Svend Karlsen Deadlift 270kg, 320kg, 370kg (815lb) x 3

[MrJoffe95]

@aaronalwines ronnie coleman is a powerlifter too... just sayin

[SmexyPC]

EASY

[tacosamurai9999]

it's funny how no one else dares to lift anything when hes in the houseXD

[sonari2]

What he shout at 1:53? Bus? Or what? :D

[nojokenygren]

@sonari2 He is saying easy in Norwegian

[jiyanwr]

OST!!!!!!!!!!

[nojokenygren]

He is a true Bayking

[tom88cba]

in an interview i read of svend he said he did 400kg x 3 at one point in his life!!!!!

[ImTheDude909]

Wow....I officially feel like a pussy....

I just started taking care of myself n can only do 230 pounds at the most.

[MrMadmardin]

Ronnie coleman, a massive bodybuilder can do 800 lbs twice. This guy is stronger than ronnie coleman, thats crazy.

[tomda21]

@MrMadmardin

yep! but remember that ronnie is a professional bodybuilder, and sven (was) a professional strongman!

but i know, its crazy!

[SatanusGlorious]

@MrMadmardin 2 completely different strenghts.

[SatanusGlorious]

plus, you cant really compare a strongman to a bodybuilder.

[Rodintube]

The real THOR!

[ImTheDude909]

@Rodintube seriously fuck that little tiny ass one on the movies.

[SatanusGlorious]

Its funny, how everyone that finishes a heavy pull has to walk quickly away, like they got some place to be, only to walk 10 feet, turn around and do it 1 more time xD

[mksr92]

@SatanusGlorious Thats because it feels great to move the legs just after they worked so hard. You get the blood circulate

[muzimuzi]

@mksr92 i do that a lot to lol now i know why

[Drewzker]

If deadlift had been a standard WSM event Svend might have been a little stonger in it... Strong enough as is obviously! I think I saw standard dead lifting used at a WSM one time, and on that occasion Phil Phister opted not to partake as he had a lead and didn't want to mess up his back. lol

People like Koklyaev and Benedict Magnusson go to the Arnold every year where dead lift is huge, so perhaps they focus on it more. Benedict is the world record deadlift holder btw.

[muzimuzi]

Is that darth vader doing deadlift =p * EAAASYYY *

[Feon2]

@HereisNathaniel I don't remember why LOL

[Feon2]

@HereisNathaniel Well, of course Svend is a lot stronger then both Johnnie or Ronnie, lol

[krakistophales]

I love the common sense way he plans his lifting with..."I feel strong today, so lift more". Feel shitty? Lift less.

[celsofonsecazipp]

3 guys cant deadlift

[xabcx]

he kinda sounds like russel crowe.

[InFlamesAddictive]

I assume that Magnus is on this viking dvd?

[Norway01]

I cant believe there is no music playing.

He should be listening to Amon Amarth - Runes to my memory. :)

[andreacentofanti]

Non è il peso in sè (comunque notevole)... ma la facilità d'esecuzione a colpirmi come un calcio nelle palle!

[albertaberg]

ingen reimer. jævlig imponerende

[nd0ne]

@GermanicPrussian mikhail koklyaev

[GermanicPrussian]

@nd0ne CLOSE, but no cigar, maybe savikas.

[needabloodyname]

@GermanicPrussian Koklyaev has done 415 without straps and with double overhand grip

[needabloodyname]

@GermanicPrussian you are accusing Koklyaev of using fake weights? There is a video of him pulling 415kg in a competition. Svend is strong no doubt but I'm just giving you straight up facts here dude.

[GermanicPrussian]

@needabloodyname chill dude. Are you holding his cock too? do you date him. Obviously he' doesn't use pseudo weights...but Mikail isn't the strongest around. There are a few stronger.

[needabloodyname]

@GermanicPrussian  why did you have to mention gay shit? Obviously it was playing on your mind you fag.

[gman1876]

@GermanicPrussian germanic did your uncle die yet you faggot

[Feon2]

@GermanicPrussian I would say that Mihail is the 7th strongest man ever, and the 2th strongest man of modern times lol

[GermanicPrussian]

@nd0ne yeah, your right.

[ifkgbge]

what muscles you gain in Deadlifts?

[Eluass123]

@ifkgbge the muscles you can see through his loose shirt

[Jur0]

@ifkgbge Main muscles are your back muscles and legs, but u get benefits in 70% of your body.

