Farmer's Bar Deadlifts: Strongman Training

[Jock5tar]

Thumps up for the manly grunting at the end. This is a real man's workout, you lot squealing like pussies lifting your 5lb dumbbells get out the gym!

[triggersprollie]

is that little sister?? i wish my gym played this music,i was goin for a max effort squat and fuckin katy perry came on

[WTFeraz]

@triggersprollie I often wonder if ppl setting the gym playlist have ever worked out a day in their lives , haha

[stu264]

fuck me bro that shit looks heavy

[Scrat455]

I like how your biceps jiggle haha

[aaronalwines]

ive always wondered when u deadlift (and the variations) the banging/bouncing on the weights on floor. does it do anything negative to ur joints/body/system? would love to know

[sycho76]

Yo Elliot great to see you getting back to what you love and not letting a ruptured bicep stop you

[Sw1FtKiiD]

yo elliot could u please help me out? my legs are way bigger as compared to my calves. what can i do to help make them proportional?

[shadowknight132]

@Sw1FtKiiD

Dude that means that you need to train your calves before you do a quad workout. Try doing heavy weight with low reps to absolute failure and beyond e.g. forced reps, negative, partials, and rest pause.

[SwiftKickIt615]

Ppl that dislike this video are probably a little weak bitch. Hopefully you dominant the Strongman comp this year!

[AndthenIwasaBear87]

Pause at 1:02, holy shit

[BlackBrainRevenant]

Monster

[UnluckyShamrock13]

this vid (like all your others) just gets me goin!

[Shab10]

hi, does anybody know where i can buy these farmer bars in Europe?

[DPL503]

That is an amazing display of strength! Good luck I look forward to seeing the rest of the videos!

[So0h]

why so many reps?

[trwtrw3]

damn dude.

[IMBAMafi]

After 0:40 he went super saiyan!

[pacificpitbull]

You look in your element brother

[Athrun000]

is this hanstring or lower back dominant ?

[NJnaturalBB]

@Athrun000 Neither, it's mostly quads.. its basically a squat.

[zaborgthundermonarch]

@NJnaturalBB The movement is mostly hip extension. There is some quads involved yes, and also some hamstring flexion and lumbar isometric contraction, but the glutes are the primary movers here.

[UFCKUB23]

Lookin Lean and Mean Elliott!

[SuperStrong10]

PURE BEAST!

[zzfharmon]

yo elliott,are u gonna compete in the heavyweight class or a lighter weight class?

[MrDanielfication]

your bigger in every vid you put out

[JustElijah]

Good lifts man, makes me wish I had that set-up in my back garden!

[Ghostburn70]

muscle now , major knee issues later in life . ya just cant win !

[LongLiveRock12341]

@Ghostburn70 How is the bad for knees? It's not even a knee-dominant movement..

[Ghostburn70]

@LongLiveRock12341 i have alot of family that was into weight lifting back in their day. My father almost made it to the olypics in college, forget what year , now they are 50+ years and have knee pain attacks when standing up. although its not a knee-dominant movement, this man is standing and when he lifts that weight its not the muscles he is using to lift it that are supporting his stance. same thing with life long runners and many other athletes, people age.

[OMFGWTFBBQLEET]

Now I see why your traps are like mountains

[666Grifi]

Must be cold in there...



[constillustrus]

hard work,that's what is getting you there

[strengthcamp]

@EliHaynez almost there :)

[strengthcamp]

@Ikehitstina1 no.

[strengthcamp]

@meatz89 they're not "proper dead lifts". they're farmers bar dead lifts. its a strongman event.

[Jtking3000]

Lunk alarm :L

[rigidrider66]

@Jtking3000 No doubt huh? could you imagine doing that at PF they'd prolly call the swat team in ha ha , hey Elliott I was thinkin if you don't want to fuck your floor up you could always put a dead drug dealer on one side and a dead pit bull on the other to use as cushions... just a suggestion , good shit fo sho !

[EliHaynez]

have you been able to get your 600lb deadlift yet??

[seymond2000]

How does this affect my muscles different frm hex bar deadlift?

[darkslientt]

OMG. your one arm is stronger than both of my arms.....

[004spaw]

@MEATZ89 do some research kid.

[meatz89]

those dont even look like proper deadlifts, is barely bending over and using so much leg strength to get it up

[matklstrength]

@meatz89

you do it lol

[zeppelin6601]

A little Qotsa for the tough reps

[Ikehitstina1]

daaamn man, you back on gear?

[malechauvinistxy]

Elliot probably has a fucking high iq..you can just tell by the way someone looks and speaks weather they are intelligent or not.

[FxckCensors]

Light weight baby!

Aint nuthin but a peanut.

[kane123369]

lmfao dude be screaming LOL

[MegaHeavylifter]

was that lifting chalk being bown around by ur fan or snow in florida?

