Hubgeezer Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 During November, this lift was all over the Internet, hundreds of places, maybe millions of views. Even made it onto Jimmy Kimmel. I chose the "least offensive" link I could find in terms of comments/posts/etc. My thoughts are: 1. Many people who did not know what a "Deadlift" is, now know what it is. 2. Many people now know how important "form" is. 3. Even if you make millions, it is hard for some folks to find a good Personal Trainer. Hard to believe he could lift that much with that form without having previously crippled himself. Whoever trained him ought to be fired.

Mike Rinderle Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 My thoughts: • He's a 40 year old guy that just deadlifted over twice his bodyweight. 99% of people walking down the street could not do the same. • That looked to be right around a true max. Show me anyone who isn't a pro powerlifter who's form doesn't suffer when pulling their absolute max. Actually, his form looked better than half the videos on the Youtubes. • No matter what you think of the guy (or his dad) I'm all for anyone getting stronger in the greatest lift ever.

The lift: KK WR PULL This guy makes Donnie Jr. Look like he's pulling with a straight back. He should give up the sport. Never mind that it was one of the greatest DLs in history.

patrickmeniru Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Bit late to the party on this, but (taking considerations about who he is/his dad is etc. etc. out of the equation) I didn't think the form was that bad for a max - would you want to lift like that all the time? Obviously not, but given he acknowledged that the form broke down I assume his normal lifts are done with a more neutral position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
