I Squatted 705… and Thought I Was Done Forever

The first time I squatted 705 pounds, it scared the hell out of me. My head felt like it was going to explode, my vision was gone, my balance was off, and I genuinely thought, “That’s it. I’m never doing that again.” In this video, I break down why that moment felt like a dead end, and how it actually became the turning point that led to much bigger lifts. We talk about hitting ceilings, failing despite doing “everything right,” why brute force eventually stops working, and how smarter training, recovery, and learning from Westside Barbell changed everything. If you’ve ever hit a wall in lifting, jiu-jitsu, business, or life and thought you were finished, this one’s for you. Sometimes the moment that scares you the most is the one that forces you to level up. ➢SHOP NOW: https://withinyoubrand.com/ ➢SHOP NOW: https://markbellslingshot.com FOLLOW Mark Bell ➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marksmellybell ➢ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkBellSuperTraining ➢ Twitter: https://twitter.com/marksmellybell ➢ Tik Tok: marksmellybell FOLLOW Nsima Inyang ➢ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/NsimaInyang ➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nsimainyang/?hl=en ➢ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nsimayinyang?lang=en FOLLOW Sling Shot: ➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mbslingshot ➢ Tik Tok: mbslingshot FOLLOW Super Training Gym on social: ➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesupertraininggym Created and produced by Mark Bell - Sling Shot Media.
