    Donnie is looking great! Deleted my IG a while ago but he is one of the best follows. Have gotten so much good info from him over the years.
  • @shmoo1000
    I remember watching Donnie Thompson circa 2011 on Mark bells channel when he was squatting 1200+ lbs. Great to see him still moving weight like nothing
  • Awesome video. The bowtie that Spud and Donnie made was a game changer for my bicep tendonitis.
  • @king-rabbit
    Wow, that dog is an absolutely great training partner, just chilling right there (probably assess your technique). Thank you for the positive content!
  • @BMO_Creative
    Jujij also drops some MAJOR wisdom... "You can't do some of this stuff online. You need a crew"... Well said Sir!
  • Glad to see more new content. Juji and mufudad are both great inspiration for me.
  • @robdoe8694
    Looking forward to the gym tour! I always love 'em.
  • @TimC19
    Loved hearing the roberto garza and olin kreutz stories, my 2 favorite Chicago Bears.
  • @_oskarrr
    Great vibe. Squatting together like that is basically a spiritual experience. I used to do box squats every Friday with some friends and we would always go heavy and afterwards we would just destroy our legs with leg press, leg extensions, front squats, lunges, bodyweight squats etc (maybe not all in one workout ha). There is just something about doing it together that makes it so much better...
  • @ImaWreckU
    Interesting capture, at about 13:02 you can actually watch the hip muscles fire off the box.
  • @87sport
    That really was a great video!
  • @setitfree78
    So when a car is on top of you while your sitting in a chair eating breakfast you'll be able to sit up lifting the car too. Got it.
  • @ville6338
    Great watch! I especially like the finnish flag on the rack!
  • Respect to how he does the weights. I do all out but first in, rest out is completely valid
  • @andrewhauge2489
