Jujimufu and Joey Szatmary went through a legendary squat session.
Jon ‘Jujimufu’ Call and Joey Szatmary are fitness YouTubers with huge followings. Recently, the duo joined forces to recreate a legendary squat session. They competed 43 sets of box squats at the EliteFTS training equipment headquarters in London.
The YouTube sensations began the session with the intention of battling like Chuck Vogelpohl and Dave Tate. The two Ogot together for a squat session that was supposed to feature eight sets of two reps with 405 pounds. Once those sets were complete, Tate wanted to be the last one standing and decided to add some more sets. Nearly an hour later, the two completed 40 sets of box squats before Vogelpohl ended up being the winner.
Tate was present in London for this recent squat session, along with Sam Brown. The two began with eight sets of two reps with 330 pounds. There was little rest between sets as Call and Szatmary started their sets after the other finished.
Jujimufu and Joey Szatmary completed 30 sets with this weight before some more was added. Tate added 50 pounds for the final 13 sets. It took 43 sets for Call to step back and declare Szatmary, who was completing as many as six reps, the winner. The full video was posted to Jujimufu’s YouTube page.
Jon ‘Jujimufu’ Call has become a fitness freak. He consistently shows off his latest eye-opening feats for his 1.7 million followers on Instagram. This includes full splits with his feet on two chairs while performing a shoulder press with a barbell. It is no surprise to see him take on a squat session of this magnitude.
Chuck Vogelpohl was the winner of the original squat session. He is a powerlifting legend who is often forgotten about. He competed in weight classes that spanned from 90kg to 125kg. He was an extremely intense powerlifter during his career, which was almost two decades long. Vogelpohl was victorious in many events but it all culminated during the 2006 WPO World Finals. During his career, Vogelpohl squatted 1,175 pounds and deadlifted 835 pounds.
The duo of Jujimufu and Joey Szatmary have completed many feats of strength in their careers and there will be plenty more coming. This was an incredible competition that must be seen.
