How Heavy Humans Can Theoretically Lift 

the squat world record is not held by tom Platz he could only squat around 700 pounds not a thousand

@@forgottencardboardbox2503 Yeah, the world record squat is held by Ray Williams

The issue of that assessment is that ppl who regularly lift maximally incidentally train their voluntary max to be closer and closer to their involuntary max. A high level weightlifter like him would actually be using around 90% of his involuntary max.

And at what cost to the tendons, before a catastrophic structural failure as a result of torn tendons, simply because we overridden our safety limiter? Free weights aren't variable resistance, yet only the latter allows us to safely lift heavier for our tendons and muscles near the full range of motion. As for the news paper reports on hysterical strength, how much of the entire weight of the vehicle in question is consistently present during the full range of motion? I mean for anyone who've flipped heavy tires during bootcamps, did the weight of that tire stayed consistently throughout the entire motion, or did it shifted in relation to its center of gravity relative to its pivot?

Lasha Talakhadze lifted 267 kilos in 2021 and 270 kg in training

Yeh, maybe (as there's no source) he meant bench or squat

shut up. majority do not work out at all, nothing

I'm not surprised. Most of the population is sedentary - which is why obesity and diabetes is such a problem.

Well it's very nuanced that 70kg figure is for a untrained man weighing 200lbs who never lifted before ever in his life

I agree. If a 70 kg man can do a single pull-up, which is not difficult, then he can easily deadlift that weight.

It would be equivalent to maybe a 450 lb. deadlift. Not huge but still very impressive for anyone without lifting experience. I'd bet she tore a few tendons, ligaments and some muscle tissue from that experience.

yh its a bit disingenuous and/or shows a lack of understanding of physics and/or journalistic integrity

I was just about to comment the same thing

It always annoys me when people say they “lifted 3,000 pounds”, complete nonsense. In strongmen competitions they lift up cars for reps, it’s easy when lifting from an edge.

@@caedmonswanson2378 I dont know about easy but yh he needs to be clear

this would weight more than 500lbs on a 3000+lbs car lol, closer to 1000-1200lbs if she lifted both wheels at the back! which is highly unlikely....

​@@NikoCv-car_lift_strongmankiddo you don't know anything every part of the car is not equally divideed..

@@Andrewtate200 yea I know nothing about lifting a car or how much that weight.

@@NikoCv-car_lift_strongman bruh the front of the car is much more heavy than the rear, assuming that the engine is mounted in the front ofc, engine can weight anywhere from 100-300 KG, also the gearbox is usually mounted right behind the engine, thats another 50-150 KG.

I was going to say the same thing lol

Power of a mother

and there's also the suspension helping the lift, still impressive

@@theguycalledturbo Yeah, it's a given that she didn't lift one side of the car to the point in which both wheels (on that side of the car) were completely off the ground but instead just transferred a couple hundred pounds from the suspension over to herself, which would have had the effect of raising that side of the car by an inch or so and thus freeing her son and allowing him to slide out.

There is a strong men who « lift » an ambulance(3T) but hé only lift 1 side so thé mother is probably not that much and they Did not talk about the floor (that’s an import factor) Bcs lift an car in this floor :/ is easier that this one:_

You could bounce it up as well, using suspension and momentum. Also as the weight pivots over the opposite wheels, the weight on the lifter reduces.

yeah, that's what I was thinking

yeah this video is all over the place

true

500-600lb range

@@MRmOnThER322 I think in the famous Hatfield/Platz squat off, he did a one rep max of 765 and then repped 525 for 23 reps.

I mean, basically all instances of hysterical strength end up with the savior being in the hospital: in one instance a boy save his brother by lifting a car, in the process he snapped both his forearms, ripped his biceps and crushed 3 teeth. In another a mother who fought a bear to save her daughter ended up with both her arms broken and she was fighting with on a leg that the bear had broken. Etc,etc, etc. Hysterical strength is not something meant to be used constantly, is a last ditch effort to survive, is the body deciding that it's possible to survive if it destroys itself.

Ah no. Humans are legitimately capable of lifting way more. Our brains just limit us. And under circumstances that would have caused damage we survive. That means there's way more to this than just "her bones would snap". Think deeper.

