How Much Weight Can a Barbell Hold? | STRENGTH TEST

- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2018
- We've seen dudes load up lots of weight on the bar and we've seen it bend a bit but have always wondered what it'd take to bend it in half. Solution? Load up the bar with thousands of pounds and see what it'd take to break the thing in half! Did we succeed? We definitely gave it our best shot.
What should we test out in the future? Let us know!

I say for twice a week
Don’t feel like deadlifting today
You are a bisciple
Ah yes a fellow member of the church of iron, bless your gains
That driver can now proudly tell people "I lifted a 1770 lb barbell"
Actually 2000 lb lmao!
Underrated comment mate 😂👏🏻
But I see why it’s underrated, because many folks don’t understand the joke.
Chris Hernandez its not hard to understand what? lol
fatcat s example you don’t understand what I’m saying
The tractor can lol
That just shows how strong Eddie hall is to the point where normal people need a machine to lift what he does
DonkerKraig the crazy thing is buff dudes aren’t normal guys, they’re pretty strong dudes and even they’re needing to use a machine.
That’s kinda how world records work my guy
Steffen Pedersen yeah but the weight they brought in the machine for Eddie can do casually
So yeah, eddie is no more lol. Long live the king @Hafthor
@@silvioramos6600 I'm not sure how thor doing 1 kilo more than eddie completely undermines his record. He was still the first to do it.
Incredibly, the barbell didn't yield until the 1200 pound load was applied. And most of that weight was being suspended on the very ends of the barbell, where it produces the greatest amount of bending stress. It's safe to say that no man on earth is going to be permanently bending a properly-loaded barbell anytime soon.
Depends on the bar. There are videos of people bending cheap barbells.
Hold my beer
It could break due to shear stress too. Or with even less if you have a closer grip. Its super easy to calculate tbh
@@adrianhalvorsen7013 The barbell would yield by bending long before it would shear in half. It's basically a steel beam with point loads. The only way it could fail in shear is if you applied a concentrated load right next to a support, which is never going to happen in real use.
@@johnbarron4265 of course im just providing some extra information, its either shear of moment that breaks it (seeing as we have no axial loads) But a close grip meaning 1 point load in the middle would make it yield way faster. Do you happen to know a barbells yield stress due to moment or shear? I would assume around 300-400 N/mm^2
This is what stops me from going to the Gym. Don't wanna spoil the Barbell after my 1200lb deadlift.
lol
Same
Same here bro
i overhead press 1200lb for warming up. Then i lift the entire gym.
I got thrown out of my gym, after breaking several of them.
“Yeah buddy, yeah buddy, light weight baby”- Ronnie Coleman
the legend in the gym
Aint nothin but a peanut!!!
I was literally thinking about that.
says the caterpillar
That was his magical mantra. If anything was too heavy for him he could just shout “LIGHT WEIGHT” and it would become lighter.
I’m surprised there aren’t people commenting about how bad the form was
better than what you can do
@@kaiden9446 Doesn't matter, along with the fact that both of us don't actually know what Wiley Minix can lift. You can fully acknowledge that someone is stronger than you, but still have your doubts if it wouldn't be better for someone to lower the weight by 20 pounds and maintain proper form.
Are professional soccer players above the rules of the game, simply because they are better than you and me?
Soccer😂😂😂
It's a max deadlift, what do you expect?
I was talking about the actual caterpillars form because everyone always comments on people’s form in workout videos and it gets super annoying.
imagine returning the barbell to the store and being like, "yeah it isnt good enough, it bent"
That's epic
The fact that someone can lift 1000+ pounds is crazy
Eddie Hall The beast WSM 500kg deadlift recorder (1102.31lbs)
Issa Croissant Eddie hall. He’s been doing strongman along with doing a lot of deadlifting and deadlift accessory movements to achieve a 500KG (1102lb) deadlift. Plus he could probably rack pull the weight of a Volkswagen, if the rack could even hold that amount of weight up.
And now Thor too
Thor made Eddies lift look awful. He lifted it like he was warming up for 520kg. The man is on another level.
@@MK_2023. the fight is gonna be pretty cool no matter who wins
*if that bar ain’t bendin’ you jus pretendin’*
That sounds like my high schools football/weightlifting modo haha
Ronnie Coleman
Blitz Chrome jeez that was cringe
Blitz Chrome barrrsss
LukstrGamr says the one with the max profile picture 😂 (mine is pretty bad too)
Eddie can snap that bar and deadlift it more than the machine, if only he was HYDRATED😆
Not one single dislike, hell YES, this says alot about the quality of the video but also the quality of viewers in here!
You guys didn't need the forklift. You could've simply called Dom Mazzetti.
