Huge fan of Dan, but I could have sworn I saw an Animal Cage video where he deadlifted Nearly 900lbs? I don't know how much he weighed in that video and I could be wrong, but I'm pretty positive it was significantly north of the 783 he pulled at this meet. I understand that strength is lost when cutting and trying to make weight for a meet but I'm certain I've seen him pull near 900 and mid 800's in several videos. Just wondering if he was sick or something was off for this meet?

[@WrathofTheAngels]

Can't believe I'm replying to a 4 year old comment, but you lose strength when you deadlift after squat and bench as opposed to in deadlift only events.

[@Stevofxx]

Oh shit, Dan's last two deadlift attempts were 355lbs! I might actually have a chance at this!

[@Jonwithace]

lbs? it was kg.

[@agencialt9633]

Jonwithace dont feed the trolls.

[@moona5454]

Stevo-Fernando HAHAHAHAHA!

[@michaelthorley8710]

Cut 50lb from a few days out, went 5/9 and still set a world record, dudes an absolute freak of nature.

[@jeddharrispersonaltraining9787]

355 pounds, I got a chance after all at this shit.

[@jeddharrispersonaltraining9787]

***** Just playing around man, not necessarily trolling haha.

[@jordangibson705]

Thanks for filming and getting the coverage out quick Josh!

[@tlmanker]

Thanks for these RUM vids that 220 lb class was ridiculous!

[@sammckay6002]

It's crazy to see how little progress is made each year for someone at Dan's level. Not a knock on him, just an observation. Still an incredible performance from him.

[@jakesacksner5929]

it's like tht in almost every sport. Diminishing returns

[@domdude5000]

To be fair I think he has made a lot of progress this year, he obviously had a pretty bad day

[@JohnFarrellDev]

He had a bit more in him though especially with his grip failing him on deadlifts. He improved and didn't even have an amazing meet for him.

[@Supremucy]

He cut a ton of weight for this meet to be at 220. Looks like it took a toll on him and he still did awesome and set a world record.

[@3kingspowerlifting119]

He tore like three different muscles this year..

[@Tube721]

That second attempt at 380kg was Fycking deep man! I think he realised maybe to deep as on the third he cut it higher!

[@nilo7727]

Super friggin awesome and impressive!!!!😎💯

[@lukemeredith4628]

dude is shredded no matter what class he is in.....

[@EssenceofWombat]

what impresses me the most is that he could go 5 for 9 and still set the WR total after a 50+ pound weight cut. i can only imagine what he could have hit if his game was more on point.

[@Dippedinblackink]

Man he has that 805 had his grip cooperated. Awesome performance though overall.

[@heathnguyen]

It's crazy to think that weak grips'd be equivalent to having say weak hammies or lower back in a deadlift. pretty overlooked for the people who'd religiously use straps in gym and count their lift. (not that i've seen in most Dan's vids).

[@agencialt9633]

***** does dan green train in straps always?

[@heathnguyen]

straps can alter your pulling biomechanic hence not ideal

[@TheViolander]

***** Point of using straps in the gym is that sometimes you deadlift for volume. For example I would never compete for 3-5 reps. You use straps for some sets and go raw for those PRs and top sets.

[@MrJosh6889]

+deadboy600 I used to rip calluses all the time. Had monsters on both hands. Got my pumice stone and haven't had any problems since. Close to a 500 pull but the difference is I only weight 165. That shit works. I never use straps and my grip has never been a problem. Of course you'll have grip problems if you don't train your grip.

[@NoGoodJim]

Jeremy Hamilton should compete at the Classic division next time!

[@lift2live1]

1- weight loss is a killer 2- squat are a bit high 3- dan green is the BOSS -

[@dimmuborgir7898]

He definitely wasn't near his best and he still breaks the WR Dan is ridiculously strong haha

[@jinleeusa17]

Still da goat :)

[@boxxer221]

Misses all those lifts and still gets WR.

[@BuiStrength]

Man it's really depressing seeing Dan losing strength. I believe he totaled the exact same numbers as last year's RUM. His deadlift used to be in the mid-high 800s. Still such an amazing athlete, but I guess injuries accumulate over time. Still awesome lifts

[@wvjon75]

He's not losing strength. His mid 800's deadlifts were done at a higher bodyweight. He may have had a hard weight cut and been a little off. He'll deadlift mid 800's again I'm sure.

[@matthew-tq7fj]

Not losing strength dumbass. He's had multiple injuries since RUM 7 and he had a higher bodyweight then. He cut a shitload for this meet as well, which puts a huge toll on the body.

[@vilimikkola2545]

The massive weight cut would also explain his troubles with grip strength.

[@betmen01]

Francis Bui he pulled 815 in the cage with ese and after that levitated 875... if you follow him on fb youll se that he is concentrating on DL more than ever... just wait my friend

[@samuelmontypython8381]

fucking impressive. I'd like to see powerlifters today try 800+ with no straps like that

[@juice82214]

Quadzilla!

