@XXBruceLee They are adjusting the weight based on leverage. He is away from the car and the apparatus is all way underneath it acting as a giant lever. For it to be 2700 he'd have to have the entire car up on his shoulders somehow and would be squatting almost 3x the world record squat single for several reps.
Did taking the shoes off make the difference? Do they let him compete that way? I use to do my entire workout barefoot because of all the pictures of Arnold doing it that way. Now that I'm old as shit I have to wear shoes. But then again I have really crappy bone structure, particularly in the feet. Obviously Derek has no such problem.
@jasonmacm yes but the engine in a honda accord is in the front, still heavy as hell though, now if he turned the car around it would be even harder, not like he couldnt do it haha
after watching a few of Poundstone's vids i feel safe in saying that anyone who has any records to their names better enjoy it while they can. Derek's gonna reset all of them soon enough.
@fabiolas4 big thanks! the weight is similar to an audi A4 about 1400 kg/3086 pounds, dont know exactly what weight he has on the rack but pretty mutch!
0:10 he moves his foot, moves like that can mess your back up big time, think the angle is wrong hence no second rep, lifting a car and squatting in the gym has to be different, wonder how much lighter the weight is at the top of this lift compared to the bottom (where its much harder to move)
this video is amazing, we can see him failing a couple of times and keep trying, he is inspiring, i'm sure many people will remember him for a long time.
The doesn't weigh 700lbs. The weight of that is 2,700lbs.

@pickelamarsch Yeah but its hard to tell just how much weight he's lifting. Still a ridiculous amount regardless.

The car's suspension seems like it would make it harder to handle when it bounces at the top.
