  • I think it's ironic that so many people posting comments about how Derak's way of deadlifting is safe and that safety and form changes as one gets "stronger" in order to adapt. Well I think that this is untrue. I have learnt that there is a set of rules outlining proper form and how following these rules will prevent injury especially LOWER BACK INJURY. We learn that the spine can only handle so many curved bends before injury.

  • Comment removed

  • And maybe he should take peoples advice since he ran into back injury --> a rupture of his intervertebral disc between his L4 and L5. No surprise to me, and it will probably happen again... It is possible to lift this weight PROPERLY

    Always ask questions and look at the research. We cannot dream up the rules of fitness.

  • Check out anything by Pavel Tsatsouline, former Soviet Special Forces physical training instructor and has trained personnel from the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, the National Nuclear Security Administration / U.S. Department of Energy, and the US Secret Service... enjoy!

  • that's a strong man deadlift... different from any other deadlift... don't compare them

  • it was a great partial. would be nice to see it done properly though. That would not pass in the organization I lift with.

  • @arnodyck lol no one in your organization can even sniff 855

  • @getatme120 Agreed, he is from Canada.

  • @getatme120 Agreed, he is from Canada.

  • fake....maybe

  • @stillrob420 fake, its derek poundstone come on

  • In a competition it would be up to the judges on the day to count that as a good lift. I think it is amazing. This guy is so strong and in such condition it is hard to get my head round what he can do! Inspiring stuff.

  • Does nobody get that WSM form is a lot looser than IPF form?

  • i bet derek poundstone is happy that he has all these people giving him advice on how to lift! he surely needs it from all you other little faggots who have clearly won more worlds strongest man competitions than him

  • @TapoutTanK52 He has never won WSM competition

  • oh he's resting it on his thighs, his form is off, he's using straps. Shut the fuck up! It's 855 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • fools that are critiquing his form and what not and how he uses his knees to "support" the bar obviously have no idea that it's a technique used by men who participate in the world's strongest man event. and everybody uses some sort of assistance gear at this kind of weight, so check your facts before you post.

  • @jamesflames75 Definately friend. Everyone has different leverage points and an overall different build. No two people are alike; so why should we all deadlift the exact same? This idea holds true for other lifts as well. I train for strongman myself and I train alongside competitive bodybuilders, competitive powerlifters and competitive strongmen. I get to witness how everybody varies from one another with their respective sport as well as their builds.

  • He's resting the bar on his thighs and the straps make it pretty "unofficial". Still, it's super heavy weight!

  • @VersionCookie2000 People deadlift 200lbs with straps, you wanna tell me you can grip a 855lb bar and dealift it no straps? fucking twat

  • @o0OISKY0o Causes for disqualification of a deadlift: Supporting the bar on the thighs during the performance of the lift. 'Supporting’ is defined as a body position adopted by the lifter that could not be maintained without the counterbalance of the weight being lifted.

    Lifting straps – are a training aid that assist in removing grip strength as a limitation. Used inappropriately, they can prevent the development of improved grip strength. – Rippertoe

  • @VersionCookie2000 actually supporting the bar on your legs is called hitching and its legal in strongman, and his grip is ridiculous.

  • @o0OISKY0o I guess you never heard of benedikt, he dident use straps with a 1015 Dead

  • Awesome.

  • he natty???

  • That's really strong, no one should be telling Poundstone how to lift. I like how he has no shoes on, that's the best way to do deadlifts. No shoes means you're closing to the ground therefore the bar doesn't have to travel as far. Really great lift, I wish I could deadlift half as much as Poundstone does.

  • @aceyy9

    An eighth of an inch isn't going to make a difference.

    Why I think it's better is because there's no 'play'. Instead of being on something cushy, you're planted solid. Could crack your heel, though I guess.

  • show me someone lifting this much with perfect form and i will tip my hat to you sir

  • Beast!!! One of my idols! I'd be super pumped with a 700lb pull. My current best is 605lb.

  • Great lift.

  • Comment removed

  • It seems that platform he is lifting on is raised in relation to the plates. (Looks to be about an inch.) That means he has to go down lower to grasp the bar and it makes it a significantly more difficult lift. It's a very impressive lift.

  • @LaszloBencze He's lifting on the exact same platform. He too is 1 inch higher than the ground.

  • Yeah all you guys must be correct, since his form wasn't impeccable the lift was pointless and did nothing...Fucking dumb-asses. It's a damn good thing all the geniuses of the world are located behind a laptop. I would love to see any of you walk up to Poundstone in the gym and correct his form.

