[@MrLoOxY]

amazing job by the spotters on the squat.

[@MaD_KiLLR]

Lmao. Fucking idiot. Side spotters didn't do shit. IPFs spotters are a joke nowdays. Looks like back then they didn't do shit either.

[@Pisswizzard1234]

I watched the live stream of this and the commentators were hilarious. Proper fans - really enthusiastic and made it an awesome event :-)

[@heythere1900]

The commentary for the stream was brilliant the whole time!!! This guy is a freak of nature!

[@janneplanman6433]

Pleasure to see this giant doing so beautiful lifts🤒🏆This is strenght beyond strenght!!! Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮

[@TAvids4BN1990]

10:48 Dave Hoff, this is how real powerlifters celebrate, instead of throwing spotters around

[@powerlifting1986]

There are not "plenty of people" who can pull 900. There are only a handful. Only one person has pulled 900 in the past year: Andy Bolton. Benedikt failed with 915 or so at the CAPO meet. Malanichev has pulled 892, and I think Vince Urbank has pulled close to 900 this year and failed with 9+. Brian Shaw and a few other strongman competitors could probably pull 900 raw under powerlifting standards. So, a 900 raw pull is still VERY rare.

[@fabioxy]

About the deadlift: 1) DL is the lift where gear gives the less support. Squat greatly benefits from suits and knee wraps, bench shirt can add a lot of kg to your max (if properly used), while deadlift suits help much less. 2) In IPF only Eleiko barbells are allowed; those barbells are much stiffer than those used in other federations (you can see them not bending very much). Barbell stiffness makes deadlifts in IPF feel much heavier, that's why world record are lower than in other feds,

[@CaliforniaCarpenter7]

131T3M3 Because wearing lifting gear does very little to improve one's deadlift numbers. Squat suits, and bench shirts can sometimes add 200+ pounds to a person's max.

[@upgrad3z]

because these guys have their knees wrapped so tight they can barely walk. Not really anything that can assist that much for a deadlift

[@SmexyPC]

Ed Coan 901@220

[@powerlifting1986]

SmexyPC True, but he can't pull that at this moment. The number of people in the world who can pull 900 right now is probably ~10.

[@melfordandconcettabibens9197]

1000+ lbs squat without a monolift = insane!

[@sigmaclass]

I am new to this sport and this stuff just blows me away! How is this even possible. Wow!

[@MrSarMax]

Красавец Андрей! Молоток!

[@gopmagister]

Great video, amusing commentary.

[@evankosowski6319]

This mans total in Kgs is the same as mine in LBS for these reasons I'm out and feeling small.

[@jakecampbell1693]

this guy is an absolute unit!

[@fromanotherstar]

great spotters man, whew!

[@ronaldcoe1071]

I thought he was going to squat 1187.5kg. Love the way he walks.

[@amv062184]

I knew a guy named David (didn't get his last name) in northern Florida, outside Jacksonville, west of the St. Johns River, who could bench 950 lbs for 10 sets of 10 reps, in less than a half hour. The solid concrete floor literally shook each time he lifted the bar, and he actually was jerking it up a little bit. The bar would bend each time he jerked it upwards. He also had 6 spotters (he didn't like to bench for some reason).

[@GamersOnTheStorm]

2:00 missed lift because the right foot was more flared than the other foot causing loss in balance

[@supernoodles908]

Good spot there dude

[@ПАЛИТРАНОВОСТЕЙ]

"Давай Андрей, давай )))"

[@TheFineolase]

very well co ordinated spotters

[@winston678]

deadlift . well pull my friend.

[@grimsonfart]

They are so equipped they can't even walk properly. Impressive never the less

[@smithy875]

the guy that finished 2nd from norway was more impressive his squat and deadlift was class

[@Hankola]

My heart jumped out of my chest @ 2:09

[@tonybarfridge4369]

He benched as much as his dead lift. 2 things: 1- The world's strongest men could not bench anywhere near that, although he does wear a super suit, which is permitted in powerlifting. 2- The dead lift WR is 1102, far above the 800 he struggled with. Still enough to beat his own WR total. Yes, there are at least 5-10 people (MEN) who can deadlift over 900. Brian Shaw being one. Check KZbin for names.

[@petersoar2886]

it has got to feel pretty rough to have that much weight on your back, no matter how strong/big you are.... geez :) Impressive.

[@mlpko]

That walk...omf..

