All 500kg Deadlift Attempts 

Actually it's Precisely that. A compilation of those who have attempted a specific benchmark weight -not just a "compilation of heavy deaflifts"... ffs.

@@M1tjakaramazov you say it isn’t just a compilation of heavy deadlifts, but I look at the title of the video and it says “all 500kg deadlift attempts” which means it’s a compilation of all the 500kg deadlift attempts this guy has found. Is sumo deadlift a deadlift? Yes of course it is, so it’s in the video

@@kirayoshikage1491 "It’s not as if this video is an official list with important parameters, it’s just a compilation of heavy deadlifts". Literally your own words. You then try to obfuscate the issue when I point out it very much is a list of something specific by referring to the title which states it's a video about a specific achievements. Not only is it a clumpsy attempt at goal-post moving, it's contradictory as well. And none of it disputes the reasons some people don't consider the sumo deadlift a proper execution.

AND let's hold it for an unnecessary amount of time and almost die because of it, what a legend LMFAO. He didn't have to hold it for that long, but he did, respect, huge balls.

Amen. You watch all the insecure sumo rats complain how it's 'just as legit'! 🤣🤣🤣 If you have to sumo cos you can't do the same weight traditional, fine. But don't bitch about it when people point out it's easier (it's half the range of motion, of course it's easier)!

It is not cheating ,still a deadlift but I personally don't consider it the same as a conventional lift

It’s a different lift and should probably have a separate set of records than standard, but cheating isn’t the right word for it. It’s still a taxing and difficult lift under tremendous weight

Should a wide stance squat be considered different than narrow stance

Squat WR is higher than deadlift WR tho

@@user-zc2ks7pd3d not true squats. They're squatting with crazy outfits for stability

*with PEDs

Metric system is cool, this video could be titled 713.8feet, fingers, earlobes, pinkies or any random weird body part.

This isn't max

I'd love to see him get it as well, but honestly he's tried it so many times I think he should just give it up and focus on becoming a good all-round strongman

Makarov is honourable. He was so close to get 505 that he probably would've gotten 501. But he wants a legit record and not a gym PR. Edit: I realised that Makarov isn't that close. He gets it to his knees because that's where the suit helps the most.

@@Pepe-pq3om Eddie hall rapes him.

His lift seems a little suspicious to me as he’d never done more than 460/465 before that day yet suddenly was able to add 35/40kg to his deadlift - I’ve never heard of any strength athlete who’s been able to add that amount of weight so quickly

@@richardthomas3697 you think he was sandbagging it?

My thoughts are that some of the plates weren’t the weight they should have been It just seems too big a jump in Eddie’s best deadlift to not raise questions, to put it into perspective Thor has recently got back into strength training and it’s taken him a few months to add 30kg to his bench press yet Eddie was somehow able to add 35/40kg to his deadlift in just one day

@@richardthomas3697 that’s pretty hard to say though considering it was in competition, and there were other guys that tried to lift that weight that couldn’t even budge it, plus Eddie Hall trained for that for a whole year I think, and he pulled 420 and 460 off the ground like it was nothing

Maybe the other competitors were lied to and it was only 480/485, Eddie took almost a half hour rest between his lifts so the others had cooled off too much and struggled with the lifts. Also the plates weren’t weighed on camera so the actual weight wasn’t verified as been 500kg As I said the weight jump just doesn’t seem possible as adding that amount of weight takes a long time - have you ever heard of a strength athlete who could suddenly lift 35/40kg over their personal best

Personally i just think they should be viewed as two different lifts and not directly compared

@@Llama_charmer that's what I meant, forgot to say that though.

@@branominal8564 personally i think its a bit like if you mixed a deadlift with a rack pull. Your ROM is decreased and the effort your have to exert is lower so its only natural that you can lift more weight.

Sumo is illegal in strongman and powerlifting is just a meme. The entire effort behind this "sport" is directed towards minimizing ROM. No one cares. Weightlifting and strongman are where the actual athletes are at.

of course, but its still a mad impressive lift to get it up

lol sumo

you have like zero gym knowledge

Almost every lifter except Wierzbicki chose classic deadlift - it means that classic deadlift is easier for most people, due to better leverage.