But dom would fuck around and curl the forklift with the bar XD
Just Some Guy without a Mustache see u everywhere
Heh
BRO FACT
Just Some Guy without a Mustache or brad castleberry
Damn that vehicle had an awesome leg and back day
Imagine the Vehicle DOMS tomorrow.
Fr tho
Lmfao that’s babyweight for that cat, he’s trying to cut
Not vehicle its a 'caterpillar whip'
If its being used to transport then its a vehicle.
That green screen switch was nice.
Your dad was like what the heck is he taking about looking at the wall lol
I was hoping to see another video like this in my recommended. You guys should do more stuff like this
That vehicle is jacked.
On me
Lmao facts bro!
lmao, best comment
Pyramid Ceres fucking dick head tractor used fucking steroids you fake ass taking up for a faker
That's not Natty tho def using the juice
This is good to know! I was thinking of bumping up my wrist curls to 2000 lbs but now I know it would be a bad idea!
oMg tHaTs nOt pOsSiBlEsS!!1!11!1!!
Yeah man, they saved us from disaster.
Lmaooo
The fact that all those weights in total right now value around $4000 is insane lol
EPICnicity at its finest! Congrds, I've subcribed :p
I need a relationship as strong as that barbell
and it will bend ,
go for the straps used to hold the barbell 😁
Hopefully that relationship won't have videos of itself all over social media like this clip
royalrod _ #rip
😅😂🤣
Nope. Not in this life compadre.
Planet fitness has left the chat
Tommy Yeezy lMao😂
They left the chat at 225 lbs
They never even entered the chat to begin with 🚮
They left when it wasn’t a fixed curl bar
I keep seeing the joke about leaving planet fitness and iam not understand it ?
First time watching buff dudes. These are some cool dudes.
I love the thumbnail so accurate
how is that lock holding tho
We welded them on. 🔥
Are bhai bhai . Thugesh bhai idar
. Aap ka max deadlift kitna hai
Ooooh launde kaha gaya tha?
@@detroitsmash622 m
Mahesh keshwala😂
I think the real champion here are the barbell collars
The one on the left deserved to get fired, the one on the right is a champion
I thought the straps
waranghira no lifting slings can take several tones
I was thinking the same damn thing. That was insane.
Jackson Bigel
Well, this was an ego boost. I'm a big guy, both strong and overweight. When I was working out my deadlift hit 470 so seeing them at 495 makes that seem impressive. Never considered myself buff because I'm not the image of atlas, but this still changes my perspective.
@@6hevy.silverad0 how much cap do you want to order: "Your whole stock"
@@6hevy.silverad0 🤦♂️you gotta be kidding did you think anyone would believe you?
@@6hevy.silverad0 bruh I think people would know who you are if you could bench that much, and I don’t see anyone saying “Hey look! It’s apocalyptic bullets! Wow!
@@balls424 what did they say?
@@Amexfool17 what'd they say
just FYI, that pic is a white Rhino, and they weigh between 3000 and 5000lbs... totally awesome video. huge fan of the buff dudes! keep the vids comin guys
Volume was loud. Intro "welcome to buff dudes..." yep, everyone in my house thinks im watching gay porn.
lol oops
I mean, that's nothing new for you, right?
Yeah right 1200 pounds that's a world record pound lift in your dreams
@@gaylonpoindexter3395 you replied to the wrong comment lol
Hahahahaha
What a great unconventional yet immaculously entertaining father son activity.
Those were definitely conventional deadlifts bruh
Immaculously? You mean immaculately?
Nigga ..what?
harvard called and ask if you want a scholarship nigga
You just making up your own words 😂
Nice video because i always ask my self how much too. Tx you for sharing.
I am impressed with those barbel clips too...The drums are hanging from them.
Usually I deadlift 2000 on even a bad day and I don’t wanna discourage the rest of the guys at the gym so I go to a reasonable amount of just 100 and make it look like I’m struggling to boost the other guys’ confidence. I’d say I’m a pretty nice guy 😎.
I see you like kevin gates
David Watts yes very much so
@@justinhartman-brown5866 im not the only one
Your are too nice
Cap
I think this vid makes what Eddie Hall did even more impressive
Yes he did 1100 pounds
I mean isn't 1100 pounds impressive no matter how strong the bar is lol
@@jalapenopoggers8310 Yeah, but it puts some perspective to just how much weight that is.
Buff dudes? More like buff machines. Lol, I enjoyed this video.
You guys just made a world record
Nothing flex tape can’t fix
Just put it in rice
The first time I read that I heard it as Phill Swift
This barbell company should use this video to market their barbells :D
Great video guys
I put up 405 on deadlift and had bend too it and my strength coach wasn’t even impressed that bar you guys have is insane
This lil cat broke the world record in deadlift 😆😆😆
Eddie who?
@@mv1991 the tractor
@@Giovanni_Litterini boi
Whoosh
It's definitely on gear.
The CAT has got some deadlift strength
Yo that CAT machine has some great ass fundamentals, you see the initial drive and then the lock out. That dude is not a human, that dude is robotic