  • @TeenyTiny945 It's called hitching you muppet and he's a pro strongman not a powerlifter.

  • fuck bad form or good from it is still 855 i bet anyone who commented on here wouldnt even be able to move it

  • Hay derek do u take your shoes off for that. I saw some Sitting on the ground.

  • to all the retards advicing proper form please put a video response of yourself executing a proper deadlift while lifting serious weight. otherwise stfu. you bitches just MIRIN BIG. U MAD? Come at me bro.

  • He needs a longer bar.

  • Whats with the wrist straps?

  • i bet if he was doing lighter his form would picture perfect, when anyone trys to go for PRs or for 1 rep max normally form gets sacrificed a little.

    and yeh all these idiots telling this guy how to lift, what a joke

  • Very risky form...

  • People need to understand "form" is irrelevant when you get to this stage of lifting. Form is basically a guide on how to lift the weight so you wont get hurt. Guys like Poundstone have altered the form to their body type over the years of their training. Form is essentially a "suggestion" on how to lift the weight. You truly master the technique when you understand your biomechanics applied to the lift. Form will always vary from individual to individual.

  • @AmusingYeti Are you an oak-aged Yeti?

  • @AmusingYeti i'd say technique is important no matter at what stage you are in. hey i'm not telling derek how to deadlift, i'm sure he knows how.

  • @AmusingYeti yes i totaly agree! pluss derek have like 200 pounds of muscle around his spine

  • I feel like a big pile of terds. I was proud of myself for rack pulling 725 today, and I struggled with it more than he did with a full 855 deadlift.....I gotta eat/lift more.....

    Poundstone is the man though, no denying that....

  • wow he's so much stronger now

  • damnn beast lift, have these people commenting can't dead lift half the weight...

  • There was a HITCH in your get along...still strong but you hitched it...you know it, I know it the whole World knows it....

  • you, Juggernaut

  • Man hes strong

  • This lift would have gotten a 3 red lights, massive hitch. <---- Constructive critisism, no hate.

  • @DudeThatsSic oooohhh, the constructive critisism, the alternative name for hating...

  • @skata123456789456123 How is that an "alternative name for hating" I could have said "nice hitching faggot", but I didn't did I? I respectfully critiqued his lift.

  • @DudeThatsSic you have no right to critique his lift cause your probably a pussy and incase you didn't know poundstone in a strongman and is way stronger than any powerlifter so shut up and go get some fat friend to put on your triple ply deadlift suit you pansy

  • strong!

  • Nice work

  • Gotta love how the weights so heavy it actually bends the bar...

  • @420Vali Always remember: If the bar ain't bendin' you're just pretendin'.

  • POWER!!!!!!!

  • dont locked out

  • lol at the retards telling derak poundstone how to deadlift

  • @videodestroyer1000 i know right lmao btw its derek

  • The truth is, if you wanna be strong, you cant do it without getting injured a little bit.. If we keep thinking about injuries noone will race cars or push human limits and if all of you cannot respect that....Than shut the fuck up!

  • Hey dumbasses who are hating, i wanna see you guys post a video of lifting more than 800lbs. At least 3 inches off the ground, i bet you guys aren't capable of lifting that much. This guys is one fucking beast!!

  • Shut up about the negative comments!!! Can't you guys see that 855 pounds were lifted??

  • Amazing simply amazing as I watch this I wonder how man injuries this man has had, simply amazing, how much is he eating, is it genetics, works, simply amazing.

  • @tclokes yes, it is genetics and he eats around eight thousand calories a day.

  • fataslin. stop suckin the cock

  • @MrChrisheinz its the fuckin truth man.

  • In strongman that actually is the opposite of what you need to do. You're allowed to hitch on deadlifts as long as you get the weight up. He's not a powerlifter, he's a strongman, the rules are different.

  • @Ludichris8531 he was a powerlifter before he started strongman.

  • Uh, what does that have to do with anything? Do you even understand what my comment was in response to?

  • @Ludichris8531 uh uh uh it has to do with your commentary

  • Uh uh uh, re-read my commentary. He's not a powerlifter, he's a strongman. Thus, it does not matter whether or not he hitches or uses straps because you're allowed to use them in strongman. It ALSO does not matter that he USED to be a powerlifter, because he is not one now and how he trains NOW has nothing to do with that he used to do.  So I'll ask you again, what did your comment have to do with anything? What was the point you were trying to get across in response to my comment?

  • @Ludichris8531 It does matter that he used to be a powerlifter because it helped him as a base to get to the level he's at now in strongman. Lighten up cupcake.

