Hello friends, the bar has to be lifted with the arm completely extended (elbow locked out). Also, it has to be lifted to the level of a shoulder. I know it helps the ego to comment how weak someone is, but before commenting I recommend you to do it, upload a video of doing it and then comment. Hugs, brother !
if you can do a set of 150 crunches you can do this.. it's not the arm muscles.. it's the shoulder and core.. only 45lbs right?? i used to do this exercise in my routine.. actually i lifted 35lb dumbells vertically with my arm extended.. very hard...my body would shake because im squeezing my core
It helps the ego.. you're the one doing a challenge bro. all the ego is in the video. ain't nobody in the comments have ego commenting lmfao. actions over words
Average healthy male grip strength is 72.6lb or 33kg. Bar is 45lb/20kg. If bar isn't slipping, then static friction is active, and grip strength = capacity to lift bar. Assume some loss due to grip orientation. 1. Squat down. 2. Get snug with the bar, place your hand where you'd like to hold it out at shoulder level-- probably above your head. 3. Push upwards like you're doing a squat, and use the angle of your arm to set the load on the bar on your skeleton as much as possible. 4. Slowly, so as to avoid letting the bar gain momentum and to facilitate high-tension eccentric contraction without slippage by muscle fibers, lower the bar to shoulder height, and then hold it there. With this approach, I think those who were close to doing it in this video could have managed.
Did you read the first comment from the poster? You have to do it from a standing position with the arm fully extended, gripping the bar at shoulder height. No bending at the waste at all. It is difficult to lift that weight without moving. You are basically only using your lats, delts and traps. We use those muscles in almost every movemtnet we make with our upper body, but we dont often use only those muscles. We use a lot of musles when working out back muscles. Think of a pull-up. It is awkward for our trained muscles. But why try? It doesn't really prove anything and when you pull your delt or trap you'll wish you hadn't tried. It makes every movement paingul. Even breathing hurts. It is not a normal workout and you risk a lot more than your ego gains.
@@TheRealLikeButtonProposed method does in fact meet the poster's rules; arm is always fully extended, and the bar will be lifted to the aforementioned position. However, as you suggested, I agree that the risk of pulling a deltoid and/or a trapezius performing the proposed method is real. I also agree that this maneuver isn't worth the accolade.
This workout is the front dumbbell raise. There is no trick to it. I only do 20lbs for this and that bar is 45lbs. Takes a lot of shoulder strength to achieve
Yeah i feel you! I can do this challenge... but at the same time, i only do front dumbbells with 20s too. It's using similar muscles, but there are differences in the form used. One example is the starting position of your arm in this exercise, versus holding a dumbbell at rest on your side 🤔
I have a 25-26lbs I use for this. I do it because of martial arts training. Holding a fully extended weighted punch then doing shoulder rotations and other slight movements.
@@flippingdrummer exactly! So I'd say for this strength challenge, the "trick" is to find a balance between gripping the highest part of the bar + trying to start at the lowest possible point in the range of motion for a front raise dumbbell. I say "trick" because even with this strategy, it doesn't make it, by any means, easy - you still have to put A LOT of strength into it 😬
I thought about that when I saw that one guy actually lift it. He grabbed lower than the others and he kept his arm straight. I don't have that kind of strength but I recognize that planche strength would give you the win.
Si podria hacerlo ya que en mi trabajo hago algo parecido y ejerso mucha fuerza con mis brazos a diario parece poco pero esa fuerza esta en el agarre que tengas
Get a 45 year old guy wth 2 kids a beer gut and 10 years of little league coaching experience under his belt out there. He'll lift that thing like a toothpick
I do them 3 days a week with 45s 3 sets of 15... but it took me 6 months to build up to that. I'm currently training a friend of mine to grow shoulders like I did. Showing real results. For me it's about strength, he's more of an aesthetic guy.
It's the men that work those skilled labor jobs that have that quiet strength. You don't know it is there until you see them do something like this. My husband (may he RIP) was one of those.
RIP, and you're right. Railroader here and I just did this at my home gym and wondered why people were have trouble. I was like how long do I have to hold it?
I worked with 80kg fire rated doors, I'd always get the new guys to lift them first, they would struggle and wouldn't get far before putting it down, then I'd pick it up no problem and take it out into the store room, the trick is to slightly squat, pick it up below the centre point, lean it into the shoulder.
Yeah but the rules of this is you have to lift it straight up without leaning it with your arms extended your story ain’t got nothing to do with whats going on here. You just tryna show off.
A well. At 12 I did push ups with my sister of 13 and weighing about 48kg on my back for a total of 8, after a year of doing routine workouts every day. Nowadays Id be happy to push my own 75kg up off from the floor.
When your arm is fully extended and straightened, all your strength disappears. Edit: I am aware that other muscles take over. I'm saying you need to train to do stuff like this. Average people don't have the strength for this. Edit 2: it was a hyperbole but you're all taking it seriously LMAO
Depending on the weight of the bar, I can probably raise it a couple of inches off the floor, though for how long I can't say Punching forward helps. It's a technique taught in martial arts for projecting energy. Using your core muscles' tension to do most of the lifting and making a motion as if to punch forward and up in a diagonal direction. It's hard to explain unless you've experienced training it. It's how I end up cheating(even when I know I shouldn't) at lateral front dumbbell raises when I start to fatigue during the last few reps.
