Maxing Out the Axle Bar Deadlift | OSG Online Qualifier

[@joaopedro-tf5qi]

Please continue your posting pace. You are inspiring many people.

[@demon420rekt]

He's helping me go through the programs, before going the gym I watch a video and get so hyped

[@AchillesFeel]

My lunch breaks are always inspired

[@critical-slayer]

Damn that axle deadlift was insane! Cannot wait to see what other strongman exercises you include to compliment the events. Thanks for the consistent inspiration.

[@dantethunderstone2118]

9:18 good to see someone talk about all the other differences about an axle and that it’s not just grip

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

I absolutly love seeing your continued success! You're an animal but continue to be humble and chill which is cool.

[@nimar1994]

That 375kg Axle Deadlift was insane.

[@heraldofwar]

Cannot wait to see John conquer the strongman world next!

[@petershortland478]

Gonna be tough because he has to battle likes of Dan Benson, Gavin McNamee, Jake Allen, Nic Myers and Tyler Davis

[@brianfox340]

I will always be here for you doing strongman content.

[@hairyape_8103]

Really awesome going for OSG, you'll do great

[@gmueller]

Awesome! Pumped for the strongman portion of your training!

[@christopherengstrom5622]

Insane axlebar pull! Crazy :)

[@j.sarnak1391]

Thanks for the breakdown on the axle bar vs deadlift training , thanks for sharing the insight. 1 question ? Do you notice any different stress on your biceps with the Axle bar? I know you said it feels more like a deficit pull. Keep the videos coming John

[@MHB30]

Not really. The straps pretty well take the biceps out of it.

[@thegoldfish123]

Daaddy Haack looking jaacked, staacked and strong to the maax

[@christopherengstrom5622]

Let’s GO!

[@mattmilstead3733]

Crazy ! Axle deadlift is not easy

[@ShayeForTheDay]

I have those exact same straps with the pink stitching and it says kinda fit kinda fat

[@bladee5140]

Why to pull on axle with straps? What's the difference with simple conventional?

[@petershortland478]

Because Axle bar is ten times more brutal

[@glenanderson6164]

You going to compete in the u90kg class I assume?

[@LeGou]

One day Haack vs Hooper. Can dream

[@joenance8641]

Imagine haack at 330 lbs bodyweight

[@haellm9192]

Haack is like 5'9, shit aint happening

[@TheSLK66]

1212 Damn that looked heavy, good sh** man!

[@F1TNESF1RST]

What a grind on that 830

[@j.sarnak1391]

Easy big guy, that was his 1 st axle bar single of this prep

[@sayitoutloudchp]

*Dam, how long is the offseason? 1 month?* 😬

[@intoxicatedchocobo8370]

Couldn’t get your iron rebel discount code to process, just a heads up

[@MHB30]

I think it’s because of the 4th of July sale. They turned off the codes for that. Must not have turned them back on yet.

[@ciavagliastrongman]

Good axle John, where can we buy this bar? 47lbs a bar is good

[@petershortland478]

Axl bars are not hard to get cerberus likely do them

[@ciavagliastrongman]

@@petershortland478 Yeah I know, but I was speaking about h i s bar lol

​@@ciavagliastrongman who knows tbh they all pretty much the same

[@ciavagliastrongman]

@@petershortland478 cerberus is very interesting 1500lbs for an axle is awesome but for the same price has shipping they can keep the bar LOL

Back on them A bombs i see!!!

[@Liam_bridgham]

Will you bulk to 300lbs bodyweight?

[@MHB30]

No, I’m still competing in the 90kgs class

[@Liam_bridgham]

@@MHB30 ok, love the videos man.

[@Tofuthesnake-vq9ep]

Grip strength for axle bar

[@j.sarnak1391]

?? Are you saying John needs grip work?? You do know he pulled 939 lbs in a full power meet conventional stance LOL. Also watch the video John addresses the straps/ axle bar keeping his focus on his powerlifting deadlift

[@Tofuthesnake-vq9ep]

@@j.sarnak1391 no I’m just implying the fact that the grip strength necessary is ridiculous to do without straps I don’t know of anyone in world who could pull 830 axel bar especially at 2:20

[@Tofuthesnake-vq9ep]

220 bw*

[@joenance8641]

Haack, bulk up to 330 lbs please

[@TheMaster790]

I'm viever Nr. 25

[@Mangabe14]

Oh I gotta go against you lmao 90kg ?

[@theunaphotobomber]

Missed opportunity for "Maxle Bar" smh

[@azulsimmons1040]

Strongman competition doesn't want John Haack competing? I'm surprised.

[@petershortland478]

Where did u get that comment from

[@azulsimmons1040]

@@petershortland478 John said he had to earn his way into the Strongman competition he wants to compete in. I'm surprised as you would figure a legend like Haack would have an open invite.

[@micskra]

you need to have pulled with an axle to fully appreciate how fucking absurd anything over 300kg on it is. And at John's bodyweight? Shit is nuts lol

[@petershortland478]

I don't do strongman but for me they so much cooler to watch than a standard deadlift

[@joenance8641]

Imagine John weight 315 lbs

[@timbeech2056]

That's a ridiculous axle bar lift. Hope you use a suit for the comp though, just to reduce fatigue a bit. Each yoke walk the hand position, stance width and amount of external rotation look to have changed. I'm not going to pretend like I know what the right way for you to do that is but might be beneficial to talk to a good strongman coach, definitely after the events are announced. You don't need programming but nailing the technique can be the difference between winning and zeroing in strongman (as with the wobbly yoke in the pressing medley at OSG last year.)

[@CatNerfer3000]

I like stiff bars

[@dr.ohhimark174]

hire someone to film and load/unload the bar

[@dr.ohhimark174]

or just to load and unload while they train themselves. some kid might do it for gym membership paid for only

[@MHB30]

[@cheffy4663]

Axle bar put the truth in my deadlifts. So unforgiving….

[@1983mack1983]

That's an illegal amount of weight on the axel bar. Straight to jail.

[@gccstan31]

Tell us again how stiff it is, John 🥵🥵🥵

[@MHB30]

So stiff

[@MrRalph2000]

Too much talking relative to lifting

[@bryanscruggs7566]

Much more tolerable music this time, lol

[@brucemackenzie4952]

John is the greatest but not sure the point of using straps on an axis bar kind of defeats the purpose.

[@etimezz]

8:50

[@joebot9309]

It is exactly the purpose bro. You missed the video and are commenting again?

[@anthonyperry2923]

Lol

[@NicolasMartinez-lj8nt]

Using straps in an axle bar... Kinda wasting the resource, isn it?

[@hairyape_8103]

Nah Axle is as stiff as hell, makes power bars feel whippy. Also a slight deficit and slightly out infront

[@petershortland478]

You need to use straps for axle the bar is just to thick to hit reps consistently
