Because we all need a little inspiration every now and then...
This kid right here (Yes I said kid, he's only 20) is Pat Mendes. He is one of the strongest guys in the world right now and is one of my biggest inspirations. He is going to be competing in Nationals this summer and many people are anticipating a blowout performance by Pat. It's safe to say I am extremely excited to see how he does.
Note his impressive depth and fantastic form while still handling 800 lbs. Usually when you see people squatting this kind of weight they are using a sumo stance, wearing a belt and power lifting suit, only reaching parallel, and are surrounded by at least 5 spotters. Pat isn't using any of those vices.
And that is why THIS - is an inspirational lift.
Happy Training,
