I watched a video of Donna Moore doing an 800? lb deadlift single and thinking the same thing; she just sets it on the ground without any fanfare. Meanwhile people in the gym turn it into a push-pull compound exercise by doing a single with a fraction of that weight and then heaving it onto the ground as hard as possible.
I thought Lamar Gant held the deadlift world record of 300kg at 60kg weight class set back in 1985. Edit: apparently Lamar Gant did 312kg at 60kg back in the 80s. incredible.
Then sir I think we need a video of a anatomically correct breakdown of his lifting form with his bone structure. I’ve seen you’re work and I love it. Also his legs are tree trunks did you see those quads.
Ya, that's what I was thinking. I can't even imagine how much of a challenge working through all that was for both him and his family, yet he's hit the point where he can turn it into a WR. Champion and inspiration at multiple levels. 🏆
Guy in another post said his name is Stuart and his parents were told at birth that he wouldn't live past 2 years old...but here he is breaking record's.
What society in general MAY see as a deformity or an "abnormality", we lifters and bodybuilders see as the final ultimate evolved form of a deadlifter!
@@jjones9822 He has scoliosis, which is where the spine has twisted and curved to the side, so it seems shorter. If you look at his back as he walks off stage you can see that it's not symmetrical.
Can we just take a moment to respect the fact that not only did he fully lift up that heavy load..... But he also slowly went down with it! Most people drop it
Years ago there was a Sports Illustrated article about another lifter, from Detroit I believe, who had a similar physique. However, this lifter additionally had a spine that would compress under heavy loads such that the bar only had to move a very short distance when he was deadlifting. My recollection from the article is that he held deadlift records in four different weight classes. The article stated that doctors who had examined him were amazed he could even walk given the curvature of his spine. He attributed his mobility and health to his weightlifting regime.
I also have a very short torso and long arms. My wingspan is about 6'4", and I'm only 5'8" tall! Deadlift will probably always be my best lift, and unfortunately, bench will probably always be my worst.
Just a word to everyone who wants to see him do sumo . . His build is too perfectly suited to conventional deadlift. If he were to try sumo, his long legs would negate any possible advantage he might otherwise have. Remember: Long legs and a short torso contribute as much to being a good deadlifter as do long arms. You need all three. I've got long arms. I'm 5' 7" tall, but my arm span is an even 6 feet. But that is totally negated by my somewhat longish torso and slightly shortish legs. I'm not really advantageously built for any particular lift. All of which made me a decent all-rounder back in the day. All three lifts made the same millimetric progress at the same time. 🙂
I am not convinced torso to leg ratio is much of a factor. We see too many examples of people with longer torso and shorter legs doing well. Take Jamal for instance. Arm length is important, and short femur to tibia ratio is important. Femur length and hip mobility will dictate how upright you can get your torso. Arm length will also dictate this. I am the same height, have long arms, short legs and longer torso. Yet within a few months of deadlifting I was already up to 250kg.
you know if your arm span is more than 6mm your overall height, it was found after thousands of DNA comparisons that you have ansestors that bred amongst the self's. The historic research suggests that the main reasons were your ansestors were of a royal lineage and thus not wanted to pollute the rogal blood line or the exact opposite, people so stupid they would have sex with anyone or anything, inclouding immediate family and animals.
@@CronosXIIII . . Which indicates that you are an easy gainer. Now don't be upset about that. Many people who just don't train hard enough or in the way that suits their body best, wear their "hard-gainership" like a crown! It took me many years of diligent hard consistent training to get to 250kg in both the squat and the deadlift. My squat maxed out at 295kg in the gym and a piece of cake 272.5kg in competition and my deadlift maxed out at 275kg in the gym and 262.5kg in competition. I lifted as a lifetime clean Powerlifter . . never took any steroids and never took any stimulants beyond a cup of coffee here and there.
Long torso and short legs is an advantage in the squat as far as I know. Edit: it's actually long torso and short femur as mentioned above, but I would assume that if you have short legs you will tend to have a short femur.
@@Matias-fz9bk . . You're right on the money there. About the only thing I've got in my favour is a slightly shorter femur. Long tibia, real long arms, but that all meant that I was an all rounder, not a specialist in any lift. I used to be considered a bench press specialist, but that was only because of all those wasted years I spent doing bodybuilding training. I was an advanced lifter in terms of years spent training hard, but a novice as far as powerlifting training went. But after years of competition I came through the ranks, and the day I did the first 600 pound squat and the first 700kg total lifetime clean, I also won best lifter! That's pretty unusual for someone weighing 110 kg. Normally it's the guys from the 67.5kg to the 82.5kg classes who win that on formula. I did the biggest deadlift that day as well at 262.5kg. After I did the 275kg DL at home the following year, my back started giving me problems.
