Was amazing to be involved in this shame I didn't manage the 200kg though! Amazing video, cheers for the opportunity to take part matt see ya soon 💪

Those are not only physically, but also mentally strong men!

Of all the challenges this is the one I’ve been most impressed with. Anything past 120 for a none lifter is really impressive to me

Lifting 3 years and it took me 2 years to deadlift 200kg. This video is proof that manual labourers are strong as hell. I actually worked on a building site 1 day last year and I physically couldn't do it. Like... I had to take rests climbing tools up the stairs and they got annoyed that I was going missing but I was literally dead. They're tougher men than I am. It's a brutal job they partake in.

I expected them to be strong, but their technique was surprisingly good.

Most tradesmen seem to always have underlying back issues, so massive respect to these lads for giving it a go. Lifting 3 plates, let alone 4, having never deadlifted before is very impressive.

Including the people who have been helping you for the past few months in a video is a great idea, their attempts were amazing, and you distracted them from their hard work for a bit 🔥

Builders have definitely been doing safe lifting training with that consistent form!

Even getting 200 off the ground is massively impressive for a non deadlifter.

I am a builder as well and have been for 30 years now .. Deadlift never really been part of my weight training.. Last I tried I did around 140kg but stopped there as I felt my form starting to brake. Builders normally dont lift many heavy things but we lift tons of weight everyday and over the years 10-30 years the str will add up .. I would estimate I do 10-12k steps a day and move 3-5Tons on a normal workday started at 17 47 now .. But ya the level on this building sight was high =) Now go to a office building and repeat it . =)

What a brilliant idea for a video. Loved watching this. Could almost feel the strain with each dead lift. That's a sik team of builders you got there mate 👍

Absolutely phenomenal video! Those man have big heart. Should definitely make this a series during the build. Squats, bench etc

Wtf! These lads are strong. Tomorrow I'm going to bring a brick to the gym and lift it for 8-10 hours.

A 200kg deadlift is a strong lift, especially for somone who doesn't weight train. Hats off to these grafters💪

This is the best video you have done, ever. Excellent content. This better become a series doing bench, overhead press and squat with the builders.

Do this again but make it a grip challenge :) would be interesting to see how they do vs the general public

Good on Bestie for participating, but also knowing when to drop to not injure himself at his presumed age.

Absolutely amazed at natural strength of these guys. Class effort.

please do another with the builders. this made me so happy, great video!

Great video quality the camera is crisp and clean, the builders are super strong

What a skinflint! 🤣 Come on Matt, I'm sure you can afford to give these boys more than £100

Loved this - best lifting challenge yet...great bunch of lads!!

Don't mess with the builders bro !! Mad respect for them!!

Such a good idea for a video. Crazy what their job does for their physical strength

In the trade myself so watching this was definitely a joy, when we seeing a max bench comp 👌🏻

Good vid , I've witnessed many strength feats by my dad and brother without training as such , joiners , day in day out brutal graft , always wondered what my dad in his prime years would have deadlifted

Should do more videos like this, was really great to watch.

Should do your own set of "builders strongman" challenges like this. Example, if you find any big rocks, see who can throw it the furthest, or builders version of a farmers walks with blocks.

You gotta make this a series 🔥👏🏽

All I can think is the next day half didn't turn up for work due to backs being put out 😆 Actually after watching the whole thing I was well impressed. Shows you natural strength they use each day. The fact some of these guys still doing this work in their 60s is unbelievable. I couldn't deadlift that now at all.

These guys are doing the whole pull with straight legs and all lower back,.. that's insane.

Matt, you have done it again! This brilliant. I love that they all had fairly good form.

I'm impressed with the grip strength of these lads

Well Done PAH boys, great effort Arthur you are a machine. Great vid Matt

I’ve just found your channel and subscribed to it, I’m having fun watching these vids

Great video Matt, huge respect to those lads, 👍🏾

Loved this!! Would have liked to see the host do it at the end!!! Great video

Congratulations to you all , amazing lifts so be proud.

I'm the most impressed by the fact some chose to do this in their work boots!!! Insanely strong men 💪🏼 builders don't get enough credit!

Nice Matt your a legend have a nice day thanks for sharing your videos 💪🏻

A 180KG deadlift is actually very good, but we all seem to forget, because of all the absolute monsters of strength around the world. GG lads!

After working masonry for awhile now it brings me joy to see some fellow construction workers rep some weight. Owning it

Video idea, do a day as a labourer for them see how you manage with what they do in a day?