Even if she lifted a quarter of that weight, it’s still pretty damn impressive

@@robcubed9557 but humans have legitimately lifted way more weight. 2500 lb helicopter side.

A third is still more than 1000 lbs lol. That's a freaky feat of strength in general, let alone an out of shape woman approaching her 50s/60s without exercise

Eddie also held it for a lot longer

Both feats were incredible, but being that Eddie was 6" shorter than Thor and with a significantly smaller frame (albeit a world level strength body frame), Eddies 500 lift was waaaaaay more impressive in terms of a pound-for-pound demonstrations of strength.

​@@briangoslin1973What? Eddie and Thor were both around the same weight at the time of their deadlift records. Also it's harder if you are taller your comment makes no sense at all 😂😂

i was so confused when i heard him say that

Toms heaviest recorded squat was 525lbs, but I think he once said that he managed to rep 600

That 1014 record was Fred Hatfield. Dr squat was the first to hit over 1000 in a meet back in the 80's. Tom and Fred were friends and they even did a couple demo lifts together. I would presume that could be the mix up.

Yeah i dont know why he said that

Tom stoltmans never pulled 500kg either :/

He said that the scenario the psychologist created in his mind for the lift was WAY DARKER than that and it was just an example

@@manan5929 he said it was him pulling someone off his wife and kids

did he not inject straight adrenaline or?

@@wyattplenert it was a drug free competition, but he tried to get as much adrenaline naturally as possible

@@wrxvv I think you didnt watch the full one ,he later says that it was way disturbing than lifting a car off his kids

Yeah that was what I was thinking!

Plus you don't lift the entire car, more likely two wheels were supporting a lot of the weight

@@Skyrim279 yep

and she looked quite well built too, not the average female

This is true, but even taking that into account and she only had to lift one corner of the lightest part of the car - that's still looking like 400-600lbs, a feat *still* unbelievable by "normal" standards of strength much less by a housewife

ANYONE WHO CAN DEADLIFT 700LBS can lift the back end of a car no larger than mid-size and smaller. Now thats very strong, and that mom obviously couldn't do that, making her feat still astonishing.

It's actually closer to a quarter. It's the heaviest at the bottom and gets easier as it pivots upward. If I'm not mistaken, the center of gravity in an Impala may be closer to the front axle.

@@rookieman329 same thing as thor

From images in google his technique is sumo right?

@@veiledhunter3088 at most I would say it's wide conventional, he's a very tall person so his relative stance width isn't that wide proportionally and his hands are still on the outsides of his legs while with sumo you would be widening the legs far enough to be able to pull with the arms inside them.

@@veiledhunter3088 Danny Grigsby is a sumo puller yes. Thor and Eddie are conventional as per strongman rules.

You made me think of Scot Mendelson, he was talking about benching over 1000lbs in the equipped category and saying. A little over 1000lbs is when I would start to feel my forearms bones bend a little once under the full weight. Also the current equipped bench record is currently at 1,320lbs (598.7kg). Also at the 2017 arnold strongman classic there was a 1500+ lbs yoke, which would put quite a bit more impact weight then 2 metric tons per step.

@@wildwilie that depends on your sturdiness, gravity, mass, precision, and technique.

@@seijin4426 Brian Shaw + 1500lb yoke is 100% very much over 2000lbs with each step he's taking.

Forgetting that people who train more have denser bones and people who are larger have the force spread out over a larger cross section. Also the ultimate strength is based on the weakest link of any specific lift. Usually this is around a joint, which is why ligament, tendon and dislocations are much more common than broken bones in powerlifting/weightlifting. The exceptions to this are when significant load is applied to a locked joint, or twisting force is applied that does not exceed the load of the muscles but does of the bone (see Magnus Samuelsson vs Nathan Jones)

@@sammorrissey9094 You do realize men and women have different bone structure. In the skull, hips and pelvis. So when you say people am sure you meant men. As people include women and children . That do not have the most abatable bone structure to do such things.

