[@juhmickm4410]

Eric Lilliebridge, Pete Rubish and George Leeman all look like children compared to what they look like now haha

[@lolekbolek676]

Leeman looks so young here

[@kimjongroid7945]

Juhmick M steroids is one hell of a drug

[@DRAG0NSIN7]

Chris hicksons form scares the shit out of me.

[@GamersOnTheStorm]

rounded thoracic spine = ok rounded lumbar spine = NOT OK STOP RIGHT NOW

[@renehaitjema7841]

lmao the kid curling at 8:15 like noone is whatching

[@JingXun98]

LOL Best pre-lift "ritual" ever 4:18

[@Jmack7861]

Lmao I can’t stop

[@meantube5920]

Thank you so much for pointing this out

[@jeddharrispersonaltraining9787]

11:56 so much pain in Leemans face.

[@tfranc347]

Jedd Harris I heard he was thinking about his siblings that passed away and that he used to do that for each deadlift.

[@jeddharrispersonaltraining9787]

tfranc347 Ah rough, got the video on this?

[@tfranc347]

Jedd Harris Not at the ready, no. I know he's talked about it on his channel in his archives. I forget what the name of the video is.. sorry.

[@davidgatica4921]

tfranc347 906lbs deadlidt for my dad??

[@tfranc347]

David Gatica hmm maybe. That would make sense. Though I feel like it was a different one, somewhere in the middle of his video library. The title might be like a Q and A or "what I do to prepare for a lift" or something like that.

[@gainsandglory6808]

7:49 look at everyone's faces. The Lillibridges, the guy sitting behind George, everyone. You can tell that was one emotional lift

[@isaacvamp3614]

10:55 dan green was about to hit that 800lbs bench lol

[@HBWFitness]

8:15 Gainzz

[@vlad1889]

That kid will be breaking records in no time.

[@PhilFitworldexposed]

Legendary meet

[@vikzy9133]

this is why I love this sport man everyone is supportive of each other they want everyone to succeed

[@GamersOnTheStorm]

that chris hickson has such a ugly deadlift

[@GamersOnTheStorm]

word, guy like he is super strong but did someone just not teach him to deadlift

[@gainsandglory6808]

word, guy Technique>form Technique = the way you maximize your leverages to put lbs on the bar. This could include sinking the hips lower, getting the hips higher, rounding the upper back, rounding the lower back, straightening the back etc etc. It is different for every individual. Text book perfect form is not powerlifting technique.

[@GamersOnTheStorm]

Lucas Valdez yah but yanking on the bar is not good form or technique. and a completely rounded lower and upper back and he seems to not be tight at all.

[@gainsandglory6808]

K.

[@mcibirka]

word, guy He looks like 6'6

[@JoeAnklam]

Is that chris hickson or chris hitchson? come on... eh eh? No? okay I'm done

[@olofpersson983]

Come back Leeman.

[@afafadsbbrs5503]

I miss this powerlifting meets and this lifters, it was way more interesting than all the IG lifters of today

[@kadijaish]

Leeman changed a lot since this was 3 years ago. You can see by his face he was insecure full of doubts. Great for him that he found girlfriend and is happy with his life

[@crackpippi]

+kadijaish Not anymore :(

[@kadijaish]

his girfriend left him

[@DosXEWalrus]

+kadijaish he had the girlfriend here that guy vince urbank is her brother

[@RustyIsScared]

+kadijaish He doesnt have that face because hes insecure and full of doubts lol, He has it cause he thinks of hes dead brother and fucked up shit. Still to this day he has a face like that when trying a pr.

[@kadijaish]

*passed away

[@huddy2769]

Wow they all look so young

[@ryanoverfelt1218]

Definitely the record for the most mentally unstable lifters in a single meet.

[@mulatonegro1294]

Dan BOSS Green as always laid back personality but a beast in liftin heavy ass weights

[@squiz8]

George Leeman, omfg, stronk!

[@MaiTaiMechanics]

8:14 in the background. That's how I feel looking this guys.

[@brogandowney7713]

Ernie SR is awesome and a encouraging guy you can tell

[@InfiniteElgintensity]

08:01 that kid in the background is going HAM on the biceps curls

[@elementbrds]

lol... Brandons 771 looked like he was picking up a fucking toothpick. Awesome shit!

[@Workhorse.est.1997]

Vince Urbank has sloth-like arms haha

[@karanespanol011]

The speed on Brandon Lily is just fucking amazing

[@PlutoTheGod]

Wanted to see more of George leeman :(

[@Beeftitan]

everyone had 3 attempts?

[@DefinitionLegend]

George can do his max in here for reps like it is nothing now lol He has gotten a lot stronger since this.

[@cjjones7487]

if hes using straps.

[@progamer6655]

7:55. I looked all faces by leemans failed lift :D. Great reactions

[@holtszom3746]

can´t believe that dan green never smashed his toes

[@shermanchester68]

8:00 The kid behind the action. You go little guy. : )

[@Exekutioncro]

Thats Ernie Lilliebridge JR son :D

[@hygkhtfgnttm2017]

this is great, everyones rooting for each other

[@johnrobinson1762]

The 804.5 lb pull looked sketchy. They're supposed to be a green plate on the end.