Whoever made that bar made ALOT of prototypes like damn that thing was NOT going down without a fight!
This is why Shaggy can’t work out, because the barbell breaks past 2,000 lbs
Jake xlz 😂😂😊
Depends what barbell Texas barbell seem to be the toughest
Just use a car or building
This is why I can't workout
He could still work out, This is a dumb joke
Dudes c'mon... all that work... next time just call me😆😆😆
Bebetto TheNinjaDrummer lmaooo
Betto we'd be afraid you'd explode it!
Buff Dudes
well i think it would have holded more. think of it like a muscle. you guys kept putting more and more. Which meant lifting more.
if someone's max is 500
and they keep doing 500 their arms will tire and won't do 500 anymore. Eventually lifting less. i think all the weight you guys put was bending it but the more you put the more it bent each time. Eventually only bending at 2000
i think that if you were to do 2000 from the start it would have lasted longer.
i hope what i am saying is making sense
@@I_AM_3.6.9. That makes sense. But if someones max was 2k, they wouldn't start at that weight! And it still would have been severely bent
Buff Dudes Dude u should of called me. I could have lifted that so exz
It also depends on where you load the weights and where you grip the barbell.
To sum it up, you have created a giant metal boomerang
Just goes to show how powerful guys like world's strongest man Brian Shaw are, when they deadlift and flex the bar. Really interesting and cool video dudes.
Yeah it really puts it in perspective. Amazing a human is capable of lifting that much weight.
@@buffdudes absolutely. So much respect for those guys. By the way, off subject but relating to your video yesterday about fast food, my wife makes an awesome substitute for a bread cob (what we call the burger bun where I live in England). She blends 100 gram of spinach leaves, then mixes with 2 eggs and flour until it makes a paste and fries the mixture in a pan to make the buns. Sounds weird but it makes a great, high protein substitute.
Ah we will try it out, thanks Gary!!
Eddie Hall has the deadlift world record and you're gonna mention Brian Shaw smh...
@@mv1991 he was just the first name that came to mind. How could I forget big Eddie won the WSM title in 2017 🤔
That barbell has transformed into an EZ bar now
No it transformed into a daffalo bar
TheProsico LOL
Lmao
lol
I didn't get it
They're a great team!
I’m impressed that the ropes are that strong
You guys should do a drop test on 45lb steel plates, and see how long it would take to crack on a standard gym floor
Oh yeah that's a great idea. Keep lifting it higher and higher until it smashes. If we shoot it we'll definitely give you a shout out Carl!
@@buffdudes I dropped a 25kg plate on my patio. Smashed 3 slabs.....the wife aint happy...😐
Plates are usually cast iron not steel. Cast can withstand huge amounts of impacts as opposed to steel so it would probably take you dropping it off a building to break
Do this and I will subscribe!
@@mattmarriott6560 Cast iron is more brittle than steel I'm pretty sure
What kinda barbell clips did they use to keep those weights on tho... 😳
bryangoo123 chuck Norris’ hands
Probably the 2.5kg ipf clips
@@craigairey5696 this clips aren't the ipf clips. This are just some basic clips which you can find on the internet
@@TyranoShokZz they look strong for basic clips. I have seen people deadlift 300kg and have standard clips pop off
They welded them on so it doesn't matter.
Whoa that is truly awesome lifting dudes. You showed gravity whos the boss there
The real heros are the ropes holding the bar
I think the only reason why they made this video was to get that picture at the end
I agree
Worth it
Lmao on god bro! It was interesting tho!
Yea
OMG LOL I DIDNT NOTICE!!!! I thought those where fake Weights
Love this channel. Y’all do difference stuff which makes this channel way more interesting!
Im just super impressed by those collars
Imagine frying your central nervous system just to bend a barbell😂😂 this guy's are truly buff dudes to the core
huge respect for all of your workouts! I'm trying to get better every day and help people who don't have the equipment yet or knowledge to still be able to reach their health and fitness goals
“Ain’t nobody wanna lift no heavy-ass weight.”
oh lmao, thats my weight for curl reps.
This is right in between inspiring and discouraging
Dude...my 2000lb rep of 20 held up, idk why this one didnt
lmao hell naw
2000 that's a ton right there that's as big as a ram truck you're basically saying you can pick up a ram truck
Jake Trost 🤦♂️
Pussy only repped 20
Big boy halo moment noob
This video made my back hurt
@Princess C hey man you just gotta use proper form sometimes
Haha lol why did you try that
I feel bad good luck in the future
Yeah their form is trash
Load your muscles properly
I really like ur life style. Awesome.
THUMBNAIL LOOKS KINDA COOL.
in the buff dude's machine mind: "LIGHTWEIGHT BABEEEE"
NUTHIN' BUT A PRANUT BABEE
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s material for clip manufacturers to test the strength of their products... you can get a sponsor for this
True
They welded the clip on

