I believe he was just above 275, competing in the 308 class. His leg development is ridiculous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulfgeat Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I didn't see the label at the top of the screen and thought his 981 lift was the 1074 lift. I literally thought: "that was the smoothest max effort deadlift I've ever seen in my life." Then the video kept playing and I realized my mistake. Crazy stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knowlton Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 yep it looked like he had more in the tank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Savage Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 It's obviously very strong but let's be real, this is very far away from a true deadlift. It's on the new kabuki deadlift bar which makes the grip easier and the rom even shorter than it already was, which was already really short. The plates are up like 3 inch or something, compared to the likes of Thor or Eddie pulling and he would have to do several reps to equal the rom and he's lifting from a much stronger leverage position. It's like them doing a short range above the knee rack pull. Not knocking the guy, he's lifting within the rules but the rules are awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude is obviously mad strong and a genetic phenom, but in my personal opinion Benni magnusson still holds the record, Its a similar situation with Denis Cyplenkov's strict curl record, everyone is attempting to skirt the rules to edge the record out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think deadlift bars need rid of altogether, to me it's not a 'dead'lift when the bar bends several inches before the weight leaves the floor.

I agree with you on all points so far, other than the DL bar. DL bars are still legit bars. I’m not a big fan of the elephant bar, mainly just bc of how ridiculous it looks. but didn’t Eddie and Thor both set records on bonafide DL bars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knowlton Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Eddie for sure but Thor was in his own gym with his own weighs . Not sure about the bar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the bar I’d assume Thor used a DL bar also then. Surely he wouldn’t have intentionally made the lift more difficult than Eddie’s record lift by using a power bar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes right along with those 1400lb suited bench presses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
