800 deadllift at 238 18 y/o Chris Hickson

[TEEVENSSNEVEET]

For anyone that doesn't know his dad was a professional body builder and he's been training since he was 3. lol He's not a freak just started training way before most of us even knew what muscles where lmao

[democratusnostradas]

Damn

Dem' Genetics

[oe]

damn that was beast mode right there.

[supertacticalbacon]

His thumbs had to hurt.

[danielnator]

Damn! You got some super strong support grip good lift!

[goldsgymmarshal1]

jesus fucking christ. unbelievable!

[JobforaQuinnBoy1]

This would never count in a powerlifting meet. It's too impressive that the judges would red light you.

[YoungFitnessAddict]

damn deadlifting 800 pounds is impressive, but no straps and double over hand grip is amazing. super strong grip

[WatsupBroh]

this kid's grip is amazing!

[wkcmanz]

wrost form ever could of snaped ur spine

[Tgalli19]

@wkcmanz Do an 800lb Deadlift with bad form, please. Tape it and put the video on youtube

[dchen345]

hick's son

[177ronaldoc]

nice work son!

[gmanthebeast1]

fake

[therabidliger]

double OH for 800 lbs? holy fuck, would not want to shake hands with this guy. I can barely hold on to 525 with a mixed grip.

[akerbacker]

nice belt..

[lilblitz]

kids got an amazing grip, but too young to do that weight, the lower back is fragile, I'm the guy people told this stuff to 10 years ago and I didn't listen.

[GoodHealthNFitness]

Wow! How did he hook-grip 800LBS I don't think I have ever seen that? Impressive

[SmexyPC]

@GoodHealthNFitness watch 415kg raw deadlift i forgot by who. he does it with hook grip as well

[GoodHealthNFitness]

@SmexyPC Yes his name is Mikhail Koklyaev, I think is who you would be referring to. Complete Stud! He was at the Arnold Classic Last year.

[SmexyPC]

@GoodHealthNFitness yeah hes a fucking beast

[MS6]

ronnie isnt weak by all means, if he didnt have to cut back on the carbs for his bodybuilding shows, he could easily deadlift more that 800

[RebelWrestler45]

@MS6 Not without a deadlift suit; same thing for squat, no 800 plus without a suit and wraps.

[ghidfg]

god his back is arched so much

[Raz4rocks]

Good job, im 21 and only pulling around 520 training for almost a year. Very impressive.

[MrJervilla]

@Raz4rocks took me 6 yrs to pull 500 -_-

[chrishickson]

@MrJervilla I did 500 @ 14 y.o 220lbs chubby kid i was

[MrJervilla]

@chrishickson i hate you -_-

[onetao8]

Nice!

[ProViceRS]

:O no way

[chrishickson]

@OneDownServer 360 bench is kinda low, but 700 squat in wraps and near 600 just belt is pretty consistent with the my pull.

[76jomama]

damn thats really good with that grip

[brookmthomas]

No hook grip?... Crap he's a boss

[yonkersfugitive]

wow...awesome

[selaasar]

Look at the size difference between him and coleman, and they're lifting the same amount.

[celnaz]

@selaasar Pound per pound a powerlifter has more strength than a bodybuilder. That said powerlifters are still big and bodybuilders are still strong. Second of all, Ronnie was getting his ass kicked by his diet in his video and did 2 reps but you're still right.

[selaasar]

@celnaz Ya, I wasn't dissing on Ronnie I just thought it was interesting. This video is pretty much proof that bigger isn't always stronger.

[poonageproductions]

be faster then you could clean that shit lool

[refuseit]

18 year old lifting 800 hook grip (no straps)? fuck my life.

[seab1023]

@refuseit I was thinking the same thing.....

[puppiesNicecream]

nice

[Foxrider4564]

no straps what boss

[Crazylalalalala]

thats pretty bad ass GZ

[TheBalisto]

This is a big boy

[mercerx2]

Great man!, and only 18 ?

and using this grip too, holy fuck

mirin brah

[jdp855]

Pimpson!!!

[COREYDEER]

that is impressive.

[iiamiNsAnE]

Holy fuck.