@@MrRealPrezes lol sure :D maybe it is because classic is better for building back muscle and because sumo is banned in some competitions? so why would even try it? its like saying they choose back squats instead of legpress or machine squat because back squats are "easier" and why is sumo easier? maybe because the ROM? bench is also easier if you have a desk on your chest, even the classical dl is easier if you lift 20cm off the ground or if you end below your knees.

@@rihaveinaiba8269 bro sumo is a larger leg rom because you need to to bend your knees more

Official world record holder

Thor's 501 was sanctioned by WUS and was a stand-alone lift akin to Rogue's Record Breakers. Eddie's 500 actually had less strict rules and cannot be called a true "competition." Eddie brought his own lifting platform and used his own bar. Eddie, as an athlete dictated what the weight jumps would be, which angered other strongmen lifting, including Shaw. Eddie, again as an athlete participating in this show, dictated his own rest times and came out whenever he felt like it, instead of after a set time. Jerry even complained about this stating that Eddie got as much rest as he wanted but the rest of the athletes were told when to come out to lift. Jerry credited his injury to this, stating that Eddie took so long that he cooled down too much from his prior attempt. In no way should an athlete in a legit competition have this much special treatment. Meanwhile, Thor had to follow strict timing between his lifts and was told when he had to come out and how much time he had on the platform. Thor used brand new equipment from Rogue, with each plate being weighed and verified by Magnus and Big Z via zoom. For all intents and purposes, Thor's attempt was closer to a properly regulated competition than Eddie's was.

The mountain beat his record, wierzbicki beat his record. Are you dumb or dumb?

Yeah because the smaller guys doing sumo are so much stronger fucking idiot.

Not natural strength though it is possible because of shit loads of gear

Of course it is an enormous amount of discipline over many years (like in any professional sport on the highest level), but it is at the same time only possible with the correct starting conditions (the right genes at the end), like in any sport. Only a small group have the right body to build up the required strength and most who try fail (as seen partly in the video).

He jumped the record 38kg or something crazy, and in an actual comp. Everyone else pulling 1kg more than the last guy is just not as impressive.

For 100%. He may be the only one now to consider doing it. Maybe with 2-3 other guys on earth

Sumo and conventional should be put into different categories. But regardless of what I or anyone says even if you use sumo stance you still lifted up the weight.

no doubt strong. But it would be more impressive with a 400 kg pull at their bodyweight. A 500 kg sumo isn't a 500 kg pull

"more than I would ever be able to do" .... No shit 😂

Thing is, His weight is much much less than others xd If You comparenfor example to Eddie or Thor xd then He might be half of it 😅

His conventional ROM wouldn’t be much more at all. His body is just built for deadlifts. His joints (which is what actually matters) also would be going through a similar range of motion to the guys who hit 500kg conventional, again a little less because of his leverages.

That sumo lift had no official judges present and the dude who did the lift weighs like 100 kgs at the absolute most. There’s no chance that’s legit.

@@Teyeranitar cope more

gym lifts don't count, sorry

@@mohammadahmed6319You are the one coping

@@mohammadahmed6319 found the sumo puller (his spinal erectors are the size of peanuts)

its not even about range of motion entirely, deadlift is fundamentally a hip hinge movement, but by going sumo, you can basically get into a stance where your torso is vertical before the lift even starts which turns it into something like a reverse squat. if you want to do sumo deadlift because it focuses glutes more than traditional, fine, and if people want to compete to see who can lift the heaviest sumo, go ahead, but to act like sumo and traditional are the same lift is ridiculous and clearly not true. There's a reason we care so much about the big 3, and its because they all are lifts that work fundamentally different parts of our body in order to build balanced overall strength, if you swap deadlift out for sumo, then your effectively removing one third of the equation. This is why sumo isn't as respected as traditional deadlift, and never will be.

no

It’s a thing because Eddie threw a tantrum about Thors lift and all his fanboys take what Eddie said as gospel fact so will keep spewing out his nonsense Eddie didn’t like it because Thor made it look easy so all of his dramatics about nearly dying and the affect it had on his body now look OTT and he lost the ego boost of been the only person to successfully deadlift 500kg