[MultiTrollHunter]

Damn, i thought my best of 200kg was good!!  HOLY shit

[Sortin87]

The King of Deadlift!

[fububrian]

@Sortin87 how can you make him the king?? many out there deadlifting more.. misha just made 3x400kg raw??

[Henzzman]

@fububrian KK deadlifts even more than mischa and that guy.

[fububrian]

@Henzzman I know, he is also a FUCKING Crazy Russian :D some BAD ASS Liften from all of them though!

[chaa94]

VIKING POWER YEAHH!!!!

[hedgehog66]

And look at those americans struggling with 820 in powerlift meets. Svend does it 3 times with ease. 

[Feon2]

@hedgehog66 I really don't understand that. That guys do five trillion pounds on bench and squat like it was nothing and in the deadlift they lift like 750 pounds. Maybe bench and squat are more technical movements and deadlift is more "brute strenght".

[WargeMaster1]

what a dapper seriously strong and sounds like a nutter!!!!

[hellsweethell]

does anyone still wonders why the vikings used to kick the worlds ass back than if you see one strong... "man" like this? No posing, no half naked training only to get big muscles but real strength... impressive!

[jonen9494]

"KING OF DEADLIFT IS TURNING BACK"

You gotta love karlsen

[goldtogreysmoke]

true beast

[muzimuzi]

this guy is HUGE

[trnaja]

YES!

[IIrond]

lol, ronnie coleman is nothing compare to this

[pwnedmasterx]

@IIrond u have much to learn...

[krautstampflsepp]

@pwnedmasterx y ? coleman is a bulked up roided BB, who screams like a whore while anal sex, and lifts 360 for 2 ugly reps with straps. and this fellow goes for 3 (good form) easy reps with 370 bare handed ! who's the winner now ;) ?

[Possimpablee]

@krautstampflsepp in all fairness svend is also roided up:P

[SoundblasterDevision]

@IIrond he does around the same weight so

[ownagexx3]

@IIrond no he aint, ronnie coleman is a bodybuilder, not a strongman...

[iasdhiohqodhqwo58293]

No straps & Dead stop reps .

That is Big .

[vinter500]

SVEND IS AN ANIMAL!

[femstorakatter]

I love how the others watch xD

[Nilli4rock]

I was kicked out of my gym yesterday because I did deadlift, which caused me to take about all the plates in the room (ca 150kgs), everybody stood and watched, pluss I dropped the weight when my straps tored :-P

[Theycallmemrmoscow]

@Nilli4rock

Cheap ass straps ;)

[MultiTrollHunter]

@Nilli4rock Literally nobody in the world cares about your bullshit story

[Nilli4rock]

@MultiTrollHunter obviously you do by replying. loser

[MultiTrollHunter]

@Nilli4rock no, i care that you are taking up space on a true pro's video with your crap

[Skierfe]

@Nilli4rock haha? im sorry if your trying to brag though, cuz 150 kg isnt THAT much.. and straps? The first time i tried deadlift out i lifted more than that... Why did you get kicked out because of that anyway? Anyhow... Svend is a great strongman and one of my favourites :) Damn, 370x3 is no joke! Heja Norden!

[Stianlolz]

samhaghjoo, I promise u that he knows what hes doing. If he knew that hes technique was bad for his back then he would have lifted different. But his back is so strong that he wont get problems.

And by the way, look at many other strongmen, they have not the perfect technique in deadlift, but some of them can lift up to 400kg.

[xismxist]

he did it on a swedish training camp, early 90's

[segra793]

Viking blood.

[samhaghjoo]

I don't claim to be able to lift anything near what he lifts, but the execution of his deadlifts are really poor. I'd be surprised if he hasn't had at least one severe back problem in his weightlifting career

[010mikey]

@samhaghjoo exactly. Look at all heavy deadlifters and they all have their backs rounded but they're also arching the fuk out of their backs to prevent injury as well. You just can't deadlift heavy without a bit of rounding.

[MrBill270]

awesome lifts

[xismxist]

Swedish wrestler jalmar sjöberg can dead lift 375, karelin can dead lift 400 kg 3 times with ease

[craik62]

fat pussy

[freedomsoldier187]

HEEASSSSY

[treetoptop]

Super strong Svend and a hell of a nice guy. He always has time for friends and fans, he is the real deal.

[bassshred37]

he usually weighed around 300 pounds(6ft 2) when he was competeing

[Blundering08]

Damn he was strong...unbelievable!

