@leftphilange69 4 жыл бұрын

I always find it interesting when you see a lifter you’ve known for a while but only seen in context of themselves on camera and then you see them next to another lifter and realize their relative size. I’ve seen guys I thought weren’t that big such as Alan Thrall, then when he was standing next to Brian I realized how much bigger he must look like in real life. And now in this video, you can see just how buff Mark Bell actually is since Brian is such a beast. Just something I’ve been noticing lately - it’s truly impossible to judge someone’s size just based on the camera, even if you see them in the gym with reference points like barbells and plates and other people (that you’ve never met in person). I always wondered how Brian could possibly make the 231 weight class for strongman based on how big he looked, (although lean, I thought he had to be much bigger - but the leanness makes him look even bigger and I believe he said at one point he was 6’0 but I could be wrong so not a short guy by any means...) Now I can see that a bit more. Just an interesting thought I had admittedly completely off topic. Great video as always Brian. I hadn’t watched Mark or Alan’s content in years (not because I didn’t like them, I just drifted away to different channels) so I’m glad you’ve reintroduced me to them. They both are great content producers and athletes. It’s also very nice to see your channel taking off and finally getting the recognition it deserves. You’ve been putting out top quality content for years and it’s finally paying off. I expect it will only grow exponentially from here. Keep it up brother!!

Yeah I thought mark bell was kinda short and just really beefy because if you look at when he was a powerlifter he seemed really full of muscle, but now that he doesn't have it I thought he was just the average experienced lifter, but he is still huge, I thought Brian was huge too, I didn't know how big mark was until I saw them together. Imagine the world's strongest men..

Thanks for this vid and introducing me to not only your vids, but Mark Bell's too. After a four year hiatus, I started lifting again late last year. In my quest for a 300lb deadlift, I've been looking at assistance exercises and better techniques. Mark's technique to get the body weight behind the bar quickly and pushing the hips forward helped me achieve my goal to pull 300 before I turn 71, in a couple months, with a 305 triple. Thanks gentlemen.

@mohawk3371 4 жыл бұрын

Dead lifts are weird. It's the one lift where I may see huge variation in the amount of weight I can move depending on the day. If I'm doing a 1RM on a bench, press, or squat, I rarely miss the weight I'm trying to hit, and if I do it's only by 5 lbs, or so. And I also rarely go above my weight, and if I do, again it's by 5 lbs or so. The dead lift is a different story. On an off day I can miss the target weight by 20lbs, and on a really good day, I can exceed the target weight by 20lb. Even on volume weeks, and days, the amount of reps I can do varies workout to workout a lot more with the dead lift, than other lifts. I think maybe my form and technique is all over the place. I hope this video helps.

@MrSocialish 4 жыл бұрын

Probably go too heavy too often

@bensettjefit9954 4 жыл бұрын

I used to think the same until someone pointed out to me that it's a similar percentage variation. I'm going to make up number but let's say your best bench ever is 225. Depending on the day you can probably hit 215 to 230. Which is a 2-4% variation. If your best deadlift is 465 then 2-4% variation is 10-20 pounds. Also, deadlifts tend to be more of a CNS based lift than the squat or deadlift so the variation tends to be slightly higher from what I've found closer to 5-10% which can be as much as 50 pounds depending on the day. A third reason that this might occur is people tend to push themselves harder on deadlifts in comparison to squat and bench. So if you're going for a new one rep max on deadlifts and your deadlift is 465, you're most likely going to attempt 475 then 495. Versus on a squat if your best is 365 then you're going to attempt 375 and then 385. On deadlifts let's say you get that 30 pound PR but it's a real grinder, now you're probably going to be nearer to that 50 pound variation depending on the day.

He also drops his hips a fraction lower (than what Mark Rippetoe teaches) and does not talk about pushing the knees out. I guess this is what works for his body structure. Goes to show how different leverages, limb lengths etc. affect form.
