[@gloid4051]

I mean size in deadlift favlours the smaller competitor. Deadlifts aren't relative to height (e.g the weight is always 25cm off the floor in a statting position, not like 1/8th of the competitors height). The smaller you are, the more of a "rack pull" you do.

[@thanos9536]

@@J_W_R_I this argument is so old and so dumb. Taller people are always the strongest in the world and lift the most weight. If there was a weight cap, shorter people are stronger, because they have higher relative strength, but for absolute strength it’s always the tall people who win. Why is it virtually everyone who deadlifted over 900 pounds is tall?

[@Fereshtey]

[@kristofevo]

Eddie Hall explained why Novikov did so well in this , because he’s not the best at standard deadlifting, compared to a lot of the guys in that lineup. He said it was because of his long arm length and height, giving him an advantage.They stood side by side and his arms are slightly longer than Eddies, which Eddie was surprised at! But that doesn’t discount the fact he still had to be hugely strong to pull that weight.

[@filipraos8072]

Not really, its because he focused on partials. How are long hands bad for regular but good for partial at the same time?

[@kristofevo]

Filip Raos Long hands🤣 My friend i never said anything about his hands! If you think about it...the longer your arms the shorter the range of motion you have to travel to stand up straight with the weight..Plus Novikov is not so tall, in strongman terms so not so far to travel.I think Eddie meant that his height to arm length ratio is what suited him so well in this event, as Caron, Shaw and Tom can deadlift more than him in a standard deadlift and Jerry Pritchett massively out deadlifts him in the standard deadlift. Eddie did an interview with him and he explains it better than me and when you see visually, what he’s talking about , its easier to understand.

[@gravemind6536]

@@J.c410 That was before Benedikt Magnusson, Eddie Hall and then Halthor came and changed the deadlift game.

[@kennynakawaki]

Okay, I suppose I should change my comment. Brian was one of the best deadlifted for awhile, deadlifting 1,000+lbs every single competition. However, lately over the past years like since 2017/18, he’s really gone down a lot. Probably because of the hamstring injuries and we just don’t really see him train heavy heavy deadlifts anymore in his videos. Probably the last impressive deadlift we saw him do was at the Shaw Classic back in December when he deadlifted the 4 hummer tires, but even then he struggled af

[@makaan699]

@@gravemind6536 But Brian pulled almost as much as Eddie in the Arnold Classic setup (elephant bar, raw) and did all his best deadlifts in full competitions while Eddie did them as single events only training the deadlift. Also Benedikt was a deadlift specialist in his later years. Before his 2018 hamstring injury, Brian definitely had a shot at the WR, but being a well rounded strongmen is what makes his and especially Thor's deadlift so impressive, they trained for everything.

"I have no idea how lifting or high level athletics work."

[@tattermounger]

Lots of misinformation here so I just want to make a few things clear. There are a lot of factors influencing a deadlift. 1) Being tall is a disadvantage as you have to pull the weight higher, BUT... 2) Taller people can pack more muscle in their frames, allowing them to become stronger, BUT... 3) Having a lot of fat also helps in increasing strength and typically very tall people can put on less fat before having serious health issues than less tall people 4) Having short legs and long arms ALWAYS helps in the deadlift and is THE SINGLE BIGGEST FACTOR that determines how much you can pull relative to your weight 5) This is not a conventional deadlift and the starting position is much higher, thus being short and having long arms/short legs is DISPROPORTIONATELY advantageous when compared to the conventional deadlift 6) People can just happen to pull more than they are usually capable of if they are in peak physical condition, have the right mental state or perform the lift under "the right conditions" and this plays a huge role, ESPECIALLY for a world record attempt I believe all of the above statements are factual, you are free to draw your own conclusions about some of the silly arguments in this comment section.

The greater radius of the wheel makes the lifting easier.

[@mikeyfergish]

That's why it's called a "partial"

[@ambrose788]

Can't wait to see your attempt

[@joshyc2006]

Awesome lift, but the figure 8s let you get a few inches of extra leverage, I wonder if they'll ban them in the future

[@gravemind6536]

No they don't and I speak as someone who has used figure 8 straps, you don't decrease range of motion at all you just elimainate grip strength from the equation thats it.

[@judahjeremydelrio7886]

Gravemind nope. They hang below your hand slightly and you get some slack

[@barrymchugh4490]
