  • fucking crazy shit!

    

  • Nice Hitch, whats up with the straps?

  • Lol, my brother is 14, and he doesn't go to the gym very often, but even he can deadlift 650lb 4x5

    

  • @fallen0a You are a moron.

  • @fallen0a right...

  • nice!

  • Great lift considering he's not too fat and hopefully drug free

  • @zxtenn I believe this was during his juicing days.

  • @363498 I think it says that lift was in 2009, only he knows the truth but still for someone his size 650 is more than respectable. He took 1st in some power contest i think in FL, for a 200 lb guy he does well, even if he's on something it's not a huge amount and he is very smart regarding knowing the body and muscle function, maybe he is using his brain instead of drugs, do they give drug tests at power events?

  • He's gonna snap ALL his shit up!!!

  • @Tjantele why? because you cant lift half as much as that?

  • @Tjantele theres a difference between traing for buildin muscle like the hodgetwins and trying to build strength, he trains his body to lift heavy and has a belt for protection.

  • @Tjantele how is he guna snap his shit up? he has the strength to do it. so its the same as a guy deadlift who can deadlift 225x2 as his max. the only difference is pressure placed on the spine discs. obv since this is 650 lbs compared to 225lbs. but his body can handle it. kinda stupid what u wrote lol..

  • @Tjantele hodge twins hahahaha

  • jea man you are a real machine, you look better than every fucking bodybuilder, keep going bro

  • Yo Elliott, How can I get my dead lift weight up? I'm 6ft 177lbs and have a 1RM of 325. It seems I have been stuck at this weight for a bit. I can do rack pulls at 355lbs. 1RM. Thanks

  • 0:49 his face looks like Ronnie Coleman O.o Incredible lift by the way!

  • yo elliot. you are a strong dude.

  • @cyspy that isnt true, ive seen 4+ videos of people squatting 1000lbs raw, but NEVER have I seen a 1000lb deadlift raw. The reason for that is: when you get VERY high lifts, you will have a higher bf%, and your stomach will give you padding when you squat and it will make it awkward when deadlifting. The reason some people (myself included) squat more than they deadlift is b/c they do it more often. If the person's back cant handle the squat weight, then they wudnt be able to squat it.

  • @bucchman75 you have never see a 1000lb raw deadlift? look up benedikt magnusson and prepare to be amazed.

  • @bucchman75

    And also it takes an extremely strong grip to deadlift 1000 raw.

  • whats the song playing??

  • Why lift heavier weights than you are strong enough to hold in your hands?

  • @Eighteen87 because often that larger muscles of the back and legs are beyond the strength capacity of a smaller muscle like a forearm, so why train inadequately for muscles that supersede the strength of your forearms/hands? id love to hear back from you

  • @3QuaNiMiTyy Thats understandable, thanks for the explanation :)

  • i haven't really focused in much in my core so that could be it

  • i have a question that no one has ever been able to answer for me. Why is it that my deadlift is about 40 lbs better then my squat? i am a powerlifter at the high school level and this really bothers me because i have an okay bench a good deadlift but a bad squat total.

  • @srsartuche12 u may need to strengthen ur core

  • @srsartuche12 do you have a narrow core?

  • how much u squat? is it normal for a person to deadlift more than he can squat because i do

  • @footballplyer73 It is not normal. How much higher? Usually the deadlift is higher. Assuming you neither use squat nor deadlift suits. Many people have squat and deadlift in the same range. Or the deadlift higher. It depends largely on your body type (assuming proper technique).

  • @TheMarkusScharnowski i deadlift 10 lbs more than i squat and i dont use no suits

  • @footballplyer73 10lbs is not a big difference. I consider that as the "same range".

  • @TheMarkusScharnowski If your deadlift isn't 40lbs+ higher than your squat, your back/posterior chain is weak.

  • @cyspy For many/some that could be true. If you just starting it could be different. If you are professional gear user - the squat will be higher, because squat suits are more efficient. And it also depends on your body type. If you e.g. have very short arms you have a larger range of motion on the deadlift and it therefor gets harder.

  • @TheMarkusScharnowski Newbies are weak, therefore their posterior chain/form is weak. Suits are exempt from the rules of biomechanics. The human body is also generally in proportion, so though some people might have a squat and deadlift that are the same due to special mechanics, it's rare you'll find a (raw) lifter who has a higher squat than his deadlift. If your squat is equal to or more than your deadlift, it is not safe to assure someone it's normal until the reason is discovered.

  • @cyspy Ok, I see your point, thank you for clearing it up.

  • @iLiveLuaghLove Haha if those are chicken legs what would regular or big legs look like you fucking idiot!

  • @iLiveLuaghLove Your just a faggot fuck

  • whats with the hitching?

