Kirk Karwoski aka Captain Kirk was one of the most notorious powerlifters of all time for his attitude and is squats. And unlike today’s generation he used REAL plates.

Is he still alive? What ever happened to him?
Lol. If this guy did that garbage to me, I would calmly walk away with my stuff, say nothing to him, and talk to the owner while I called the police letting them know that some douchebag roid raging jackass threatened me for no reason. No one has to put up with that in the real world.
Peeps, Oh My Gosh fan It looks like booty work cooking 8D
1:15 XD voice cracked
Capt Kirk=One of the greatest squatters of all time. Check out the powerlifting documentary Power Unlimited, he and Ed Coan are featured quite a bit.
Juiced to the max with a sprinkle of roid-rage.
0 seconds to dodge a 25 plate to the head for that guy!
LMAO when the T-1000 tells you to GET OUT of his squat rack, you get out!
You are in New York City, you can't touch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFjZWnhmyO8
great powerlifter but real bad person.
Take it easy. It's not like Kirk Karwoski was walking into L.A. Fitness and kicking some poor dope off the squat rack. He lifted in a power lifting gym where it was undoubtedly common knowledge that Mondays, or whichever, were his squat days. So, the vast majority of the time, he certainly entered the gym to find an empty rack. And, when he didn't, it was probably only because the regular guys wanted to have some fun with a new guy who didn't know the routine.
At the time, he was among the best, if not the best, squatters in the world. So, what happened is more akin to Michael Jordan demanding to have a certain basket alone once per week to practice. Put simply, if you've spent a week gearing up for a 1000×1 (and, ultimately, x2) squat, you do not wait for a rack in a gym devoted to power lifting. Particularly if your routine is completely predictable.
He comes off as a well-spoken and grateful person in the suggested Mark Rippetoe inverview. And of course, in hindsight, the behavior seems overly aggressive and unnecessary. But people lifting in gyms like this know what they're getting into. Check out, for instance, the trailer for the new Westside Barbell documentary linked below.

nick.. great video love the channel and all of its content. you keep this up and you will have way over 100k subscribers fast.
Someone tries to punk me out of the rack I'm using and we're fighting. Throw my shit across the gym and turn around to catch a 45 lb plate in the teeth. Of course, if I was only 5'7" I'd be a little insecure too.
I was in Hawaii watching the Budweiser World Record Breakers 1988 and saw David Passanella vs Clark break the 1000lb. mark.
no chance he would talk to me like that hes strong but bet he cant take a fast and clean hook to the side of his head … they all pass out 😉

Everybody on here complaining that he acted like a scumbag definitely wasn't working out in gyms in the late 60's and 70's. I can tell you every gym had a guy like that. I was working out in a marines gym on the U.S.S. Saratoga and a marine who worked out in Lou Ferrigno's gym in Brooklyn told me Lou came in and took over a bench for bench pressing but also threw out the guys radio. Even though Lou was deaf he didn't like radios around. I worked out at YMCA gyms in Hackansack and Ridgewood N.J. and they all had some badass people in them.
Pounds, Kilograms. 1,000 lbs. x2….a little more dramatic if you call it: 1,000 lbs. x2 or 1 ton of wgt.
What a piece of shit he was
I wonder if he would have told Ray Williams to fuck off…
The SQUAT itself can be an addicting movement.
For all the Kirk fans, here is some long lost home video that we just posted of him. At first glance his thickness at the time (1994) is almost shocking. Check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isdbuAwXjLs&t=58s
I'm sorry but since I'm a firm believer everyone deserves to do their thing that is garbage that he'd throw someone else's stuff and just take what they're using! What an asshole, idrgaf about his record now
5'7 is very short for a man
He is jacked
aff and squats squats 4 times more than me but I would knock him out very fast
Too much Tren
