Check out the hip drive on this 1,034 pound squat:

Here is yet another video of my friend AC. The little bastard just keeps getting stronger. In this video you see his last set of benching 330 lbs for three sets of five, then you see him press 220 lbs for three sets of five, and deadlift 515 for a triple. The bench was done on a different day, and the press and deadlift were done after squatting one set of five at 465. Oh, and yesterday he pressed 225 for three sets of five.
Fuck you, AC.
AC Bench, Deadlift, Press from A.C. on Vimeo.
T-shirts are supposed to be finished printing soon.
Fuck. Seriously now, what kind of percentile of strength is this kid in? And what numbers was he pushing before Starting Strength?
Seriously man, that kid is fucking strong. Good work AC.
Fucking hell. AC you beast, how long have you been lifting? and is all this strength from SS?
…tank job
jesus thats strong – what is his height and weight?
The deadlift was 517 btw. I hate kilos.
5″10-5″11 206.
I have been lifting for a long time, but I owe most of the strength to SS.
My previous 1 rm before SS was: Squat 415(easy), Press 235, Deadlift 500.
A.C. you are my inspiration. I should receive SS in the mail shortly, and then I will hop on the pain train. What was your BW before this run of SS?
Before SS it was 183.
Is SS just for beginners or does it go more in depth?
Jesus H. Christ A.C. Those lifts are stupid.
That is all.
mark rippetoe interview will be cool.
that guy doing the 1k squat looked like he could do another rep or two based on how fast he got that weight up.. redic.
A.C. whats your diet and supplements like?
For the record, AC was on a slightly different program before doing the Starting Strength model in which he was lifting twice a week. He didn’t start cold.
He also powerlifted in high school a bit. However, last December he got appendicitis and his bodyweight dropped to 170. We could consider that his starting point.
I should say my “Current” strength is owed to SS.
Yeah and after I got surgery I definitely lost a lot of strength. Good starting point to look at.
I”m around 5”11″, 170.I am very interested in getting 70s big. My numbers are low (as is my form for cleans)Is there like a scholarship program or way to become like a guinea pig at Wichita Falls. If so sign me up.Otherwise I guess SS and PP are the place to start?
Fucking hell. That is ungodly!
It looks like your basically surpassing or damn near close to ALL the elite numbers for your bodyweight.
My god man!
Why are you getting 70”s strong? Just to be more useful or sports/competition?
Strong fucker…
i need more milk..
Son of a bitch. Nice job A.C.
I”m excited for Rip s interview, they are always entertaining, and it comes on right at my lunch. Good to see this site will be getting more exposure then. Hopefully more people will join the fight against the wanting to be small epidemic sweeping our nation.
A.C., Justin:
Quick question. I know Rippetoe talks of doing assistance work in conjunction with the main lifts in his texts, but I”m curious. Do you guys do any assistance work? or is it strictly the big lifts (i.e. squat, bench, dead, press, etc.) that you do? If you are doing assistance work, what specifically are you doing? Set/rep schemes are appreciated.
By the way, since visiting this site I have gained 5 solid pounds in three weeks using the 70s Big nutrition plan. All with plain ole food, and using zero supplements! Seriously, this site rocks!
Stay Strong,
Shinebox
I lift like this cause I don”t want to get killed by zombies. Even though I will have to run away, haven”t ran in forever, I still want to put up a fight.
. . . and I am starting to compete come Nov.
Oh, and AC – impressive lifts. You are a strong prick. Emphasis on prick.
Is that a tree next to AC when he deads?
You have set the standard AC. Great work and intensity!
A.C. is an stupid prick… And, I say that with the good kind of envy.
And, A.C. lifts because strenght brings happiness. If you don”t believe me, check his avatar (which I”m gessing is the angry before pic) in big format: http://70sbig.com/avatars/img_4061.jpg
Now, compare that with the happy jump after the bench.
You all need to come to Boston to watch PumpPete lift, clean, smooth and slow reps. Nothing cheap…
Kittensmash and crew: you can submit questions for Rip, Charles Staley or Phil Stevens now for the radio show at the iron radio link above.
The show promises to be a good one.
Uh, massbuilder, this certainly isn’t a “whose dick is bigger” contest. Why don’t you chill out?
fuck ac. you are awesome, dude.
AC what were you doing before SS? cause your lifts were already pretty big.
Shinebox- On the novice I did no assistance work at all. I will soon do rac pulls and haltings after my meet.
Damagg- Yes that is a tree. The School gym is fucking retarded. Today they placed a NO CHALK policy, apparently.
Alex- I was on a strength based Crossfit program Justin Gave me.
I love all of the comments. It always encourages me to lift.
Hey A.C. on your OHP there is some bounce at your delts(bottom) is that ok? Is that still considered strict? I have been pausing at the bottom,which is the correct way? Great lifts,you are a beast!Thanks Skinny!
Skinny- Yes that is okay for the tech I do. I follow how Mark Rippetoe teaches it.
I give you bonus points for your “walk toward the bar” on your deadlift.
The stamping the ground looking at your feet, exhaling and then walking fast to rip that &@$%&?$@# bar out of the ground was done stylishly and well executed. 10/10!
