Dude is a serious beast. Strongman deadlift, hitching is allowed for the "form police" out there...
-
Would not love to be that bar
-
I've deadlifted almost two and a half times my bodyweight before, where's my fucking internet fame?
Post some vids and we will piss in your pocket for you.

Ed Coan used strict beautiful form and I presume less gear.
wtf Andy Bolton is on dialysys? So much for diuretics being responsible for fucking all those guys kidneys up.
-
Ungoddamnreal feat of strength.
Straps and hitching or not.
(Doesn't hurt that the one and only Kaz is standing behind him. A true legend. Motivation!)
Congrats to Eddie!

Coan pulled 901 at around 220 pounds bodyweight. After this feat, I believe he never pulled sumo ever again. He injured his hips doing so. Using a conventional style, he hit within the 800s, consistently. Still freakish. Although by this time, his bodyweight had moved him into the 242 class.
As has been said recently, the squat and bench press almost always goes up with more body weight; but not necessarily the deadlift. Relatively speaking, huge/world-class pulls can be achieved at generally "lighter" bodyweights.
The news about Andy is news to me, as well. That stinks.

Congratulations, A 300lb dead lift is nothing to sneeze at... ;D ;D

Especially good with that bar whipping back to front as much as it did.

Andy being on dialysis is news to me but I'm NOT surprised in the least, and I doubt he was surprised either when he got ill. I specifically remember thinking how unhealthy he looked a few years back.
I'm just amazed some of these guys are still standing. Andy was just too big
to be healthy, enormous waist... all these strongmen are close to death, especially on the day of pulling like this. Imagine the stress on the heart and everything else with the spike in bloodpressure while weighing so much and being on enormous doses of all manner of drugs.
But I don't necessarily condemn them in any way, the price of pushing the limits is known and deemed worth it.

worth it? to get admiration from a duck pond of people that and into lifting and pinning themselves? lol...
get your priorities in life straight ffs...
99% of all people dont see the difference between a 250 kg deadlift and a 400 kg deadlift. it's all just "alot of weight" to them... and 99% of those that do know do not care that much anyways

the drug aspect in strength sports is pushed so far now it's not worth it anymore, for anyone imo
you risk your life for a world record but what does it mean when you don't have your health anymore or worse dead..
-
You could say the same to a boxer or formula one driver... They put there health in the line to try and be the best at what they do. If you want to be great at something you have to pay the price along the line...

I presume VanB meant "worth it [to Andy]". Intrinsic motivation is what drives these guys, I don't think any of them do what they do in the hopes of obtaining fame & money.

Nothing in this world is worth it, we will all die soon. Eddie Hall thought it was amazing that Arnold was looking at him, apparently a big thing to him. For myself, I wouldn't give a shit about Arnold or what he thought of me. My point is that I'm not judging them or feel sorry for them because we all do all manner of stupid and useless shit all day long. They know it's dangerous and may regret it later on anyway but that's true also for the rest of us and the stupid things we all do.

Yes. It's the same with bodybuilding and all the guys here crying about how it's stupid when there's no money in it. It was never about money, not mainly, not even for the few pros making a little money. And here's the thing: even if bb paid a ton of money what are you going to do with the money when you're dead due to the bodybuilding lifestyle?!
IMO it's about a feeling of control over some aspect of life, transcending something, going somewhere.
There are a few people who dropped the bb lifestyle, maybe because it was too dangerous. But even knowing how rational the decision was they can rarely let go completely, they go on dreaming about what might have been... posting 20 year old bb pics of themselves on FB or whatever. Look at Howard here on GB, he thinks about bb constantly... yeah he has his health but what if he went all out for glory! :D
-
I don't see pics of Ed Coan in hospital
To my knowledge, Coan had a hip surgery already. But as said, the price for "glory" is known, take it or leave it.
As far as Arnold strongman competition goes, the people who run it are absolute morons. Yoke is a spine and hip destroyer at those ridiculous weights, deadlift bar is so wobbly that the lifters body becomes totally unstable at the top part of the lift resulting in spine movement with maximum load on it. A dumbbell at those weights is a disc hernia operation in the making because of the position of spine for overhead part of the lift execution.
Just reckless, dumb, go for it no matter what organization without a a slightest idea or knowledge how the body works and moves. It is too much weight for those kind of movement with that kind of equipment.

You fucking kidding, it's strongman.... Its meant to be reckless and brutal
-
I`m sorry if my words were not in a spirit of comic hero Conan, but real life strongmen that I talked to have said to me - it is stupid to go for those weights. It proves nothing except who takes more stuff before dying and manages to live to test his strength.
Modern strongmen is chemical insanity coupled with endless stupidity on the part of organizers like those at arnolds.
-
(http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/3-05-2016/8Pnzyp.gif)

Looks like Kaz standing in the backround.

Love the old guy on the left pulling with him at the end. Old lifters die hard.

Even everyday jobs carry risk of injury or death, just minus the glory.