  • Huh? That has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with my comment. My comment was regarding his form and use of straps. Someone complained that he used a hitch and straps to get the weight up and I simply explained that you're allowed to do that in strongman. How he developed his base of strength has nothing to do with this discussion.

  • @Ludichris8531 True story

  • Comment removed

  • horrible form

  • @BoomStickDeckCadet How about you post a vid of you doing half that weight in good form! Otherwise keep your stupid comments to yourself.

  • Don't be butthurt at my comments, that guy shouldn't call that "thing" deadlifting. No one's saying he's weak, but that's not deadlifting.

    By the way, my video doing with half that weight will be posted when I get my cam, ok ?

    Regards

  • Please do post, i understand where your coming from, but lets be honest here. That is a tremendous amount of weight and very few can lift that. At least give the guy some credit. Sure its sloppy but he got it up.

    Peace

  • @socratesRAM the form should be the most important thing, if you didnt do it with correct form, you didnt lift the weight

  • yes that is true, in powerlifting, but in strongman it doesnt matter what form, if you lift it up its a good lift, no matter what it takes

  • Raw Power, and makes everything go up in weight.

  • I wish I could do that! I'd spend all day lifting up small cars, just for the lulz

  • Comment removed

  • My grandma bench more.

  • he's wearing a inzer dl suit.

  • Derek im 15 and am currently getting back on to a powerlifting  cycle my best lifts at 175 are 355 deadlift 315 squat and a 215 paused bench is that good or bad? any tips would be needed thanks

  • i got a good tip for ya stay in school

  • he is 15. at that time you COULDN'T lift that much, so shut the fuck up..

  • your right i have met you before you would now how much i lifted when i was fifteen how silly of me. are you his dad?

  • then you just show me a video of your lift.. and if you can't do that.. then shut up... skinny little dude playing his computer...

  • that is pretty good...at 175 i knew a guy that could bench 275 sooo...but, he was a BEAST!

  • that is pretty good for a guy at 15 years old :)

  • Well guys I'm 3 years old and 35 lbs and I can deadlift 905 raw, is that good for my age? I know most of you don't believe me, but it's true...

  • bars will be bent

  • weak bars will be bent

  • Man I just laugh at the losers on youtube.

    Over 800 pounds lifted.

    Doesn't matter about the straps or hitching, that's more than coleman does.

    I myself can only dream of lifting that much.

    And from such a small guy? WTF. DAMN strong.

  • no one is saying he's weak. They're saying a heavy weight lifted with good form is more impressive than one lifted with questionable form, and judges think so too.

    nice lift

  • coleman did 800 twice

  • yes, but this is 855. and WITHOUT a suit idiot...

  • he used a suit for the 800 double squat but all he had on was some tight pants and a tank for the deadlifts

  • okay, I can't remember, and it dosn't matter, cause both of them lift some heavy ass weigths nomatter what :D

  • haha yeah

  • you had a double over hand grip

    wtf, and you hitched

  • omfg, one word....AWESOME!!!

  • dude's a BEAST

  • is the lifter a Kiwi?

  • American

  • no, he's white as can be

  • i dont care how you do your deadlifts. just get the god damn weight up. if you hurt yourself because of bad form learn from your mistakes. why anyone here would tell a guy like poundstone how to lift is beyond me.

  • Amen to that man, that is one of the best comments on youtube, unless you can pull,press, or squat the weight shut the hell up.

  • @foottothroat21 you couldnt have said that any better man. i completely agree. probably 90% of the people who watch this videos just criticize on things they cant do themselves. only a few watch them to learn and appreciate.

  • @foottothroat21 but....he didn't actually get the weight up. Not considered a legal deadlift till the hips are locked.

  • what kind of straps do you use? i shrugged that much weight and ripped many straps

  • just be a man and dont use straps

  • hahaha okay you rep 855lbs at 190lbs with 7% body fat with no straps. its easy to type away, lol.

  • Comment removed

  • proper caveman style no shoes lol nice nice u r stong as f*ck

  • This guy is a monster!!! Great stuff!!

  • Poudstone

  • Is he wearing a power suit?

  • way to go man

  • XD true true he probily got a good 700 tho with lock out and no hitch still a bit impressive

  • Great, any advice for the rest of the WSM competitors while you're on your pulpit?

  • he is a strongman, not a powerlifter...strongman does not worry about form, all they care about is getting the weight up.

  • umm..dude...if u just lift like 855 pounds without doing it right then doing it right u can probly only lift like 800,and im sure he cares,,,

  • im sure he dont, the sport is strongman not powerlifting, notice he wears straps and he hitches the weight (which are two things not allowed in powerlifting). know what you are talking about before commenting.