  • you look a bit like eric lil bridge the powerlifter !

  • Comment removed

  • this guy would be MASSIVE with steroids lol

  • @neilorourke71

    I think I remember him saying or inferring that he was on steroids at this point. Not 100% sure though.

  • are those risto's? If so, how do you like them?

  • you look a lot bigger here

  • was this when you was on the juice.. ?

  • Goodshit! anything lift is possible when eminem is on :)

  • @iLiveLuaghLove Bitch please

  • great job man, solid lifting! for some reason there's a whole lot of haters out there. I never do know the real reason for it, maybe their keyboard warriors are just stupid, or have nothing better to do with their time then to go on other people videos and talk shit to make themselves feel better! Nonetheless, keep that shit up its inspiring!!

  • dude that is raw power man

  • i'm callin' gear on this

  • damn elliot you was big!! lol

  • Why use a alternating grip with straps?

  • @N1earNoutyamama habit!

  • You've admitted to using steroids in the past, were you on the juice when you were pulling these weights? or is it just because you were so much heavier than you are now?

  • how much did you weigh here?

  • such a showman

  • how do you keep your back straight?

  • @iLiveLuaghLove i actually got made fun of as a kid cuz my legs were soo HUGE! like abnormally massive.

  • @strengthcamp

    That's what chicken legs are right? Massive quads!

  • @strengthcamp You're a bitch. Go do some more steroids noodle

  • @strengthcamp pics!

  • @strengthcamp Don't listen to the haters Elliott, you've got legs that every male should strive to have!

  • any advantage to using mixed grips?

  • @Germansbmbperlharbor

    Most martial artists will tell you that the thumb is the weak point of the hand. By alternating the grip you offset the weakness of one hand with the strength of the other. It allows you to pull much heavier weights before your grip fails. I can only pull about 275 with double overhand before my grip goes. With an alternate grip I pull my max of 420 with no straps and feel I could still go heavier without my grip giving out.

  • damn...with good form too

  • beast

  • hows that torn bicep elliot?

  • haha the sound when it dropped is amazing.

  • I bet it was hard getting back up from that bow

  • Why do you have this damn song playing in the background of every video?

  • HAHA!! Criminal by Eminem going on in the back ground. Awesome music choice.

  • ITS OFFICIAL- ELLIOT HULSE EATS HORSE BEEF....! I MEAN HE MUST DO!!.....THE GUY WOULD SMASH THE INCREDIBLE HULK....OR EAT HIM....I DUNO....SERIOUS MENTAL TOUGHNESS THOUGH!!!

  • Elliot, how much do you weigh man? If you are close to triple bodyweight I'm impressed.

  • Sounds like your dropping an elephant on the floor. good job man

  • lol... shiiiit. i was waiting for him to call out LIGHT WEIGHT like coleman does lol good lift man!

  • Portrait of a Godzilla-killa beast @ 0:43

  • Nice job Elliot

  • Great! Real strenght right there!

  • HAHA you fucking crack me up fool! Good shit!

  • nice but you got chicken legs

  • @sinz187

    not even close.

  • wonder if he can still do this even tho hes lighter

  • hahah sweet bro

  • Hey elliot did you play fullback in college and highschool? You look like a fullback.

  • you should enter a powerlifting meet you're strong as hell. reckon you could make 242 class? not sure what you weigh maybe 260.

  • hey elliot, what could i do to help the bottom part of my deadlift? meaning breaking it from the floor

  • how do you deal with severe lower back pain? don't you ever experience it?

  • @buangbatu as with all severe pain mate,stop and rest until its recovered.Start off much lighter than when it began and "slowly" start building up again which won't take very long and include plenty of core/abs training. Train hard and train smart,is exactly that.Its very easy to get over zealous and do damage and severe back pain usualy occurs from lifting heavier than your strong enough to lift or bad form due to been over zealous....peace,experienced over zealous lifter.

  • you are a monster elliot 0.o

  • Whats the name of this song

  • you're one of the few people i've that prefers to use weightlifting shoes to do deads. you most likely use them for squats, too, huh. REPRESENT!!

  • I have a question about deadlifting, so you push through the heels but wich should I do first pull from my back or try to lock out the knees? I know it is a dumb question.

  • @tutunaru neither, you want to extend simultaneously.

  • @strengthcamp What's the max deadlift you can do without straps? Jw

  • @tutunaru you want to use both but as soon as you pass the bar over your knees start pushing your hips forward

  • @coryu711 lol u pwnd him...defranco > hulse

  • boss

    

  • I can haz musils liek yoo??? Jokes aside, that's nuts!

  • yo elliott, any tips on workouts for muscle tone?