[@MountainMace]

What jordans does Dan wear here to bench?

[@TheeFitnessEnthusiast]

Love the comments from people who don't know the sport. Dan got weaker? No Dan is weighs less than 242 (which he normally competes at). Also it looked like he was way off and still killed it.

[@CassWaves]

He deadlifted 865 with ease at the cage not too long ago.. weird to see dan struggle with this weight. No disrespect though, Dan is still one of the best of all time

[@FiestyPikachu]

That was also not on the same day as a 380kg squat. A squat that heavy takes its toll on your body especially when his squat stance and sumo stance is fairly comparable. Also, the animal cage has the whippiest deadlift bar ever hence easier to get off the ground. And he didn't have to cut weight for the cage.

[@FiestyPikachu]

Also you could say that competition plates are better calibrated (possible slightly heavier depending) than the regular iron plates used in the cage. Also competition plates sit closer to the centre of the bar, meaning that there is even less whip on the bar. And he didn't have to wait for a down command in the cage (didn't have to hold it for a second or so at the top). His grip would have been fucked from bench too. There are many factors.

[@dinolarsson]

He usually weighs around 243 so that is probably why the struggle, also he suffered a few injuries since then. This was still an amazing performance

[@HorseFromHell]

He's 220 here.....

[@molsonman7800]

Horse From Hell He is 220lbs because he cut a lot of water weight. It is the same thing pro fighters do & the more you cut the harder it is on your body.

[@omarmerican9127]

anyone know what song is playing before he unracks each squat? would be much appreciated :)

[@Tom-ut4jm]

Omar Merican rob bailley and the hustle standard; Beast

[@custom_sixseven2492]

whats the song that comes on a 0:24?

[@imnodog]

beast kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmO9nZ2wmayDi8k

[@rugaism1]

110kg/220lbs?Is this world record for 110kg or 100kg?

[@jiujitsuboy]

100kgs most likely

[@some5672]

can't you hook grip with a mixed grip?

[@climbscience4813]

***** Even safer grip. Dan seemed to had grip issues here. I guess that's where the question comes from.

[@climbscience4813]

I would assume, that if you really want to do it that way, you would hook both hands. I honestly don't know if anyone has tried that, but if you have serious grip issues, it might be a solution.

[@roncitito7257]

How does Dan make 220? He was walking around at like 275 lean at the end of his training cycle.

[@wazzer1812]

same way he builds muscle........drugs

[@roncitito7257]

Dan Green is natty. Mike O'Hearn told me.

[@climbscience4813]

Solkatti At least Dan doesn't pretend he's natty.

[@Dluu22]

Wait so did Jermy Hamilton compete with Dan Green since they're in the same weight class?

[@sammckay6002]

Jeremy did raw and Dan did raw with wraps, so no.

[@Dluu22]

ah i see, thanks for the clear up

[@i_booba]

Sam McKay I was also wondering that, thanks!

[@agencialt9633]

what was the biggest squat in jeremys division and in dans division? dont know where to find the stats.

[@kmegrou59]

Wait, wait, wait ! I'm not getting this, how much is Dan Green hitting ? Wasn't him around 865 deadlift and over 881 squat ?

[@LimitlessFitness]

He went down like two weight classes dude. Had to cut quite a bit of weight

[@kmegrou59]

Team Limitless​ What ? I remember he posted one time on Facebook that he was GLAD he wasn't going to compete in the 220's anymore. So what weight is this ? 80's ?

[@Burog1]

hitting gym PR's is a different ball game dude and he had to cut weight u have to had tried to know.

[@raunaqvbp]

He would have hit that second attempt on the squat but literally went an inch too deep.

[@conrad2nr]

First deadlift, 355 KG not LBS

[@FiestyPikachu]

Na it was lbs m8

[@jeddharrispersonaltraining9787]

Please don't fuck with me

[@conrad2nr]

Hahahaa I replied while watching the vid the first time so I saw the first deadlift and responded. Turns out in his haste to upload this superb vid (much thanks!) Strength Doc captioned all of the deadlifts with lbs only instead of lbs and kgs

[@abcitiseasyasonetwothree3066]

Jesse norris with 20 kg less bodyweight would crush this guy. And hes is natural...

[@mitchp7714]

Trolling...

[@GeorgieGiven]

Ritvars Kļaviņš Jesse is sick but his last meet (although not his best total ... But still...) was 1872. So come on man

[@yurwiewreuiyhjb]

Has he gotten weaker?

[@EssenceofWombat]

he did cut 57 pounds to make weight and this total is barely higher than his raw no wraps WR total. i think he just had a bad time at this meet.

[@EssenceofWombat]

according to his wife's facebook he was 277 lb before cutting for RUM

[@sammckay6002]

some asshole Dan confirmed that that was an exaggeration. I believe he said he was 245.

[@EssenceofWombat]

okey dokey

[@sammckay6002]

I don't believe so.

[@andylin7841]

Fuck...

[@stevecanyon7396]

Squats were high.