[andriyk47]

wow



[skirts365]

The weight lifted correlated with his early age raises more eyebrows than usual. A much more honorable achievement than lazy fat slobs. A 3 lift total of 800 is more than some men can do. His build is more the regular type than Vince Anello, whose back seemed to compress so as to not have to pull very far. CH's accomplishment is way better and at an early age is more phenomenal. Some say lifting can stunt growth, but any stretching movement stimulates it. Best lift in USA at this time!!

[B19SVG]

BOOM!!! Excellent!!!

[luthmhor]

Keep it up, at this rate by age 30 you should have exceeded 1000lb by a large margin.

[berryhill88]

That's amazing, hook grip, no fumbling around with stance before the lift, really awesome.

Having monkey arms really does help though

[DopeBoyMagick19]

This man has no nuts, fucking steroids

[Cavar21]

@DopeBoyMagick19 when somebody stronger than your = steroids?

[twistedjeeper1]

Impressive, I strain that hard with 250:)

[mrinderle]

Just sick! Huge respect! I love all the keyboard warriors that would have trouble deadlifting 1/2 that critiquing your form and your grip. BWAHAHAHAHA Amazing pull bro!

[sdfefde]

@chrishickson you look HUGE close up on brospros interview , really HUGE :D

[Ramboringsted]

MY BACK MY BACK! hE'S BACK LOOKS LIKE SHIT WHEN HE'S LIFTING.

[EricRushOSU]

This is the future!

[abaddontree]

nice

[KristaSchaus]

Very impressive. I think this is more impressive than the 1000 plus DL I just watched. Relative strength is King.

[genericteen]

holy fucking shit

[anddudewaslike]

fucking respect, man. DAMN

[atgcuz]

haha who cares about his grip? you can hold a shit load of weight using the hook grip. the most impressive things are his legs strength and back strength

[HawkReborn]

@atgcuz That grip is hard/potentially dangerous to do without straps, most people use an alternating grip when not using straps.

[qwertyfelix]

You probably are one of the strongest 18 years old man on earth

[HomeGymFitness]

OMG dude. Your grip strength is ridiculous. Both grips facing the same way? That's the most impressive thing I have seen in a while. I struggle to hold 315 for that grip for more than two reps. 

[fistrules1]

u will be a champ one day

[rickybobby292]

You gonna snap all yo shit up

[omgkeynote]

jesus christ this is unreal.

[rico925]

Thumbs made of steel

[raulvazquezdm]

That was unreal! Awesome lift!

[leggoego]

play any sports?

[chrishickson]

@leggoego bball :)

[wudthedamaja]

my face when no straps and no mixed grip.

[jscook87]

Just want to send a congrats, I know the hard work it takes to get there. Great milestone keep it up!

[deadlift4life]

@skylineowner1990 the song is by young jeezy named" loose my mind "!! by the way hell of a pull sir !! 18 years old? young andy bolton !! looked like 850 in not far off !! great strength..ur a beast young man

[hayzie]

@deadlift4life Thanks for the song name, great lift!

[kelseyboy2000]

what kind of bar do you have?

[skylineowner1990]

sick lift!!! whats the song?

[eddyturner3]

@skylineowner1990 "Lose My Mind" Jeezy ft. Plies



[SuperMj713]

HELL YEA BRO!!!! KEEP IT UP

[destinoaz5]

PURE BAD ASS!

[lovesgibson]

you are a freak of nature. congratulations!

[wsman18]

This guy is anatomically gifted for deadlifting. Notice how the bar comes only half way up his quadricep? Great build.

[FrozenAntiFreeze]

@wsman18 nah his shoulders are just being ripped out of their sockets.

[xaznalienaterx]

@wsman18 Hook grip is legit!

[obezana]

@wsman18 bullshit. yes, his long arms keep the weight somewhat low relative to his quad but ultimately its how much the weight moves off the floor. he has a solid bit of distance between the plates and the floor so hes still doing more work than some 5' 5" fucker whos plates are 6 inches off the floor at the top of his pull.

[jms8220]

how tall are you? just curious

[SteezBow]

0:13 jump-to-deadlift

[seab1023]

thats impressive

[510RFL]

no fag ass straps!!! nice lift!!!!

