[@dariusgoatland10]

That attempt was 4.6x his bodyweight assuming he weighs exactly 59kg - meaning it could have been even greater than that - & it seems like the only reason he didn't complete it was his grip. Being so young, that's absolutely amazing. Keep your eyes on him; he's going to be winning his class soon once he gets his bench up.

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

his body weight was 58,94kg very much a lifter for the future.

[@boozbottle]

he recently deadlifted 675 on a deadlift bar at 63.5kg... fucking insane

[@dariusgoatland10]

[@alexy2824]

Andre DrummGOD needs more tape on his thumb for the hook grip or he needs to switch to the alternate grip. Hook grip fucking tears your thumb apart.

It's sumo though the range of motion is almost non existant, why do they do sumo anyway even watching it is a bit cringy I think. You literally have 2 really high ROM lifts followed by non existent ROM lift..... I don't get it.

looks like he did not do the last deadlift because of his grip.

[@cebollatron]

R. Dniprodd was it hook grip?

[@jimjones6901]

cebollatron yeah, I feel like I see more people lose their grip when pulling hook grip than mixed (and everybody praises hook grip for being the solution to a weak grip)

[@jimjones6901]

Semaj Acol Adival I feel like you also need to have long enough fingers, maybe that's why I see so many people drop it, for me it doesn't do a thing and actually makes it harder (but I'm like 5'7" so my hands aren't that big)

[@charliekp6534]

Jim Jones I've tried hook grip and can't get used to it at all, my hands aren't huge but I'm somewhat tall so they probably aren't the problem, my thumb slips out of my fingers every time It feels impossible to grip onto it, am I doing something wrong?

[@jimjones6901]

Charlie Kilby-Pollard I'd try to find a few videos of people teaching how to do it bc it's not as simple as just grabbing the bar with your thumb under your fingers (that's what I tried at first lol), I can't remember how helpful the video was but Izzy Narvaez/Powerliftingtowin has one on it and he is usually pretty knowledgeable

Lol he missed this because of his grip and has since adjusted to a MIXED HOOK GRIP something I personally have never seen before. He just hit 275kg and took thr open world record deadlift at worlds yesterday with it though... so cant really argue

[@doyouhavegainsonyourphone4507]

That deadlift confuses me. I feel as if the deadlift (conventional and traditional sumo) involves the back since regular set-up is an angled back. His deadlift utilizes the back to a very minimal degree and almost seems as if its a half ROM wide stance squat. Can someone explain this?

When you squat that low a weight and then deadlifts (even though it failed) more than 100 kg higher than your squat?! That's just crazy.

[@Dingdong2730]

My deadlift is significantly bigger than my squat(170kg to 120kg), and I probably could pull even more if I did sumo, but I'm not gay unfortunately

Its powerlifting my guy. Do what u have to do to lift as much weight as humanly possible. If u wanna look good go flex on stage with a thong on in a bodybuilding show. lol. If i sound pissed btw im not, just making a point 😅

[@user-vv6xf5hx8k]

fellas real quick question. im 59kg as well and i bench 50kg 4set*10rms. am i bad lifter based on my weights?

[@badman469]

ALDS LIFE For example im 18 now i weight 65 kilos, yes just that little, my normal bench press is about 65-70 my max was 83 about 1 month and a half ago, or longer. Deadlift weight is 120kg, i cant go higher because i have a home gym and dont have more weights. Biceps dumbell curls is normal 16-18kg how i feel. So to answer your question, everyone is his own best lifter dont look at people and think "omg he makes bench press twice as much as me and is the same age" do your thing and maybe one his max weight is 150 and go to 200 because of Motivation. Dont forget that everyone has another DNA structure so that plays a role too.

[@badman469]

ALDS LIFE and also the way he presses is different i mean if you watch all the bench press videos you'll notice they bend their backs a lot because then you can press much more if i press i lay nearly flat on tje bench

[@WhyAnyMurloc]

Is this competition natural? Just to know what i can expect with the same weight

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

Bughen there is no such thing as natural in powerlifting. This is a drug tested comp under Woda regs

[@WhyAnyMurloc]

and so what does it mean? i only want to estimate a ratio weight/lift potential on each of these 3 exercises, staying natural and considering having the best genetic for each exercise (not the three at the same time of course). Sorry for my bad english

[@imanolgon]

Bughen he means that you have to be natural to enter this competition. No drugs are allowed.

[@WhyAnyMurloc]

ok yeah but its supposed to be the same in many "naturally called" competitions. Are they natty for real or not? Just to know if it its possible to reach this level drugfree

[@imanolgon]

Bughen yes, they're all drug free. It's possible, really hard but possible.

[@Anabolicindependent]

benching with long arms is tough

[@Griimnak]

Why do they always make a huge arch on the bench presses? Is that really the correct form?

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

under the rules that are used yes this is correct form as you are able to reduce the distance the bar has to travel and by doing this you can put more weight on the bar. however this is really only used at this level in the sport. having such a large arch is not advised unless you and at the world class level. up to this level you need to develop your body and gain in strength, without this developed strength you will only fail if you were to try this. so when you see all the people saying if I arched like this I would lift xxx amount of weight, they can't. If they were to try this I can almost say for certain that the bar would drop like a stone to the chest and go nowhere.

What are the rules about deadlifting? Surely people who are sumo lifting have an unfair advantage as the weight doesn't travel as far?

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

It's only unfair if the the option is not open to all but as it is and they decided not to that up to them. But the basic rules are the bar must be lifted in one motion and your knees and shoulders must be locked and back. There is not a rule for distance your feet can be apart.

i can see more and more powerlifters using very good leverages to perform sumo deadlift (you can see how he's not even using much of a spine erectors, he's basicly upright during whole range of motion). which in my eyes is very unfair with lifters who are not physically made to deadlift sumo. everyone pulls sumo or everyone pulls conventional, the difference between the two is getting too big. i'd say same thing with arched bench press.
