815lbs raw deadlift

[MrJenman83]

do all these guys really have nothing better to do than come on here and insult someone? It was a good lift and would have been verified in a powerlifting or strongman competition as that. Straps or no straps this is extremely heavy, most people use straps for their 1rm deadlift that includes in competition. I think its nuts he did it without a belt, that shows very good muscle control and strength in his lower back.

[tacticaloperator12]

That's not the point, I weigh 173 and could probably DL 505x1 but I won't.. because I know my form will suck. Your form is fucked and you know it, just lighten up the bar and leave the ego outside the weightroom.

[DragTheWaters5]

@tacticaloperator12 "Leave the ego outside the weight room" Are you fucking kidding me? Incase you didn't notice, he trains as A STRONGMAN. In strongman, you can hitch the bar, but I am sure he appreciates your advice, maybe one day he'll be as strong as you! Oh wait.....

[BlackPhilosopher]

You r strong but this is not a powerlifting deadlift. In any federation you would get 3 red for using knee\leg support. (my best was 605 lbs in 200 lbs category - old school IPF)

Anyway - congrats you have guts )

[Dalanie00666]

straps aren't raw bud.

[okmsfootball81]

@Dalanie00666 The wraps he is using is simply to hold the bar... It has been a HUGE argument in every power lifting federation. THEY DO NOT HELP YOU LIFT MORE WEIGHT anyone that says that is just plain retarded. It allows you to pull the weight you can ACTUALLY pull and not limited to what your grip or hands can hold. A human hand can only hold some much weight.

[GoodLifeGodLike]

Damn nice job bro!

[anthuma1986]

L2 deadlift tardwagon

[yfz450rider39]

This is a perfect example of why I'll always be a bodybuilder and not a power lifter! Lift the weights right, don't just lift them! There is a difference!

[yfz450rider39]

Starski your a goof. Im a trainer and have been for three years. In school for kinesiology. No way could I lift near that. But I can do 405 at 180lbs at 10% bf with wayyyy better form than that! Theres no way you can say that is good form! He got 800lbs up sure, that's alot I'll give him that! But work on pulling the weight right! Drop a hundred pounds and do it right! That was ugly as fuck

[samson123450]

Straps or no straps and regardless of if it was a perfect contest lift. Hauling over 800 is very impressive by anyone's standards. Its a gym lift, I don't think he owes anyone any explanation. They use straps in strong man DL all the time. Anyone going to call out Magnus, Hugo G, or Pudz?

[pbplyr51]

but holly shit. without a belt?? very impressive despite the hitch

[pbplyr51]

HITCHED!

Fail in competition

[avoidsroids]

Great job, impressive pull. I have been USAPL,APF, USPA for the last 12 years, dont entertain these internet idiots. Keep up the good work.

[mattycooper4]

fat cunt deadlift

[SmexyPC]

@mattycooper4 what does fat have to do with anything? fat does not deadlift 815lbs. Dumbfuck. Weak cunt jackass

[Bm613]

@SmexyPC shut up you cunt your probably as fat at this fuck you useless cunt

[Bm613]

@mattycooper4 what a fat cunt

[mattycooper4]

@Bm613 hahaha big d

[Bm613]

@mattycooper4 sibbi sabbi

[mattycooper4]

@Bm613 druggsssss

[poznanski666]

even if his back did bend hes a relatively large guy and has enough hip strength something called sumo

[yfz450rider39]

I'm going to say it again, cause Hoboken is just plain stupid! Worst form possible. Just plain ugly!!!!!!

[starski8888]

@yfz450rider39 Worst form possible???? Have you ever lifted a weight in your life....Dude just straight dead-lifted 815lbs!!!!!!! By the sounds of your stupid comment I would guess that you couldn't even take the weights off the bar and put them back on the rack!!!!

Good job John! Don't listen to the clowns Bro!

[danthemanzizle]

i do ten reps of 140 woohoo!

