Strong pulls, 848 for a double was no joke.

insanity both of you

That’s you?!? Damn bro you are a beast!

What the hell, those ab wheel rollouts are freaky, the funny thing is that only people who do ab wheel will know how hard that is.

385kg x2 was crazy strong dude, nice looking deadlifts as well. Beast

He is an Introvert, nothing wrong with that. He is Humble and doesn’t like attention. He is just keeping it real and being himself and he is obviously a happy person or he wouldn’t be able to break all these records.

I don't get how strength correlates to liking being on a camera

Thinking the same thing, dude still has fresh scares on his Knees and is pulling that. Insane

Thanks man, training with the strongest around makes me want to step it up! Really happy my body recovered well and I can still do what I love. I'm a simple man- lift heavy weight with friends, feel happy

@@Gimmlie6262 After such a grisly injury, his knees will forever be scared.

Yeah how the fk is he pulling that after that catastrophic bilateral knee injury already…

But his haircut is perfect!

Don't insult him like that. He is still experiencing linear progression aka newbie gains

He needs your weight gain 4000 to become a real beefcake

Eric, what can I do to get to your strength level?

@@ryan_s Stop taking your medication

Yea, I just didn’t do much accessories this week as I had to squeeze the workout into a busy week

Thank you! It was pretty tough at times but I’m beyond grateful to be able to throw heavy weight around with friends again.

@@Gingercules I had gingervitus once.

It’s been pretty much the same

@@MHB30 have you ever had back pain? Or are you perfect

We just party at the gym

@@MHB30 haha. Good stuff man. I'm a complete noob just starting out Stronglifts5x5 this year and your coaching cues on a video I stumbled upon for some exercises really helped me!

I think more to push myself away from the bar

@@MHB30 thanks man!

@@MHB30 noticed if l can leave shoulders out of movement and just squeeze elbows together it's great, but doesn't apply to every workout, some weird rythim

More Bend better leverage

OnlyFriends

I just like how it feels

@@MHB30 nice. Never seen it before, might give it a try tomorrow

Pete Rubish does it because it helps sort of clamp his hands shut which slightly helps with grip.

I tried it, it was pretty nice. It just kinda numbs the hands and it's fun for grip and rip

Ken Cooper

It’s water. Little cleaner than baby powder

John can lengthen and shorten his arms at will

There is videos of him explaining that he is been doing the process of getting tight for deadlift for so long that it has increased in speed overtime and now is at a level that it looks like grip and rip when he is as right as can be

@@dwoolwichpoly9086 can you point me to those vids?

You waste so much energy and risk losing rigidness by spending all that time at the bottom of the lift, not to mention “locking air and creating pressure”

@@davidsaunders7118 I don't know what you mean when you write "not to mention locking air" (you mean like a diaphragm squash?), but for the rest I agree with you. But I find it impossible to tense lats and grab a hook grip and set butt down at the bottom (to avoid lower back emphasis) with a grip and rip. That's why I wanted the answer to this question...

@@peterleggatt3642 the stronger I got, the less time I spent “setting up.” By definition he’s not really ripping, if you watch slowly the moment he grabs the bar, it’s a smooth transition along with the slack(meaning he’s done his set up already.) and the squash is another way to word it, I get some air locked in through a deep breathe and use it to create pressure.

I’m awkward on camera

@@MHB30 We(the fans) absolutely adore you though. Keep doing what you're doing. Doesn't look awkward to me. More real than most.

@@thibaultdelandsheer9109 Based

Decent

@@MHB30 Respectable

Kabuki deadlift bar

Every kilogram matters at that level, every kilo matters honestly at any level when you are try to progress.

@@James_Edward59 While this is true he still made a 10 kg jump from 397.5 kg to 407.5 kg. So he could definitely make a small jump from 397.5 kg to 400 kg

@@RobertSmith-xp1mg We have no idea though, only he knows how his body is feeling and what he feels is a smart jump and what isn’t.

@@James_Edward59 I agree with you. But for sure he could pull 400 kg if he wanted to instead of the 397.5 kg if he made a 10 kg jump later and succeeded

it s psychological trick
