Derek Poundstone loads the 555lb Stone 46.25 inches

[misft0z]

Do u think he could clean 500 pounds?

[kingcharelsyoung29]

Extreme Power 555lbs. I wonder if a olympic weightlifter can come close to lifting this amount weight

[highlyaggravated]

Derek is awesome but his wife is the REAL DEAL. Behind every successful man is REALLY REALLY supportive wife. Doubtful Derek would be as successful without his wife.  Luckily I ve got one of those too! Cheers to the happy couple!

[XenatR]

the faggots on the treadmills should stop and watch a legend in action.

[highlyaggravated]

@XenatR They just dont understand man!



[justinhasproblems1]

lesson dont mess with a man with the name poundstone

[CON141]

watch your toes

[bangbongbong]

OH MY GOD

[Feon2]

best stone lifter ever

[skirts365]

Big drop in blood pressure after ball is released---naturally so. Perhaps his most impressive feat to date.

[TheStrong1976]

@behindthelight99;he can bench 600 pounds raw,and you?

[2rich4ubud]

slater stones how do I get one of these stones or a mold or something to make a 220lb stone to shipped to Canada

[strenghfromwithinXXI]

LOL (do it again , what the hell? ) that was funnah!

[skirts365]

If he came to the WWE they'd have to STOP calling Mark Henry the world's strongest man. In OL lifting Reza snatched 98.61% of Henry's jerk then there's Bolton in England who deadlifted what, nearly 100 pounds more than Henry. Magnetic mattress, Mr. Poundstone? Photobiostimulation for ADP increase? Arginine? Apple polyphenols? Poundstone did have Pudz beat last time out, technique error only cost him the win in stone event. I'll still take the freak from Derby, England 17th century-Topham.

[lildrummerboy189]

I need to start traing with you guys!

Check out my videos! I'm just a small french fry compared to Derek, I wouldn't even compare us, he is my favorite strongman!

[skirts365]

Interesting secrets are behind the world's best lifters/athletes. As in super-nutrition being an invisible gas---oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen has restorative possibilities that may be beyond anything edible or injectible. Russians used electric stimulation of nervous system for improved strength, East German runners used to get "blood doping" treatments in which their own oxygen carrying cells were withdrawn & re-injected in high dose before event, allowing them to get the win more often.

[TheBzeroslasher]

still a kick in the nuts should bring him down

[dve8692]

all i can say is...holy fuckin shit!!

[cliffjumper11]

what kind of shorts are those???

[ajamessmith1]

Friggen animal. This is motivating as hell! Mariusz aint got shit!

[TheRugbyidiot]

I can't really see, does he wear cross training shoes for this lift? I would've though he'd wear oly shoes or chuck taylors. Cool lift either way.

[lift0dem0weights1]

Man this guy is lucky, what gym has atlas stones? Thats got to be expensive as fuck! Is this even a public gym?

[skirts365]

The WWE currently still advertises Mark Henry as the world's strongest man. He's bigger than DP but I don't see he could pace those assorted strength feats. Lifting scientifically attacks muscles so they can get stronger during rest. Being beaten on--fake or not--is never conducive to stronger muscles. Patera wasn't as strong wrestling as he was when he lifted. Kazmaier could have killed Tully Blanchard if he'd wanted to. I imagine WWE would like to get DP & he'd be crowd draw.

[muzimuzi]

thats a stone u dont want on ur feet

[Fortefan4ever]

All hail...............the keyboard warriors

[lildrummerboy189]

His arms are HUGE! what arm workouts does he do?

[MrKf1984]

@lildrummerboy189 i heard he does 40 pound dumbbelll curls....

[Magicloveqwe]

this guy is crazy lol no wounder he is one of the worlds strongest man ever

[skirts365]

A qualified person to demonstrate a "bearhug."

[Goldbeed12]

god damn thaTS crazy good job man

[Jerrime2009]

Hey, dick boy? Tell Derek to bench 1,000+ lbs and then we'll talk.

