Raw Squat 1 Compilation Reuploaded and Improved

[breathinglife]

John Broz filed a copyright complaint against my original squat compilation, so I remade the video and replaced Adell and Mendes with some stronger squatters. I also improved the editing and video quality of the whole thing. You'll see I've added several more huge squats to this video.

Saw the post Broz made about it on ********. Did my part to call him out for his pettiness. Honestly I have no idea what would possess him to do something like that -- I don't know the guy, but it seemed out of character for how I viewed him. brb avid powerlifter and squatter includes 2 5 second clips of your lifters performing a training lift in a squatting compilation, must mean he's trying to monetize your efforts.

Enjoyed the revamp.

It's fine. Mendes and Adell were amazing lifters, but there are other people out there that can squat as much or more at the same bodyweights, so it's fine if he doesn't want me to use the clips. There are plenty of others, and I really needed to remake the video anyway--it was pretty bad quality because it was the first I ever made.

EDIT: I didn't know he made a post on FB. Did he say I was trying to monetize it? You can't make money of compilation videos legally, I don't think--they aren't an original production. I don't make any money, anyway.

Sweet video, as always. My friend lifts at John Broz's gym so I messaged him about it to see if he heard anything. Pretty stupid but whatever, he has control over those videos.

EDIT:

This is what I said to my friend,
"Lol, so I heard your boy John Broz filed a copyright complaint against this guy's squat compilation because it had a couple of 5 second clips from Mendes and Adell. So the dude had to re-do his compilation taking out those clips. Pretty funny stuff."

And this was his reply,
"Lol @ the comment about replacing pats lifts with stronger squatters. Cool story bro, he replaced pat with guys who are 5-10 years older, COMPETE IN POWERLIFTING, and are using belts, knee wraps, monolifts and singlets, and a low
bar barely parallel squat.... And squat a total of 25 lbs more. So impressed.... Not sure what the reasoning was behind the complaint but such an ignorant comment regardless"

Sounds irate.

He just posted up a screenshot of the "This video has been removed due to copyright..." message with the caption, "Youtube clowns getting smacked down." What followed was basically a handful of people asking why the hell he'd bother doing something so needless, and present it in such an offensive manner.

Anyway, guy has his reasons. Even if they don't make sense.

I'm always confused with these videos lol........ I mean Konstantin squatted 705 w/ wraps at 165 and the record is 676 (unless it was unofficial) as well it seems there is a couple of squatters able to break the 710 w/ wraps at 181. Hudoyarov will always rank up there as one of my favorite squats.

These videos are always awesome motivation to show how weak I really am lmao.

[gilesmiles1]

one of my favourite vids

hudyarov gets me everytime

and john broz? i have no words

Strong E-Tech rage. Broz should focus more on getting his guys not to piss dirty and less on Youtube. Then again since all their major accomplishments are on home video I guess you have to take a stand and lay the Smackdown.

Is that how they think over there? They sound full of themselves.

You gotta watch out for those singlets, I hear they can add 100lb to your squat.

Yea they do, piss poor attitude.

Which is funny because they pisstest so poorly.

I guess so. I told him I was just messing with him and he kind of backed off but he also kind of admitted that he is programmed to hate powerlifters.

Yea I made fun of him for it. It's also funny because plenty of weightlifters wear belts, knee wraps, and all have to wear singlets for competition. I guess its only cheating when you are a powerlifter though. Apparently low bar is automatically cheating as well, I was not aware.

Konstantin's 705@165 was done in training.

Actually the guys who I replaced Mendes with we're Minetti, who did 800 with naked knees, unlike Mendes who used cheater knee sleeves. Also, Sumner with 825 (he's done 880 no wraps). I replaced Adell with Castillo who does use wraps, but 683x4 @ 183 is on a whole different level from 628@206, even if the 628 was no wraps.

The last difference I'll mention is that Minetti, Sumner, and Castillo all compete in drug-tested competition. I don't have anything against lifters who use, but I think it's worth mentioning since a lot of WLers paint PLers as using roids so much more than oly lifters. Also, WLers use belt and wraps all the time.

Mendes and Adell were fantastic lifters. Pat should do PLing where he could make a name for himself without having to avoid drug tests. I'm sure He'd get flown out to that Nov 3rd meet with Leeman.

I like the sound of that

Yeah, I think he did a 2,000+ gym total in just Rehbands. The guy can bench 500 raw with retard form--he doesn't even train bench, and he looks like someone who has hardly ever benched when he does it.

What is the name of the soundtrack please? Amazing video and that song has to be in my max-lift playlist

Thanks!

Lol I don't believe I missed all this commotion before. Kinda weak sauce that he wanted those lifts taken out.

I wonder what would have happened if you would have resisted? You aren't making money off the videos and there isn't intent to advertise their squats specifically.

Stuff gets used all the time. Someone should make a video just talking about their squats while they are happening and see him get all butthurt about it. As far as I know, that's fair game.

[zmcdole]

I agree with the "Pat should do powerlifting". Yeah, he could probably and very well may qualify for the Olympics in the near future. His window is closing and it's not like it's something he can just decide to do whenever he wants like powerlifting. His actual competitive career in powerlifting would be longer IMO. He's still pretty young so I guess he still has time, but he'd probably be a pretty darn good powerlifter.

[BombDonald]

It's also funny seeing the spectrum of how people sh*t on each others squats.....powerlifters complain about SPF squats (just to name 1 federation) and olympic lifters complain about powerlifting squats in general.

F*ck squats. Seriously.

When it comes to Oly lifters, it gets pretty absurd.

For example, I included this video on my compilation #6, and in the comments people are bashing the guy because he isn't doing "ATG" reps with the weight. 573x3 @ 187, no belt, no spotters, no wraps... and they still find something to complain about. Maybe they aren't aware that ATG is a figure of speech, and you don't actually have to touch the ground?