[yfz450rider39]

worst form possible

[TheHobokenjames]

@yfz450rider39 how dumb are you??? apparently VERY

[lickbuter]

you hitched the shit out of that....

[thedude2979]

Perfectly legal in strongman competition.

[Emmanuel5005]

Dont lift like that anymore. You will get back problems. Just a tip that you probably already know. But im still giving credit where its do! Good Job.

[swanchops]

That's "No Lift". No federation would white light that lift. That said, any guy who can get the bar a foot off the floor should own that weight with a few more weeks of training. Straps are good for gym lifts on worn out bars. Competition bars with chalk are a powerlifters friend. I'm sure this guys grip is fine.

[oneloveyalls]

spit it out chubby how many liters of juice to you inject yourself with

[cracker619420]

hey strongmanjohn....how tall are you? and are your parents related to each other? cuz you look hella fuckin inbred bro.....

[jnbodybuilding]

even tho this guy is clearly not natural this is a very good lift

[Brownzz07]

Can you actually lift this kind of weight with no straps? If you can thats fucking impressive grip strength, not to mention the lift itself, seriously heavy, great work man

[wingknot]

what are straps?? im new to bodybuilding D:

[yurmam978]

@wingknot wrist straps incase your grip gives out. Your forearms tend to give before the rest of your body

[freak51]

good job all the people talking about staps lol, 815 lbs is 815 lbs

[TheKlaj1992]

fuck it straps belts what ever 815!!! lbs guys i cant put money on it that none of you watching this could do that!

[xAxBeVaNxBx]

Your intestines are going to spill out of your ass like Wonton Soup.

[XowntXihqX]

belt is not only allowed but recommended in raw lifting.

[BigJackLifting]

Great strength but am I right in saying it wouldn't get 3 whites at a meet? looks like you ramped/hitched it up quite a bit. Could be wrong but fantastic strength nonetheless, ignore the dipshits talking about whether it's raw or not raw who gives a shit in training.

[Yaazify]

One way ticket to snap city.

[VANGISTEREN]

@Yaazify I was about to say that, than I saw your comment.

[Yaazify]

@VANGISTEREN Haha TMW are everywhere these days, arn't they?

[diamondthundergold]

he shit his pants

[lesarge01]

It is not raw, but shit, no belt......still badass

[363498]

Would have been red lighted for hitching

[Ledo10111111111]

Are you fucking kidding me? You pussies are bitching about form? I want to see you deadlift 815 lbs with STRICT form. Fucking losers, talking as if they know everything about working out. I'd be surprised if one of you fuckers could even dead lift 300 lbs. And he has straps oh big whoop. Grow the fuck up.

[losierbmp5]

damn did the bar is flex? or its overweight XD

[SmexyPC]

@MobbinU so what if he has fat on him? the fuck? only losers like u would say something like that. last time i checked, fat does not deadlift 815lbs. jackass.

[rockbodysolid]

thumbs up, if you think thats his bodyweight

[evreyday123456789]

@MobbinU his a power lifter all power lifters have a belly lol

[HXCpr0n]

man the haters are so funny... You guys won't even be touching 600, forget 815 lol

[Cobrakay2003]

Good form bro roflroflroflrofl

[daveharr23]

Nice weight to lift, and no problem looking 'fat' if you're lifting big weight...but using straps is not lifting raw.

[RandomStevie]

Yep, I remember my first 815lb deadlift.

[thelastanubis]

Pulling that much weight is impressive but hitching is illegal in most sanctioned meets.

[breamb0y]

@thelastanubis hes strongman john, strongman lift its fine

[thelastanubis]

@breamb0y Oh my bad, didn't know he was strongman. Sorry! 

[Boingboing5000]

fuck yeah bro

[EvanPwnsYou]

awesome man!

[KanyeTroll]

WHAT A WEAKLING. THOSE "WEIGHTS" ARE PLASTIC AND PROBABLY WEIGH LIKE 1 POUND EACH. AND THE BAR IS SO CHEAP THAT IT EVEN BENDS WHEN HE LIFTS IT.