[BehindTheLight99]

1000+ lbs? I don't think so. Take off the bench shirt and he can't bench shit.

[55AllOut]

@BehindTheLight99 Lol, your right benching 500 for reps isnt shit... oh wait, most people cant ever do that once

[BehindTheLight99]

@55AllOut most people cant even bench 315

[XMrLawlX]

@BehindTheLight99 Take off the bench shirt and he did 500x3 raw. I bet that's more than your subtotal.

[BehindTheLight99]

@XMrLawlX LOFL....you think benching 500 pounds is a lot?

[XMrLawlX]

@BehindTheLight99 No I don't but 500x3 RAW isnt bad. Doing it with a shirt is nothing.

[BehindTheLight99]

@XMrLawlX agreed

[azwolf1993]

@BehindTheLight99 He benches 500-600 pounds so i dont think thats shit...what do you do 150? Gtfo

[BehindTheLight99]

@azwolf1993 450..........you probably are like 170 pounds soaking wet....get out you fucking noob

[azwolf1993]

@BehindTheLight99 Yea more like 450 pounds of bullshit. You aint fooling anyone kid.

[BehindTheLight99]

@azwolf1993 listen dildo, stick to your creatine

[azwolf1993]

@BehindTheLight99 The response I would expect from a kid who has to talk shit over youtube.

[BehindTheLight99]

@azwolf1993 kid? LOFL.....I'm probably older than you.

[azwolf1993]

@BehindTheLight99 Once again you change the subject, knowing that ive made you look like a fool again. Im done wasting my time responding to your pointless post...kid.

[BehindTheLight99]

@azwolf1993 HAHA......I've owned you in every argument........u mad?

[kgcage14]

@BehindTheLight99 he doesnt use a bench shirt in any of his bench videos nor a massive arch in his back

[BehindTheLight99]

@kgcage14 I never said that he uses a bench shirt....I was replying to some guy above that later removed his comment talking about the world record holder benching a 1000 pounds with a bench shirt.

[ride869]

@BehindTheLight99 he aint even waring a bench shirt you fucking idiot

[BehindTheLight99]

@ride869 Listen you dumb motherfucker. Did you even read any of the previous posts? I was talking about Scott Mendelson. Someone was on here talking about how much stronger Scott was over Derek and I told him to take the bench shirt off. Fuck, there are some dumbasses on youtube.

[S2000rules]

@BehindTheLight99 poundstones max is 600 not a thousand

[BehindTheLight99]

@S2000rules I know, I wasn't talking about Poundstone, there was a guy on here talking about Scott Mendelson benching 1000

[Naqkin]

@BehindTheLight99 he benched 500 for like 3 reps without a shirt.....i dont know who you think you are dude but youre an idiot

[BehindTheLight99]

@Naqkin You stupid fucking ignorant piece of shit. Did you even read any of the comments? No, you didn't, did you. I never once said Poundstone couldn't bench that much. In fact, I was defending him. There was a guy saying Menedelson benched 1000 pounds, that is who I was talking about. Fucking read the comments before you open your fucking dumb mouth.

[tgtennis]

@BehindTheLight99

Scott Mendelson, the world record holder in the raw bench, can't bench shit without a shirt? Indeed.

For those who don't know - he's got 1,000+ with gear and 700+ raw. The video is on Youtube for crying out loud.

[BehindTheLight99]

@tgtennis no, i never said he couldn't bench shit, I was just saying that he can't bench a 1000 without a shirt. obviously the guy is strong as fuck.

[tgtennis]

@BehindTheLight99

Not trying to be an internet ass here, but you said both.

"Take off the bench shirt and he can't bench shit." That's what your comment at the top of the video says, hence my correction. Perhaps you meant "that shit" as in 1,000 pounds, but it looks like you got a tad over-enthusiastic in your reply.

Gear does suck, though, I'm not arguing with that.