[vctop101dunk]

wow no straps, nice lift

[daniyal08]

nice

pound 4 pound

[georh11]

what its this 18 dont like its ,that was perfect lift i never ever see 18 age boy lift så much

[kelgrael77]

How tall are you? You look like you're definitely over 6 feet.

[Plecebo1996]

Good form unlike 99% of the other lifting videos on youtube

[ForcingYou]

@Plecebo1996 no not good form lol :D look at his back.. but its a max so who cares? ;)

[Plecebo1996]

@ForcingYou A bit of rounding is alright with a belt

[ForcingYou]

@Plecebo1996 a BIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIT BIT

[mchealy90]

@ForcingYou When you're lifting big weights, your upper back will round. This really isn't that bad. It's the lower back that you have to be worried about and it looks alright in this video.

[thedouchebags1234]

hook grip? yeah looked like a hook grip

[jaja007]

thats crazy, respect!

[TheMrSupercluster]

Holly mother of jesus.

[9BigGeorge]

800 with no suit, and no straps, with double over hand! 18 as well! So impressive, your gonna be competing in strongman one day.

[LighterOfDewbies]

That was fucking insane

[timrnagy]

Awesome Lift!

[AndyHarglesis]

roids

[Sm0keddhany]

@AndyHarglesis

Yes ofcourse its always roids, i bet you don't have clue what anabolic steroids do to affect the body's muscular system you retard 10 year old, go back to your WoW and grow fat instead and hate the people who train hard, because haters gonna hate you imbicile fatzo =)

[AndyHarglesis]

@Sm0keddhany U mad bro?

[gbatemper123]

@Sm0keddhany

Steroids - Fuck yeah I wanna cheat and take the easy way out and fuck many women,

20 years later - Fuck my balls are small as peanuts my dick is shit.

[Sm0keddhany]

@gbatemper123

You damn retard look up what sarcasm is, tbh i bet your penis is already like a peanut so you wont have any side effect by roids ;)

[oratorman]

I've got a buddy who is always talking about this guy like he's the best deadlifter ever. And he always points out "And he's natural too and only 18!!!" Ed Coan deadlifted 901 at 216 lbs bodyweight, so this kid is definitely approaching Ed Coan level, however I don't buy the "100% drug free" story for a second! Everybody these days is drug-free, but they're just as strong as the guys who are honest about their drug use. I wish guys would just shut up and respect all lifters drug-free or not.

[slimjamie1991]

@oratorman he won't break the 220 record because he's too tall (6'3'' or so). I think he could break a lot of the upper weight class records though.

[Duf67]

Geezus dude....

[bigbaldpapa]

Overhand, no straps. Way to go man. Keep it up!

[tlast2O12dude]

Hardcore to the bone!!! AWESOMEEEE!!

[Bruce777999]

Strong!

[VladeliX]

omg! awesome!!!!

[Randysaxeman]

am i the only one more impressed with his grip than the actual deadlift? How the hell did he do that overhanded?

[zkyggen]

For sure on drugs, that gripstrength is impressive as fuark though

[VladeliX]

@zkyggen drugs/no drugs... still very impressive!

[zkyggen]

@VladeliX true that

[bo94hotmailcom]

Always chinese......



[ProgressiveLifting]

that was very impressive! :D

[MATT111MARTIN]

he dont look 18 he look 35

[hbstrbo]

Don't you see people? Thats definitely fake, many world's renowned powerlifters/strongmen train 10-15 years on a large amount of steroids, live a life like eat/juice/train/sleep and at approx. 30-35 years reach their peak of strength , then do 800-860 deadlift one rep max with an alternate grip and that is possible. That kid's claiming to be able to deadlift 800 at 18 y/o is ridiculous.

[sdfefde]

@hbstrbo 1.hool grip 2. he has a genetic "defect"-or a good defect wich allows him to use his inner cns RETARD STRENGTH , wich only is kept for extreme situations at normal people. like a house blew and before fire engulfed a police officer , he ran faster than a sprinter for a couple of seconds , and he was fat . only explanation of chris hickson strength

[leapfrog1989]

@hbstrbo i've been to his meets and lifted with him. he's legit.

[zignationer]

are you using a hook grip?