[@alcimargottschild5791]

love the commentators

[@LHudsonARTLIFTS]

If his deadlift was upto par with his otherwise he would be even more beastly

[@TheFitnessTutor]

Strong

[@wilfordbrimley6938]

random but anyone know the song around 9:05?

[@deathtripper72826]

Does anyone have any tips with squatting weight? Any time I get above 300lbs (around 135kg - 140kg), the bar causes uncomfortable pain in my upper back, pressing on the bones and muscles I see this and it blows my mind how they can handle that

[@Latteincorporation]

low bar squat

[@thatfatasiankid5701]

squat low bar

[@TheDeuxKid]

This dudes chest could land an airplane on it by gawd *Jim Ross voice*

[@arthurdayne1297]

This commentators are legit guys it’s was entertaining it was a show not nowadays ipf bullshit with sleepy voices

[@Milistaier]

they keep saying 405kilos so I don't get why the name of the video is stating 1187.5 kilos.

[@Milistaier]

***** Wah. What a low-life you can be. Well then, goodluck with your sadlife, since I see no other reason for you to be so affected.

[@Milistaier]

***** Write to me when you actually have something intelligent and decent to say o_o Those go hand-in-hand tho.

[@fragynbfh224]

Zadrunas Saviskis Deadlifts well (over) 1,100 lbs :)

[@c12345678910c]

Your comparing stiff bar deads to a tire-block deadlift with wrist wraps.... Hmmm are you missing something?

[@quinlansee1]

I think he ship himself after each one

[@VincentK.McMahon]

dat dere walk tho

[@infinitesimotel]

1:53 the face LOOOL

[@Александр-я2п6н]

Класс!!!

I was going to say...beat spoto bench press? Hell no, he as a bench shirt haha

[@ironw6806]

This dudes walking weird cuz his god damn legs are the size of a torso

[@gordlawson11]

why did the second bench lift not count? i couldnt make out what the announcers were saying

[@gordlawson11]

+Biggus Dickus OIC he didn't wait for the judge to yell 'PRESS!' glad he got it in the end.

[@666BIGBLOCK]

BuyLow SellHigh Thought they said too much body movement

[@131T3M3]

What are the raw record numbers right now? I don't understand why these lifters at the IPH only deadlift roughly 700 ~ 800 or so, when there seem to be plenty of people who can deadlift well into the 900 or 1000, like magnusson. Is there an explanation for why these combined lifters have a heavier squat than their deadlifts (which I feel is the case even if raw)?

[@zachstaudt8618]

Most powerlifters get very little out of a deadlift suit. I believe you get more out of a squat/bench suit because there is an eccentric portion to the lift and the suit stretches much more creating more rebound out of the bottom of a squat or benchpress

[@131T3M3]

There's that too, but I'm talking about raw numbers as well. For most people who deadlift/squat in the 300~400lb ranges, you'll notice that theres roughly a 4:5 ratio of squat to deadlift, but with competitive powerlifters' raw numbers, you'll see a 1:1, if not even higher ratio of squat:deadlift (without gear).

[@WooliteMammoth]

knee wraps

[@MrOnceinside]

definitely the wraps, and you really cant count the lifters that are using the monolift because that is more of a reverse leg press than it is a squat.

[@bunimokjh]

131T3M3 well, first, the squat is first, and the deadlift is the last, so a lot of powerlifters put a lot of training into the squat because is when you are at your full potential and not exhausted in a competition, which isn' the case of the deadlift, and second, the use knee wraps, adding some pounds over.

[@porsche4lifeGT2]

so how many cows does this dude eat a day haha

[@ZethUDSRakaSDAL]

Can someone explain to me why they deadlift "so less". Some strongman can lift over 400kg, is it cause they have not so many rules or so?

[@pouja]

They use a single deploy for squat, deadlift and bench. A deploy is a suit that helps you with your lift. It helps you a lot with squat and bench, but little with deadlift. That is why their deadlift is 'low' compared to their other lifts.

[@ZethUDSRakaSDAL]

Ah okay, thank you :)

[@anonymousinternetcowardmcq4967]

ZethUDSRakaSDAL theres no rebound or stretch for the deadlift like for the squat and bench where you start from the top

[@wattsinaname6975]

Put closed caption on and start the vid at 11:08. 😆

[@LambeauLeeeper]

Fire the damn DJ..