[BehindTheLight99]

@tgtennis Yeah, you're right. Basically I was trying to defend Poundstone from a guy that was saying Mendelson is more impressive because he can bench 1000 pounds with a shirt. So I was just trying to say take the shirt off and then compare him with Derek.

[brocomeatmebro]

@BehindTheLight99 take of shit he'll still bench more then any normal human on this planet by alot

[BehindTheLight99]

@brocomeatmebro agreed...never said that he wouldn't

[MrGeneralskruf]

@BehindTheLight99 people who cant achive what others can always throws out stupid shit like this. Bet ur a fucking weakling

[BehindTheLight99]

@MrGeneralskruf shut up you little pussy

[MrGeneralskruf]

@BehindTheLight99 i would crack ur bones up so fast, just because i use a bench shirt

[BehindTheLight99]

@MrGeneralskruf shut up pussy

[Sqiwamjon]

wtf...!@#$%^&*&^%$#@! strong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abes1]

Hey, my name is Derek Poundstone, and i get my protein from babies and elephant meat. Also, my nuts are made of titanium.

I don't think i could even roll a 555lb stone. smh.

[Cmac1000rr]

i have a 405 squat a 335 deadlift and a 285 bench, and i doubt i could even do a third of what he is donig rightthere, truly a testimant to how strong humas really can become

[justinhardt1]

"Oh, I'm gonna do it again..." "You're going to do it again, what the hell?" lol!

[skirts365]

Basque stone lifters should want to butt heads with him. And look out. There's something about men from the "Old World" as in Olympic lifts they really seem to have superior natural gifts. Mielxto Saralegi did shoulder a 721 pound block of granite a few years ago. Of course shapes have to be considered. Rectangles are less difficult probably than spheres. It was a rectangle shape.

[Jerrime2009]

This kid needs to watch where he is dropping that ball at! A dude could lose his foot drooping 555 lbs on it!

[box1467]

... Brutal display of power ! ... so this gym is on Mars ? where are gyms with so many stones ( and so many cardio machines ) ?

[KyoukouSuneku]

Thats a quarter tonne right there!!!

[KinesitionChirossage]

World's Strongest Man competition. Hats off to Paul Ohl for really making a competition where its winners can truly be called the "World's Strongest Man."

[KinesitionChirossage]

Watch out Mariusz! Derek is coming for you if you decide to show up at the 2009 W.S.M.! Derek just continues to improve every facet of his strongman game as does Travis Ortmayer. If those two as well as Zydrunas Savickas and Brian Shaw show up in top form, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Mariusz doesn't even finish in the Top 5. For such a dubious distinction of "World's Strongest Man," they need to use MUCH heavier weights than they do in competition. Think Fortissimus. That's the true

[Jerrime2009]

Scott Meldenson is alot stronger han Derek Poundstone.

[MicFrosty88]

are you kidding me? in the bench press hes stronger, but not even a lot. and in nothing else is he stronger. comparing powerlifters to strongmen is apples to oranges, both fruit, but very different.

[DyskoDelThunderback]

The term strength refers to the amount of weight lifted, while the term power refers to how quickly you can move a given weight. So it's like, if Guy 1 can lift a 650 lb. Viper ball in 20 seconds, he is stronger than Guy 2 who can lift it in 10. But if it takes Guy 2 5 seconds to clean and press 700 pounds, he is more powerful thatn Guy 1 who does it in 7 seconds. They're very different and similar terms, again comparing apples and oranges.

[TheOpenSight]

Hey DyskoDelTB, I always explain it like this, "a cheetah is "powerful", a bull is "strong"." Most people don't get the difference.

[DyskoDelThunderback]

Yeah, that's a shorter explanation haha

[zovaarth]

ur a fuckin dumbass derek is a monster and just cuz you can bench doesn't mean ur strong

-Zovaarth

[Draquoe]

@Jerrime2009 scott mendenson is a bench monkey, granted he's incredibly good at what he does, he wouldn't do so great in a strongman competition. People are saying it over and over and nobody seems to be listening, apples to oranges guys, apples to oranges.

