 Not bad for a guy who CLEARLY pops anadrols like Tic Tacs and plunges 3g of enanthate a week along with a gram of deca with 100mg of halotestin every hour on the hour...

There's probably another band behind the left pillar (his right) that we can't see; band on one side doesn't make any sense.

I wouldn't look at that dude and say obvious steroid user, just based on looks, but ripping 700+ pounds off the ground like it's nothing is an impressive feat at that size.

there is...it is visible when he drops the weight after the first set.

They lighten the weight at the beginning of the lift and give less help as the bar goes up. So he really didn't do the weight raw, but that's still very, very strong

His physique may not SCREAM steroids, but I think 5'11 and 230 is still pretty damn big and I know a lot of smaller guys who are on steroids.

His strength DOES scream steroids though.  And steroids or not, his strength is freaky!

He's doing reverse band deads to help overload the lockouts at the top of the lift. Helps to break through sticking points. Hell of a lift.

He seems to have moved from bodybuilding to powerlifting ever since his pec tear.  Although I believe he is still claiming drug-free status.  If Layne is natural or even clean right now, he is a genetic freak for strength in my opinion.  Even if he is using, that is still an impressive lift.

so

we have a natural Layne norton who comes within a few pounds of Coleman who did 800 for a double while being the most gifted bodybuilder strength wise ever and on 8-9 grams of shit weekly

he is the most amazing human being ever born in this galaxy and will become sportsman of the year

Layne's REAL deadlift PR is something like 690lbs. This is a REVERSE BAND deadlift.

Extremely strong in any case.

More like 150lbs from Ronnie at his peak. Ronnie could've done well over 8 for single. And imagine if he had had say 4 weeks to prep for a meet.

Those pounds are a lifetime away for Layne. Even with monster juice.

no its not.

Layne could probably reach 800 pounds within a few months of juciing hard, and coleman has been juicing hard for 20+ years.

Put that juice into laynes body and hes an ALOT stronger DL'er IMO.

solid proof some getbiggers never lifted significant amounts or juiced to realize the world of difference all these variables make.

I cannot believe that on the biggest bb board in the world there are people who do not have a clue about bodybuilding.

The only reason why you lifted so much more juiced is because your fragile ego became over inflated on juice and it looks like it still is,

In a few months? What the fuck do you know about deadlifting these types of poundages? Do you even deadlift? :D There's an absolutely huge difference between 8+ and 690. Even with crazy genetics for pulling and monster juice it's going to be unlikely for him to be able to do it in just a few months.

Now Layne may or may not be a better natural puller, but still.

I know guys with a 500+ dl add 100 pounds on it while jumping in the juice within Weeks.

So no doubt in my mind a lifetime natty ( if he is) can add 100 pounds on his deadlift with a few months.

Again, there's a huge difference between 500 to 600 and 700 to 800. Take a look, how many gifted and juiced to the gills people deadlift over 800? There's factors other than pure muscular strength that's going to affect things when you get to those levels.

A guy who benches 315 can go to 400 on juice but an extremely gifted natural who benches 400 will not go to 500 as easily as the first guy goes to 400.

Layne uses a hook grip though - it's like wearing straps (seriously).  :D

Not to mention many deadlifters know using straps can dramatically lower the amount you can pull, for various reasons (as long as you don't have small hands).

how many naturals lift 700? though before they started juicing hard? assuming hes a natty

Very very few. I know some who do way more than that lifetime natural though (but suited).

But you're making my point sort of. If someone is pulling that much natural then he has maximized a few things already and juice isn't going to speed things along as much as it would for a weaker person.

to some extent ofc you're right.

I do however think Ronnie wouldnt be able to lift anything close to 700 as a natty.. And Layne is, So I do also think layne could reach 800, maby not within just a few months, but after a While on gear im 100% he would =)  ...and I dont even like layne.

Even with the bands he's stronger than a silverback gorilla.

Why doesn't he compete in tested events? anyone?

He's one of the strongest deadlifters pound for pound you will ever see and he is not natural...give it up already.

The day he competes in a "real" tested meet i will never post about him again. He holds records in "open" federations that do not enforce any sort of strict drug testing. use your head on that one.

Still i cannot take anything away from the guy, he is one of the most gifted strength athletes on the scene right now, i just wish he would drop the whole "natural" thing.

I don't know a lot about the guy but that kind of goes against his very, VERY vocal anti-drug natural stance......doesn't it?

You would think he'd happily piss in a cup right onstage at the meet the way he carries on.

to be fair, I dont think there is alot of natural tested comps around him..

Im assuming people understand that hes not actually mocing that weight by himself =)

I didn't know exactly how much assistance they gave. 230 lbs is a lot so i'm not quite as awestruck as i was, but he's still a strong ass dude

Post by: Coach is Back! on November 11, 2009, 08:45:29 AM
Even with the bands he's stronger than a silverback gorilla.