That was really cool having the construction crew do the deadlifts 💪🏼

Hi Matt I loved this challenge your construction workers did very well, and it shows hard labor can get you in very good shape : )

Insane Matt keep it up 🔝💯

Love the vid, love how you give a ton away, but probably cost you grand to have all the builders standing around

loved that belter set of lads you have working for you reminds me of the the lads a work with

I have a story similar to this. I was at a friend's house many years ago. He had a weight set with a barbell and 300lbs. We would pull it out of his garage and lift in his backyard. His neighbor was a very unassuming older man, probably late 50s or early 60s. He did hard manual labor his entire life but was now retired. One day we were outside doing some power cleans with something like 245lbs. I don't recall the exact weight. His neighbor, with who we were friendly and chatted all the time, was watching us and asked one of us if we could pick it up with one hand. We all tried, and none of us could. He came over and proceeded to deadlift the weight over and over with one hand easily. It was impressive for an unassuming older man to lift the weight that easily. Guys that do manual labor their whole life have a different kind of strength compared to regular guys. Especially grip strength.

Great video this type of stuff is 💯 brother

That was awesome to watch some everyday guys lift some serious weight. Brits are some tough dudes!

This was such a fun video , thank you for the laughs

Awesome video man, as a tradesmen that works out regularly, iknew there was plenty of tradesmen I’d seen on sites that would outlift anyone at my local gym. You should go round job sites and find some hidden freaks.The “Swole Smoko” series

Those guys did so well! 💪💪

You know they're gonna be decent builders when there up for getting on camera. New sub

Not quite sure why, but I was more excited to watch this than the ones with the public. LOL

This was different…loved it Matt from New York

Cutting edge sports science... geez respect these guys are strong

that intro scene for the builders was pure art haha nice job

That is unreal. Those boys put others to shame. Awesome work! Loved this vid

I've been lifting for 16 months and my 1RM (estimated) is 198kg. I have massive respect for these guys one the one hand but on the other I can tell they were walking funny the next day.

I’d love to see the builders the next day on site 🤣🤣

bruh imagine being in a neighbouring house and looking out your window to see this😂😂. great vid keep it up matt 🙌👏

Very good technique on the strongest guy on a technical exercise

I love these videos you do!

I'm surprised and impressed. 180..That's a good pull. 👍🏻

Solid numbers from these guys

Plus I know lifting anything heavy can be affected by repetitive strain injury which I seem to have a lot of. And looking after the back aswell. Often my body feels much younger, and often much much older. But dint forget in life in strength and keeping strong, its not about how hard you can hit, but get hit and keep going.

I think we're beginning to see why it's taking forever to get the Morsia compound built.

Impressive lifting from these men!

Love this. This had me in stitches. 😂

I normally top out at 170kg but have been repping for 10-12 all the way up. I'm going to give this one rep per step a go and see where I end up. Good video!

Love it bro keep it up 👍✌

I’m a builder. There’s a lot of lugging/lifting heavy stuff, sometimes for weeks on end. They probably have built up good core strength from this.

Absolutely amazing! I knew construction workers are hella strong person. they don't need gym

Those lads were smashing it..... I just started doing DL this year ( aged 50 ) and got to 155 kg , that said I only weigh 68kg so not too bad...not sure I'd ever crack 180 though. Hats off to these gents.

Those builders are gonna do you an amazing job if you're keeping them this happy

i love this they got so hyped!

This was awesome! More from the builders! Machines 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I was hoping for a Morsia one handed lift at the end!

That's awesome keep up the good content

Wow! I was expecting builders to be strong, but nothing like this. Great video as always.

Amazing video💪💪

What lads for getting involved!

Wow, instant humbling to all us gym bros.

pretty amazing to see. I'm an actaury and I spend my whole life on a computer but I've been training pretty hard in my spare time. My personal best is a 450 pounds deadlift and those guys are close to 440 without even deadlifting :O

GREAT CONTENT BRO 👏👏

Gotta say, I was way impressed with their lifts. That's some serious weight, especiialy for someone who doesn't train for it.

Honestly should’ve upped the prize for these lads! Love the video idea!

Yeah let's see u do it at the end show the builders how its done

No shame there! Couple of strong boys. That is an outstanding lift for none trainers. Cold walk up like that... what? Loved this segment.

Good lord those last reps 👀 some angry cats right there

M8 I’m a roofer and do the gym and had try my hardest to get to 3 plates aside… Hats off boys this was very impressive. But one why Mat to fuck your builders progress up for next few days. I hope you used your head and did this on a Friday 😂

This was a really good video tbh. Good shit

Waiting for next video - Builders VS bench press challenge.😀

you should test there grip strength too construction landscapers auto mechanics ect thats where you'll find some more crazy things

That guy at the end having a smoke in between heavy lifting😅👌

You make this a series 😅 go around to sites around the UK haha

Those guys are strong like apes. They got their strength by simply doing real work so hats off for that.

I have no words for these lads!! Really impressed!! Been training for months to go from 100kg to 155kg dl
