mark felix deadlift training reps 350kg no straps

[MrJohn12345678990]

It's always funny seeking all the weaklings in the background walking around thinking they are also an athlete.

[b0xing123]

Fat pete in the background I met him that gym looks hardcore Felix is a beast!!

[1jilu]

I feel disgusted at myself now that i watched this,and i don't think i am ever going to call myself "strong" anymore.

[ossian1977]

Impressive! Also, perfect gym! Cold , raw and rusty! No sarcasm, really, way too many fancy pants fitness studios around, they don't motivate me as much as this video did in 41"!

[lukekhealth]

I dont know of much people who have the strength in their upper back to stop it from rounding a bit with that much weight in their hands

[steflotti105]

@lukekhealth rounding of the thorasic spine isnt an issue on deadlifts, its the lumbar region that you really dont want to be rounding

[lukekhealth]

@steflotti105 Hi man, Thats the point I was trying to make.So many people were giving out about his form but with that weight the theres bound to be a bit of rounding

[Scottium]

For those critiquing form - his upper back rounds a bit, which is common for guys that lift more weight that you ever will. His lower back remains straight (neutral) the whole way.

[elitesniperface]

you the fuck dislikes this, what a guy

[quangstars]

Omg, I can't even grip that shit !

[Rattattattatt]

At what point/weight is it infeasible to deadlift without a belt?

[Vdjperks]

to be honest there really isn't a thing as form on deadlifts this is good what felix is doing unless you not doing a good morning then its ok

[burnindownthehouse]

Wow. That is some serious weight right there. And I believe he repped it 5 times!

: O

[dman519]

@burnindownthehouse HAHA i know! i lost count after 3!

[ICUTUUU]

what insane grip strength

[mrmag1cc]

~Holy shiznit!!

[Darkstar2520]

Jesus Christ !!

[Benkejohanson]

nigger doin fine lol

[MyTemporaryAccount88]

Every time I see him in WSM I just wish he'd started competing at a younger age, he's one of my favorite competitors, but even before it starts you know he's not going to end up in the top 3 =/

Gonna go for 100kg next workout (3x3 90kg, 1x1 95kg today), recently got past my previous record I had before I stretched my hamstring (while I was sick & not lifting, ironically enough) multiple times & other BS -.-

[mcbassman]

beast old felix on the back

[tabbyboy]

mark is class,,,,and its shows age is only a number,,he has a good few years left

[dolphusbanks]

@skizoira mark is on felixtv

[bubydijo]

He is the oldest competing i believe in WSM what he does is amazing for his age.

[wilshteaser]

big bastard

[bushidobadboy]

I like Felix and wish him every success for the future. I watched (on TV) when he tore his bicep doing the d/lift at worlds strongest man. It was a totally unncessary injury, since the bar was welded (no turning) and so he could have use a straight grip not a mixed grip. The position the mixed grip put his bicep into, caused the bicep overload IMO. Shame, but I hope he's fully recovered.

[crazytrk9]

king of the deadlift!!!!!!!

[kickenwing30]

Awesome, but what I've noticed is that he has a SLOW pull from the bottom, but a super fast and strong lockout, probably the reason why he doesn't dead over 900lbs yet.

[Izzarado06]

felix is the man, second best deadlift in the world!!!!

[amarone1956]

@Izzarado06 He's a great lifter, but there are better deadlifters. Magnusson and Konstantinovs are two.

[chursthouse]

fuck i love this intensity of support, fuck i wish i had a gym that was like that

[arniejnr1990]

fucken hell he is 1 stronger motherfucker...well done mate

[BoxFreshNikes]

"I LIKE IT"

[artaflabiz]

what is around is waist if its not a big fuckin strap belt and is back gets round after first rep strong hands medium back

[kakekomuka]

that old fart is so cool! :D

[sapothedude]

The great fellas! =D

[MrTazz1000]

Its not till u start weight training that you can really appreciate these guys. 350 made to look easy and the grip strength is un believable!!!!

