I always thought my dead lift was weak. But seeing that I'm dead lifting as much as these guys and I'm half their size I don't feel so bad anymore.

Well i see at least 5 world champions there how come your not amongst them ?

[BDFPA]

WTF, Andy dosen't even lift, the title of this video is misleading. Don't get me wrong that was some very impressing lifting by everyone, just a little disappointed.

[Hirepgym]

Its Andy's team training and his in it with them you wont see video of Andy himself training unless you buy his DVD

[webbyman]

Out of interest (I hope I don't get slated)

why do they pay little attention to form?

Admittedly I am nothing compared to a lot of you guys, just didn't understand it..

Is this maybe strengthening the weakness of their curled back so when they do go heavy and keep a straight back they are less likely to injur themselves?

(probably talking A LOT of crap there)

I think the question was answered previously , these are world class lifters not novices learning in a fitness center where health & safety has to apply , no one would say compeditive sport is safe, its not by definition you are pushing the limits higher than anyone has gone before and the rule book goes out the window.

Ah yes, a personal trainer, no doubt he could give a Andy Bolton a few tips... on hairstyles, personal grooming products, etc.

lol mee too!! Bunch of wanabees trying too get a little baby muscle to look good in a bar. I'm the only one does deadlifts too. They even think they are big walking around with their arms wide and their chest filled with air. i feel the stares when i pull heavy...i dream of finding a REAL gym.

tThis video is very motivating to me. 95% of the guys in my gym dont even deadlift or squat all I see them do is bench and do bicep variations. The most I ever deadlifted is 400x2 (no hitching) Im 21, 5ft 9in and 170-173lbs with a skinny-muscular build. Im trying to compete in a deadlift contest at my gym this spring and trying to jack my deadlift up going the natural way. Please please if you can lend me some tips whether its adding any special foods to my diet to doing some secret prayers. Thx

I did Deadlifts this morning. Six sets of 8 reps 180kg. I weigh between 75kg and 80kg.

I couldn't really be sure what these guys were lifting. It looked a bit more, but they were all much bigger men than me.

I never train 1-3 rep range as I tore a hamstring and it has mentally scarred me. I always thought that it was better to train in the 6-8 rep range.

Total respect to anyone who does this exercise. Dread the minute or so before you do the exercise, but gives you a great high after

Some great power there guys.

the black guy at 2:00 looked like he was possessed by Deadlift devil

@sktterd They're using your max for speed.

GO YORKSHIRE

[TheRugbyidiot]

a good old time

[virtualreal]

That gym has a great camaraderie.

[spidanez]

@sktterd thats just a speed warmup to activate fast twitch muscles. but you never know... you might be right there with them one day. also im not sure if those are 45 lb plates or 100 lb plates. they are in europe where they dont have the same types of plates as us.

[Krylogenic]

vsallbutme, you have not a clue these guys are tough and strong powerlifters so give them respect or go get on a machine in your spandex and shut the fuck up!
