I think There is way diffrence b/w Weight lift in international competition vs lift in home gym

[@aussiesurfer805]

some great lifting ... I'm not sure what the rules are here though, because in traditional powerlifting, many of those lifts were "no lifts" and would have received 3 reds. Issues being, you can't hitch the bar up, as soon as the bar stops moving it's a no lift, and you have to fully lock your shoulders back... Not doubting the strength of these fellas, I'm sure they'd still lift a lot with power lifting rules, but can anyone explain the context/rules in these comps though compared to power lifting ??

[@melvinbengtsson8652]

@@Scousebaseballfan Why would you ever count Krysztofs lift as anything other than the gym record deadlift? It's sumo deadlift with figure 8 straps, therefore not a strongman deadlift or a powerlifting deadlift. It's also done on his own special bendy bar made for sumo lifting. Also, Thor and Eddie has separate records. Thor has the official world record for heaviest deadlift, and Eddie has the record for heaviest deadlift done in a strongman competition.

It still remains the biggest deadlift in competition. We have never said anything otherwise.

Eddie was allowed to use his own bar from home in the competition where he lifted 500kg. In the competition organized by his English friends. I think that sounds a bit questionable. How often does anyone else get that opportunity. And he determined all the weight jumps in the competition, and how long he needed to rest.

I think you did well to keep this more chronological. People would complain if you put Eddie at the end again. It really shows how amazing his lift was, and his rise from struggling with 461 to easily doing 463, to doing 465 as a warmup, and then doing a lift that, in international refereed competition has not yet been beaten now, 7 years on. I do respect Thor's lift, but it isn't a good context to do it in. Maybe after his powerlifting stint, he can try to come back for the strongman deadlift world record wholesale.

[@divicospower9112]

465 as a warm up thanks to 8 straps and suit. He did not have these when he lifted 463.

yes - we do respect copyright Bu Jammy. Plus, we are doing a piece on most insane deadlifts 'in competition', so you guessed it, Hafthor's lift isn't in our line up.

Don't know how you can have missed that, because it was so bleedin' obvious. (My channel has never been monetised btw, so that doesn't really make much sense, but thanks for taking a look).