​@@stewpleee Naw, you're thinking of King Quad

​@@stewpleeePaul demayo was quadzilla I believe

Never heard that he passed out but he did say in an interview that he showed signs of a concussion for a few weeks after his world record deadlift

No you are definitely right. Watched a video from Eddie Hall where he also spoke about this incident. He said he lost sight for a short moment and everything went black, also his mind went blank so I would count this as a blackout. The nosebleed is also correct, he also bleeded a little bit out of one eye if I remember correctly, not 100% sure on the eye bleeding though.

@@sinistressdreams7243 i think i remember the eye bleeding being mentioned.

There's not much to talk about veins and arteries. Everyone has them. You want any better you have to hope for good genetics and have a healthy lifestyle. Blood pressure is more of side effect. It's the muscles and bones taken the workload. The heavier the workload the more blood flow is required to move the muscles. Eddie Hall had a nose bleed because he was holding his breath while taking a tremendous strain on his body.

@@fullercrane1795 No he had nose bleed cuz of enormous BP, you dont hold your breath while maxing out, you exhale in the cosentric face to embrace your core.

A few misleading things here. First of all, Thor *didn't* have the advantage of choosing his peak. He was actually scheduled to do the lift in a competition. But, when Covid struck and the competition was cancelled, he *had* to do it in a gym instead *because* he had reached his peak at that time and couldn't wait around. So in regards to prep, Thor and Eddie were on equal ground. Both were scheduled to do the lift on a certain date, and both stuck to that. Second, Eddie might have technically been present at a competition during his 500kg lift, but he didn't truly partake as a competitor because he didn't follow any competition rules. He only did the deadlift event, no others. He also got to dictate the weight jumps during the deadlifts *at the expense of other competitors* for his own comfort. Brian Shaw had to drop out early because of this, as Eddie decided in the middle of the comp to increase the weight more quickly than initially planned for his own comfort. And on top of this, he also got to choose his own rest times and decide when he lifted on the day. Plus, he also used some of his own gear, and is on record saying he used his own bar. So Eddie used his own equipment, chose his own weight jumps, chose his own rest times, and chose not to compete in anything but the deadlift that day, some of which had a negative effect on the other strongmen competing - *none* of that follows competition standards in any way, shape, or form. The whole event was catered around him to help him achieve his lift. Then, when you look at the fact that Thor *did* have predetermined weights jumps and predetermined rest times that he rigidly stuck to for his lift, as though he were in a competition, it's actually very clear that Thor followed competition standards much more closely than Eddie did. And just to clarify, I'm not trying to discredit Eddie's lift. Both lifts were performed in front of a qualified judge with calibrated weights, so both are clearly legitimate and recognised records. But Eddie's lift was not more impressive, as Thor actually followed stricter standards. I just find it funny that Eddie is so determined to hypocritically undermine Thor's lift for not being *in competition* when Thor actually followed competition standards far more closely than Eddie himself did.

@@lbds954 Facts are facts, Thor did it out of competition, his lift still counts, but it wasn't in a competition, and it wasn't a round number, which makes it less impressive for me personally, you of course are free to disagree. And for the other stuff that you mentioned, that honestly feels like slandering, I bet if Eddie did anything to the detriment of other lifters or even simply bent the rules to his advantage, Thor would object as he was present in that competition. So this "stricter standards" line of argument sounds dubious to me.

@@Tork789 I mean yes, you can very much make an argument that Eddie's lift was more impressive due to the huge jump in weight compared to a 1kg jump. I'm not arguing that at all. I'm just pointing out the objective fact that Thor actually followed a far stricter regiment on the day of the lift, which is in response to you saying Thor had more advantages - which he objectively didn't for the reasons I outlined. It's also not "slander" at all as it's all unarguably true. You can research it for yourself. Brian Shaw himself has said that he had to drop out of the competition earlier than he planned to because Eddie chose to up the weights more quickly than scheduled. That, paired with Eddie getting to choose his own rest times and use his own equipment (which he has admitted to on camera during an interview) show that Eddie was very heavily catered to in order to help him achieve the lift. And I'm also not saying that any of this means Eddie's lift shouldn't count. It absolutely should, as Eddie performed the lift with calibrated weights in front of a qualified judge. Just like Thor's lift should also count for the same reasons. My point is that, while *both* Thor and Eddie met the necessary requirements for the lift to count, Thor actually went a step beyond and followed far stricter standards than Eddie did. He did this deliberately due to the circumstances with Covid, as he wanted to make sure there would be no question whatsoever that he achieved the lift legitimately. And Eddie claiming it needs to be done "in competition" retroactively is hypocritical, as he didn't follow "competition" standards during his own lift. All of this is easily researchable if you don't believe me, and you can look everything I've said up for yourself. My stance is this: both lifts count as both lifts met the necessary requirements. But if Eddie wants to start changing those requirements and claiming a lift needs to follow competition standards to be official, his own lift wouldn't count either. He only took that stance because of his rivalry with Thor, but it makes absolutely no sense as he himself didn't follow competition rules. Again, both lifts count - it's just that Eddie's reasoning for saying his own lift should count whereas Thor's shouldn't is hypocritical and makes no sense.

