1000LBS Rack pull, Bar test.

[bonerdust]

Thank god the bar survived the test... Good thing it'll never see half that weight...

[tvyawbus]

not really a rack pull. nice grip but thats about it. i bet 2 years later and you still can't get 800 raw

[edeon231]

really strong .... more impressed by the music tho ... lifting to parkway is the s&%t!!!

[eowdaoc]

good lift but you've definitely got some kind of imbalance going on with your left arm. probably easy to fix.

[iCammm92]

parkway drive in hthe background haha? siqcunt.

[yuppyguitar1]

Is this a basement home gym? Looks like a real gym SHOULD look.

[NB4L]

i thought the weight had to be set just below the knees for rack pulls....not mid thigh

[22ImHuge22]

@NB4L You are...this lift was looking all legs, traps and grip...not much back what so ever. Still a shit ton of weight though for a test, well done

[AncientHer0]

Fuck yeah man that's sick as hell and the fact you're playing ParkwayDrive in the background makes this video epic as fuck!

[1y9b9b]

it was only a bar test

O.O

nice

[Gannondalf]

lol i love how so many people criticise this guy when i bet they can only lift like 50lbs

[mhrockstar]

Wow! So many people giving you crap over bad form or not full ROM. Well duhh! It's called rack pulls and your form was great! Stupid 13 year old amateurs.

[MichaelMacAdam]

gripping 1000lbs is the main achievement done here, thats prob harder then doing a rackpull with straps

[cultici]

no straps

[jakubkrcma]

I have a 1,500 lbs capacity bar. Wanna test it? :-)))) Anyway, THIS IS AWESOME. I TOTALLY LOVE HOW YOU DON'T USE ANY CRAP (belt, shirt, etc.). Stay pure, dude, GREAT JOB!!!

[STEELPOT1]

When one supports a massive amount of weight, heart must pump blood into areas of body which are extremely compressed. Working on a "SUPERLIFT" that will get some serious attention...

Yes i love the crush# 3 raban's and hg 350.

Stay healthy, study Physical Culture, get strong and forget the spandex monkeys,juicers, one trick ponys and posers...

[andymerkel]

SteelPot, impressive! 10 years of confidence, then? I watched a couple of your other clips and get the impression that you're a full fledged member of the "Grip Cult". Do you give any merit to the heavy duty grippers? #2, #2.5, #3, etc...? also, what's next for you? 1005?, or trying 1000 from a tiny bit lower position? or holding it longer? have you ever had hand arthritis or do you take preventative measures?

[EuroPowa]

I have gotten strong enough too look good and be a better kickboxer, I dont see the point in lifting 1000lb.

[JimmyD0YLE]

@EuroPowa i dont see the point in being a good kickboxer and looking good

[EuroPowa]

@JimmyD0YLE Being able to kick ass, be healthy and get women, theres a point to that.

[ATERIFA]

are the safety bars supposed to be that high up?

[JSG949]

@ATERIFA no. hes just testing the bar

[BeanoBuzz]

Good job! I just started doing rack pulls 3" above the knee, and I can only do 505#

What is your best DL as of right now?

[STEELPOT1]

Still around...

swamped by a bunch of self-declared fitness experts, spandex monkeys, hardcore aerobic metros, pill pushers, lab rats,gurus, masters, etc.

No matter, lifting heavy stuff for over a DECADE../10 yrs/now.

No injuries..

No suits, no shirts, no belts, or straps...just chalk

Best to all serious lifters...

Pity the rest, who live in delusional world of "knowledge"..

[MerkabaStar]

@STEELPOT1 awesome shit. I would still say be sure you keep your arms straight with no bend. I've seen so many people tear a bicep that way. In any event. Wow. no straps. fucking crazy

[tntkim]

@STEELPOT1 respect man! no straps! i cant even do 450 with that i can only deadlift 405lbs off the floor, rack pulls i am not sure, but nice man!

[RUBAN0606]

i don't understand why the fuck people are complaining about bad form. It's 1000!!!! freaking pounds for Christ sake!

[fogonabomba2]

BAD FORM !!!

[thetrainers12345]

is it me or did he pause the video everytime he did a rep to make it look like hes was doing a sets of reps. by the way very bad form.