[bigtimanugga]

you cant not like this guy hes great, i shook his hand and mine disappeared

[MrTazz1000]

@bigtimanugga i shook geoff capes's hand once and omg lol ive got big hands but i just about managed not to wince

[bulldog530]

Mark Felix is one of my all time favorite competitors. Strong as a fucking ox, and you know he will bring every ounce of intensity.

[Arnold1nspiration]

Fuckings strong

[Elreypachuco]

Form is a little weird. The movement isn't very smooth or controlled on the lift or on the descend.

[deanP382]

Same amount of reps as bolton did in training

[OliverWilliamson1985]

@deanP382 I've watched Andy pull 380 x 5 and faster than that. Not sure when you're refering to 350 x 5 but thats certainly not his best.

[IceStoneCold]

excellent. wasn't even failure either.

[menace3000]

Awesome.

[powerman983]

well done

[deeathlete]

He's locking his knees out to early...he's pulling with all back....he's doing a rdl sldl. If he used his legs more he could lift even more.

[Myself0101]

...and how much do you do?

[howcanthishappentome]

@deeathlete

Many people deadlift like this its just how they feel more comfortable. Don't you think they tried using more legs they have been training for 15+ years.

[estanuk]

This guy is a monster, some serious strength!

[elprimerhombreyo]

wow

[cabalofdemons]

Nothin but respect. This is real deadlifting

[mrolympia2times]

No Strap ? Don`t worry .

He is very Strong Deadlifter and Who has very Strong Grip Power .

[aks73]

fucking phenomenal. i love watching this guy deadlift.

[Sicilian239]

one of the best deadlifters in the world and he aint young either lol

[GripTrainer]

Solid!

[zulu2829]

i like mark felix, this guy always try his best in strongman.

his grip strength is amazing and has raw power in abundance.

its a shame that he hasn't mastered some of the other events in strongman comps.

i hope he gets better.

[soccerplyr8898]

Yeah that's some crazy grip strength shown right here, impressive.

[Goodfoot101]

respect m8

[TheEskimosPantry]

Wow. North of England produces some great deadlifters for some reason.

[muscleturtle]

pure monster

[hibill12]

um wow, 770 for reps with no straps, this guy has got Grip strength like no one else, except maybe magnus

[titusax]

Very nice, all really clean a pause inbetween each rep and do'in 770lbs, awesome!

[polkapete]

beast

[nb6rz3]

respect totally

[doubleyolkman]

Easy for Mark!

[jigglyfidda125]

strongest man in the world

[freedomsoldier187]

he has not won the title yet, don't come out with bullshit claims, he's strong, but not close mate

[ayebygum]

a little defensive - dont you think

[raikkonen85]

just watching WSM on tv, mark felix in the qualifier deadlifts did 7 barrels like 20 seconds faster than the only other man in his group to get to 7 barrels. what a player!!!!!!

[metalmania81]

what a fucking beast

[rehwwe]

class

[svenljuna]

Impressive!

[mikeyburger1]

well tbh, not amazing from, but spose thats just how stright ya back is, it depends on the person, who cares its only deadlifting, this is great, GOOD ON YA MARK!

[madmike4898]

hes got all the strengh , he just needs the technique perfect like marius at WSM . he is new to this stuff and is still learning

[Shadapaga]

thats still alot of back it looks more staight leg than correct.

[rjpe99]

who says thats not correct?????? This guy pulls 900lbs - I would say his form works well for him!

[rjpe99]

Actually - it is all about the numbers you put up if you compete in a strength sport like powerlifting or strongman. I think you need to get a clue here dude. This isn't some guy that is deadlifting for fitness purposes - this guy's ultimate goal is to move as much weight as possible.

[Oversizeweasel]

not if ur a strongman

[fitnessmies]

@rjpe99 just because someone can lift a weight up, doesnt meen he has the right tecnique, thats a straight legged deadlift, very few person that dont damage the lower back L4-L5 vertebra with that tecnique. And thats a fact!Good tecnique is when you lift a weight with the minimal risk of injury.

[dcheng115]

@fitnessmies his form is fine... you can see that before he lifts, his knees are bent, so it's definitely not a stiff legged deadlift. and secondly, when he lifts, his shins are more or less perpendicular to the ground (the bar basically slides up his shins), so the risk of a lower back injury is minimized.