​@@lbds954you cannot lift in your home gym with you dad weighing the plates and claim it's a world record. Sorry.

isn't programming for the competition literally peaking as you said Thor did? lol

You mean knee WRAPS and they are not raw, they will put at least 10-15kg on your squat. Neoprene knee SLEEVES are closer to raw, but even they help a little. The coolest thing about Vlad is how he rehabbed after a total knee replacement and went on to squat more than before the surgery, showing all of us in line for a TKR what is still possible.

@@PinataOblongata 10-15? u mean 50-60 depending on ur max? wraps help extremly for squatting.

@@1988antenne I could be a little under (I don't compete with wraps, but I help out with feds that do) and I doubt it's that much. Google says 25-40kg. I'm a lighter lifter in the 69kg class, natty, stiff bar and sleeves only (like IPF) so I'm used to dealing with smaller numbers ;)

​@@1988antenne50-60 if you squat in the 400s maybe. For the average person it will be around 20kg

@@alexschutz7283 Well the 1 rep max calculator is completely inaccurate, especially at high reps.

Excellent points. Also? The sheer frame size of a gorilla provides it with a major leverage advantage.

Strength is determined by how much force can be sustained in the whole body. Depends highly on genetics, which stem from a long generational chain of your ancestors constantly pushing their limits with their bodies in the prime ages of 10 - 60 years old.

@@A1_Amir If you were born when your parents were 30, how could anything they do after that effect your genes? Isn't evolution shaped mostly by reproductive advantage and surviving near extinction events?

Is it ? IDK how much different they really are. I don't even know anymore, but I think that is "kind of debunked". Gorillas and other just train mega hard, and they are happy doing it, this in turn makes their joint and bones huge and dense, and their strength reflects that, lb for lb. We train very little, and use as little strength as possible. We still share mostly the same mechanisms for regulation and growth as they do, but we stimulate those less, due to having more nuanced behaviour. I know chimps did some pulls on a pulley, a female did some 800-900 lb janks, but a human could do it too. The balance of where does mental stimulation begin and end, and what is needed, needs cutting into, to understand what really is different between us. They train every day, and they like it, mostly because of their "somwehat" hardwired physiological differences, but the biggest of the bone differences is tied to brain, its size, and being effective while standing. A human with a simpler brain could, perhaps, very well approach the conditioning of a more wild, natural ape. While I do believe we have some shaping as per this topic, we are largely the same, if not almost the same. I thibk the difference is, by far, mostly neurological, and of training history. No athlete will ever put as much effort nonchalantly as a wild ape, as they are subconsciously bound to the rate and timing of the society around them, and how the individual reacts and influences the others, every sport is finding "the human way", and politics, and a mental endeavour alltogether. The active rest and ease of work a chimp can do isn't reached by athletes at large. You cannot push against the clock, steroids and hormones need counterbalance, and in the end, you inflate the rest, always sub-optimally, and nothing really changes, you just get old fast, and parts of you super fast, which damages long term progress, and then you lean into being "a freak" that can withstand superhuman muscle loading, despite being damaged from the inside. It's all in the stable and steady- nuance and simplicity. You are bound to eventually outperfom users( not saying it's all in stone, but hear me), you are more effective, and age slower, you are more sensitive to anabolism- only need a 1/20 the chemical stimulation for 80% the outcome-. When you use you throw nuance out of the window, you accept side-effects for diminishing returns per- time, invite ineveitable imbalance induced damage- health is strength. I am not saying that nautrals will be as jacked as users, but they can grow bigger and healthier, eventually ending up stronger, with a peak well beyond breaking age of most athletes, and then, being better. But that cannot be done with fake incentives and for fake external goals. Many of the strong people, and giant men around, are so due to having a more balanced in and out, and are still of a stronger foundation, and in places stronger full stop, than the best juiced athletes in all of modern history. Health is wealth, as is being of substance all around.

