my favorite deadlifter is still Bob Peoples :P

[Lokiwho]

Holy double-overhand that's impressive!

[TimGarciaXXL]

that is some impressive grip strength.

[amputatedgenitalsyey]

the world record is 1040 pounds i think

[serbakovmarci]

@amputatedgenitalsyey It's 1015 pounds, lifted by Benedikt Magnússon.

[amputatedgenitalsyey]

@serbakovmarci no

[serbakovmarci]

@amputatedgenitalsyey No? That was a long and sophisticated answer. So who lifted 1040 pounds?

[amputatedgenitalsyey]

@serbakovmarci it doesnt exist a sofisticated answer 4 nothing and is the same guy but 1100 pounds not 1015

[serbakovmarci]

@amputatedgenitalsyey That was a TYRE deadlift, not a standard deadlift. Not the same thing.

[amputatedgenitalsyey]

@serbakovmarci ut bits the same move that he has to do but if mariusz was many times wsm who knows if he could do it

[serbakovmarci]

@amputatedgenitalsyey The same motion, but with a much shorter range of motion.

[amputatedgenitalsyey]

@serbakovmarci u can compare the cm that are left wih time holding it

[alithorpe54]

looked like you were good for more. Damn strong! i like the hook grip also..I'm looking to pull around 620 at my next competition

[kingschnitz]

you ever had any lower lumbar problems layne?

any herniated disks ?

[TwoFourKingAce]

They shudda glued it to the floor n watched the building move lol

[TheTrueFortress]

Terrific lifting. To all the wanks who talk shit, get a life. Deadlifting over 600 pounds put a person in VERY elite company, ESPECIALLY when said individual is drug-free. Don't kid yourself. There are far too many assholes online opening their pieholes and tearing into other folks' accomplishments.

Layne, you're doing awesome. Keep at it. You are damn strong.

[amarone1956]

@TheTrueFortress It's "wankers" not "wanks"!

[TheTrueFortress]

@amarone1956

It's whatever I want it to be. Besides, you've never heard anyone use the term "wank"?! Crawl out from under that rock, fella.

Thanks for playing.

[blackvapour]

@TheTrueFortress He isn't drug free you gullible ass licking moron.

[TheTrueFortress]

@blackvapour

Pleasant fella, you are.

[smckenzie25]

Dude how the hell do you do that with no straps??

5 Stars!

[SLITTHROAT13]

and you made it look easy :)

[TheNaturalbb]

unbelievable Layne sick power!!

[tnubs]

i dont understand how i can put 550 and be a tiny little kid and ur 40lbs heavier and only pulling 100lbs more? props for a big lift tho

[biolayne]

@tnubs well I pulled 700 later that year so I dunno. I guess I'm just a bitch. Wake me up when you are ranked and do that in a meet. Best of luck

[gangabiss]

fuckin a

[DAN1ML]

made it look easy!

[Ggon25]

what is it that he breathes?

[yeagemk]

@Ggon25, i believe that is ammonia. It gives him an extra shot of adrenaline before a big lift.

[Oyvind21]

Just knowing that this is with a double overhand grip makes this so damnimpressive! That is strenght right there!

[reddogg11]

its a hook grip. like what olympic lifters use. the thumbs gripped inside the fingers. uncomfortable but a very strong grip once you're used to it.

[Oyvind21]

Oh I dont doubt it. ;)

[kamikazeslammer]

It looks like hook grip, not double overhand. I could be wrong though.

[arkham335]

he is wearing a singlet....gives him no help at al

[Apjooz]

Second lift wasn't locked out...

[5hruglife]

It says APA WR. I also have a mate that's a powerlifter and he deads more than this at 18y/o. This dude is a bodybuilder, light and tall though so I wouldn't expect him to dead much relative to a powerlifter.

[LatterDaySaintRWT]

What? this was a world record for this division. Thats strong in anyones book, jack...

[marijn1423]

Great work, but WR? I know a dude (natural) who lifts 300kg. whithout suit, belt or straps. That is more than this.

But it's a lot of weight :D

[biolayne]

it was a record in that particular organizations. in other organizations the record for 100kgs is higher. The highest i've seen is 705 raw, but I could be wrong. I never claimed to be the best deadlifter in the world

[Parkerni]

@biolayne

Awesome lift Layne. I hope to one day get 600 lbs at a weight of 200 lbs. Would be sweet!

[kwstas67]

@biolayne i think you are wrong:)Bob Peoples a farmer-pulling machine has pulled 725 at 181lbs bodyweight :O!that was back in 1950 lol!He used his own techique though.If i remember right he used deflated lungs and a hump back.There is still the pic on the net to prove it.It was done double overhand.How people get such strong grips to pull 650 like u with double overhand hook grip still amazes me let alone Bob lol :)

[stevstevd]

Agreed. Especially for 220 pounds. I know someone at 180 pounds on show day that can do at least 300kg (660lbs) raw.

[StuchWSU]

hey layne i don't know if you read these or not, but on your website it said this was a raw, meaning no suits? only belts and knee wraps, but it looks like you are wearing one? either way awesome lift, do they only allow suits to a certain layer?

[biolayne]

It's an Adidas wrestling singlet

[biolayne]

thanks everyone, it is actually a hook grip, not double overhand.

[tjmuller]

Awesome, overhand... impressive for sure!

[thebullfrog24]

hahaha the way he gets so hyped is hilarious but inspiring to. keep it up layne

[Bsnakes]

jesus, good work! no, GREAT work!

[envirocopy512]

nice layne, big ups

[Koreys666]

He does a double overhand grip on his deadlifts too

[Oyvind21]

Simply amazing, Layne.. Simply amazing. =)

[dcottuli]

Excellent effort Layne

[biolayne]

thanks for the video Danny!
