just.... unbelievable.. thats crazy. I'd give anything, train as long and hard as i need to, just to be able to MOVE a stone that big lol, much less lift it haha. great job.
theyre rehband. you can buy them on the rehband website and if you google nas - nation american strongman theirs links for all kinds of websites like rehband
I'm going to get flamed for this I'm sure, but I have a feeling that if you just rocked your hips back and then forward a little more - taking advantage of your hamstrings' stretch reflex - and threw your head back more on the way up, you'd have had it.
It ALMOST looks like you're trying to see how high you're getting it - like shirted benchers who raise their head to see where the bar is touching. Id' say just rock the hips, throw the head back and up, and you'll clear that bar.
props to you for posting the "missed" lifts. The ones you complete are awesome... but these show what you really go through to get where you are, it's not all PRs and perfect lifts!
he stayed in the down position for 10 seconds. that is a lot of energy spent right there.

I don't care if you got it over that bar, or not -- it's impressive to just get that thing off the ground, as far as I'm concerned.

I know his thighs must have been in pain. I know that when I'm deadlifting and I rest the bar across my thighs to help me get it up it hurts.

This has to be one of the most impressive missed lifts ever! He can already load the 555lb stone. a couple more inches and thats it.