@@japanesecar1501 wow. What a reply. I enjoyed every word, but I think we are talking about different things. There's a peak fitness level determined by genes, and I'm sure most humans are less likely to get as close to it as apes living in nature, but then there's the mechanics of the individual. For instance, my brother in law has limbs proportioned differently than mine, with a shorter upper arm and thighs compared to forearm. You wouldn't notice unless you looked for it, but once you pay attention it's obvious. This changes the leverage, giving him about a 10% advantage on how much weight he can bench press assuming the muscles are exactly the same strength. However, in one lift I am performing more work as the bar travels a greater distance. So in a punch I will generate more energy. We can train equally hard, but there's always going to be that tradeoff where I will have more power if left to my own devices but it won't will lose on that strength check. I can run with a higher speed, but not match the acceleration.These imbalances are part of what makes comparing different athletes so intriguing. Now the difference between a human and ape are far more pronounced. From an engineering perspective, they're built much sturdier, but less energy efficient. Our relative flimsiness is the price we pay for being able to travel over 50 miles a day via bipedal movement. No amount of training will enable a gorilla to match that feat.

the start is the hardest point in a deadlift, he could pull up to 700 800 kg if it was just pulling

Actually? That was embellishment on Anderson's part. He lifted in the range of 4500 to 4,800 lbs, still an astonishing feat. The backlift, typically only involves moving the stack a few inches, but still. More recently, a Canadian did a backlift of a pair of subcompact cars.

You still have to be careful about it and work to build up your physique naturally.

Yes, I was just thinking that Eddie would be pissed off to not even get a mention in this video, when his lift is still the OFFICIAL deadlift record. Thor did it in his home gym during lockdown (even if it was refereed by Magnus Ver Magnusson and the plates were even individually weighed in front of him). In any case, Eddie will always be the first man to ever lift half a tonne.

@@hedgehog1965uk I count thors because there was literally no competitions for him due to covid. If he stayed at his weight and strength for an indefinite amount of time he could’ve easily died. Also it was sanctioned by WUS (Worlds Ultimate Strongman) so it should count

I was looking for this comment

What about when you where younger?

​@@fayiz_Fz he just said he's been lifting for 8 years. How would he know? Can u just think a little lol

@@kaykmartins7335 he just asked the guy about his strength when he was younger.

@@lean2260 Which he effectively can't know if he never lifted before that. It is safe to assume here that he's strongest he's been in those 8 years

@@kaykmartins7335 why are you getting annoyed liberal sissy

Misleading, yes, but not disregardable, she lifted it with almost no prior training. Just pure grit and adrenaline

Yeah the ground supported most of the weight. Still impressive though

@@Forty-Kit was apperantly on a car jack and had others hold it up from what I heard

Can cope all you want, but thor officially holds the record.

Thor holds the record, not Eddie.

Thor lifted heavier weight with the same equipment, competition or not he lifted more with a verified judge (Magnusson)

yes, thicker abd stronger tendons reduce the Golgi tendon organ reflex, which is one of the inhibitors your brain places on your muscles. This also explains “old man strength” as tendons develop 10x slower than muscles, so someone who’s older will naturally have better developed tendons and have a higher degree supression of the GTO reflex

Probably wound end up becoming WWE champion

Prolly be eating 24/7 by the amount of mass and how heavy it is (square cube law)

There is an elephant on steroids. His name is Eddie Hall.

If it needed that it would produce natural steroids. But it did not. If humans needed more strength to survive they would be bulkier. But in reality smaller, weaker but more social humans eleminated strong big neanderthals for example. Human can outrun horse on a long distance and eat it in the end. So evolutionary humans and more endurance inclined than raw strength. With big brain and social power humans totally dominate right now. So what if you are big, scary elephant if 10-15 orginized monkeys kill and eat you and your family in the end.
