Layne Norton 635 lb Deadlift for 3 reps 8-12-2011

[Frylock72993]

so is it easier to grip the bar with the overhand grip? I use a mixed grip with one hand over and the other under and i always feel like I'm going to drop the bar.

[federaltnezbmx]

@thebraintrainful HAHA whoa Layne I bet that extremely intelligent insult hurt your feelings huh? Internet haters are hilarious

[rccwilliams]

Inspiration.

[thebraintrainful]

you are a fucking fuckface bitch

[fr3shascanb3]

the first time you used hook grip did you ever rip the skin off your thumbs? happen to me last week and it fuckin sucks

[euclidisrandom]

Man I want to go to powerhouse, Im stuck at anytime fitness in south tampa

[jo3isonfire]

I fucking love your enthusiasm Layne, watching you makes me feel like I could deadlift 635, fuck the haters.

[GiefGoldPlx]

You were right about your femurs being long Layne. Amazing lifts nevertheless!

[nickstory]

if the bar aint bending, youre just pretending ;)



[lovesgibson]

can someone tell me why he never does mixed grip

[nickstory]

@lovesgibson doesn't wanna rip a bicep tendon gnomesayin?

[michaelzwarszawy]

@lovesgibson he uses hook grip, which enables the lifter to hold more weight since the holding of the thumbs reduces the amount of grip strength needed. it's also safer, as it greatly reduces the risk of bicep tears as in the case of mixed grips, with the supinated hand being more prone to tears.

[RiseofBane]

wow great job. No wrist wrap, no strap, spinating, and controlled negative... Thumbed up. Bro can you tell me your routine? I do 4x8 program, 1set start with 45pd plate, and increase it and when it's my 4th set, currently I do 275x8. But what is your routine?

[604josh]

thumbs up for double overhand grip

[joshmaher93]

double over hand grip and no straps holy shit haha

[michaelzwarszawy]

how much you weighing here?

[psvc22]

you know your a beast when you pull with that hook grip

[whit3b0y93]

hey layne when do u plan on competing again?

[econ137]

good shit brotha strong as hell...you always use double overhand grip for deads? did you always have a good grip or did you work at it, and if so, what did u do to improve it?

[BrokenPath666]

Wow that's without a pronated grip. That's pretty insane. I can't even think about doing half my 3 rep max without pronating my grip first.

[Tullijatt604]

is it safe to assume your going to do power lift meet soon since you are doing smolov training? why smolov, i thought sheiko37 was a superior workout!

[RedWildz]

@Tullijatt604

Sheiko is a great program, but for the purposes of improving your squat there is really no better program than Smolov.

[careyisking]

COME ON LETS GO LETS GO

[RustyIronloins]

great job!!

[aznpwnerp]

Dang your fingers can hold that much weight w/ that grip? Crazy.

[antant999999]

The people that work at my gym are to scared to say anything to the people screaming lol. So I guess its allowed.

[webbyman]

didnt fully lock out... whut?

lol

[nealo786]

@webbyman was just about to say the same thing---he did not lockout any of those of lifts---none of them would count at a powerlifting event

[biolayne]

@nealo786 yea, that's why i've never received a single red light in any powerlifting meet. so many idiots... too little time

[FaizanMohammad]

If the bar ain't bendin, kiss my ass ! Lol

[JrHopp21]

inspiration!

[Suprcassanova]

I'd love to be a member of a gym that encourages screaming. I have to do it inside my head. I'm in Sweden you see and they're awfully reserved about that kind of thing!

[maximilliankolb]

ONE STRONG ASS DUDE!



[Herc0gs]

If anything, this inspired me to work harder!

Thanks, dude! And good luck!

[websterniemi]

The grip strength is half of the glory on this one! Sick!

[XowntXihqX]

can you make a posing video?

[biolayne]

@XowntXihqX wtf?

[XowntXihqX]

@biolayne wut? you've only posted lifting videos. im sure im not the only one curious to see an update of your physique........

[webbyman]

@biolayne Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're a competing bodybuilder who struts around on stage oiled up and flexing in a small thong.. So why is this a weird request?

[biolayne]

@webbyman Yea, not a thong. And unfortunately weirdo degenerates like yourself are one of the reasons bodybuilding has such a negative connotation, get your jollies elsewhere

[SOuLmAN1984]

Layne I didn't read the title of this vid and just saw 635 deadlift so I was expecting a single. Then you bust out three reps! Awesome work.

[acharris1991]

Awsome Layne! I see a 800lb deadlift in the future...!!!

[darkerca]

WAUW!

I dont get it ! Ur an awesome bodybuilder, but ur also very strong, are you also a power lifter or something?

[tgiaps]

RAGE!

[waynebanthorpe]

Not even any straps!! Well done mate

[ivanthegreatsd]

Awesome work layne!

[masonkiller666]

What gym is this that lets you be loud and whatnot? I'm not railing against your yelling (whatever gets the weight up!) its just that so many gyms are kind of stupid and they kick people out for that sort of thing.

[biolayne]

@masonkiller666 I train at powerhouse gym in North Tampa. Not only do they not mind it. Typically they encourage it. If you are ever in Tampa, this is the gym to train at. No fluff

[Will132us]

@biolayne Yes you right!! Best gym to train!

[itswhatido100]

@masonkiller666 almost every gym allows you to grunt and make noise. Its only the sissy pussy gyms like planet fitness (or as I call them, planet gayness) that dont let you grunt. If you cant make noise in your gym, you are in a sissy pussy faggot gym.

[BodyBuildME]

@itswhatido100 my new fav gym name diss is LA Shitness

[Punk4Life408]

@masonkiller666 sounds like you train at a pussy gym

[Tullijatt604]

new**

[Tullijatt604]

how much do you weight? no perfect record at this bw?

[therealshellski]

The man

[kennyt3]

[claysfitness]

[jdmlvn]

SHIT SON look at that bar bend!

[xTeeKaYo]

[CDX1985]

LETS GO LAYNE 

[ChrisSierra408]

[DrPhillgood87]

Sick! I finally hit 500 lbs for 1 and you are hitting 635 for 3. I just set some new goals!