[@Taureg]

This might have been the best roster of any powerlifting meet

[@TheJimMcD3SB]

On the short list for sure

[@johnrobinson1762]

The importance of this video is the date of production. 2012. Not much public knowledge about lifting outside of the typical bro split. So basically these lifters are miracle workers. You just witnessed someone pull 800 lbs with overhand grip. Even someone with common sense would know the impossibility for a person to do that. Even 315 starts to slip with an overhand grip after a few reps. 405 with overhand grip would be an accomplishment. My point is that they either have gall or they don't even notice their own ridiculousness. Someone pulls 800lbs with an overhand grip you should ask them to walk on water next.

[@Dirtkid98505]

He was using hook grip which is a method in which your thumb its placed under your fingers. Olympic lifters have been using it for decades. Tbh I don't know if there is anyone who can double overhand 800. I've seen 5 and 600 overhand but 800 I don't think has been done

[@johnrobinson1762]

@@Dirtkid98505 How many people can overhand grip 315. Not many. 405. Almost none.

[@Dirtkid98505]

@@johnrobinson1762 I've done 405 but I need a bar with really sharp knurling like a quality power bar or deadlift bar to dig into my skin. Do you watch Brian Alsruhe? He does between 315-405 double overhand with rows! It's insane

[@MaxxxPhotography]

This is a high quality video that captures the thrue spirit of powerlifting meets and shows perfectly the intense emotions of the athletes. Thank you!

[@GummyyBearrrr]

is it just me or is mark bells left arm like significantly bigger than his other? 2:22-2:25

[@papaknuthson]

+GummyyBearrrr yeah lol

[@KalebTheFinlander]

These guys are like the justice league to me.

The lillebridges with all those dick prints, they just look awkward.

[@samuelclemons508]

George Leeman is a strange dude.

[@SomethingCool51]

Hickson has such a weird setup

[@jacobtworks]

Man, some of these guys are freakin tall

[@underdog6074]

it looks like leeman is the youngest and the strongest

[@mikelitoris5039]

ur real dad not the strongest anymore

[@RizlaTakesOver]

he still technically is. He pulled 909 raw and 907 for 4 lol. He also pulled 1005 for 2 deadstop from blocks. George is by far one of the strongest people in history besides thor, eddie, shaw.etc

[@RustyIsScared]

What a bunch of bullshit, George is like 10+ years younger than everyone and he was THE strongest, So fucking annoying that hes grip couldnt hold 903, Cause he got it up to easy. What a beast

[@RustyIsScared]

joe nolan My bad, ye 865. And what thee fuck do you mean with hes cheating, Cause hes on gear? al of these mofos is on gear.

[@RustyIsScared]

joe nolan Pretty sure george didnt stop taking gear, Hes just not in america atm, Hes in thailand or where the fk it is, and they dont have enough weights to help him progress, ive talked with him and its hes own words, havent asked if he stoped taking gear tho

[@RustyIsScared]

joe nolan Dont think its possible keeping that size and strength if you stop taking gear lol, you cant just take gear and get up to 350 and stop taking it and continue for the rest of your life staying at 350 imo

[@RustyIsScared]

joe nolan Lol no hes like 320... I talked with him for like a week ago lol

[@RustyIsScared]

joe nolan Wow what the fuck is wrong with you, are you jelly? No i actually have him on facebook, he helps me with training and im also the one that makes hes intros on youtube, so guess im pretty special you ignorant fuck.

[@CorporalDeepDick]

7:56 robots face when leeman screams 😂

[@egodeath9957]

Go up to them and ask if they wanna fight

[@snizshizzle]

Wow awesome footage and editing of an awesome and epic meet. These dudes looked smoked by the time deadlifts came around. Was Stan's squat uploaded yet? I've been trying to keep up with these videos and haven't seen him yet.

[@fatbrad412]

Man, Lilly's 3rd deadlift was effortless. So awesome.

[@RustyIsScared]

Why the fuck didnt george get the 393? That was a lockout for sure, Im not sure about many of the others i saw.. many wasnt even close lockout still they got it? wtf

[@Sbarrett1]

He dropped the bar because of his grip. In a meet, you need to wait for the down command and then set it down.

[@rubenscottfitness6919]

+Steven Barrett wtf? Vince had a pull right after wich he dropped without command. just that he slowed it down at the bottom, but theres no rules about that. They held it in lockout about the same time both, kinda dumb

[@Sbarrett1]

+ruben scott I mean dropped as in let go completely.

[@gulamalakbarli6825]

konstantin pozdeev pulled 400 kg raw with own weight of 100 kg / 225 pounds

[@allanchen3949]

100kg=220.5lb

[@troyvincent8933]

+Jim Mcdonald Hey Jim, does George Leeman only specialize in deadlifts and only compete in that category or does he do the other 2 competition lifts?

[@ericfrullaney2742]

+Troy Obillo He injured his knee when he was younger and never had surgery. He does bench press and sometimes squat variations (box squats, hack squats). But George mostly focuses on deadlift and does deadlift only

[@troyvincent8933]

Ah okay, thank you
