Awesome lift and i wonder if you used a hook grip or not. I use a mixed grip but for some reason it just doesn't feel good like the double overhand grip. But to menage heavy weight like that for more then 1 rep i would have to use a hook grip or straps.
I have read that straps weaken your grip strength so that's why i went to using mixed grip.
@fatgordon Just in case he never see ur comment.... round plates does help ( not on the lift) but on the stance you are using,,, if your plate are octogonal you might no get it at the place you really want the bar to be... Rolling the bar helps to see where is the best angle to lift (( well for me it works...)) but I dont think I can get +1 pound doing that...
The problem I see with many strongmen who don't win the WSM is they are not athletic enough.
Obviously men like terry here are stupidly strong and if most of us could lift half what they lift we would be well happy.
But think of past champions like Jouko Ahola, Mariusz Pudzianowski, Magnús Ver Magnússon and Magnus Samuelsson..... they all had really good aerobic capabilities.
I think a major aspect is to loose the gut and increase the speed.
@deano888888 I think being athletic is just as important as being strong. I'm not sure if you are directing the lose the gut and increase the speed thing to me but I like to think I am one of the fastest strongmen around. I will be the first to admit I have a few spare pounds but have regularly beaten Mariusz on speed events. I think people mistake body types for not being athletic. Z (the current WSM) has a fair size gut on him yet he was winning speed events at WSM for the last 2 years.
@terryhollands Thanks for responding. I obviously understand that with the absolute massive amount of calories a person like you would need to consume for your training, keeping lean in next to impossible.
You mention you are one of the fastest strongmen on the circuit, I'm glad to hear it and hope you don't neglect this aspect of your training. The stronger your heart (trained thru cv), the harder and longer you can train and compete.
@deano888888 i'm not a fan of saying your heart is trained through so called "cardiovascular work" i'd rather call it endurance work. weight training with no "cardio" is most definitely going to help your hearts health. picking up a big weight is certainly going to get the heart pumping. =]
@terryhollands Terry...don't waist your time giving explanations of if is good or not have some gut if people want to see abs and ripped bodies let them go to a Bodybuilding show if they want to see real men lift real weights see a strongman in action...just like you
@deano888888 Just because guys aren't ripped does not mean they are not athletic. There are a few reasons I have not won WSM yet and I know what they are and I am working on them. The main reason being my overhead press which I am working hard to correct. Thanks for the comments though mate and nice to have a healthy discussion regarding things like this!
@GermanicPrussian it is pretty common knowledge i smoke and along with plenty of other pro sportsmen i do enjoy a drink every once in a while this doesn't mean i am not athletic.
Very impressive lift Terry, Hope to see you win WSM this year. Do you have any tips on how to break through any sticking points that you have? It would be great to have some advice from such an experienced lifter...
Hey man Im a 16 year old powerlifter, I just started lifting last year, and im thinking about doing strongman somewhere down the road. Ive got good leg power ( 535 lb squat, 485 lb deadlift) and decent chest (285 lb) so seeing you get big weight like this makes me pumped that the world can share so many great things, and this is my favorite thing ever. Stay strong dude.
It is just over 3 weeks! I will do my best to try win!! I am back on track after a poor year last year! Whether I can win or not is another matter! If I hit my best on every event I will be happy! I just hope my best is better than other people competing!
that's a monster deadlift alone, but without straps... i wanna shake your hand for that, but at the same time i wouldn't really like to!! :D grip like a vice, nice one Terry!
If I was gonna do it I would wanna be good so it would take alot of training! I don't have time to do that at the moment! Who knows though, maybe one day! I have a pretty good Martial arts background so it's not something I would rule out
I used to to Judo as youngster to a good level, I was Kent, Southern area champion and also got a Bronze at the British champs. Mind you was quite a while ago and my fitness is not up to scratch!
that could be fixed your still young enough you would be so heavy terry i dont know who could grapple you ande you got good strength just some wrestling techniques and a bit of all round knowlede and you would be a monster in the cage seriously you should give it thought terry
Great lift! Your twice as strong as me, i think im strong sometimes but not when i watch vids like these ;]

What do you think? hook mixed wrap?