The fact that a person with perfect leverages overcame his condition and broke the record is not only unlikely but very.... awesome Edit: wait, is he actually a world record holder?
I like the idea that some could make fun of this guys stature and he can turn around and say "I am literally the best known human in the world at a certain thing. Are you?"
Is this the world record in comp for deads? I’ve seen 60kg pull over 300kg before. 5x body weight is pretty much super human and only for a select few in the world.
how does a short torso help deadlift tho? short legs help, and long arms help, both cause of reduced ROM but a short torso is more of an disadvantage cause your legs will be disproportionally long in comparison
@@Jamie0175 Agreed. A longer torso is less rigid and is putting more stress on erectors. Conventional deadlift is a nightmare for lifters with a long torso.
more horizontal back angel means more open knee angle- faster off the floor. Short torso means it can take a huge amount of load and nullifies the disadvantage of being more horizontal because of better leverage. Leg length doesnt determine rom just arm length
I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean. Are you saying he doesn’t have “true strength” because he’s built different? Seems to me like he’s made the absolute most out of his natural born talent, which is all any of us can hope for.
It’s a fair question. In powerlifting ‘strength’ is simply measured in kilos moved through an acceptable range of motion. A truer test of ‘strength’ would probably power measured in watts over a given period of sustained time. How you could feasibly measure this is a different question.
@@HkFinn83 that’s a good point. I think 99% of people overlook the skill/proficiency aspect of powerlifting. If you wanted to measure just pure strength you’d have to do isokinetic dynamometry over a bunch of joint actions and take a total or something idk.
Have you ever seen the great Vince Anello? He had short torso and long arms also. I believe his DL was around 830 at 181 or so. He also competed in bodybuilding .
That's basically me lol. Last competition, 255 kg DL, 122.5 kg BP. I've had shoulder issues since then and completely plateued on BP. Going for 280 kg DL upcoming competition, and doubt I'll be able to bench more than 100 kg due to pain.
@@placeholder8671 most record holders have long legs because most people with long arms have long legs and long arms are advantageous. But ideally you would want short legs with long arms that would be the ultimate. Less range of motion just not many lifters if any possess those perfect leverages.
@@jdj2022 I remember watching Chuck Dunbar dead lifting at a meet in Georgia. He was a dwarf whose strength was amazing. He pulled the bar off the ground easily, but struggled tremendously above his knees. Looking at him it seemed to me his dead lift would be incredible, but it wasn't. I don't know why.
@@jdj2022 no dawg shorter legs in relation to torso length is worse because you have to bend over more to reach the bar meaning you won’t be as upright as someone with longer femurs and a shorter torso in relation. My friend has a 78”wingspan at 5’10” and I have a better starting position for the deadlift being 6’0” with a 75.5” wing span because my legs are like 4-5” longer than his.

Dude had control of the bar even in the eccentric part most guys will just slowly let gravity do the work, but damn brodie has been blessed by the deadlift gods
Whats the tier list like for deadlift proportions? He mentions short torso is a good thing when combined with long arms But what if u have a relatively short torso (long femurs), with average length arms? My torso is nearly parallel to the ground when the bar comes off tbe ground (bar under scapula) and i feel like its a pretty shit position

He's certainly got the build for it. Reminds me of Vince Anello and Bob Peoples
That has to hurt a lot more than someone who is structurally aligned. What a savage. Generating that kind of force with mechanics like that.
Dude had control of the bar even in the eccentric part most guys will just slowly let gravity do the work, but damn brodie has been blessed by the deadlift gods
Could tie his shoes standing straight up! What a monster 👹
Whoooa Volkanovski got his arms extended and is ready for a comeback!!!
His pure presence alone is enough to shake the pixels of this very video's quality
Actually, he was 6’ 7” tall when he started deadlifting competition 10 years ago. 😄😄😄
Whats the tier list like for deadlift proportions? He mentions short torso is a good thing when combined with long arms
But what if u have a relatively short torso (long femurs), with average length arms? My torso is nearly parallel to the ground when the bar comes off tbe ground (bar under scapula) and i feel like its a pretty shit position
man looks like that cartoon tasmanian devil Taz. wanna see him doing sumo
I just freaking love his celebration haha it reminds me of the old Popeye cartoons for some reason
Imagine if he pulled sumo
Lamar Gant lifted 287.5kg raw@56kg class in a full meet with a stiif bar in 1980！！！
The chap may be built different, but he can pull his own weight, that’s for true.
