The only reason the strap broke was because he was using the strap to lift the weight. He doesn't have a strong grip. He is going rip his wrist or his arms.
Also, it's a good thing the bar only had a very short distance to fall. I know someone who tore their bicep when a strap burst on a deadlift. That looks like it coulda been bad.
the point of a deadlift? it works mostly lats, lower back, abs, glutes, hamstrings, and calves, ie the entire posterior chain. upper back to an extent too, i think
If he's at the gym... He's probably like: ehh fuck it, I feel like lifting about 900 then do some 600 on squats .... And he probably has to use all the weights in the gym
@jackson10491 i deadlift with 35's... looks more impressive! you ever see a 600 pound deadlift like that? 7 plates a side with a 25 a 5 and a 2.5. kidding
To whom it may concern: Some people are bitching about how its above the knee level.. Just FYI, in comparison. My max deadlift was 620 from the floor and my max rack deadlift at right knee level was 785 or 815, I dont remember.. but by that comparison. Im sure this fellow can deadlift 765 or above, which is HUGE power.
LOL to the dude saying his grandma could do this! The fact that it's from a rack does not make it any less impressive, and I'm sure he could do a crapload of weight from the floor.
I actually was startled when he dropped the weight and yelled out "whoah" - if anyone cares
dont worry derek dosent have any time to read comments on youtube, its work , weights food, woman ;D. sleep . derek is a modern viking lord or somthing.
a man in the gym where i train was doing a floor deadlift and his strap broke, if you see how quick he shoots to one side its pretty forcefull, well the guy in my gym broke a rib when his strap broke

that shall be dead lifts?
you are a joke, man!
for sure you can present bench pressing for us, where you move the weight 5 inches down and 5 inches up and the you fell you were a hero when you cn use a lot of weight.
i vote you just never post your shit on this or any video ever again. haha you got fucking owned on the whole point of him being a wsm competitor and you a fucking nobody behind a keyboard lmao man you got owned there. gtfo
You dumb fuck do you even know who that is? DEREK POUNDSTONE YOU LITTLE BITCH. He almost beat Mariusz Pud. in the WSM comp last year. Do some research before you talk shit on the internet little boy.
By the way you leave comments, I can only assume that your a 16 year old angry white boy. Now dont get me wrong theres nothing wrong with being a white, I'm white but there is something wrong when you comment on a video and end it by calling the guy a faggot. No mature person would do that. Only a 16 year old angry white boy.
Another thing you dont know shit about deadlifts b/c if you did you would know doing heavy rack deadlifts like he's doing in this video helps build up your strength for full reps. Why do you think people bench with boards to limit the rom to improve overall strength. But you wouldnt know any of this shit b/c your young and uninformed. Waits for OH YOUR A FAGGOT reply.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I work out, I know my shit.
The reason I insulted Derek Poundpenis is because he posted this video to brag about the weight (945 pounds). Then he does a two inch range of motion with it.
How about I post a video of me benching a shitload but not even going halfway down? You dont think people would insult my form?
Ps: I probably in better shape than you are, Home Depot.
If you think the guy who got 2nd in the WSM needs to brag to Youtube shit talkers like yourself well then your delusional b/c trust me YOUR NOT WORTH BRAGGING TO. Notice in the title it says RACK DEADLIFT...not just DEADLIFT. You say you workout but yet you dont know the different between RACK DEADLIFTING to improve the top part of the motion and just DEADLIFTING. Go back to Planet Fitness and pretend your big shit.
all i can say is, go to a gym, load up 945lbs and try and pull it from mid thigh like derek does, get back to us with some proof that you did it and then you'll be the first internet tough guy to actually walk your talk. you won't because you can't so stfu about shit you don't know in future. hope this helps...
His girl just posted a video of him handling 1050 in his bare hands, that's without straps. He's using straps here simple because he's training his back specifically, not his grip. Very smart training.
Very true... Grip is important especially with WSM but if you are working on it nearly every exercises, dl, cleans, pulls etc... your going to have problems/injuries eventually
lol you have a lot of problems with the equipment you use. first the straps, then the weights come off on the deadlift. you're too intense, you just break everything.
No better come backs than that? I'm ugly because you are weak. Sounds reasonable. I mean, the world is filled with balance. Idiot. My being Ugly, which I won't deny, has nothing to do with you're being weak. I can't do anything about being ugly. You can grow a pair and lift heavier weight, but you won't. Why? Because being strong is more than genetics, it's about having the balls to lift heavy shit day in and day out. Balls that you obviously don't have.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
K i guess thats cool, but in all honesty whats the point of being able to do that lift which is most definitely not a Olympic deadlift by any means don't even try to argue that u ignorant tools. I dont see where the strength translates into common use or advantage.
awesome power Derek -I seen you in Charlotte and know just how strong and conditioned you are - BEAST!! I plan on hitting some more NAS events in 2008 - I did 4 in 2007...my first year and best finish was 2nd -Not sure I will ever make Pro at 41YRS OLD :((
Derek is an outstanding strongman. He won every events but 2 at America's Strongest Man and his body is very impressive. He weighted 313.5 pounds at ASM !
dude that rack dead is high. i mean shifting that kind of weight ok respect cause not many can but there was barely any lift to it. Rack dead with the pins a couple inches below the knee. Then you'll be pulling maybe 700 odd
