you make it look easy 💪
The pace, the form, the commitment. I don’t know why it took so long for you to appear on my feed! Yours are the best squats I’ve seen. Ballsy AND correct.
I’m almost 55 years old and have been in the gym since my teens. You are as good, if not better, as I have ever seen!
That is very high praise, Michael. Thank you for that
Please Damien, could you give us more info about Bulgarian style training for powerlifting?
Just watching you hit these is inspirational.
Someone already mentioned it but I also stumbled on your videos and you are without a doubt one of the best out there for this type of training. You inspire me bro, keep up the good work!
I really appreciate that, Andrew. Keep up the good work yourself
inspirational man. on my journey to 500lbs and your strength is epic. i thought my heart could barely handle 305 lol.
Always amazing to watch so methodical
great work man, enjoying that clatter of 6-8 45's on each side....amazing lifts, impressive.

your strong elite keep going man! best RAW squatter on the planet
Best squats I have ever seen. 14 biscuits on the bar and he is scratching his ass with his heals. The explosiveness is freaking impressive.
Damien Pezzuti is my spirit animal..
This video literally got me hyped for my next meet soon. Aiming for a comp squat PR now!!!!!!!
Kill it, Jaimerius 👊

@@wickedwrister76 804? I'm going to have to question your natty status
@@caleb1206 it doesn’t matter anymore when you can squat 804 man
watched this so many times acc may favourite lifting video as side from anything Clarence does
Any tips on increasing squats? I am huge fan and i love the videos! Hopefully one-day i could squat atleast half of what you do!
That last rep was me with 145lbs for 12 💀 I almost died and people were looking at me but I powered through it
You’re strong 💪
Love watching you squat!! Absolute beast of a man! Are your calves built through squats, or do you train them separately?
Appreciate the kind words, Luke! My calves are built almost entirely through squatting with the exception of some jump rope tempo every now and then.
Loved it!
When are we getting an updated warmup and stretch video? I’ve been using your old stretch routine for years now and would love an update
This is fuckin epic. The guy is officially my favourite squatter
Bruh squat king 🤴🏻!!!!
Errrm.... you’re a beast. Full-stop. Period.
Damn bro. You are an asolute inspiration. Excuse my french but, fucking amazing.
It just blows my mind that much weight RAW at your b/w so much!
God tier squatting... this is gonna blow up man, you deserve it though. What's your number 1 squat tip bro? For funsies
I don’t know if it’ll blow up, but thank you. Number one tip would be to understand that squatting is the best accessory for squatting.
My guy casually repping my Max. Great sight to see and aspire to. Of course I could never achieve this since I weight less than 150.
Damn I wish there was a time frame for this but honestly it's f****** amazing either way
You're just a true beast bro in all legitimacy kudos keep it up!!@
Much appreciated, thank you!

Well I'm a beginner and I can't go that deep even with 225 lbs, youre doing a great job
You have so much energy, do I need to work on my cardio for energy? I get tired easily these days
Damien's neck is becoming thick enough to have its own zip code at this point lol.
Goddamn tank in human form.
Damn, that is tough!
Hey I’m new to your channel, how did you decide base your channel around squats and deadlifts?
holy shit man this is inspiring
I appreciate that, thank you
So I must say: seeing someone squat highbar atg with lots of 45s rattling on the bar is just beautiful for my eyes and ears.
What program(s) do you follow or do to be able to squat that heavy weight in moderate to high reps?
i’ve seen you wear WSBB shirts in videos. Do you have a conjugate style training approach?
What are your warm ups before heavy lifts? your knees looks solid sleeveless
Is there any chance we can get some squat fails, would be interesting to see
Can you post a full warm up routine?
I say, greatest squatter ever.
The Mike Tyson of Squatting
Damien on the 725 you moved your grip out to the collars, did you find that better grip overall for you? Or were you just experimenting?
I was just experimenting with it and have since you returned to my older grip
Damien what’s your program like. I want to get into powerlifting.
Freak of nature! Do you do pause squats?
Do you do certain calf workouts or no?
God bless him he's as strong as an animal
Mr. Perfect!!!
Do you have a video on the sort of weekly pattern of squat/ benching that u do?
Not currently, no. Right now, I’m squatting and pulling 2x a week and benching 2x a week. I change it up quite a bit
Wow!!!!
How much do you squat for sets ifyou hit these high numbers on max?
Quads of steel
Sorry but, you online couch? Keep killing it, huge fan.
I appreciate the kind words. And I do online coaching, yes
Shoot me an email: damienpezzuti@gmail.com
Wow
Never mind. Damn that’s impressive
Damien, what are your thoughts on squatting and its associated back injuries many people face. Have you had any back troubles during your lifetime?
I think squatting is one of the best things you can do for your back. I’ve never had any back issues from squatting. I don’t think people get back issues from squatting, I think they get them for other reasons, like poor technique and/or poor mobility to get into the proper position
Damien are you still doing keto with refeed on fridays?
Bro I do not understand how you only have 19k subs
Imagine if he used belt and wraps
Probably wouldn't make much off a difference here, wraps would tho
I think you mean a belt and sleeves. If he did use them. It wouldn’t make much of a difference it would probably add 10 pounds maximum 15
Algun consejo para levantar mas peso en squats
I don’t mean to be disrespectful or rude...I have a serious question....are you taken any gear?
How much do you bench bro?
Name brand of his squats shoes?
How often do you squat?
Monolifts? What are those used for? lol Walking out that heavy ass weight on a monolift. Crazy!
How fast is your 40dash DP? You should be hitting atleast 4 6 or 4.5 with that leg strength. Maybe faster.
Any chance we can get some of your old content reuploaded? 👀
You and Clarence Kennedy are my idols, fking insane. May I ask how long do you rest in between sets?
I warmup very quickly to my top set. The only rest I take is however long it takes to load the bar. Once I get to my top set, I rest about 8-10 minutes
@@DamienPezzuti man that’s crazy to me, ur lungs must be super healthy haha. Ty for the reply brother
Whats your low bar squat
I wanna see what would happen if you did low bar and threw on a belt and sleeves. Would be very interesting
I just wanna know at what bodyweight that 725 was done, crazy strong
210
Guys who go high bar beltless are true alphas. No doubt
My squat is exactly like this guy but minus the 400 lbs
👌 Miedo.. Pentagon Jr
Hi Damien!
Nice depth!
What's your bodyweight?
As of this morning I was 197. In this video, my weight is anywhere between 203-225.
workout split ?
Any advice ?
If these are lbs plates at the beginning is that not 685 or am I just bad at math?
You should join the Toshiki squat challenge that Clarence and others are doing! :)
May I ask what the challenge is?

No belt !!! You’re fucking krazy !! But 💪🏽 af
bruh.i wish i strong like u.how many year do your train?.,
absolutely insane strength, is this possible to achieve absolute natural? my goal is 300kg absolute raw no belt no sleeves , naked knee like that , but looks for me like a very distant future.. I'm now on 270 whit sleeves I'm not using belt at all for nothing but injuries and quad pain holds me down whit progress
That's amazing! At which bw/height/age?
@@mooncracker5603 32y, 103kg bw /167cm
Damn and I get knee pain whenever I sit
I’m now fw someone who squats over 500 lbs with no music
How tall is you?
ridiculous man
Legs are that of a stallion
Have you ever used a belt?
Do you think you could squat 800 at around 110kg bodyweight?
I do. I think I could do it around 220-230, to be honest. It’s hard for me to maintain that weight without force feeding myself and being miserable.
@@DamienPezzuti epic. Well I definitely believe you can do it if you ever decide to pursue 800. Keep up the great work pal👍