  • lol i would kick that weight if i had to do this

  • Yo Elliot! I've read and watched heaps about creatine and know it works and is safe but I'm taking vitamins, Cod liver oil tabs, mineral tabs(zinc/magnesium for stretch marks) and protein shakes and I really don't want to have to be eating sups all day too unless it's really going to make a significant difference. Do you think it really makes a big difference?

  • Now that's a DL!

  • That was one BEASTY deadlift!

  • BEAST

  • Do you use any type of steroid? Or just protein, creatine, vitamins etc?

  • @xKaRmaProductions95 he's all natural just take your vitamins son

  • Yo Elliot! I have a question about weight belts what is your view on them?

  • @FutureFbstar28 I use em when the weight is crazy heavy for me... but only then... almost never in training. I like it more for back squats and over head moves too.

  • @strengthcamp Yo Elliot! You should stay big!

  • What a CHAMP! =D

    I can only do 315

  • @strengthcamp You still think You can Run that 4.3?

  • @lordvoldemort578 nah, those days are long gone! i was 19... that was 11 years ago, aint happening today lol

  • @strengthcamp Oh,lol How long did it take you to run a 4.3 from wherever you were before and what did you do?

  • @strengthcamp Hi I just started doing powerlifting a week ago, is there any good workout regime that you can recommend. And should I do exercises like seated rows cause my back is already pretty big and I don't want it to get bigger just stronger, also I hear that using the machines is only good for bodybuilders and not for functional strength. I want to stay as small as possible i'm 5'10 188 lb and have a little bit of ab definition. Need to stay light due to weight classes.

  • @subatomicparticlephy Definitely stay lower reps if you don't want to pack on much more mass, some machines have they're purpose, but stick to freeweights if you want to powerlift or strongman

  • @subatomicparticlephy id say do chest monday(bench) wednsday back (deadlift) friday legs ( squat) and do 5x5 sets.

  • "Homophobic... naw you just heterophobic" Hahahaha!!!! Eminem thats tight!!!! Sick lift too!

  • @coryu711 you really think he got as far as he did without knowing what perfect form is...

  • @coryu711 you really think he got as far as he did without know what perfect form is...

  • @coryu711 i'm pretty sure he knows that proper form is better than more weight. that's pretty basic, and he didn't get to the point he's at in this video without knowing that. yeah, straps and belts aid a little bit, but honestly it's more for safety than anything. he could have been on a rotation of equipment vs no equipment so that his body had a little more time to recover that week, month, whatever his frequency of deadlifting is.

  • @coryu711 dude post a video and show him how it's done or stfu

  • my top is 600x1 @ 18 years old not bad :D lol eliot is a freaking machine

  • @strengthcamp, really nice video dude, would just like to say you helped me out alot with my deadlifts :) so thanks, but one problem i have is that when i increase the weight im lifting my grip lets me down! Ive started training my forearms more but wanted to ask if those hand wraps your using actually work? I was thinking of buying sum but have a pair of gloves could you tell me which is better please.

    Thank you and good luck with your lifting ;)

  • Impressive man nice work

  • respect for Mr.Hulse!

  • @coryu711 - speaking of 'insecurities' you just revealed some of your own in your response. Like calling him an arrogant child for not accepting the advice of an internet nobody on how to get strong. Its a sign that you feel belittled by him. Maybe because you know never in your life will you get anywhere near his strength level. And secondly your cursing reveals feelings of outright jealousy for the following of young people he might have. Probably because you don't have jack following you..

  • I've been lifting a few years but I've never put great emphasis on deadlifts. I did them but now its like I want that to be my strongest. Everytime I do squats my knee kills,I'm thinking from a knee surgery I had. Any suggestions on that?

  • @coryu711

    Dude, Fuck Off

  • @coryu711 Post a video of you deadlifting 650 pounds. Then you can have the right to comment on his video like a pretentious faggot.

  • Get work Elliot! Your like an online life coach aswell as a strength trainer, really liked your talks on rebellion etc and training advice, thanks man.

  • Once you get to a certain weight it looks rounded but its not.

  • @coryu711

    lol the man obviously knows what hes doing,

    even if he rounded his back, I'd have no doupt there was a reason for it

    anybody who got up to 650lbs without major injuries obviously knows his sh**

  • @strengthcamp Bahahahahahaha

  • your form is fine. i have seen so many lifts and everybody has to comment on one's form and sometimes the form looks good to me and I have been in the gym for 14 years or so. moreover, i have only seen 1 or 2 other guys in my gym even deadlift. also, most people do not squat either. keep doing your thing.