Why doesn't he compete in tested events? anyone?

He's one of the strongest deadlifters pound for pound you will ever see and he is not natural...give it up already.

The day he competes in a "real" tested meet i will never post about him again. He holds records in "open" federations that do not enforce any sort of strict drug testing. use your head on that one.

Still i cannot take anything away from the guy, he is one of the most gifted strength athletes on the scene right now, i just wish he would drop the whole "natural" thing.

I agree, like I said it's a hell of a lift.

Cant speak for what Laynes status is but I have a friend who is natural NO QUESTION and hes pulled 700. So its possible. Hes 100x thicker than Layne though and looks as strong as he lifts. Some of his lifts 635 squat x 4, 315 bench x 20, 150 incline db x 7, 495 front squat x 3. Hes around 25, sickest genetics ever. Commence with the calling of bullshit on this 3...2....1

stop making up bullshit excuses for Layne.  "it's the grip"  ::)

I'm with Sev on this.  either he is one of the strongest pullers for his weight the world has ever seen, or he is on something

What excuse am I making for him you fuckin moron?

All I'm saying is that him pulling without straps isn't putting him at a disadvantage. If his grip always failed him at higher weights then you'd have a point.

If I had to adjust my straps in the deadlift before pulling I'd pull 100lbs less. You can't 'grip and rip' with straps.

Layne has long arms and is a great deadlifter. I'd believe him that he is natural no reason to doubt him. Also is he not approaching 30 years of age by now?

...has anyone considered that Layne might be using 15kg/33lb or maybe even 10kg/23lb plates that just happen to look like 20kg/45lb plates?

Eight plates at 230 lbs bodyweight?

At that strength level wouldn't he be benching 450 and squatting 600... all for reps? I somehow doubt Layne Norton is on a par strength wise with a best ever Mike Francois.


Eight 15kg/33lb plates each side; totaling 575lbs/260kg seems more believable at his bodyweight.

Hell, even eight 10kg/23lb plates each side; totaling 400lbs/180kg is pretty good.


If memory serves, Alex23 is the only person on here who has vouched for Norton's strength, claiming to have witnessed such feats firsthand.

Is Alex23 the type of person who would start such an urban legend?

Layne Norton (220) deadlifted 690 pounds raw at the APA Indiana Powerfest on September 19 in Wheatfield, Indiana. The pull gave Norton the third spot on the Powerlifting Watch Lifter Rankings. He added a 570 pounds squat and 275 pound bench press to total 1,535 pounds.

Norton is still recovering from a torn pec. His opening deadlift was 625 pounds and his second, 675 pounds, before he pulled 690 pounds.

Post by: #1 Klaus fan on November 11, 2009, 07:19:14 PM
I would like to know how much he deadlifted 5, 4, 3 etc years ago because it seems his numbers have skyrocketed. This is only my intuition plus common guess work I guess  ;D, but naturals should be steadily improving to until about 35 years of age. Now there are these juniors, like that big kid in this thread, who lift huge amounts very young and some of them are probably natural, and they should be improving for over a decade if they keep their motivation and remain healthy. Then there are those lifters who are juiced to the max, peak at the age of 18 and might even after that lose their touch and regress, if they have to alter their juice stack for example.

Hey Van.........Any further comment on how you said Layne uses a special "Kung Fu Grip" when he deadlifts because using straps make you weaker in the pull. And that you can actually pull 100 lbs more without straps ?

Yeah, I didn't even look at the video before commenting. I just assumed based on Sev's comment that he did it without straps. So my bad.

However, using straps will reduce the amount you can pull for many powerlifters. Just ask a sample of deadlift specialists (powerlifters). For a few straps can improve their dead, if grip is the limiting factor.

Yes, I can pull 100lbs more without straps. Sitting down adjusting your straps doesn't allow for a 'grip and rip' technique. You can't pull in as much air either before starting the lift. The less time you spend in the starting position the better.

I haven't seen Layne say his grip often fails with a hook grip. Who knows, maybe it does. I think using straps is more of a comfort issue for him. 700 resting on the thumb isn't comfortable.

Hold on a sec.  I've seen your pic...the one where you're wearing a cowboy hat and look all of 180 pounds.

Sorry, but you have zero credibility.

Layne is one real strong dude and does have a great physique.  I think he is natural too, no reason to not believe him, he doesn't have the look of someone on gear, even low dosages.  Don't know if I would have white lighted those deadlifts though...

As mentioned in this thread, Layne does have very long arms so he is at a mechanical advantage for this lift.  Not that it makes it non-impressive, I'm just saying it makes sense that he would dominate this lift.
