crazy

Where will it end?
What is the limit a human can lift?

 

[Johnnie Walker]

cant imagine it going much further

 

[spartacus]

yes, it would be interesting to know what clean and jerk record would be if there was o drug testing. alexeev lifted 256kg in 1976, and they rarely do better now.

Eddie Hall deadlift 500kg

Superhuman. Eddie does it again, with straps and no locked knees. All we need now is someone to do it properly........

500kg raw squat coming up in the next couple of years.

Thinking the same. Awesome effort no matter what but as far as I know it's not the deadlift world record in any PL fed.

I'd wish they'd stop claiming 'world records' for these sorts of things. Impressive feats of strength, but it takes away from those who do it unassisted.

[spartacus]

it is a world strongman record. no dispute there.

 

[Darkoz]

Looks like he carked it in the end

 

[Goosey]

Iagine how more amazing that would have been without wrist straps and a big gut.

Its a problem. What do you count? Where anything goes (Eddie Hall)? Where you deadlift in a powerlifting comp but only do the deadlift (Bennie Magnusson)? Where you deadlift as part as a proper powerlifting comp (Ed Coen)? Or you deadlift without a suit and get drug tested after (Brad Gillingham)?

I guess its not a lot different from saying your protein powder is "100% pure" or that gym lifts count.

get over it, it is a legitimate strongman event; I did not know powerlifting ha a monopoly on how exercises are conducted.

Which is why it should be prefixed as a strongman deadlift. I enjoy watching strongman, but using straps and hitching is not the same as a powerlifting deadlift.

 

[spartacus]

yes, agree with that.

 

[Darkoz]

At least he had the beard and shaved head