  • Yo, Elliott, when trying to work up the weight I'm deadlifting, I find I'm the most limited by grip strength. Otherwise, I'm making good progress. I started very light since I went the first 25 years of my life without lifting any weights at all, and in the last year have gone from playing with 60 - 95 pounds while getting form down, to 235. I don't want to start using straps at such a relatively low weight, but my grip / forearm strength isn't keeping up with me. Suggestions? Thanks, boss.

  • @imthamouth duh! if your grip is lagging then you should train your.. GRIP. yes you read that right, you should train your grip!

  • @ozolexil Oh, thank God you're here to help! But...how does one train his/her grip? Should I offer it treats if it does well? If it makes a mess, do I have to rub it's nose in it? i don't know if I have the heart.

  • @imthamouth try switching to a 2' bar for a little while... also you can grab those "Fat Gripz" handles from Elitefts and use those on the bar to add width and increase your grip.

  • @coryu711  pro the man is a professional strongman and strength coach.... whatre you saying

  • @coryu711 ...good point ...but what can ya do when ego over rides everything else...yeah he lifted the weight, good 4 him...but his lifting style and attitude will surely bring back problems in years 2 come...hope not 4 his sake though ...not good to be negative ...dont want to offend .

  • Comment removed

  • @coryu711 dude, what is your problem? Whether Elliott was bein sarcastic or actually asking for help, it doesn't matter, that was a totally unnessessary comment. Not Cool. Anyways, I love watching your videos and reading your blogs Elliott. Great info on a lot of shit. I wish I could do what you do for a living. Awesome stuff.

  • lol @ the lose the straps comments. I bet Elliot has a handshake that would make you and all the males in your family hide in fear, and make the ladies wet.

    It's strongman guys- pick it up off the ground!

  • @coryu711 dude? i was just asking for help... gosh! thanks anyway :)

  • @strengthcamp lol I love your sense of humor. :)

  • @strengthcamp just ignore that bitch he will never deadlift 650 pounds

  • @strengthcamp Cory is beating around the bush, he just wants to know how many cock pushups it takes to become a man!?

  • thats impressive weight, but your form could be better, and the straps and the belt are a crutch, i never workout with either of those, its better to strengthen your forearms and back by just having proper form with less weight.

  • @coryu711 You're just mad cos you're a 16 year old "gym rat" without the gym. Honestly i'd be fucking insulted if some skinny little amateur came on my videos and tried to give me advice on my form.. He does it for a living you dim prick!

  • @coryu711 why you think anyone should deadlift more than 6 plates without a belt is beyond me.

  • @coryu711 i'll bet he can do this without straps and a belt, but maybe he was feeling the equipment that day. not everyone can go raw 100% of the time when they lift. i'm sure that would take a couple years off your lifting career if you did that anyway. i've gotta say his back was pretty damn straight for this weight from what i could see. if you can do this too, that's great, but there are plenty of people that can't. so elliot is WAY above many people who lift (maybe even you?)

  • @coryu711 give him the props. he deserves them. for his career and this lift.

  • @coryu711 u douche

  • @coryu711 i know that everyone else has ripped on you, but i have to say man... everyone uses belts and straps. pro bodybuiders, pro powerlifters, pro strongmen, pro footballplayers, pro baseball players... any of that getting through? PRO'S? lighten up. once you get up to 500 pounds of knurled bar in your hands 1" in diameter it really starts to dig deep into the skin and stretch crucial tendons. i can double overhand deadlift 500 for 3 reps, but i still use straps while training,

  • @coryu711 strengthening with less weight and more reps being done slowly is one way of strengthening but there's also the heavy lifting way... I think both should be used....

  • lose the wraps! strengthen those forearms and do it right!

  • nice job bro

  • incredible strength. i love your mentality, and it has inspired me to start strongman training. thanks mate

  • how does the dead lift strengthen your lower back, u cant feel any muscles there

  • @AmericanGMS LOL NOOB

  • @batuzayaga hahahhaha lol FAG!! STFU and go troll somewhere else

  • FAT

  • Big Boy weight right there.

  • GOOD GRAVY!

    I do 2 reps of 315 $:

  • someone tell me - how does the belt help with DLing or any other workout. What workouts should/shouldnt be done wih a belt

  • @ROLNIKxPL support for your back. from a AMATEUR prospective the best way i could put it is it keeps pressure on your lower back to keep it aligned(???)

  • @ROLNIKxPL ..It helps buy putting pressure on your core and keeping all of your core in tact and your balls as well. Some may argue with me but that's why I wear a belt! It's all metal to. I know alot of people wouldn't even throw on a belt unless 3 plates or more. To your second question, you can wear a belt with anything heavy I always do, even for curls but I only wear it for heavy weight though. Again, It's all metal for me to, just like my wrist straps and knee wraps as well!
