Jón Páll vs Capes: 1983 Part 1/2 (Deadlift)

[slickjan88]

893 pounds.....300 pounds more than hes ever deadlifted??? where the hell did the announcer pull that fact from? haha

[pooliothefoolio]

@slickjan88 before strongman geoff wass not a powerlifer he was a shot put champ so its amazing he done this and if you watch the whole episode of 83 wsm geoff himself says it was 300 more than he ever deadlifted

[maxthehulk]

tom magee is the strongest

[tubaSHANK]

If it would be easier why was Tom the only one that did it?

[tubaSHANK]

It's actually harder the more the bar bends takes longer to lift the weight off the ground instead of right away with a stiff bar.

[slickjan88]

@tubaSHANK its easier the more the bar bends because that means you are lifting the full weight until you are much closer to lockout than you would be with a rigid bar

[tubaSHANK]

You put 1180 lbs on any bar it's going to bend

[2313igbill]

deadliftin' cheese LOL

[DaveWBedford]

Thanks for uploading! I was surprised to see these here, it's been a long time.

[OoShinkooO]

If they fixed the bar from bending so much, a few more would have passed the higher marks...

[jediknight69]

@OoShinkooO

actually by the bar bending, it actually distributes the load more, making it easier to deadlift, a bar that wouldnt bend would require them to deadlift all of the weight off the start, whereas when the bar bends there never deadlifting all of the weight until it is completely off the ground and by that point they are at a much stronger advantage lever wise. stiff bars are much much harder to deadlift

[Vazcular]

Those are only half deadlifts.

[pasztecik08]

2:21  POWERRRRRRRRRRR

[PrimeM92]

hahahaha! Some of them are pretty funny, especially Tom Magee, growling like a bear grrrrrrrrrr "gotta have it! get on!" PMSL! If he got into a fight with a gorilla, I'd feel sorry for the gorilla.

[hazellovescraig]

that is totally amazing cant believe tom mcghee managed to deadlift that weight even 10kg more than jon paul 4 nad a half times his own bodyweight that would be me deadlifting 9 times my own body weight cause im'e a liitle guy lol lol

[asmundurr]

[pusskins]

"my dads stronger than geoff capes"

[1batistap]

[4inches4u]

[ThePurple0range]

lmao, i love the commentator on this "I'll explain how he got his left shoulder up. *guy shrugs his shoulder*. Just like that"

[Apjooz]

19 rounds? That's madness.

[Terminator860]

lol i never realised cheddar was so heavy!

[Feon2]

@Terminator860 I bet this cheese could kill someone if you throw it on someone's head lol

[disgruntledredneck]

i want to deadlift cheese.......then eat it

[HACHETHARRY95]

cheese???? they are deadlifting cheese?

[Guitarist008]

[turkeybonger]

lol they always DL something stupid in old wsm.

[Mattyboyzie]

@turkeybonger like cheese or sawdust LMAO

[violator198666]

i had only seen tom magee wrestle and i thought he was the most dreadful wrestler ever.....(he just couldn't wrestle at all)

but now i've seen this and i can definately see why he was scouted by the wrestling guys. that may be one of the most insane things i have ever seen! 1180 lbs.......

i will never say another bad thing about tom magee.

[MFCBastion]

Haha Jon Pall's face before he lifts; looks like he's praying to Odin.

[gingerykid454]

Tom Magee is the man

[cdeavellar1]

dam. i thought bill kazmaer was the man when he did 1055 lbs. but that is jusy awesome

[disgruntledredneck]

lol yeah but kaz didnt even look phased by it

[tubaSHANK]

Magee locks out on 1180!!!!!!!

[Matt8xx]

Bring back the mutton chops to strongman!

[Gaur1983]

Compared to deadlifts ,in powerlifting competitions ,here they are using straps and not locking the weight at the top of the movement.

[violator198666]

apparently not...

[roboboytoy]

siem wulfse lives near me..he s old and fat now..but still big.

when you ow money from some one but didn't get it..you can rent him.he did that kind of work back in the days..he also broke bikes by bending them around his back on the lokal carnaval

bad boy that siem wulfse but awsome guy

[willyrobinson]

4.5 times his own bodyweight WTF!

[rctriplefresh5]

i doubt thats 4.5 times hes probably like 350 pounds. lois.

[Feon2]

@rctriplefresh5 lol, he was "just" 285

[afteq]

they must do their backs in

[newtonwarriors]

i hate cheese.

[tubaSHANK]

Tom Magee should've been the lead character Joe Huff in the movie Stone Cold instead of Bosworthless! Magee kind of reminds me of a big Joe Namath.

[JD1985]

Simon Wulfse has an awesome last name and awesome hair.

[IRONGC]

simon wulfse looks like the X-man guy

[jpriddy123]

hahahahaha yea the sabertooth

[willyrobinson]

what more needs to be said. JD my man you're every word is worth a thousand pictures.

[Bemani420]

"There is no point in being alive, if you cannot do the deadlift"

[Bemani420]

Say CHEESE!!!!

[tubaSHANK]

Where have you seen him have a movie I want him to be in titled "Roadrunner" based in the 70's about a Moonshine runner!

[tubaSHANK]

It sounds like he pushes his body to the extreme and is smart in getting it in the right condition to accomplish his next immortal feet so far he's deadlifted then any world strong man climbed the countries highest mountains. Wouldn't be surprised if he gives the WSM another try.

[jagmany]

have you seen tom magee lately.he is about 150 lbs and is into long distant running.you would not notice him if you seen him.

[Raysick]

The guy from the bible

[vanisljoe]

[rayskurk]

Tom Magee is Samson!

[Hughstor]

Tom Magee has incredible shoulders.

[rayskurk]

Tom Magee holds the Deadlift record 1,179lbs

[Beyondward]
