Doesn't he have any friends to tell him that being less demonstrative will get get him more respect than that douchebag stomp thing he does!?   ???

Layne has to be the most dedicated guy out there.

PHD in protein synthesis, never misses a meal, never goes out partying.

Gotta respect that

sick pull...also believe he's pulled the APA 220 raw WR of 645?  Glad to see him making such fast gains. I don't care who you are that's a strong pull that didn't look that difficult.

yea, have you tried even deadlifting 315 with Double overhand grip and no straps, i can't fucking do it.

with alternate grip i can deadlift 405x2 but with double overhand like layne is using i can barely move 315 inches off the ground.
His grip strength is ridiculous.

That is one strong lift especially for his bodyweight! I wonder how he got his grip strength so strong? When using alternate grip I almost dropped the bar with only 190kgs.

this impresses me too, he look in shape, not like a power lifter at all, yet very strong.

Hook grip. You  put your thumbs under your first and second fingers. It hurts like hell but once you get used to it, it is good. If you ever loose it though it just pops out... no chance to grind out a rep if your grip goes.

He did that weight no straps with double overhand grip. Very impressive. Maybe I should start doing my lifts "for the troops" to break 405?  ;D

Holy shit what stereotyping. Bodybuilders have bigger guts than powerlifters nowadays.

And oh yeah, all the armless/legless/headless marines will thank you and your lift, Layne.

Just to corret myself so I'm not completely stereotyping myself.  :D If we compare bodybuilders and powerlifters within the same weightclass. They might have even bigger guts. There.  :)

I can't believe this guy - he acts and looks like a total turd in the video.  His physique in contest shape is impressive, but his little act is ridiculous.  Good lift, but this still registers as an EPIC FAIL.

I would consider a 660 pound deadlift to be impressive regardless of body weight and drug use.  I know others will disagree, but that is some seriously heavy weight, not to mention, he handled it pretty easily in my opinion.

Be carefull Io856, SexualMustard is living the dream.
his proudest achievements include deadlifting 405, juicing up for a shitty low class bodybuilding contest only to look skinny as hell and drawing over outlines for DC comics and various bodybuilders who "hire" him to draw them in posing trunks during private sessions.
