So basically Eddie's noob gains lasted until a 420kg deadlift🤣🤣🤣

Must be nice too be so genetically blessed that you dont need to learn how to program until you 420kg on deadlift 😂

"im stuck at 925 pounds" is a crazy statement

Someone saying “I was stuck at 420 KG” is so unfathomably crazy for a human being I can’t even believe this is real

"And ripping my hair out..." Well, that explains the Mohawk...he can't reach the top of his head.... Eddie is a class act. Love watching him and Brian Shaw interact.

So basically, this guy reached a 420kg deadlift while using a training method than made his progress "go backwards"

my favourite part was when he explained what the elements were

Dude didn’t even know about CNS fatigue or deloading and still almost cracked 1000 pounds.

"I was stuck on 420kg", wish I had that problem

Cool, so max every week until I hit 420kg, then break into 2 elements and just make up what those are. Cool video, real useful.

Took me so long to realize this! Hit a 600 lb Pull after Months not pulling. Now I go for 90% or above every other Tuesday. Happy Pulling Gents

probably he was just dehydrated. should have drunk more cranberry juice.

"Why are you depressed man?" "Oh, I only deadlift 420 kilos."

So he's "stuck" on double the number we dream of lol

This happened for me on bench at 225. Starting a program and breaking through that 2 year plateau was one of the best feelings ever. Went from 225->260 in four months

I loved the bit where he explained the 2 elements

Mike Mentzer's advice! The heavier you go, the less frequently you can train because the more rest your body requires 💯🙏

Eddie has such great deadlift technique. Watch how his knees dont lock out until right before his back does. You see lots of lifters straighten their knees too early and pull with their backs the rest of the way

That 420kg in 2016 will forever be the most iconic 420kg deadlift

I like how the principles of recovery that Mike Mentzer was espousing 25 years ago are finally becoming more mainstream. Now with Elliot Hulse endorsing high intensity training.

See Mike mentzor was ahead of his time in a lot of ways

Mike mentzer says the more weights you can push,more rest you need. I've also heard you can get 300% stronger,but can only increase recovery rate by 50%. So it makes sense that a stronger man would need more and more rest since he does more and more work.

Ego lifting to 420 is fucking mind blowing

Only Rich Piana can recover from a 420kg deadlift in 8 hours

Andy Bolton was an underrated qb

This guy is a Ledgend!

Ever since I started lifting, I went hard. I first started going to the gym with my older sister(who could drive) during summer break between 6th and 7th grade, and eventually convinced my best friend to join also. We rode our bikes to the gym and stayed for 2-3 hours literally every day, high weight low reps all the time. And around 9th grade, I (and soon my best friend) hit a wall, where no matter what we did we weren't increasing in strength on...well, almost everything it felt like. Since I first started lifting(this would have been like mid-late 90s) I'd heard about how important rest was, and would often overhear the conversations of the older guys who would debate this stuff. But I always figured, I don't hit each muscle every day, so each muscle/muscle group is getting at least a day or two of rest. Though actually there was a long period where we did bench/chest/tri's first thing, every single day, and that was the hardest/longest wall I'd ever hit(again, around the start of 9th grade), or at least the most frustrating one, given how much time we spent in the gym, how hard we went, the fact that despite being a relatively small(well, average I guess) sized guy(I'm 5'10 or 11" now for reference, was probably only about 160 in 9th grade), I was assigned to play linebacker, and I desperately wanted to get as big and strong as I possibly could, as it's not fun having to take on blocking linemen, fullbacks, 200+in running backs with agility of a...I dunno, a kangaroo?) Anyway, I was stuck at 245lbs for bench, and couldn't lift more than that for what felt like a year(barring the usual random good days, or when I was hyped up, etc.) And the worst part was watching these other guys from school, or other football players in the weight room who hadn't lifted before, making huge gains in strength. Eventually my friend and I agreed to rest each muscle group for at least 3-4 days, and to only bench about twice a week. And wouldn't you know it, we started lifting more. Not huge increases, as we weren't on gear or anything, and could barely afford protein and weight gain shakes(gaining weight was particularly difficult for me), but enough to make it feel like all of the time and dedication was worth it.

I'm constantly afraid of tearing something every time I consider adding weight to most lifts - then when I finally take the plunge and give it a go, I manage to achieve it without anything rupturing.