[volli56]

bad form but i do agree that it really gives a boost on the strength to help on deadlifts,

[Damnationization]

What do u take? You are not very big but very strong.

[agentbobbarker]

I recommend clips ;D the plates almost fell off

[Masculinewrestlernj]

That's power!

[webbyman]

bad form in terms of no pulling lol but seriously strong grip! and strong body! I struggle to hold onto 500lb raw

[STEELPOT1]

Thanks.

This "bad form" is slowly helping me achieve a personal goal of 800lb raw deadlift...

[matklstrength]

@webbyman

not really lol

[webbyman]

@matklstrength well good form but i've always seen rack pulls as slightly pointless.. So bad form in terms of training imo but whatever floats your boat. When I incorporated rack pulls they didn't seem to benefit me enough to do them long term.. rather to falmers walks or deads

[matklstrength]

@webbyman

rack pulls are used as an assistance exercise for improving your deadlift lockout, so yes they are pointless if you do not have a problem with your deadlift lockout, but if you do then they are an essential exercise to do.

[rmsolympic1]

@matklstrength Does it matter if they are done above the knee, or should they be below the knee?

[matklstrength]

@rmsolympic1

like i said, wherever your sticking point is, i'd go just below that. but you only need to do this if you're dl'ing and you have a sticking point thats above your knee.

[rmsolympic1]

@matklstrength Makes sense.

[IronWolverine1973]

true strongman training.

[quathar]

There seem to be a gathering of morons here.

Nevermind them, sir, strong pulls and the bar seems to be holding up just fine. ;)

[STEELPOT1]

Right, bar is not pulled from the rack. !?

[STEELPOT1]

Another purpose of the Rack Pull is to test the barbell...

[STEELPOT1]

Yawn...

[poop12155]

not exactly a perfect rack pull. but you had no belt and it was 1000lbs so great job man

[powabuilda]

Great lift! What do you pull from the floor?

[BUFNITIASPULANGAT]

you could tear your bicep tendon on the supinated arm, that's not pleasent and not pretty

[Reindrich]

Owkay, great weight no doubt about that. But your technique is disturbing.

[STEELPOT1]

Correct, watching 240lb person, lift 1000lbs without straps in any "technique" is disturbing :0.

Myself can't sleep at night ...

[STEELPOT1]

Back to pilates...spandex monkey!

[MewtwoShadow]

That bar is way above knee level. But it's 1000lbs so i have to still give you credit! Awesome Stuff!

[STEELPOT1]

Thnx.

[tselegala]

there you go! finally someone who has real strength! Not a strap wearing wimp! I have a disgust for straps. i pull 900 like this but i haven't done in a while it should be more now.

[goodtimes616]

straps are ok if you dont overuse them and/or neglect your grip training. Personally, I dont use them for rack pulls and avoid using them for deadlifts but they are a must for heavy BB shrugs.

[hungry5768]

@goodtimes616

Same here

[ChiTownBallin2]

FLAWLESS! you are a force to be reckoned with. i'm impressed with your core strength. keep it up!

[CptHappyP4nts]

that was pretty sick, but it seemed like you had the bar a ways above ur knees, im not trying to bash or anything but yeah

[STEELPOT1]

Thnx.

Rack pulls are not deadlifts...

[diskin8]

Yeah but the bar should still be just under the knees, regardless.

[diskin8]

EDIT: But still, props, I usre as hell wouldn't be able to do it.

[masakra333]

kurwa jaka moc,brawo!!!!! jestem pod wrazeniem.

[STEELPOT1]

Jeszcze polska...

Dzieki!

[TheAscendant]

HUGE hands man! That's some awesome core and grip strength, I'm impressed!

[STEELPOT1]

Well...I find your videos SCARY!

Deadlifting bar while the plates are falling off is impressive!

[kaplika]

awesome grip power!!

[soybean70]

grazy grip strength. see you in the ER real soon.

[STEELPOT1]

Thnx.

Heart works harder to pump blood when muscles are contacted...hm

[STEELPOT1]

Thnx.

No straps or strap-ons in my den.

[strongmanzack]

[STEELPOT1]

Not sure who is the maker, but got two of those. Have brass bearings,one chromed other parkerized /green/ finish.

Stay strong!