[LightweightPL17]

Only 18? Natural or not, you'll be the guy deadlifting 1050 one day

[Isaac707]

@LightweightPL17 He'll be deadlifting 1050 one day or throwing out his back...either way that guy lifted 800 and thats crazy.

[haxmya]

Sick!

[monge59]

Damn!! that's impressive ..

[Ms293847]

He is lying the world record is 700 something, and if he is telling the truth, why is this feat not talked about in the record books.

[conaman]

@Ms293847 Are you joking? /watch?v=26yqOMsxQho This is the world record.

[monibrahman]

@conaman Same dude deadlifting 1100 lbs /watch?v=17ptVrk4vo8&feature=r­elated

But I don't think it is a sanctioned event.

[zarol95]

@monibrahman tht's benedikt magnusson.. he's the king of deadlift :)

[MEELATEHGRIL]

@Ms293847 Because lifting in your garage isn't a certified event, dumbass.

[BenchMonster4XL1]

how much u bench

[strongsick286]

@BenchMonster4XL1 ha ha how much you bench ah ha ha

[BenchMonster4XL1]

@strongsick286 im bench pressing almost 400, im 240 and im 17. i need to get a video camera asap

[burlyman30]

Chris, you've got some great natural ability and you've obviously worked very hard and put in your time in the gym. Have you considered getting a national level coach to hone your technique/form? I have no doubt this would take you to the next level while helping to keep you from getting injured as the weights increase.

[mariops2]

Awesome strength for a very young man and with an overhand grip.. Your grip must be very strong.. Although it helps when you have long fingers but nevertheless superb strength.

[dudemoya]

holy shit... you are badass bro...

[fighting185]

As already mentioned, not only is this just a sick lift in itself, but you use a double overhand grip! I would be scared to shake hands with you lol but seriously, that is awesome. How much can you pull using an alternating grip? Or do you actually pull better with a double overhand?

[TreeSmoke1999]

You could break the raw deadlift record Chris,incredible job!

[cchase365]

Fucking beast. Keep up the good work.

[MrLmfao1989]

Fuck overhand with 800!? That's some grip strength. Even in that video of Ronnie Coleman deadlifting 800 he uses the alternate grip.

[evanescence2]

wow double overhand with 800 pounds very very impressive! you don't see too many videos on youtube of people deadlifting this much weight using double overhand and no straps

[hempfield21]

great great great lift, just to let you know the vertical jump link is broken also whats the song that was playing as you pulled soaund like a banger

[cornnellify]

i want to say "fake" and stuff but that bar bent and i dont know that good of an actor. With that, I have to commend you. This is freaking amazing. I like how you didnt pause in the middle either. it was as deadlift as they come. put your strength to good use, my man.

[azermane2]

no straps. that pretty hardcore!

[bigwillnky1]

I would love to know how tall he is, I think we would be even more impressed if that's even possible... I have a feeling he's pretty tall which makes these lifts even harder and more impressive due to the distance the weight has to travel!!! Keep up the good work kid!!!!

[leapfrog1989]

@bigwillnky1 he's 6'3".



[thecityalive]

over over...you fucking animal.

[KTMONEY100]

Ummm, holy fuck....this doesn't even make sense

[pepinho89]

got that monkey grip

[TBW92]

how the fuck

[iron1600]

are you really naturally stronger than most?....i mean come on

[iron1600]

are you really naturally stronger than most?........i just want one of these elite lifters to say no i dont use PEDs.......not dodge the question......and yes i am jealous......just want some real honesty....nice lift

[JamieandhisIbanez]

how the fuck did you do that with double overhand

[sdfefde]

@JamieandhisIbanez hook grip , stronger than mixed if you have long fingers and hands

[eowdaoc]

@JamieandhisIbanez hook :)

[LexingtonLanePlummer]

@JamieandhisIbanez Hook Grip, it's like imitating your thumbs as straps when you grab the bar.

[michaelzwarszawy]

@JamieandhisIbanez hook grip, look it up.

[andomm]

@JamieandhisIbanez hook grip

[MrZachLutes]

you gained 20lbs in 2 months!? crazy diet

[sdfefde]

EIGHT HUNDRED

[zozenis]

~jeezy motivation~

[ignorantcracka]

wtf... 800. You are a strong motherfucker. With standard grip? You just inspired me. That's insane strength.