1. They’re fast twitch whether you’re lifting heavy or light, slow twitch are endurance fibers. 2. This is just a westside/conjugate/concurrent template where he’s doing dynamic effort one week and repeated effort the following week.

It is the CNS which cannot fire all the motor units at max lifts weekly. This is why you need a rest week every 3 weeks.

Very insightful advice from a legend, it reminds me of Mike Mentzer who emphasized on the importance of recovery.

This applies to distance running / racing too

Just love how the video cuts off before it tells you

This actually is very informative to know, and funny stucking at 420kg deadlift 😂😂😂

AMEN!!!!! Maxing out every single day is the dumbest way to get stronger

Rest and recovery.

I know now. The best way is to max out every 11 days then

I loved the part where he explained how to increase your deadlift

I think the two elements are fire and earth

On a Friday I failed at Competition 625. I was 160. That Monday got it. Also was in high-school at time. 2006

Mike mentzer has entered the chat

What two elements?

yes! recovery! mike mentzer!

That's why top ipf powerlifters don't max out in the gym generally, train sub maximally but with higher frequency so they can get more work in, enabling them to deadlift more than once a week

I'm stuck on 501kg for 2 years fuck sake I can't pass it

The speed the 400kg and 465kg moved at is Scary… the man is so explosive.

Thank for the advice and thank for the information and I enjoy your videos.

Mike Mentzer.

Tag me in part 2

eddie is a miracle. nobody but him can just stumble upon a 420kg deadlift

"i was stuck at 420kg, why aren't i getting stronger?" 💀

420 🎉 thats a clear sign 🥦

So what you're saying is Mike Mentzer has always been correct. Hmmm.... They're finally getting it.

I wish i new this in high school

Linear progression programming worked for Eddy Hall all the way till a 925lbs deadlift.

So thats why the sides of his head are bald!

Mike Mentzer was RIGHT. 95% of you are overtraining.

He gets that 420 off the ground faster than I'm getting my fat ass off the bed, god dammit.

Thanks for the advise. I need that.

Thx for the advice bro

Part 2: ru-vid.com3AdkisyZtO8?feature=share

"I was coming every week" can relate

Just for anyone wondering, the 2 elements were Fire and Water.

This is so extreme in both directions 😂 I’ve not been able to PR every week since I was a complete noob, but I also don’t think I’ll ever be stuck for 2 years either

this is so true....im much older than eddie but i realized this long time ago....and now I can take 3 weeks off and come back be as strong or stronger than i was before the break ....as long as im eating well

Mike Mentzer was always right. LEGEND.

Eddie's body: Did you break it down? Eddie: Oh shit my bad 🕺💃

The feeling in your legs The day after a true max deadlift is crazy. There's hardly any walking involved, much less lifting.

I like how he called Brian one of the greatest deadlifters and was actually serious about it

The best way to progress is to slowly progress.

Eddie is pure knowledge

Mentzer said those things

Very useful information

"The best way to get around that is to break it down" aight bet 🕺🕺🕺

Great advice.

As someone who is stuck in 420, I see this as an absolute win

Mike Mentzer enters the room

Thanks man...I'm 63kg😊 Australian upside down and proud 🇦🇺🙃♥️

thanks for the advice

Mike Mentzer was right about recovery 💪

Always learn from your peers. Great lessen for eddie that time

That weight’s insane

Great insights

This is a really great Point. Listening to Tom Platz talk about his leg training and how his super aggressive sessions he would do once every two weeks. Best legs in a business! Speaks volumes about the training philosophy.

1 element - only deadlift up, the second element - deadlift down

Thank you for sharing

Hope to hear from you soon, Mike.

He must have done so much research for this small info and it changed everything

Discovered the law of accommodation

Bruh. Great advice. Will implement.

The rest of the video he explains that he alternates between training his fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibres. So that fast could recover when training slow and vise versa I have been doing this for a few months now and gained some decent muscle would reccomend

Eddie will all ways be the man to lift the record

Literally thinking about the recovery period. Been listening to Mike Mentzer...

Bane been bulking

Bro your the best deadlifter .such rite on form.

Love the respect he has for Brian Shaw. They really are good buddies.

Mike Mentzer is smiling down on him right now

Knowledge is key,,,,💯👍

Relevant information.