[whydontyougetoutofmy]

@KanyeTroll -.-

[xcislife94]

doesn't mean no straps?

[rgibson182]

im 175lb and i can deadlift 405. i only do deadlifts a few times a month so i dont find this impressive. if it was RAW i would, but your wearing straps. there is a guy at every gym that is big enough to lift 800 without working that hard.

[sdfefde]

@rgibson182 not sure if troll , or retarded

[ccetdany]

"Ran out of chalk so i had to strap up." --> then it ain't raw

[ralphM1114]

@ccetdany he still lifted 815 lbs. fuck you

[strongmanjohn]

@ccetdany Since it is a gym bar with no knurling, I would love to see anyone pull 815 on it without chalk! My grip is not an issue, I have pulled 845 on a good bar without problems, hell I’ve lifted 500lbs a hand farmers. Secondly I can’t believe the fact I did this WITHOUIT a BELT is being overlooked by straps but then again it takes a strong person to recognize the difference.

[Zylen92]

@strongmanjohn although you took some help from your legs for the first phase, that was great and i mean it. lifting 815 pounds without belt is something to be proud of. You must have very strong core muscles. Keep up the good work man. By the way if you dont mind me asking is there anything else you do for your core muscles aside from deadlifts and squats?

[MrJervilla]

@strongmanjohn hey man not trying to be a dick or anything, just curiousity. Does having extra bodyfat help in strongman? Or do u think being in better shape would be better? I know eating a lot is key so is that why?

[azn182]

@strongmanjohn you a linemen?

[TockCease]

@strongmanjohn Don't worry about what the jackass says. He's just pissy because he breaks a sweat getting the 2 liter of soda from the fridge.

[kokoriko999]

@strongmanjohn That was some titan weight you've lifted there...well done

[fuerer24]

@strongmanjohn It's impressive but as soon as you do a double movement it isn't a deadlift.

[HX3100]

@strongmanjohn good job john thats still fucking crazy that guy probly doesnt even lift

[jnbodybuilding]

@strongmanjohn doesnt count if your on juice

[RebelWrestler45]

@ccetdany Raw means without a deadlift suit; virtually all strongman style deadlifts are done with straps in competition, and hitches are legal as well. He also did this without a freaking belt.

[hungmg]

@ccetdany faggot, let's see you post a video deadlift 815 lbs, matter fact, just 500 would do you good.

[skycash02]

@ccetdany I like the way you no video pencil dick fucks talk shit when you can't lift 60 lbs just play your video games and shut the fuck up.

[xAKxDman360]

@ccetdany Am I the only one that seen that comment sexually??? O.o

[doogims]

@ccetdany and you god sir are a hater haha

[bernadiusmaximus]

@ccetdany wow you must really be a bad ass for telling someone that, here your complaining about his fucking grip but the guy is lifting with no belt, why dont you go complain to your mom that there isnt enough fucking crust on your bread, like I am baffled about how much of a prick you are, idc who you are, this guy did some beast lift and your looking for anything to complain about, I bet if he didnt use straps, you would be mad cuz his shoes aren't red...fuck off

-love bernard <3

[BigB2Gig]

@ccetdany Hey, I don't see any videos of you lifting weights. Your probably weak. GTFO troll

[zhiraxx80]

fail, but strong anyway

[HintonburgRep]

I THOUGHT I WAS BAD ASS WHEN I BENCHED TWO FIFTY ONCE , LOL

[Viriatus]

fail

[dylan6480]

not proper form but pretty fucking impressive, REMEMBER quality over quantity always wins

[VOODOOMAAAAAN]

@dylan6480 He's a strongman, there are no powerlifting rules in strongman.

[dylan6480]

@VOODOOMAAAAAN didnt say there was mate.