[@PowermanGustav]

Its funny how little the deadlift compared to raw lifters

[@PowermanGustav]

198 raw lifters does 800 and this is shw gerd

[@winston678]

yes he could have pulled more . he squats wide . those who have pulled 1000 . have done it on a buddy capps bar . not allowedin the i p f

[@THExJMC]

I thought the most elite powerlifters were deadlifting in the 1000 lb+ region? How come he can only deadlift about 20 lbs more than he can bench? He's incredibly strong i don't take anything away from him, but that seems odd to me.

[@powerlifting1986]

Only two powerlifters have ever deadlifted 1,000 lbs in all of history. At the moment, no one can pull 1,000. Everyone has the lift they are best at. This guy is a really good squatter. Others are really good deadlifters. It just depends on the lifter. Konstantinovs can pulled in the mid 900s, but he's never even squatted 800.

[@Kphyl]

I think its also because hes using a bench shirt that it helps him pull that much weight; also with the squat and the suit. For deadlift, its essentially raw.

[@Andrew..J]

The bench shirt probably adds 75-125 lbs, ive used a cheap slingshot and added 50 to my max. Still incredible though.

[@johnbackos5192]

+THExJMC Those who are very good at the squat and bench are usually not built to deadlift. Long torso + short arms and legs. He also needs to be quite low at the start of the sumo, long distance to pull. Strong as fuck though.

[@Filipinopanda1988]

+Andrew Jatib if properly used a bench shirt can add up to 300lbs on the bench. a slingshot is not the same as a bench shirt.

[@bobhardy8767]

Glad to see that drug testing is working in the IPF.

[@klzy999]

What is a 'single-ply' competition?

[@bombbdiggityy7417]

true strength is severely skewed when they wear squat suits and bench shirts, its popular around the international community but there is no vagueness or question of strength if you could do it raw.

[@bombbdiggityy7417]

and I also hate the music at this meet, its terrible....

[@JohnKatsTV]

lol @ not being able to hit depth in gear.

[@AikiNickAMV2]

This is single-ply, right?

[@powerlifting1986]

Correct.

[@9RedJohn9]

What the fuck? How come everybody is so strong at squat and they are so "weak" on DL's? Somebody pls explain that to me!

[@nickhatfield9453]

Could be the mechanical disadvantage of being a tall ass dude

[@ItsPhillyz]

or they could be too beat up from squat and bench..

[@9RedJohn9]

***** They are usually pull more than they squat. Except here. I'd like to know a decent answer to that.

[@ItsPhillyz]

Baldó Buczi mm yeah im no expert .. but im just going from personal experience .. when i do my comps .. i once took pre workout too early and it fucked up my attempts for deadlifts .. my back and glutes were cramp up from bench it also effected my deadlifts haha

[@xsneakywaffles]

only logical thing I can possibly think of is poor range of motion. Considering these dudes are big all the way around I can't imagine them being very flexible. So maybe they are just not able to drive off the ground with this size limitation

[@TheFineolase]

also, at 7:16 it looks like his head is poking out of a giant ass.

[@coleharris8243]

Why can he squat a shit ton more than he deadlifts? His bench is practically the same as his deads. Whats up with that

[@swite989]

Human anatomy my friend. Some have strong legs, some have strong back, some are average strong (I mean proportionally). My gym buddy for instance has strong legs, a bit weaker back and average chest. Other is good at all lifting exercises, yet machine exercises work bad for him, even dumbbell flies are closer to average gym rat weight, yet he benches over 200 kilos...

[@Kphyl]

squat = squat suit bench = bench shirt deadlift = pretty much raw

[@donheat6655]

lol look at the way this dude walks..

[@lb4941]

I don't understand the point of bench shirts

[@thomassabatier506]

Bench shirts are made of elastic fabric which pull your arms together. Essentially, it gives assistance on the bottom portion of the least, which is otherwise a weak point for raw lifters. Now if your comment is why isn't all powerlifting raw and all squats ATG, I couldn't agree more. At the pace where things are going, people will be doing rack pulls instead of deadlifts and unracking a bar instead of squatting it.

[@lb4941]

+Thomas Sabatier ya I was saying that they are pointless. you can use a slingshot during training to get assistance work.

[@marnoi8754]

6:18 what happened there? why wasn't it valid?

[@DywanTv]

He didn't wait to "press" command.

[@christofferstorlund7385]

Does the commentator know what Domoi means? i dont think he does...Domoi roughly translated means "Go home"

[@nhafner]

"davai" translates to Let's go too

was that single ply?

Yes, IPF is single ply only (or raw as in the classic world cup, but this is geared, so single ply).
