Stay patient, stay healthy, 505kg will be there in due time

[@mrtholland2]

I love Graham, but imo, no can do 505 unless its years off and your name is Eddie Hall. Graham is the best deadlifter around but this record wont be broken in comp for a while.

@@mrtholland2 he got 505 off the ground last year with a sub optimal peak, and he is looking even stronger now with 12 weeks left and and he hasn't peaked yet... eddie had only done 460kg in training prior to pulling 500kg, I think it's there if the stars align.

He's looking better than hafthor right now. Not better than 501 hafthor yet, but this guy is getting strong strong.

[@hg_10sm68]

True. But I expect Thor to smoke 455kg raw next week. Thor's strength peaks very hard

[@gotzvonunentberlichingen1452]

Well Hafthor is doing all these raw and Graham is wearing a suit.

[@RiyamLifts11]

Haha equipped

[@nickcompton5981]

​@gotzvonunentberlichingen1452 that's because they each training for different competitions. Gram wants to break Eddie's in competition record of 500 and thor's out of comp 501. Thor trained for the 501 with a suit. Also gram is at least 100lbs lighter than thor. If gram pulls 505 it would be insanely impressive.

[@DMD82]

That third rep is the first time I have ever seen you not lift it like it's a bag of groceries, and that's at FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE FUCKING KILOS!! You're an absolute machine mate! Are you going to hit a target then taper off back down a bit and come back again for Las Vegas? Just curious because you're getting to/at the weight bracket where it doesn't matter how strong you are but will seriously affect your CNS and recovery will take longer, meaning less training

[@TheHixxy1985]

Yeah third rep was off line you can see the weight shift when I put it down. I'm happy with my strength I believe with a proper deload I'm capable of 505 so goal is to maintaine where I'm at

[@johnygoodwin3441]

Yeah, you could see the form issue with the 3rd rep, incredible that you still pulled it

[@DMD82]

@@TheHixxy1985 brilliant mate! I'm so desperate for you to do the 505, that's why I'm always asking questions on all your videos! If 430-440 is a good weight to maintain at I will believe you 100%, you make it look an absolute doddle! I'm a worrier, so I'm always worried about your recovery at these insane weights, does it take long to recover after a heavy set like this?

[@DMD82]

You're first rep looks amazing now! Crazy how strong you are, man. I really believe you can do it. Stay the course and stay healthy. Can't wait for Las Vegas.. it's gonna be your day in history

[@TheHixxy1985]

Yeah thats the most important now is my 1st rep and its definitely improved

[@louisevans8378]

I met Graham at the Arnold’s uk. Asked him for his top tips and he told me the importance of longevity. Since then I stopped ego lifting and the small constant incremental gains have really started to add up. Best advice I’ve ever had

[@mikehamilton9984]

Awesome deadlifting to watch. Very motivating

Top Man...Stay healthy!

[@jabarhussain6630]

Good luck I think u r at ur best hopefully u break the record god bless u

Stay away from injury and its there,looking the best i have ever seen him,so good luck to the man

[@juniperMc666]

Wow, sterling work Hicksy. I think you are well on track for the 505 and are just looking so strong with just a great approach to it all too. Good luck

[@hughphillips5129]

Last time round you were very close to 505kg, this time that set was faster more comfortable and you’ve got an extra 6 weeks of prep. You’re absolutely in the right place to do it this year

[@michaelmullins1290]

Its nice to see you doing so well. The work is showing itself. Stay healthy and go pull the weight.

[@TheHixxy1985]

Thankyou

[@TonyStark-xc7je]

Wow...that 431 x 3 looked smooth! Had to grind out the third a bit but you still had some in the tank! Can't wait to see you at the Deadlift World Championships!

No messing about , put the weight on , pick it up , pure power, great lesson for all of us too as you give the warm up weights just as much respect as the heaviest , good luck and stay healthy

Extraordinary

[@user-ki5fc1hn3p]

Thanks to all the commentators who insult the training partner with tough love, no jealousy, no ill will, just pure love, he doesn't know what he's doing, he must have lifted one or two times before, we all lift heavier.

