IPF Meet: Deadlift 380kg (836lbs) & missed 400kg (880lbs)

[mycheesesteak]

How tall is Martin?

[TheDunkkan]

why are ppl telling Wildauer Martin how to deadlift?

[fighting185]

wtf not even alternating pronated/supinated grip...that's ridiculous!

[SGTcrackey666]

Your using that type of grip? im so impressed.

[googles23m]

wow overhand grip.  thats amazing in itself

[MetalCamelChannel]

Good stuff.

[ZakkPrideAndGlory]

hook grip is the manly way of pulling. that was awesome.

[muzimuzi]

any1 has tips for deadlifts? im currently 150 maxing 380 i wanna get to 400+

[tmright]

lol guys, i think this guy knows what he's doing. If he's not using the reverse grip it's for a reason , and seeing a rounded back (very little) is not uncommon at these high weights.

Form is not going to be perfect at near max weight , is normal.

Guy is tall to it looks, which makes his physique all the more awesome and the lift as well .

[mikewillodea]

Awesome pull with Db overhand. Inspiring for my max DL sesh today.

Keep it up man i'm sure a 400kg isn't too far away for you if not already.

[Arnold91Schwarzi]

is this double overhand without hock? if it is what it seams then u got a crazy strong grip?

[fitzyking1]

@Arnold91Schwarzi His hands are very large because he is 6ft4, meaning he can lock his fingers around the bar.

[feddslem]

Cool with a dubbel overhand grip....:) strong grip :)

[hehayo]

Why do I get the feeling, Mr.Wildauer that you don't have very strong legs? Or it is just me? Not trying to be rude here, just curious. Cause, they don't really look very strong unlike your upper body. (^.^), hey! Don't get me wrong, their strong alright, just, not "very" strong.

How much do you leg press, sir? Sorry, I don't do squats... aahh, I leg press about 350pounds... probably not very impressive. How much do you leg press or squat, sir? Just curious.

-Hehayo

[StarIceRaptor]

If you don't squat yourself, then who are you to question his leg strength? XD

You leg press 350? That's nice. Now try squating below parallel with 350 lbs - you'll find out it's not the same. Go look at Wildauer's other vids; he squats more than 700 lbs.

[pontiac2]

@hehayo leg press 350 is NOTHING.

[billysue2]

@hehayo his legs are plenty strong,leg press is for pussies and 315 lbs is like something my mother would do.

[Arnold91Schwarzi]

he squats 380 kilo/836 pounds not very strong :-)

[HiggsPat]

off course your back is stronger and you are pretty tall and have long legs; but the more you trained you legs the more you will lift.I agree you could even lift more by using more your legs, but like myself it's easier said then done.I like you have long legs and it took me a long time just to train my brain to use them more.You could go for 920 I guess.Good luck !

[kgmac17]

wat is the name of the this song playing?

[DBBMino]

@kgmac17

All That Remains - It Dwells on Me

[deeathlete]

he could lift even more if her lowered his butt and used his legs more...he's doing more of a rdl then a dl....and his back is rounded...

[bigshane54]

no cause my legs are not as strong as my back

[Grensoorlog]

@bigshane54

Take it on board and work on the leg strength cos that's where you're lacking. You've clearly optimised your back strength.

[Spectre426]

Yeah you really can't tell from the video but it probably is hook grip. I try to avoid hook if possible because I value the ability to use my thumbs...

[dibekk]

Actually he's probably using a hook grip, not a regular overhand.

Still very impressive as it hurts like hell.

[Spectre426]

Only way to deadlift, double overhand. If you can't manage it, make sure to work on your grip strength. CoC grippers, blob, Rolling Thunder are 3 great items to increase your grip.

[ComprimisedXInsanity]

Daaaaaamn I would not even think of fighting this beast. He could flip a car over if he wanted to.

[TwinkieStampeder]

Thats some sick grip strength with both palms facing down

[luthmhor]

Lol i was about to say the exact same thing.

[EdoMuslic]

How old were you when you did this lift?

[luthmhor]

He was 19 or 20, Im thinking close to 20 but still 19.

[WestBoroughChurch]

why didnt you follow through with the 400kg? it looked like you had it in you. i realise your back may not have been strong enough to keep good form but i still think you could have pulled that off at the risk of hurting yourself

[mistryman112]

Nice

[shahzeeq]

Very nice!

[entwisenva]

Hook on man!

[BluRR666]

so you are competing for IPF?

me too :D at the same day i was on swedish champions,

how far from world record in Deadlift are you? in Junior

[HalifaxHercules]

Should stop using the hook grip and start using the "over under grip".

If he used the "over under grip", he would definitely Deadlift over 900 lbs. easily.

[bigshane54]

what a crap... I can hold over 900lbs in the hook grip. at that time I couldnt blame it on the grip, I have to blame my lover back. cause it was not strong enough for 400kg!!!!!

