A really good lift (understatement lol).

The problem I see with many strongmen who don't win the WSM is they are not athletic enough.

Obviously men like terry here are stupidly strong and if most of us could lift half what they lift we would be well happy.

But think of past champions like Jouko Ahola, Mariusz Pudzianowski, Magnús Ver Magnússon and Magnus Samuelsson..... they all had really good aerobic capabilities.

I think a major aspect is to loose the gut and increase the speed.

@deano888888 I think being athletic is just as important as being strong. I'm not sure if you are directing the lose the gut and increase the speed thing to me but I like to think I am one of the fastest strongmen around. I will be the first to admit I have a few spare pounds but have regularly beaten Mariusz on speed events. I think people mistake body types for not being athletic. Z (the current WSM) has a fair size gut on him yet he was winning speed events at WSM for the last 2 years.

@deano888888 Just because guys aren't ripped does not mean they are not athletic. There are a few reasons I have not won WSM yet and I know what they are and I am working on them. The main reason being my overhead press which I am working hard to correct. Thanks for the comments though mate and nice to have a healthy discussion regarding things like this!

no rep cause you didnt hold the weight long enough

[terryhollands]

Well the lift was a training lift and in comp you get a down signal when you are locked out! there isn't a time it has to be held for

[chaotisms]

Great lift! Your twice as strong as me, i think im strong sometimes but not when i watch vids like these ;]

@Henzzman He's great!

[Henzzman]

@andcbwk look up mikhail koklyaev,he is the worlds best overhand deadlifter without straps and other equipment,besides a lifting belt.

Hi Terry,

Awesome lift and i wonder if you used a hook grip or not. I use a mixed grip but for some reason it just doesn't feel good like the double overhand grip. But to menage heavy weight like that for more then 1 rep i would have to use a hook grip or straps.

I have read that straps weaken your grip strength so that's why i went to using mixed grip.

What do you think? hook mixed wrap?

Have a nice day

It sounds like a gunshot when you drop the weight lol

[Omegapocalypse]

[lordswit6666]

@terryhollands Terry...don't waist your time giving explanations of if is good or not have some gut if people want to see abs and ripped bodies let them go to a Bodybuilding show if they want to see real men lift real weights see a strongman in action...just like you

@fatgordon Just in case he never see ur comment.... round plates does help ( not on the lift) but on the stance you are using,,, if your plate are octogonal you might no get it at the place you really want the bar to be... Rolling the bar helps to see where is the best angle to lift (( well for me it works...)) but I dont think I can get +1 pound doing that...
