Carl Yngvar Christensen 1230kg Total WORLD RECORD !!

All lifts.
490kg squat (WR) - 350kg bench press - 390kg deadlift (ER)

[@william3542]

is it just me or did he have way more left in the tank for those deadlifts..

[@ConnorTaylor17]

+William Chin i noticed the guys who compete in this even look like they only deadlift like 80-90% of their max

[@Shikunisai]

+connor taylor You only have a limited amount of true maximum lifts in the tank in your lifetime. He's probably not done. ;)

[@kas0016]

the squat too

[@officefishwatch]

A lot of the 120+ and in other weight devisions, have huge difficulties in the lookout in comparison to the bottom movement, especially when it comes to equipped deadlifts. Its possible that he reached his nearly limit in the lookout ability.

[@ThomasSDavis-mc9of]

Looked to me like he had another 50 kilos in the tank. Is there no limit to this man's strength? Incredible!

[@MrElias97]

looks like he can deadlift like 440kg at least

[@tonybarfridge4369]

Agreed. Look at his squat -490. The BP too he pushes up with ease. It's only the top part he shows any struggle with. He is conserving his strength there in the DL as he didn't need to go higher.

[@dagan8659]

man 50 kg is a lot of difference there is no way you can sya it by watching this so stop BSING.

[@vitvit13]

Lol dont talk bullshit kid, if you watch strongmen you would know that people lift 390 but couldnt 400, at this point every kilo is really heavy.

[@AslanW]

The dude never grinds a single rep in training, and he doesn't even grind when maxing. Just amazing.

[@tomdizzo]

Good Omarisuf videos about how you shoulder never be grinding out reps if you're power lifting. Basically saying you're training yourself to fail if you are.

[@THExJMC]

You shouldnt really be grinding that hard in training. That being said it looks much smoother for big guys because they are far more stable and they carry a lot of mass that covers up the muscle striations and slight shaking that would be good indicators apart from speed for how difficult the lift was for them. Often you will see these guys perform with amazing speed but once they reach their limit it is like hitting a brick wall. If they cannot maintain that amount of speed they simply do not complete the lift.

[@MinoxJoen]

Your comment makes no sense dude

[@alexandergransten8367]

I've never seen him make a deadlift look hard yet. Every lift flies off the floor. He has so much more in the tank. 1300kg total is not far away. Absolutely incredible!!

[@gainsandglory6808]

Martin Parry Look at Jeremy Hamilton. Very similar. And Brandon Lilly. I feel like some of these guys just train so explosively that all of their maxes are lightning fast. I guess that's what comes from making it an effort to never grind reps, but still make continual progress.

[@CosmosZeroX]

he could compete in strongman competitions...he seems to be extremely strong!! and also very tall....could have a good chance there...

[@TheMagicToiletBrush]

+CosmosZeroX at the age of 17 he placed 5'th in Norways strongest man vs roidmonsters. So if he did really want to go into the world of strongman I think he would destory the current pack. and with some jungle juice like the rest of WSM... run and hide! really hope he is 100% clean. Most powerlifters are not :-(

[@biga1871]

+TheMagicToiletBrush obviously he takes certain supplements to increase his strength, otherwise he wouldnt be the record holder...also, i doubt that he had a shout in a world class strongman contest, most of the guys are greater deadlifters than him, and are used to events like log lift or loading race / carry etc. He might be the best squatter though, but then again the Squat in Wsm is mostly about reps not about max.

[@TheMagicToiletBrush]

+Big A he would destory them all in reps. + if he would be on the "jungle juice" like WSM are i think he could dominate. anyways for now i'm just glad to see him do what he does best. and hope he really is clean. But his form is PERFECT!

[@biga1871]

TheMagicToiletBrush​ I dont know what "jungle juice" means, but if he wanted to be on Top of the strongman game he needed a few years of work. And he obviously is as juiced as the guys on wsm. Its just not possible otherwise...but why change the sport? He is the greatest powerlifter alive and should stay there where he's best

[@mrehor747]

+CosmosZeroX Could be. Must have only bigger deadlift. Those guys are hitting 450kg. Hall´s record I think 473 kg. But according to this video I think, he could lift more than here. 390kg looked very easily lifted.

sheareronlyone are you stupid or something? he is positive 100% for sure, they just use a lot of money.. Do you really think Usain Bolt, Rich Froning, Ilya Ilyn, Dmytry Klokov, Hussain Rezazadeh, Bahdad Salimi isn't positive too? I live in norway and my good friend knows Carl Yngvar very good since they have known each other since boyhood, he told that Carl Yngar told him he got 48h warning before the drug test people came to him so Imagine what he/his staff can do to him before the test.. It's like I rob a bank and the police calls me, "You have 48h advantage before we come after you" Don't get me wrong my friend, I hope to believe Carl Yngar, Rich Froning, Usain Bolt and all of them doesn't use anything.. A good example is for example Armstrong, many of his rivals knew he was using and used themselves but they didn't say anything because they were afraid that they would go down too.. And it wasn't any sience to figure out Armstrong had used it when the guy suddenly goes beast mode after having cancer.. Sorry for bad english writing :)

[@kennylufc]

Best squatter in the world ..

[@kennylufc]

390kg with a IPF approved bar that have virtually no bend/whip ... Easy lift .. Had loads more in the tank ... .. On a Texas or Okie deadlift bar add at least 25kg for same level of effort/speed .. In tested fed .. Got to be up there in top handful of deadlifters too ...

[@yurwiewreuiyhjb]

ke lu im not that sure he had more in the tank, because he tends to either get it fast or get stuck at his sticking point at the top. but yeah he is a sick deadlifter and would do 900+pounds with a deadlift bar

[@kennylufc]

He doesn't seem to go right to his max at competition .. seems to have specific total in mind and sticks to it whatever ... And a long term plan of progressively increasing records gradually over maybe several years .. Over several meets .. Rather than maybe going all out in the specific meet even if he was capable .. Almost like Benni on his raw 1015 it was easy on the day and he could have got more if he had wanted .... And I think his plan was to probably hit 470kg (a lift he had done in gym apparently) at some meet close by but was thwarted by injury and surgery .. .... Can't really see any illustrations on youtube where it looks like he (cyc) is absolutely at his 1rm .. . I guess he aimed for a specific total on the day and specific records .. 390kg is 860 .. Think he has maybe 400kg (882) in an IPF bar on that day if he really needed the number to make required total ... Think he has around 900 on an IPF bar if he really wanted it and wasn't to bothered about going for a squat record or an overall total record .. At a particular meet or it was deadlift only .. On a texas or okie deadlift bar which most other non IPF feds use add 20-25kg (45 to 55lbs) I guess .. on the day in question .. Couple of guys I train with went to first IPF meet and remarked how heavy the bars felt even on comfortable weights .. just because they've very little slack off the ground to pull out .. It would be interesting if someone has any insight into his gym maxes on deadlift .. I think your right that he maybe has a bit of slowdown at the lockout ..
