this is why strongman is awesome: just as big (if not bigger) than most bodybuilders, yet the strength is ALL functional, not just for show. 300lb and doing pullups is insane!
@JeanLouie1106 If you weighed 320lb, you'd have a hard time doing chin ups. The fact he is still athletic enough to do them (and box jumps!) is a testament to just how good this guy is.
This are the same exercises as in the medley in competition and almost exactly the same weights .. I thought the athletes don't know that much about the weights being used in the exercises?!
@arpussupra thats what i thought too but from what i heard they know ahead of time the events so they can train for them but i dont thing thats goingto matter can only make it that more entertaining every body else giving it what they got
@killu626 thats the thing its like a secret at what time the strongman comes on tv i think the best beat is to get a tv guide far as on the internet dont know try espn only thing i can think of theres another channel it comes on well two but i cant think of it i think one may be fox sports but i only have the espn channel so only get the world strong man but i would like to watch the others like the arnold
@Strongman424 nothings wrong with his bench. That's a crazy bench. Only 13 men have ever benched 650 or over and less than 60 have benched 600. The difference between 550 and 600 is crazy big.
@Strongman424 i think he had 650 before his pec tear i mean i read that wa his best but i dont know if that was with a shirt or not but he says hes close to the 600 now
@fitzyking1 This is clearly changing. Just check Arnold 2010 videos. If raw power means deadlift and squat, then ok, but if events count, Derek is an unstoppable beast. His dumbell event was a proof of it. He was curling (not cleaning) then pressing that thing at an unbelievable pace.
Impressed with his box jumps at that weight, nice.