[frosti0408]

YO ELLIOT! i gotta boner

[DjSoro69]

Fuck yeah \m/

[mhrockstar]

@Unluckyshamrock13 LOL. That's the truth! I should've known that....

[FieldBoy111]

yo elliot . thats alot of weight your liftin.

[BucktownStrong]

YO Elliot! When's your next competition?

[pwnagexing]

Fuck yeahhhh!!!!

[UnluckyShamrock13]

THAT'S a War Face!!!!

[ktc510]

DAMN man, you're a friggin beast!

[scoveg13]

How do you train grip strength???!!!

[TheSuperjuggalohomie]

@scoveg13 you buy those things that most stores with a workout section sell that u squeeze in your hands kinda like what anger theropy patients use you'd know it if u saw it

[EraserX]

BEAST!

[TheRyukenhadoken]

what kind of flooring do you use in that gym?

[polarbeach]

@TheRyukenhadoken glass

[cmiller8492]

i sure do like the sound of 45 plates hitting the floor

[killaj29ny]

Elliot is so strong that he was able to change the climate inside his gym 

[TheSuperjuggalohomie]

sounds like he was tryin to go super saiyan

[cmiller8492]

@TheSuperjuggalohomie i think he did on the last rep!

[PranceProject]

Epic fella. Ur a beast. Hope to see u compete

[shurdawg]

Elliot has got to be the biggest / strongest fitness vlogger on youtube. Big J is up there in his own league, but yeah. Elliot is a beast.

[mlbirdinground]

Yo Elliot....thats heart right there!!!!

[ffrob2001]

@mlbirdinground Agreed!!

[Calumrockyoursocks]

Beast

[w0000tttt]

yo elliot.... i see your keeping your line of sight to the front floor, is it best to look directly in front or keep you head inline with your spine looking more to the front floor?

[berryhill88]

@w0000tttt According to some powerlifters, the best position is aligned with your spine, as it is the safest and most natural position. People looking up can really hurt their necks since you kinda start pulling with your neck when going very heavy.

[killerzwad80]

holy fucking shit...

[joker52mlb]

I clicked on this video just to find out what the hell a farmers bar is.

Yo, Elliot! Do you have any further input after your crossfit experience? Any props, or any criticisms of that stuff you'd like to do a video on or something? I was just curious, because the crossfit people I speak with usually have some great ideas as well as some really, really horrible ones.

[boby6]

truly amazing

[jgfergus]

Wow!!

And I thought the two 80lb dumbbells I use for my farmers walk was heavy!

[TunnelVisionAthletic]

Elliot you Beast!

[omreg123]

big ass fucking legs

[misztal2112]

how come you don't hook grip?

[drewzillasaurusrex]

I make it a point to improvise and work out for free. I got two 5 gallon buckets that I can fill up wit rocks. That should do the trick.

[boett43]

Crazy grip strength, is it how many reps you can do in a min for the competition?

[roxskater111]

yo elliott....why do you guys use those clips on the bar instead of regular clips

[linemen77]

Absolutely amazing!. I havent dont a strongman comp. in about a year but seeing you training for one is deff inspiring me to do a bunch of shows coming up!

[Quissoisso]

That's how those traps were built.

[misterRDF]

All I can say is... Holy fucking shit.

[mhrockstar]

Was that snow at :10 - :30?

[UnluckyShamrock13]

@mhrockstar Chalk my man. You know you are at bad-ass wear house gym when there's THAT much chalk flyin' around

[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

@UnluckyShamrock13 I really don't think that's chalk.

[UnluckyShamrock13]

@ihavemonkeysinmybutt you're right...it's probably cocaine. no other way for elliott to lift that much weight

[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

@UnluckyShamrock13 Yeah more likely.

[shaggy2dope666]

@mhrockstar Not in Florida, brother

[HKapollo]

@mhrockstar Dust, highly doubt it's snow in St. Pete, FL.

[1991cupid]

@mhrockstar chaulk...

[dgwear69]

dude... your grip.

[myself36]

does yelling help? serious question 

[DextrosJ]

@myself36

stimulates nervous system.

[TheTrblMkrs]

@myself36 breathing out durring the eccentric portion of a lift allows you to generate more force and makes the lift easier. If you did it the other way, you could black out haha. Yelling also just helps to psyche yourself up and ignore the pain to crank out those last few reps (scientifically proven that yelling/cursing helps to withstand pain for longer periods of time, which is why it's such a natural thing to do when under high stress/pain such as here)

[mizdris]

hey Elliott i see you don t use a belt..what's your take on that?

[rossdonal]

left hand grip stronger then right

[MaaNonu123]

@rossdonal because he injured his right bicep awhile ago

[Grlihi]

That is not workout that is workhard

[genericteen]

intense as fuck champ!

[TgregsFSF]

those looked like weightlifting shoes..wouldnt that put you at a bad angle for DLs?

[HumiIiation]

Motivating!

[yommomalama]

[TeRrOrRiStU]