How much weight can a barbell hold?
"More than you can lift, pal. Olympia"
Should’ve just called in brad castleberry instead of the forklift 😂😂

Who’s here, during quarantine, checking all those weights they have 🥺
I also felt bad for the bar too.
If the bar ain't bending, you're just pretending.
Dmitry Krupenya i dont get it xD can you explain this comment haha
UltimatePrinceofBB something a gym teacher or trainer would say when you say the weight you doing is too heavy.
UltimatePrinceofBB not meaning you cant do it, but meaning you showing off strength so much you turn red
alright got it
@@UltimatePrinceofBB no, it's what massive meatheads say because they can actually make the bar bend.
One minute of silence for that Poor barbell 😢
R.I.P

was propably a shitty barbell anyways

issa nice grab for back pull
You guys could have added more weight. I see two perfect 220lbs buff dudes that could have gone on each side
Haha damn that would've been quite the finale
@EEE ZZZ with buff dudes approved safety equipments such as helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, goggle, mouth guard, waist belt, straps, it will be safe
I don’t think that would work
@@drawdengod sure, until the bar snaps and those barrels fall on them...
The bar could snap and go full speed towards them on each side on the way down.
That's why I can't lift weights at the gym... Because the bars aren't strong enough...😔😒😟

God damn ronnie the king coleman
Yea and now hes fucking crippled cuz he trained like an idiot.
1) Used steroids - check
2) is more or less crippled now
2000 still needs insane amount of strength so cant really take it away from him. Not worth it though.