@@richardthomas3697 idiot

EDDIE done his 500KG IN "COMPETITION" what part of that do you not understand. Thor done his 501KG at home. Even if we give thor the record, it's still not THE OFFICIAL WR because it was not done in competition. Eddies 500KG will always be considered the WR because of this undeniable fact, not counting that it was also HISTORY in the making and put Eddie at Legend status for all time. Eddies will always be considered the greatest feat of strength and the crowd on that day made it electric. That 500KG deadlift will always go down in history as the "GREATEST DEADLIFT" ever witnessed for all time. Nuff said, case closed, i'm correct, your wrong, get over it.

@@g-9222 That's not what makes it official. What makes the 501 kilos official is that the weights were verified and that there was a judge on site. 501kg is the official record. That it wasn't in a competition doesn't make it any less official.

U can't as he did it sumo

@@petershortland478 100% counts as you can pull sumo in comps ya goofball

@@bio7377 The sumo is a completely different movement than the conventional. Just because the IPF allows it, it doesn't make it the same as a legit exact same movement. Otherwise, why shouldn't rack deadlifts count? After all, all elephant bar, Hammer tire, deadlidft bar and powerlifting bars were completed with a conventional stance.

@@petershortland478 not strongman you dumbasss

@@emiliospowerballer1441 I think you have a different definitions for the word "completely different". If wanks like you start arguing about every single detail, there would be no need for federations, official juries and records. For your information, none of the lifts are 100% true conventional. Strongmen were wearing suits, wraps and belts. That shit adds minimum of 50 - 75kg to your deadlift. Sumo with stiff bar > conventional with wraps, and suit 100% of the time.

He was impressive, but I watched this and thought it's a real shame Hafthor retired. He's lost over 100kg bodyweight since that lift. I'm sure he's much healthier now, but DAMN, the dude looked like a frickin' monster.

Not really, shorter men are potentially better at the DL because of the shorter range of motion, and eddie has really long arms for someone of his height so he's even better designed for the DL

@@kritinha4695 if there is some genetic god who is born, trains his whole life he might be able to lift 550 or 600 if im insanely optimistic. but common, eddie didn't lift 500 with physical training alone, I think the human body is getting close to its max. 1 ton would prob straight up shatter your bones if you even had the strenght to lift it.

Once steroid science improves we will get there 😎

China will produce designer babies with 500 iq and the strength of a gorilla and they will also be black below the waist destroying the asian stereotype forever

Personally, I think that depends on stance width. If you look at Danny's pulls he's so wide he's practically doing the splits and standing upright off the floor. In contrast, Jamal has more of a narrow pull and is bent forward further. He also can pull well over 900lbs conventional. I think Jamal's lifts are legitimately impressive, but other like Danny are practically just joint lockout movements with less true strength involved.

@@VitoDRF Danny also uses the super bendy bar

@@hereisdamm mobility constraints in sumo make it not feasible for many people :v other than that it's just physics: less displacement -> less work

@@pawe2244 so you are saying sumo is harder for some people? Also, your knowledge of physics is too basic. You are misapplying the work formula and you are not considering leverages... remember that muscles do the pulling, you are not a spring pulling the bar straight up but a complex system pulling through several levers. Sumo is not easier in absolute terms, it depends on the anthropometrics of the lifter. Sometimes its the harder lift, that's why so many lifters can do maximal lifts with conventional, especially the super heavy. If sumo was truly easier in the absolute sense, competitive lifters doing conventional would be moronic.

@@hereisdamm its as simple as this Damian. Lift the same amount of weight with both styles, then come back here and tell me which one was easier.

@@wiebegraham Definitely not. Despite training for sumo since I've started lifting, during maxing out day, managed to PR higher by switching to conventional. I can rep 4 plates with conventional; with sumo, I'm gassing by the end with one rep. Physics, wise, for the same weight, sumo requires much more force to lift off than conventional at the cost of less distance to travel; to be exact, ignoring biomechanic, given that lifting sumo requires a force F, sumo requires F / sin(θ) with θ being the interior angle of the leg to the ground. Observe that since sin(θ)
