Reps With The Axle Bar Deadlit | In My Strongman Arc Ep.2

[@celtlen]

One thing I think is often not recognized, but which your video highlights very well, is just how athletic a competition Strongman is. Seeing you big boys sprinting while carrying massive weights is wild. Hope you enjoy your time in the Shadow Realm :D

[@MHB30]

It’s crazy watching the big guys move like they do

[@McWhatevs]

@@MHB30 Looking forward to the colab with Moose

[@dean1807]

My favourite powerlifter working with my favourite person in strongman is amazing. Can’t wait for OSG now!

[@codyaims]

always known you were a beast, nothing but respect for you. at the same time, not a big powerlifting fan, but i absolutely fucking love strongman. super excited to watch this journey

One thing with all this work Loz has you doing is only going to benefit you in long tun! One thing for sure is you are definitely going to get fitter!

[@AzhaanEbrahim]

I like the new introduction💪🏻🔥🔥

[@HCQuality]

Great video, thank you!

[@dantethunderstone2118]

5:38 the main point of axle (in strongman) is that there’s no flex in the bar so you need to pull all the weight right away, no pulling 3 inches of flex

[@dantethunderstone2118]

@northbuster290 yeah but in strongman the point of it is that there’s no flex, strongman doesn’t care about which muscle move what

[@petershortland478]

And it ten times cooler than standard bar

[@samcowgill]

Hey John don't worry what the schedule has OSG meets are quick and they will keep the pace. the "schedule" doesn't survive first whistle

[@mattmilstead3733]

I do like the benefit of the axle bar for deadlift and just using straps on stiff bars in general have helped me from the floor at least . I still haven’t done any axle bar deadlift in competitions that have done recently. I’m hoping next year when I get in shape there will be a strongman comp near by with an axle bar for reps or even max lol

[@maxzhao8331]

great video as always!

[@bryanscruggs7566]

I love strongman stuff for conditioning.

[@SethAKPI]

Woah, John training biceps, this is a rarity

[@archmaesterofpullups]

What kind of accessories does John typically do for upper body? Most of the strongman stuff he has incorporated seems to be lower body focused. I'm not sure how much OHP or direct triceps/chest work he does.

[@mr.yan1238]

Is that farmers carry also similar usage as wrecking ball hold too🤔

[@davideaston8437]

I know grip has never been a major issue for you, but the last cycle it seemed to be a bit more of a struggle (expected when you’re pulling 900+). Do you think the dedicated grip training with the hold will help?

[@MHB30]

It certainly won't hurt.

[@joshrud9756]

Would you ever be interested in using a deadlift suit? Especially as you continue to explore strongman.

[@MHB30]

I’ve thought about wearing briefs, but I don’t know if I’d want to do a full suit. It could change in the future though

[@kennybryan4816]

Do you ever do a static hold with heavy weight . Like for a 600 pound bencher like your self the weight would be 610- 620 pounds for a 10 second hold ? I've heard it can be beneficial but I wounder if the juice is worth the squeeze.

[@MHB30]

@@kennybryan4816 I don’t. I’ve never really felt a benefit from it

[@dantethunderstone2118]

It’s more common in equipped lifting afaik

[@cisrael468]

Holding weight at lockout is never the hard part for raw lifts

[@Zlaterrr]

Since u recently competed, how do you work around the PED's going into the strongman competition?

[@AlTemple-c7z]

Hi John, have you weighed your axle bar? 20# or so? I think my gym has the same one. I just guess what's on the bar.

[@MHB30]

It's 25lbs. I realized it was actually 653lbs. Forgot to add in the collars.

[@anthonyvonhoff3532]

What did u say the best accessory for deadlift training there was?

[@NboOfficialAus]

Intro song?

[@dawgcat3087]

Whats your workout split?

[@DTFES]

What wrist wraps do you recommend?

[@Kjkszpj99]

Sandbag calculator: 99+

[@Aeklypsis]

Since you 're lapping the sandbags and not picking them up with one motion, don't worry about fixing your grip before the pick-up, you're just wasting time. Pick it up with your forearms as fast as possible and then optimize your grip while it's on your lap anyway.

[@Tom-wn9yh]

What type of bar are you bench pressing with? I've never seen that type of knurling pattern or is it just a bar label?

[@MHB30]

@@Tom-wn9yh it’s just a bar label, similar to eleiko bars. It’s a Hansu power bar

[@rpipower]

[@MrCrowley138]

Is hook grip allowed for the wrecking ball hold?

[@Aeklypsis]

No point, you are wedging the bar against your thighs, so you're basically hook gripping with all your fingers. Also, you'll usually give out from general discomfort and fatigue, not from grip.

[@westman8527]

Do you are anyone on your team have experience coaching or working through nerve damage? Having trouble finding a coach with that expertise.

[@MHB30]

I do not. I think Joe Sullivan may have dealt with that.

[@westman8527]

@MHB30 thank you, I have shattered c5 a few years ago and havnt been able to get past a bw bench due to nerve damage in my triceps despite the rest of my lifts being significantly higher than before the injuries now.

[@ar23x]

name of tequila song in backtraound pls

[@powerlift603]

1st. Do you think Strongman will in some way help you with powerlifiting?

[@MHB30]

Overall I think it will benefit my powerlifting. It did for my squat and deadlift last time. I’ll have more time to make sure bench is on par, as well

[@andymerkel6955]

"sent me to the GD shadow realm" 🤣

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

The wrecking ball hold isn't too taxing?! 😄

[@MHB30]

I’d say compared to the axle bar amrap and sandbag medley, it isn’t.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

@@MHB30 I respect your opinion. But you need to hold it as much as you can. Never tried it, but it seems the most taxing in my view. It's about mental resilience and desire to win...

[@McWhatevs]

@@MHB30 According to Mitch it's "just" a matter of hook gripping and wedging it against your thighs and see who can take the pain (of the hook grip) the longest. As such, he's actually not a fan of it as a test of strength (even though he held the world record for a while there). I'm sure Loz will have tips on it however.

[@karlebrus6095]

When was the last time you got an mri of your spine ?

[@MHB30]

Never had a reason to

[@sw1280]

A MRI of John would be very interesting bc we would know his body composition then. Muscle mass volume, size of tendons. Eddie Hall's tendons aren t that much bigger than the ones of an average man (they did a MRI with Eddie couple years ago). Since John is that strong, i could imagine they would discover something special in his body composition.

[@MHB30]

@@sw1280I’d imagine the biggest factor would be muscle insertion points. I few millimeters can lead to a significant difference in torque