[InNateWeTrust]

Balls to the wall!

[skirts365]

OK damn I'm impressed. How many men think they're strong and kind of are, that can't do a 125 pound "stone." Seems also like this takes lots of biceps power and maybe the top CJ supers could not quite do it due to insufficient biceps strength. Weighted sit ups prevent hernias.

[goodwinner]

This is impressive. I can't wait for WSM 09!

[luthmhor]

I've never even heard of an Atlas stone that weighs that much, holy crap. Cuz lifting that is so much harder than deadlifting.

[LsstrongmanSal61]

Thats a small 555lbs stone. What is the core made of?

[knelly19]

In the center is a 230 lb custom lead ball and the diameter of the stone is 21.5". This stone was developed by Steve Slater of Slater Stones and Hardware in Lancaster, Ohio.

[BehindTheLight99]

@LsstrongmanSal61 gold

[bonsai108]

I bet the gym owner is relieved he will soon be done buying heavy balls.

[zovaarth]

lol this is the same place he did the 15 reps for circus dumbbell.

[zovaarth]

he said yeah no, not fuck it

[ninjajesus81]

If your name is Poundstone, you're born to be strong.

[glcb7]

love it when he finally gets it and the hes so estatic and saids hold on im gonna do it again.....lol.....DEREK POUNDSTONE 2009 WSM!!!!!!!!!! All the way!!!!!!!

[ORTprod]

he's in great shape O_O

[helpcurecatholicism]

are those shorts sticky?. Listen when he lifts the stone off his pants or when he squats out of the hole with the stone. It sounds wierd.

[Soob4ME]

I think that's his legs breaking. lol, yeah right. He's too much of a beast.

[bonsai108]

I think it is the velcro in his belt. Yeah doesn't sound good!

[Trichellepham]

the second time,

he said fuck it. lol

[RAYDENMORTALKOMBAT]

the strongest man in the world

[delstevo1]

pondstones the man

[potatoeater216]

amazing!

[chogue3]

It's awesome watching him on the WSM, represents USA very well with hard work and class...good job

[zeppafloyd]

My wife and I watched the 2008 WSM on TV last weekend and Derek was beating Marizc on the atlas stones but that last stone just barely slipped off the pedestal. Watch out this year!

[LSUBOY41]

Whats the heavist stone in competition? 400?

[ryanphillips86]

i think it would be the Arnold where they have the 525lb stone for reps event

[AviadTheCoach]

Amazing.

Keep up the good & superheavy work!

[Liftinglinguist]

Looking forward to seeing this guy and many of the other titans in VPC in june! Perhaps he has time to chat a little as well! :-)

[sanoe2lake]

fucking awesome

[madmax20l]

wow 250kg  stones nice derek

[trainerjoe]

Haha... taking it easy the week before the Arnold I see... Good Luck next weekend!!

[ericofsac]

That's amazing! Good work!

[BeyondBerserk]

Practice makes perfect !

[ryanphillips86]

is this the heaviest stone ever loaded?? i remember ortmayer saying he was going to make a 600 stone??? not sure if he made it or loaded it or wat. awesome work though derek!! the arnold is urs to win!

[robertholt2410]

amazing lift,i was shouting at the screen watching it,especially after watching the 1st and 2nd attempts.

[BLONDSPOTPOWERLIFTER]

wow that is crazy great inspirational strength and power

[409man]

incredible, simply incredible!

[arnifs]

Unbelieveble truly amazing Derek is the strongest stone lifter in the world right now 555 atlas stone and 517 field stone...

I believe Arild could give it a run but since he left strongman for boxing he probably never will.... =p

[jjmm112]

Part silverback?,5*.

[bigxshawn]

Amazing lift but wouldn;t say the best stone lifter, think arild is that guy for now.

Can't wait to see the improvments you made in comp this year. Looks like your on fire at the min

[A550RGY]

Amazing!! I guess he's officially backed up his comment about being the best stone lifter in the world.

[pkpit143]

sick. very sick