[therockana]

not to disrespect or anything... but using straps is not considered raw... and you hitched the weight.... but then yeah, maybe you're just practising for strongman deadlift.... good job though... that's a lot of weight over there.....

[CaptainWho92]

if in a regular competition, that would be a failed lift

[diwr]

@CaptainWho92

of course, but at 815lbs who flippin cares!

[achmedda3rd]

"WOWOWOWOWOWOWSA" (in borats voice)...

[Roundline]

Alot of weight

[Undyingwhisper]

Don't misrepresent us bodybuilders with that shit. 

[fireknifer808]

i agree with you all...might as well powerlift when you're too fat to bodybuild, even when it's via the crossgay route.

[hjejmnse1]

@fireknifer808 Scrawny fuck, I can deadlift more than you and Im 14, Mr. Internet warrior lmao

[yomamma559]

I don't care how his form is that's still some awesome strength.

[MICHFAN55]

Nice weight, AWFUL form.

[zalko70]

Strong prick, however you still look like a bloated piece of shit. Ever thought about going for a run you meathead , I do crossfit and look awesome.

[G08208]

@zalko70 lol cross fit. You're the guys that think those flappy things are the same as pull ups arent you?

[ISRAELKING100]

@G08208 ignore the egotripper, in his comment he just exposed the whole personality of gay-fit and besides this guy in the vid might not have an very corrrect form, though i bet he could do 300kg easily and correct and he squeeze out a gay-fitter with only 2fingers

[DragonXhesiAlbania]

@zalko70 loool crossfit you guys are wackos

[nikomartinez111]

lol..the kid  in the back that walks in is mezmerized haha...hes thinking "holy shit look at all that weight that guys doing"

[amazedd1]

is this heavy??? cause at my gym yesterday i did 1200.... he's weak AF

[suroorsulthan]

very strong

[geko6]

lmfao at the guy walking in @ 0:16

[grafixmad1]

BEAST!!!!!!!!!

[jensokk]

"Great technique"

[huntergg10]

His back is prob broken now

[magicapricot]

@huntergg10 haha nope!

[ChocolateWarship90]

Damn nature, you scary

[dfencerocks]

thats not raw

[chrisfentress13]

@dfencerocks raw is when u can use weight belts and straps, but no lifting suits

[dfencerocks]

@chrisfentress13 you are completely wrong.

[chrisfentress13]

@dfencerocks ohh am i.......how about you look it up every website stay u can use belts and straps as a raw lift 

[steriods4champions]

@dfencerocks no, he's right. raw means no suit. nothing he's using has any effect on pulling heavier weight. except the belt, but in raw powerlifting comps belts are allowed.

[dfencerocks]

@steriods4champions yeah of course you can use belts and knee wraps in raw, but not lifting straps or suits. lifting straps assist in pulling the weight.

[steriods4champions]

@dfencerocks yeah, that's true. they don't allow you to use them.

[Discbailsshot]

@dfencerocks So that means he isnt completely wrong, you are just as wrong as he was.

lol.

[dfencerocks]

@Discbailsshot i think you meant to send this to steroids because i didnt change my story from the beginning.

[SuperBaconator69]

You are strong but that wa snot a raw deadlift, you know that bro. ran out of chalk so you used straps.....negro please

[MrJervilla]

@SuperBaconator69 lol raw means with out a suit, not without straps dumb shit.

[TheUnholyPosole]

Aww that didnt count, you cant catch it on your legs and hop it up like that, and you cant wear wrist wraps. But I bet you could do 770ish pretty clean, and that sir is still 115lbs more than i can do, so mad props bro. Keep it heavy.

[InferiorThanYou]

Wait, wrist straps are not raw. - Presses dislike -. No, I won't do that shit.

[MrJervilla]

@InferiorThanYou yes dumb shit, wrist wraps are raw. if ull look it up raw means without a suit and he clearly isnt wearing one.

[InferiorThanYou]

@MrJervilla So you're eating top ramen? Hmm...