[ocpowerlifters]

@HalifaxHercules

If anyone has to say anything about hook group... tell that to Brad Gillingham....

[lebaneseforcesWB]

give me your lower back!

[Cenyon]

Amazing lifts!

[5144dude]

That is a double overhand deadlift. And no it is not a world record. Brad Gillingham has deadlifted 880 pounds double overhand.

[Grbac123]

Wahnsinns Leistung. Bist du bei der Österreichischen Meisterschaft am 4.4.09 in Imst dort?

[joeschmoe2003]

Even a 380kg deadlift is impressive, I myself can barely even deadlift 120kg.

[BarbarianInvasion]

Beim letzten Versuch sieht es so aus, als ob dein Rücken krumm wär. Vielleicht da mal mehr drauf achten und die Schultern zurück ziehen.

Ansonsten: Weiter so und meinen Respekt hast du!

[zitronenquark]

WEnn du jetzt noch explosiv, ausdauernd bist dann wirst du der nächste DOMINATOR denn drucksau bist ja. HAb gesehen was du mit den steinen gemacht hast (zeit) geil...Travis Ortmayer machst weg ;-))))

Geh allein an start.....ohne manschaft.

Dich beobachten mehr als du denkst....lach "gib gas"

[darock420]

Double overhand...what a fuckin beast!

[rugby121]

hook grip

[darock420]

Who fucking cares? Point is he did it...

[rugby121]

Ugh cos it would be a wr double overhand.

[notjustin]

you got the weight up through the hard part. i say you lost grip because you did you not use the mixed grip

[goldenroll]

Nice, did you do that with an overhand grip? because if you did then I just have to say, BEAST!

[softy74]

Light weith babe!!!!

[habsfan4093]

nice form

[696TheDon696]

150 kg? bench i can do that wtf

[rugby121]

I think he only took 1 light atempt on the squat and bench to save himself for the deadlifts. He has a 240 bench in his profile anyway.

[stigmatus1986]

Very strong!!!

[stumaggoo]

nice grip

[bigbruvaluv]

Hey there brothA!! that was an awesome lift and with hook grip?! too strong for me that's for sure!! you remind me of a young Brad Gillingham.. the look, height and even the hook grip!! anyhow i hope you get that IPF title 1 day

all the best and God bless

[ABCDEFR]

How tall are you Wildauer? Just wondering! I'm 16 and training strongman and hopefully within the next two years I should be able to get up to 800 lbs. Good luck in the future to you though!

[danielddavies]

bill kazmaier can rep that weight

[bigshane54]

I can also do it for reps, now. hahaha

[BigBurns60]

strong grip bud

[kraftsportNO]

I have put in the video interview with you as a video response to this video! All the best for the future and train hard. We are very excited to know how you are doing! :D Looking forward to see you crush that 400kg deadlift! I am sorry about the delay about part II in the video-interview. Part III will be out soon. Thanks again for your tremendous effort. Many other lifters appreciate this. You can tell from all the nice comments on your interview! Stay strong Mr. Wildauer!

[grambo22]

Awesome lifts, strong grip, tight form, good luck in the future to you.

[BalkanElvis]

Super Leistung! Weiter so! Warum gibt es denn seit einiger Zeit keine neuen Videos von dir?

[powerac200dbp]

impressive lifting.was surprised to see the hook grip but still good.good luck in the future

[Deutschland8806]

You have some really long legs. Your center of gravity is so much higher ehh such a disadvatage to over come but obviously not a porblem for you. To bad you Austrian and not German ^_^ haha just kidding but all the luck in the future.

[jeghedderthorbjorn]

cool

[strongi]

sauber Martin Gillingham! ;-)

[460738]

Good luck the 01 june, you have good events you'll be the winner.

[nikkolodien]

Klasse Lied . The Kids arent all right.

[MilliNox69]

Moin Martin!

Wirklich schade, dass das mit den 400kg nicht geklappt hat... habe dein Log leider nicht mehr verfolgt und gerade erst gesehen, dass es nicht wie geplant gelaufen ist. Aber mit Sicherheit schaffst du es beim nächsten mal ;)

Gz,

MilliNox

[lutonmale1983]

Do you use the weightlifting 'hook grip' for deadlifts?

[bmullne1]

Damn. . .I feel like a pussy with my 350 lb. deadlift now.

[szupinglee]

Hard to imagine anybody using the overhand grip and not the strong grip dealing with this kind of weight. You have some strong hand and forearm.

[NorbPwn]

hook grip

my thumbs hurt watching that

[pompeybodybuilder87]

chinwaggler....get some raps on those hands man and start lifting some heavy ass weight on those deads

[Riaz125]

how much do you weigh?

[chinwaggler]

nice :) when i deadlift, it seems that i'm not limited by my back or hams, but by my fingers. I just can't seem to keep hold of the bar long enough to complete my 8 reps. any tips?