[@MR-ly4xt]

You are so capable of doing 505kg. Amazing! 💪🔥💯

[@Bigramt]

Ok went back to watch the older video 430 for 3 I am convinced he is extremely close right now to the strength required. Especially comparing the first rep I said i believed he 'could' pull 505. I now believe he will. He has looked in much better shape and already stronger with more time out I wonder did he really believe he was going to pull 505, or was it more coming from hope? This is the confidence of a man that will pull 505. I was convinced Thor would pull 501 even before his triple with 440, but that made it for me very likely Getting that feeling now with Graham Awesome

[@techpiller2558]

Very good session. Exciting to watch such progress! But remember to not to rush for us fans, dial back if you need to.

[@simon8666]

Hicksy needs to pursue records. His potential and static strength are extraordinary. 505 deadlift and after the log record and axle press record.

[@TheHixxy1985]

I definitely have yet to reach my potential in my opinion

[@erebus79]

Incredible strength.

[@harleyross664]

If you 350 for reps and build up again it would be cardio at this strength utterly amazing. cant wait to see you back to full shows.

[@fisherman386]

That did not look like a PB, that's incredible, you're going to make it.

[@jayuppercase3398]

Insane lift

[@jamesnesbit9771]

Looking good for 505 🙌🙌🙌

[@vfxforge]

mind blown 🤯

[@Eisenbieger1986]

Good job. Controlling the downside part of the lift is key to hold the pulling line. You are on track. I think you can lift 505 kg on day X. Just watch the little signals of your body and react properly to them. If you feel you need a day more to recover just listen to your body. Plan smart and stay healthy. Collect yourself for day X. You can do it.

[@markf1mark]

Scary power ❤

[@xSpecterx99999999]

You definitely had 4 in you. Looking at last years video you didn't have 4 in you. Looking great!

[@Nicklifts03]

Amazing as always, Any plans to go for the log record after you smoke 505?

[@TheHixxy1985]

Maybe

[@StrongestNatty]

Not sure what is better in my eyes, Thors 440x3 Suited etc, or Eddies 420x4 no suit or belt... Either way I think if you get close to or match Thors 440x3 you've got the 505 in the bag for sure.

[@Lee-kd3be]

Great lift as always Graham. You have so many people believing in you. Keep pushing. Have to agree with some of the comments, the other guy needs to work on his form rather than hitching like that. Personally I wouldn’t be wearing a deadlift l suit at 220 but everyone is different. 505 incoming!

[@TheHixxy1985]

Thanks. Josh works both forms hes very intelligent and I have alot of respect for him people just don't understand his logic as only seeing snippets

[@krzysztof-michalak]

Nice it looked much easier than your 430 triple from last year

[@Peter-ju6vn]

i did 43.2 for reps yesterday get on my lvl!

[@CCC-gg1to]

I don’t know if any of you noticed this, but, if you see how he does those 3 reps, he’s holding at the top and then releasing and rising again, almost rdl, he holds it at the very end as well, could be tactical to apply more stress to the muscle, interesting, whether or not this is better than an explosive rise and drop I’m not convinced as always try and keep competition reps the same as training, however, this being reps and sets it could be a potentially smart tactic to exert more energy with less weight for more muscle fatigue, let’s see anyway, but I’m sure plenty will argue with the tried and tested and not straying from it, good luck hixxy, n remember, give it f***ing everything👌👍💯

[@glenngheerardyns9136]

Did i see that well,do you color your toenails?

[@bobz4968]

Im always surprised how few warmup reps top deadlifters perform. Anyone know why? Doesn’t the lumbar need more blood flow?

[@Streetvlogs00]

Please mention deadlift program for progress

[@barryadcock7332]

If you stay injurey free and dont burn out you stand a great chance. If you do it and its huge task it will be a much better lift than Eddie's or Thor's your about 40kg lighter. Good luck in Vegas !!

[@jukoliste82]

Fuck yeah

[@user-ld1th7bg9s]

Based on you pulling heavy every 2 weeks, you have 5 heavy sessions left. Is that correct? Or are you planning to pull heavy even less frequently from now on?

[@TheHixxy1985]

Less for sure

[@uncleyoung8849]

So 3 at that you’d expect he could hit around 480kg, 3rd one was a bit of a struggle. 3 at 450kg and he’s getting closer

[@TheHixxy1985]

Just offline I wouldn't say struggle. Pulled 430x3 last year much harder and did an easy 470. Formulas don't exist for these types of weights in my opinion

431 for 3... This is crazy!!!

Thanks for the concern mate. 290kg x 5 is a goal in 10 days in comp. Only way I’ll be able to do it is by dialling in my hitch!