[fitnessmies]

@dcheng115 watch?v=DhwsCCtsaDk&feature=re­lated

[rehwwe]

flippin awsome

[softybear13]

When HE says one more.....dont trust him.....he means more like 5 more!!!! lol watch this guy mature over time...his 'fairly' new to this...an awesome lifter of natural power.truley great representing the uk.

[PhilM662]

I agree, he is something else. did about 900 just the other day at MSG.

[BLOODxSWEATxTEARS]

Philm662, I was at MSG that day and it was fuckin sick. No one at all is better at deadlifts than this freakshow. He is something else!!!!!!!!!

[PhilM662]

I agree. Unfortunetly I didn't get to go, but I heard the same thing about the MSG performance

[BLOODxSWEATxTEARS]

i live in NYC so it took me like 5 minutes to get there ya know

[iamalwaysr1ght]

mature over time? he is 42, how much more maturing do you want?!

[softybear13]

how do you i was talking about his age friend??? mature over time = strength levels over time.

this guy IS getting stronger day by day. his got plenty more in the tank.

[fckingtony]

Imagine if he started out earlier he probably could've written himself into the history books as strongest man alive. So much raw power it's scary to think he only just started out in the sport.

[ohbabycarpediem]

he has always had form that looks a lot like he's doing RDLs. so strong

[threewhitelights]

I'm not sure how long mark has been working with alan, but goddamn it shows...

[ShadowWorks]

Mark you are probably one of Hercules descendant , you have the power of a Titan!

[160gbhdd]

ok mark did 400kg congrats.Now we know.If only hed go for his max.

[szwarz]

Was that an overhand grip as well? Couldnt see the right hand to well.

[nwmrkt]

it was a over/ under grip

[forum37]

would love to see mark felix vs andy bolton in a deadlift comp,

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

mark is a very promising strongman and i look forward to seing him in the future strongman events on tv

[160gbhdd]

Lift 461kg then u can say uve got the strongest back in the world and make a lot of money on american tv

[160gbhdd]

his max is 390 not world class but good 4 strongman

[160gbhdd]

Repping is a good way 2 look good.Lift 400 then were talkin.

[FatVegLifter]

Yeah, because an 858 lb. deadlift is somehow nothing compared to 880 lbs., right?

Seriously, this isn't football. Leave the armchair athlete calls somewhere else. Felix is an excellent deadlifter, and the dude is getting stronger every year in his early 40s. Give credit where it is due.

[molnes]

Turns out he just did 400, rather easily as well i must say.

[160gbhdd]

if he did 420kg that would b 3 times bodyweight

[catfidle]

good to see an improvement in technique at last...

[clearlyasexyboy]

no straps as well!!! wtf!!!

[thearm101]

scary back strength!Ive pulled 250kgs before for 1 rep..considering his height which i think is about 6ft4 same as me,makes it even more impressive.Makes me wanna go and lift some heavyass weight.haha..Go on son!

[vuelta95]

Awesome, top drawer lifting.

[F1205TY]

hes a beast dude, hes a beast

[bigshane54]

awesome... just awesome...

[KBCThird]

"Felix learning the correct way to deadlift from Alan and the guys at Adlington." Besides moving his stance in a bit, what did you change about his form? I'm just curious becasue mark's form never struck me as "bad" just unique

[rfbooth]

We (well, Alan) moved his stance in, as you say, hands in quite a bit too, start position a little back (further from shins), work on pushing knees forward in the start position and driving with the legs to get it moving. He tended to stiffleg weights up, which is ok if the bar starts high but was limiting him off the deck on a conventional bar.

[bagzie]

Mark is definately one of the best deadlifters in the world!

[JPVeganPower]

Fantastic work man!

[MillsyJ]

Great deadlifting Mark, couple in the tank too!

[SugdenBarbell]

Incredible deadlifting!

[Psalm23YHVH]

THIS guy is the deadlift king, much better than Mariuz, keep em coming thanks

[Hajovi]

The one day i cant get to adders because of traffic and i miss this:(. Great deadlifting mark.