[jphadden]

Hey, can I have one of your legs. I'll cut in half and make two new ones for myself.

[HalifaxHercules]

Great time at a 400 KG Deadlift.

If we used an over-under grip instead of a hook grip, he would have nailed a 400 KG Deadlift easily.

Excellent show nonetheless.

[bigshane54]

again: no the problem wasnt the grip- the grip was excellent. the problem was that my back was too weak for 400kg. just a weak back...

regards

[jumar1281]

you're definately not weak by any meaning of the word... mad respect

[CleverDjembe]

I was also wondering why didn't just make things simpler for himself and use a mixed grip. Would probably have lead to a bigger lift.

[bigshane54]

again: the grip is perfect. I can lift the same weight with the hook grip.

I use the hook grip cause its better for the biceps, the back and to avoid great tensions in my back, my shoulders and my neck.

[imon61]

Wow, strong overhand grip!

[Ruhlii]

Amazing grip..

[beisaaa]

wutang are u fucking dumb?! 330 KILOGRAMS...

[P22sh00ter]

150kg (330 lbs)

He's right.

You're an idiot.

[beisaaa]

k he has a video with a 240kg bench... so more than 330 pounds stfu ftw

[beisaaa]

holy crap lol... i weigh 165 and i can only deadlift like 275... ur doing like close to 3 times ur weight?

[Rumbaar]

Fuckin' awesome lifts! You've got the grip, which is good.

[drago5757]

pretty impressive deadlift!

[WUTANG826]

im really suprised he only benched 330 not saying its not great but...a couple kids in my high school can do that he looks way stronger

[IsitCAUSEimASIAN]

Yeah, you're right. only 330? this guy's huge.

[bigshane54]

haha I can do about 600lbs in the bench press. at the competition I dit an easy attempt of 660 in the squat and an easy raw attempt of 330lbs in the bench press. I just did 1 attempt in the squat and the bench press...

look at my other new vids. you can watch a video of an easy attempt with 240kg (528lbs).

wait till 25th of may, 2008...

regards

[IncHulkLover]

600 bench?! WOW!!! Dude, U R INCREDIBLE!! The most amazing thing about yer 836 & 880 lb. deads is that U didn't use any straps! Yer forearms must be WAY powerfully built!! Way to go! U have a new fan in me!!!

[namrahnotyal]

sorry, i wrote that before i read ur previous comment to someone else about ur grip and what not, good job the on the lifts though man, keep going

[bigxshawn]

really impressed with the hook grip.

Dead lift weren't shabby either.

[frankatwestern]

wt class?

awesome pull, 900lbs very soon!

[badbfg]

Very nice vid, isn't this a normal grip World Record? I have never seen anyone pull 380 kilos or higher without straps or mixed grip...

What age did you start training?

[namrahnotyal]

he deff would have gotten 880 if he used a normal grip, still impressive none the less

[bigshane54]

no... my back was too weak for 880 not the grip...

[alideutscher]

geiles video, geile musik, unglaubliche leistung wahnsinn kann kaum erwarten die 400KG zu sehen!

[rander9893]

He is using a hook grip, which is were you grab the bar by wrapping your fingers around your thumb.

[briannakk]

Super D duper! And like others here I have no idea how you're doing that with the overhand grip!!! Awesome! I came here to get inspiration as I struggle toward 500. Thanks!!

[repeatoffender82]

impressive double overhand .. crazy

[runnerbaba]

TIER, einfach nur TIER

[flobli]

Ach du dicke Fresse! Die 360 sehen aus, wie bei mir die 160... ;-). Und dann noch mit Obergriff.

[123daniel123]

geil!!!

[benchmonsteraustria]

Gratuliere nochmal Dicker, war ein lässiger wk.

auch die Videobearbeitung ist obergeil!

chr.

[mahdismp]

hey sehr gute LEistung man

nächstes mal die 400 *daumen hoch

denk dran Körpermitte TIGHT

und nicht zu lange unten bleiben wegen der Atmung^^

[kraftsportNO]

Mr. Wildauer,

excellent job! And without a mixed grip! Incredible! 400kg will be yours in the near future! It is only a matter of time! Keep working hard!

[tjmuller]

Yea, you could have easily locked 880 w/ a mixed grip. Why don't you use it!?

[bigshane54]

no I would had pulled the same weight with a mixed grip. the grip was very good and I can hold a lot over 880lbs by using the hook grip but at that day my back was a littel bit too weak for 400kg.

[Clintsmith721]

true man but still an amazing lift im 16 years old and my deadlift is 500 lbs. (not sure how many kg.) but i struggle at anything more because my back simply cannot support the weight, but once again great lift and keep it up.

[desembodic]

why didn't you used mixed grip?

[inzergear]

Double overhand?! You're a freak, bro.

[KO421]

Great job man!

[tigerak02]

nice job

[achilleus1]

awesome, good job!