I ran a 90lb jackhammer for three months, doing an industrial slab demo, when I was 18. By the end of the job, I could hold the handles level to my chest, with my arms locked, for over 10 seconds. Now, I’d be lucky, to be able to pull one out of a hole.
All hight intensity labour jobs were paid for usage that has a dwindling lifespan especially when power tooling with arthritis and all that from the vibrations
When I was 18 years old, i worked as batching plant operator (manual) and can lift a bag of cement with 1 hand and place in a mixer. Now, cant even lift it from the ground.
Is technique more than strenght, also he is the tallest there, and also this happen when ppl make muscle consuming protein and other things, easy work = poor results
Everyone was lifting with their arm strength but the last guy locked his arm tight to his body and leaned back. That’s how he was able to do it. For everyone disputing if I’m correct or not, please watch the 3rd guys attempt. He’s the only one who moved the bar and he was trying to do the same technique as the last guy. Only difference was he torqued his body too much outward from his arm and maxed out his flexibility. The last guy kept his arm in-line with his body allowing him to use his full range of movement.
@@gustavpropovski9932 he shrugs an rocks to his toes at the start of the movement. Part of what makes it hard is how much you have to compensate for the weight being in front of your center gravity. If you lean back at the waist which he did, (not a lot by any means, but enough to be obvious) you're making it easier to achieve a parallel between your arm and the ground. You can have your back engaged for a front raise, but you shouldn't have it activating or moving around. He clearly uses a little momentum from pushing off the ground, shrugs his shoulders slightly and he leans back slightly. None of that is part of a good front raise.
@@bran7801the risk of injury from improper use or too high of an intensity is certainly bad, but training properly would build strength and reduce risk of injury
It would be really cool if someone came in and decided to chop the video up and talk about muscle groups that they’re hitting and why it’s so much harder than lifting a dumbbell
I had shoulder surgery last year and part of my therapy 3 times a week is front raises. I do 3 sets of 5 at 25 pounds. It’s a difficult exercise to do😢
If its a 45lb bar, maybe. I have a pullup bar in my bedroom door, and do 10 every time I enter or leave so I have really strong shoulders and back. I tried this with my parents' dumbells a while back and cant remember if I got to 35 or 45.
His hand position is actually lower, which allows him to raise it. He stopps when his hand gets perpendicular to his body and that’s where every other contestant started. It is much harder when you try to raise it from 90 degrees.
I used to do sets of 12 barbell front raises at 95lbs, so I definitely used to be able to do this. Now, I'd probably tear something in my shoulder trying.
@Brendon I did that when I was 170lbs BEFORE I started powerlifting. Bruce Lee could apparently do his own bodyweight so I wanted to do my own... but at 170lbs I was able to do his bodyweight. If you think this is hard, you've never trained for a year lol
@@DGRIFF no, i havent trained for a year, ive trained all my life. At 150 pounds, high conditioning level, i was able to do 50 pound dumbell lateral raises at MOST. Even the most extreme power lifters can only do 100 pound dumbell lateral raises. They weigh close to 300 or more pounds. Dont bullshit, youre not impressing anyone. Only person youre tricking is yourself. If you could do 90 pound dumbbell lateral raises, why dont you go try out for Guinness world record, you belong there. At 170 pounds, no one has even come close to that feat EVER
@@DGRIFF oh and, neuromuscular physiologists pretty much unanimously the feat of holding the 75 pound barbell in front of him as false. It isnt physiological possible.
That's like holding a 45lb dumbbell out. I've done tree work for over 7 years so I can but this isn't something just any man off the social is going to do 😂
Anyone who has had wrecked shoulders down to bone-on-bone can tell you how debilitating and painful it is. I always think back to how bad it was for slaves and the poor centuries ago when their joints were destroyed. Now, depending on your situation, with a good surgeon one can get an excellent replacement.
@@Darkshine369 tried it. Couldn't do it. I broke the floor but probably just an inch. For reference my strict overhead press max is 170 and my bench max is 275. I was able to do a 45lbs single arm dumbbell front raise. I guess it's a leverage and weight distribution thing. Where it's fixed to the floor from the very start of the lift you also can't get any momentum so it's harder to cheat this barbell variation. With dumbbells you can swing it back ever so slightly and drive it through to start with a touch of momentum.
Everything comes from the ground up. Look at how the last guy's feet are spaced wide apart and gives him a very stable base...that's already giving him so much more leverage than most of these guys. Also noticed that his shoulder is kept much closer to his body than most of the other guys...the closet a weight is to your body, the easier it is to lift. So even 1-2 inches closer to your body could be the difference between failing & succeeding. Physics and biomechanics have so much to do with movements like this and with difference between failure & success being razor thin, every little detail matters.
@@benjamin8329 Hmm, biomechanically, that doesn't really make sense 'cause taller people have a much high center of gravity . I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that a lower center of gravity would make it easier to lift.
@@Boris_Blade_Britva Хороший вопрос. Обычный гриф 8 с копейками килограмм весит. Это 1.8 метра Может у их какой-то необычный... Слишком длинный вроде. Может килограмм 15?
