  • As much as I like this sport, this event sucks. And so does the Sigmarson deadlift. The weight travels a very short distance and it's not very spectacular at all. Plus I think it's very hard on the athlete's joints. I think a full squat with the barrell load, either for a max or for reps, is more fun to watch.

  • Awesome!!!

see all

  • @CORXX I completely agree, I've never really cared for the backlift or Hip/Thigh lift and similar lifts.

  • @knelly19 yet they are no match against him,he has a deadlift of 430kg raw on a regular gym bar,so yeah.

  • @CORXX You are right that those two events aren't very entertaining even when done for reps. They could come up with better events.

  • @spawn039 I'm not saying it's not useful for strength gains; I'm just saying that, in my opinion, it lacks spectacularity to be part of a competition. It's not fun to watch. It's like benching with a board. A real deadlift is nicer, and you see the athlete struggle throughout the motion range towards lockout.

  • @CORXX This event is pointless but not the Sigmarson deadlift. The deadlift is basically a rackpull which most of the athletes do in the gym to help with the lockout on there deadlifts.

  • cool!!!  a whole ELEVEN SECONDS video of ZS!

  • @knelly19 sorry i could notunder stand your comment what did you mean im not to bright ok never mind isee what you mean sorry yea that a tight fit those suits somethimes du brain fart sorry
