The Lift: Cailer Woolam and Pete Rubish, The Cage 2018

The deadlift showdown between longtime Animal athlete Pete Rubish and Cailer “Dr. Deadlift” Woolam can pretty much be summed up as an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Both ripping immense weights off The Cage platform, they put on a display that you did not want to miss. But in case you did, give it a look right now.

Pete will always be the GOAT in my eyes. #OG

[@armwrestlingelysium]

In your yes.

[@tendonsondemontime1520]

This is honestly a collab I'd wanted forever now. Wish we could see these lifters go at it before getting injured but it was still a nice video.

[@desijattdj]

The last quote by Pete was spot on

[@ericschwartz3582]

Two amazing athletes going head to head

[@trevor_btg]

I wish 825lb at 230ish pounds BW was a “valley” in my training.

[@heavyribassmaiden4924]

Trevor Souik, DPT hahahahah me too

[@leonbenjamin7891]

With a great stash.. Comes great responsibility

[@UniverseAZ]

You can't compare a conventional dead to a sumo dead, sorry but they are 2 different movements.

[@karthikainpudi5264]

Universe. AZ Cailer is still strong as shit on conventional - 843 @ 220 bw

[@UniverseAZ]

Karthik Ainpudi i know but conventional vs conventional would a better and fun match to see.

[@karthikainpudi5264]

Universe. AZ they probably won't be too far apart there either, Pete would edge him out by around 35-40 lbs

[@cuevas2183]

LOL.. if that's the case don't you think Pete would also go sumo?.. no because he has different leverages than Cailer

[@Apacus225]

Hellll yea

[@forbesfoofighters]

No offense but why would Pete go for 845 when 825 barely went up. There was 0% chance he was making that lift.

[@alexisvnc]

To give everything you got that day. He also switched bars if you didn’t noticed

[@Freshprankstv1]

Unless he went “ultra instinct”

[@cuevas2183]

There's a point where a lifter crosses the line into ego lifting or just plain ignorance of their own limit. No offense to Pete but this is why he gets injured often.

[@cuevas2183]

@@alexisvnc Yeah but a smart lifter would of stuck to the original weight, a bar doesn't make miracles.

[@bluedogguy]

I support Pete.

[@mr.maverick700]

Pete is the man sumo doesn't count

[@Гоги-з8б]

sumo style is shit(((( classic this is true power!!!!!!!!

[@stevemcqueen1916]

This clip is proof that deadlifts do not build muscle size and mass, edit: guess i need to say i respect the hell out of them because theyre both brutally strong deadlifters but theyre skinny

[@jobenmcquaid6842]

Steve Mcqueen really? These guys are fucking huge

[@marcellowheeler88]

What? Did you smoke crack before you hit the post button?

[@stevemcqueen1916]

Kevin Areynolds lol really?

[@stevemcqueen1916]

Lol the Woolam guys arms look like theyre 13 inches and he has bird legs and Rubish doesnt look much bigger

[@trevor_btg]

Watch Cailer’s videos, look at his back, and tell everyone that deadlift don’t build muscle.