[MrJervilla]

@InferiorThanYou what? lol

[TheBlaurenson]

wow not even one skinny little winny bitch complaining about this guys form..very impressive no dislikes

[reeceyhigs]

POWERRR!!! insane lifting!

[eveyb679]

holy shit ur vawsome

[ETlittlemanbeast123]

thats good for having a bad form.

[IsraeliDefenda]

great, inspirational lift, john! i think it's time your gym invest in some 100 lb plates, though haha

[slimbw93]

u know your badass when you have to tape more weights on the bar because they wont fit

[serbakovmarci]

now that's a strong guy!

[OiAbA]

congratulations you can write essays on youtube, really enriching you as a person.....

[BearsFan705]

wrist wraps doesn't = raw, but still, nice work bromigo

[VILEHOG]

Not even wearing a belt. 100% RAW

[Dmitriy939]

незачёт!

[fogonabomba2]

FAT ASS !!!

[DeusUniversa10]

@fogonabomba2: KEYBOARD WARRIOR BITCH!

[slasher9105]

I pull about half that much.. You are a genetic fiend, fucking strong. I was just wondering if that lift would count at a competition because it was not all lifted in one motion. Thanks, G.

[Kranen5]

hes a strongman, it would count in those competitions.

[TungstenLion]

Strong lift, man..

[casinonman]

Your a dooshbag. First he competes in strongman, 2nd your a dooshbag again, 3rd shutup unless you can even pickup 800lbs off the floor. And to reinerate he competes in strongman.

[glueissticky00]

its called hitching fuck bag go kill yourself.

yes as a single person you hope he breaks his back as all the commenters we hope you die.

[TirumphantAce]

That is a very apt statement... or rather it WOULD have been if he was a powerlifter. He's not. He's a strongman. Hitching is accepted in strongman. Apparently THINKING before you type something isn't accepted where you are from. To take good quote from Tommy Boy... did you eat paint chips when you were a kid? And besides that, how much do YOU deadlift? The bar? You are nothing but an ill-mannered piddler of falderal and stupidity. I cannot express how offensive your very existence is to me.

[amarone1956]

@TirumphantAce The word is spelled 'folderol.' Did it occur to you that the person writing didn't know that he's not a powerlifter?

[TirumphantAce]

@amarone1956 It did, but my response was in direct relation to his general lack of respect for a person that is many dozens of times stronger than he will ever be, who is further more a good athlete that recovered from a crippling brush with infection. Before dropping the f-bomb and calling someone a disgrace they should have the good decency to actually see if what they are saying is even relevant. After all, how did I figure out that he's a strongman? Maybe cause its IN HIS CHANNEL NAME!

[MichaelnChristine]

@TirumphantAce Wow....that is all.

[JeffSims009]

@TirumphantAce "piddler of falderal". What a pretentious cunt.

[TirumphantAce]

@JeffSims009 Did you have to use a thesaurus to find that big three syllable word? A struggling philosophy major. Does that mean you struggle with your course work and making yourself strong in body as well as mind? Probably both. Go do some preachers curls with 120 lbs, fool.

[JeffSims009]

@TirumphantAce lmao! He actually goes around researching youtubers in order to find ways to insult them.

What a pathetic piece of trash!

[TirumphantAce]

@JeffSims009 The only thing that is "pathetic" is the fact that you felt the need to respond to me when i am clearly right, you are clearly wrong, and when you consider "research" to be taking all of thirty seconds to click on your channel name. That is both pathetic and stupid. You are a vapid jackass. 

[JeffSims009]

@TirumphantAce What a pretentious cunt.

[fr3shascanb3]

@TirumphantAce damn you went balls out on that one

[googleTHT]

@TirumphantAce Then to avoid critique on his form on powerlifting movements he might as well post videos of his strongman feats and everybodys happy

[DreadfulControversy]

@TirumphantAce Oh snap, look who has the highest rated comment! LMAO