[EliteExtra]

anyone got any idea how much svend weighs?

[theirishneilers]

135 - 155 kg depending whether he was competing or not.

[MrChrisheinz]

Inspiration!

[StigMo3]

im a proud norwegian :D

[brethithard]

It is almost unreal stuff. 150 kgs feels like hell to me...

[Chiparoo22]

There's another awesome feat of strength [Mr.] Karlson isn't being given credit for. And that is the ability to - being abe to eat 'Norwegian' lutefisk ! ! ! Now (that's) a true test of being a (real) Viking ! A few mouthfuls will cause one to growl afterwords as loud as after three 400 kg dead lifts !

[theiloveyouvirus]

Svend is also said to have done a 400kg * 3 deadlift, 400kg * 3 squat and a 260kg bench press. Those weights are impressive

[stjartsmor]

he did 260kgs when he was 23 years old, and back then he was still a bodybuilder, thats pretty good :P. But then he unfortunately tore his chest so he can´t bench that much now :/

[Shitdudeee]

BUSS!

[ariesnr1]

He lift 270kg like it was a bag of potatoes lol

[EliteExtra]

anyone know a website in the UK that sells this DVD? Iv been looking for it for ages...

[adiwhgwiq1309108]

Can`t Deadlift ? Can`t be Strongestman .

[spagnot]

he's still got it

[jtryland101]

this is just stupid... Svend's the man...

[looping021]

and you re just a jackass tryland

[madmax20l]

2003 r

[glueissticky00]

NO suit or anything what a fucking animal

[squat625]

i just met him today!!!!

[jamspastic]

"EASY!!!....."

[villihiiri]

That deep booming voice is so awesome and fit for a big nasty strong man!! :D He truly sounds like a VIKING!!

[Jur0]

@villihiiri Hehe, "EAAZHYY!"

[Ironfanatic]

danielgoesangry- I think ronnie meant seeing another bodybuilder dieting and 3 weeks out a comp deadlifting the same weight as him. Still you gotta admit ronnie is probably the strongest bber . Of course no match for svend in terms of strongman challenges.

[ofnair]

Superpower!

[delstevo1]

no he didnt wear a suit go and watch it ,but he did use straps.and ronnies cool

[maqnuz]

VIKING!

[delstevo1]

ronnie was 5 weeks out from the olympia when hes feeling not as strong.i think he meant he wanted to see another bodybuilder do the same thing

[DJBouncey]

delstevo1. What are you talking about?

[Feon2]

@delstevo1 Well, Johnnie Jackson did 765x2, but he did not bounce the bar on the floor like Ronnie did, so that was even more impressive.

[danielgoesangry]

Funny, Ronnie Coleman deadlifts 363 kgs twice and says, "I wanna se somebody else besides me trying this" in this vid Svend is doing 3 reps att 370 kg :D :D

[lilsuperman87]

Ronny Coleman and lifting should never be mentioned in the same sentence. LOL! (Not dissing you, just saying) I agree with you, my friend.

[Darksteez]

Remember, Ronnie is a "bodybuilder", not a "strongman", "powerlifter" or an "olympic lifter". People should not get the four mixed up as they are all different. At elite levels, competitors in all four disciplines are all strong as fuck. Stop making stupid comparisons!

[sprayblob]

Grattis till Let's Dance vinsten Magnus!! :-)

[driftvolvo]

please dont kill us

[mroni2008]

Roid Rage!

[freedomsoldier187]

I'm doing 260kg for 1 rep, and its almost killing me, mind you I'm an alcoholic who has been training for like 6 years, maybe I'd do it easier if I wasn't an alco, but seriously wtf he did it like he was lifting nothing.

[TheKingClem]

Svend is a beast

[Blammo777]

Incredible

[denzol86]

Good video this guy is bloody strong, Heavy lifts true power

[CHRisoklart]

haha the whole gym on stopping up to se him do the 370 deadlift HHAH

[CatoWadel]

I would too!

[thegrizzly11]

unbelivible!..viking power....NORDEN REGERAR..

[Duffman89detmig]

NICE!!!!!!

[SwedishVikingPower]

Haha very nice Svend! :)

But he is retired now so this must be an old clip right?

[datfuriouswon]

Yes.. it was made right after winning 2001 WSM. This was from his video "Viking Power". Good video! :)

[lskone]

fy faen bra mark assa

[secuervo]

He is huge. He is scaring the other bars in the gym.