  • he's doing a romanian grip not conventional so straps unavoidable...and he's a helluva lot stronger than your bozo ass, whatever your name is...

  • what a tool...

  • shut the fuck up about his form. he came in second in wsm. i think he knows how to deadlift dumbasses.

  • excellent lift!

  • even more this time, wow man.

  • er ikke det Lars Rørbakken?? Ligner sinnsykt

  • Comment removed

  • awesome such an athlete poundstone

  • he would of got redflagged for that! he hitched!

  • Not in strongman.

  • true! but you should always practice good form!

  • Practice how you play. If you're allowed to hitch in competition, practice it. Trust me, it's a technique. Strongman is about picking the weight up, that's it. Form is for powerlifters.

  • what if you play like shit? then you just never get better?

  • What jason meant was that obviously a strongman trains with strongman exercises and strongman techniques.. whats the point in training powerlifting if hes a strongman and vice versa?

    "what if u play like shit? then you just never get better" was really really retarded to say.. u obviously didnt get the point..

  • I agree 100 % great point

  • lbstone is the bomb, i watched ronnie coleman do a 800lb dead lift and say "i'd like to see anyone else do this". he needs to take a look at derek!

  • thats a good point, but maybe Coleman should take a look at Andy Bolton too

  • Great pull - 5 stars! Can't wait to see 900 bro...you'll be there soon enough if you can stay healthy. Great speed off the bottom - just need a little more power locking it out on the top.

    Incredible power either way!

  • wow great, that one u did at the super series was amazing as well !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • americans strongest man

  • Thats pretty amazing but he needs his hips "deeper" in the lift so he doesnt hurt his back.

  • great call, why don't you show us how to do it, string bean

  • Yea. He was more lifting it with his lower back then with the legs. A little bit too much I think. At lest when I compare lifts I have seen from most guys.

  • Amazing advice from a site with cliff jumping and other hare brained stunts...LOL.

  • shit im not hating. thats a huge lift no matter how you do it. you know you like the cliff jumping.

  • completely wrong, the number one mistake I see being made this days with the deadlift is people starting from too low a position. The deadlift is not a squat with the bar in front, the lifts are very different when performed.

  • hes one of the strongest men in the world so it dont really matter how he lifts it.

  • What the fuck are you talking about? He's not Finnish, so he's not going to fucking start in a RDL position.

    You're an idiot.

  • Are you retarded? You have no idea what you are talking about you fucking sped.

  • Obviously you're the dumbfuck if you don't know what an RDL is. Unless you pull round backed, which he doesn't, then you start with your ass in a low position for counter-balance and leg drive off the floor.

    If you start with your fucking ass in the air like Vince Anello or Ano Turtiainen, then it's going to be almost all back. Get your shit straight and read a physics book.

  • lol either way e still used his back.

  • Oh, so you don't use your back in the deadlift? Wow, that's funny... Looks like every pro I've ever worked with was wrong! How amusing!

    Fuck yourself.

  • you totally misconstrued my comment. my dl form is ALL back pretty much, i have shit deadlift form, i do everything but hitch and ramp.

  • lol, you little faggot. You've demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge of exercise physiology and biomechanics - all of which makes it impossible for you to have learnt anything from pros let alone work with them. Working out with your boyfriend to get your deadlift 1RM of 200lbs is not workin with pros you fuckstain faggot.

  • You have no goddamn clue who or what you're talking about. I was brought into the sport of powerlifting by one of the best 220's ever, Travis Mash. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

    Just because it's not the way people in Muscle and Fitness pull you fucking jackass doesn't mean people don't do it, and it doesn't mean it doesn't work. Like Louie Simmons once said- "I rounded back is a shorter back." I should know the biomechanics of it, I pull this way, you stupid fuck.

  • Just to prove you wrong, look at Ano Turtiainen versus Chuck Fought. Both consistant 800+ pullers. Ano literally pulls with almost all back, while Fought keeps an arched low back and uses more leg drive off the ground.

    So tell me Mr. I Know Every Goddamn Thing About Deadlifting- how is this possible if some of the best pullers in the world share the same philosophy I do, yet I just "demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge" about this subject?

    Exactly. Go fuck yourself.

  • lmao awesome

  • Fuckin' win

  • You tell those arrogant fools, Roshibear. Just yesterday I was telling Richard Dawkins that evolution is a lie and he wouldn't believe me! Pff, he thinks because he is an evolutionary biologist he knows more than me about evolution...
