Dude, on lifts like deadlift, you have to just straight up stop the lift if the people's form is atrocious and injury-prone like that old dude who don't know what they're doing. Cmon...

He’s coming back. Jesus Christ is returning and He wants to save you! God loves you and sent His only begotten Son to finish the work on the cross for our benefit. To lay down His life so that we can have eternal life ❤️ That’s the kind of love God has for you. To shed His blood on that cross so that your sins can be washed away. So that we can be with Him in His kingdom. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and surrender to Him. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life 🔥 No one comes to the Father but by Him. He loves you much more than you think. He’s merciful and gracious. He will satisfy you. He will save you. And when He laid down His life, He rose from the dead 🔥 Repent before it’s too late, God bless you 🙏

you should have a challenge where there's a 185 - 225lb barbell on the floor and the people have to figure out how to barbell back squat without a rack to start them off, they literally have to start with the barbell on the floor. Extra money if they know how to do the steinborn squat vs clean and jerk method.

If you are strong as f or if it has lesser weight ratios (i.e 40:10 or 30:10) you can lift it from the lighter side as well.. just lift with your right hand and push against the weight from your left hand holding at the end of the bar.

@XSlapHappy91X 7 ай бұрын

That's exactly what inwas thinking. One hand on the outside and one maybe a foot away from the inside. If that didn't work (due to the end hurting your hand too much) I would have don't exactly what Nick did and just grab with both hands right next to the weights, maybe reverse grip it.

@62pianoguy 6 ай бұрын

My first thought as well, but then I noticed the safety clip that was occupying nearly all of what little bar space would otherwise be available on that end...and there would probably be no way to grip that unless you had enormous hands. And removing the clamp would definitely have been unsafe (and probably a liability issue).

There's three ways to accomplish this lift. One is a hand on each side of the heavy side, another is how Nick did it, and the third is shoulder width grip against the heavy side, pushing down on the hand toward the lighter side while pulling up on the heavier side.

@SohilRathi 8 ай бұрын

There is a large gravitational force pulling the left end downwards and a smaller gravitational force pulling the right end downwards. In order for the torques (i.e. the rotation caused by a force) to balance, the distance from the heavy weight must be small and the distance from the lighter weight must be big as torque = force * distance. Therefore, by pulling the bar from a spot very close to the large weight, the weight will be stable and won't rotate in a particular direction.

the physics invloved - TORQUE = F * R R is the distance from axis of rotation . the axis is where you are trying to lift it F - Force(in this case gravitation ) = mg(mass*gravity) so the far you hold the bar from the heavy side the more hard it is to lift. as R increase ,torque increases

I’m actually baffled that they don’t understand that picking up the lighter side or the middle is only going to move the lighter side of the bar because the force of the 80kg side is way too strong if you aren’t lifting relative to the weight distribution. It’s like a scale almost, if it’s all tipping to the left, pick up the weight from the left to even it out.