That's what makes them great. Only the strongest and bravest of men would risk such outcomes. Running into battle is also reckless, but that's what heroes are made of. The pussies just watch on and try in vain to hide their cowardice.
-
Talented people who are good at what they do should always get praise. However, people like Andy Bolton and Ron Coleman take it too far.
Both cannot cope with their bodies failing them, and desperately try to cling on to what's left with the delusional thoughts of making a 'comeback'. Whatever that is supposed to entail.
I literally laughed when I read Bolton's statement about the dialysis treatment being due to "ilness". Yes, I'm sure you caught some tropic virus and it wasn't the exogeneous substances (which is fine, I don't care). But to then start training again to try and once more hit your all time bests, that just spells disaster. Dialysis, if anything, should have been a wake-up call.
I'm sure Andy Bolton, and similar 'athletes', are very likeable people. Yet when they have nothing going on besides 'being the best' at what they do, it really leaves no safety net or nothing to fall back upon. I doubt he'll live much longer.
-
Andy said he kept a high bodyweight with hypertension for a lot of years. HP is just awful when it comes to kidneys and then you put all that protein in also and it can be an overload (+supplements).
Ofc strongmen are top of the strength world, all I`m saying is don`t kill the lifters ;D
Eddy retired from competition because of triceps issues, Lalas and Z went fairly low in the deadlift compared to others, Shaw is said to injured hammys,... You can be strong as an elephant but the spine and joints can only take so much, that`s why it is stupid to use a bar as the one at the Arnolds. It increases the risk for injury big time with no difference in testing ones strength compared to stiffer bar - Eddy and Shaw would still be on top.
And yeah, Z won again :o
-
strong but what is his best without straps?
WHen did Andy Bolton's kidneys fail?

Pro football and Basketball players are the same for the most part, except most of them do have a safety net of several million dollars... If they are smart, no such luck for the strongman/bodybuilder, the money just isn't there.
-
Strongman has to be one of the most dangerous sports going. Just in the past decade, two men who had podium finishes during that time at WSM have died. Even BB appears safer in comparison.
-
They all have to wear oxygen masks during sleep because of sleep apnea. ASC winner Mike Jenkins died in his sleep and a lot of lifters said they are walking on the edge of knife lots of times, even powerlifters. Eddie is at least being honest, it ain`t good for your body, period:
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-35726627 (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-35726627)
No one really knows what the consequences of modern gear + insulin,... on top of crazy weights being pushed will be for them in the long run.

I wouldn't do it. Have to admire his passion though. Had he pushed himself this hard in a commercial endeavour, he would be lauded by all. Yet in the end both are equally futile.

It's interesting how we continue to bash the pursuit of dreams that we consider worthless.
Arguing the merits of heavy lifting...... I've known several older strongman who advise against......
Hindsight is always 20/20. If I knew what I know now two weeks ago I'd have done some things differently. EVERY older heavy lifter has advice about how lifting damaged their body, yet every old person I see has a damaged body, do the heavy weights hurt or is aging in general a bad idea.
The point remains if given those moments in time back they'd likely make the same choices.
Whining about wasting their lives on worthless pursuits is laughable. We have people here that believe the POTUS has wasted his life..... pursue your goals because you'll be dead before you know it.
Those who can do those who can't criticize.

Their might be a few serious gym rat's who would care enough to understand the hard work that goes into pulling off such a feat of strength. The average Joe wouldn't care, but they don't care about most things gym related. Works both ways, I couldn't give a fuck about some guy pulling down 6 figures in his job and working 60 hour weeks or talking about his new hobby parachuting out of planes. To each their own.

I would get him some more sausage rolls and listen to his tales of heroism.

Hahaha. Absolute truth. Prob tells everyone how he would have killed that pro boxer too, if he was allowed to deadlift him.
Seriously, what's wrong with some of you? Any man who has passion in his (brief) life for something or in the pursuit of something is better off than the mindless billions who drudge through existence with not an ounce of fire in their bellies.
That you don't care about achieving spectacular results in physical strength shouldn't motivate to criticize those who do. I have a feeling those who attack are among those mentioned who aren't particularly exceptional in much of anything.
Those with passion and a burning motivation for greatness rarely don't champion others with the same drive and heart to become/achieve something that very few would ever date attempt.
Weak and pathetic men, you.

I simply care for the man's health.

I agree with this. A lot of sports at the highest level carry fatal risks. Amazing how many haters there are out there!
Strength Training can add another dimension to anyone's training, and these guys who push the envelope are responsible for much knowledge and wisdom in the acquisition of strength. You many not want to be the strongest, but what MAN doesn't want to be stronger? I respect the hell out of these men, they sacrifice an easy anonymous lifestyle while putting themselves out there in the public spotlight for all and sundry to either praise or criticise.

No disrespect but can you give an example?
Most people I know that pursue their goals go all in. At the time they seem obsessive and after its accomplished they usually agree they may have went over board (I'm talking simple things like a room remodel or working overtime for vacation money) and compromised health with stress and lack of sleep.
Again not attacking just making a general observation, I don't feel that for most of these guys (bodybuilding/plifting) are making choices with long term plans but there are no guarantees in life. If they're all in that's on them.
We all know people who pursued worthwhile goals like family and relationships and those ended poorly. We don't tell them to not get involved again.

Sure, like you say someone who works overtime for vacation money or to save up for some purchase might suffer from stress or lack of sleep in the short term. That doesn't lead to them being a candidate for hip surgery/dialysis/etc at age 40. Same with most other passions, be they craftsmanship, artistic, or activist in nature.
Powerlifting & bodybuilding at the elite level are unique in the extreme physical toll that they take on the body. Of course, it's your life, if you don't mind being an invalid at an early age, go for it

As WSM and the British strongest man are on prime TV in the UK you know fine well he's a celebrity in his area, everyone knows who the 28 stone strongman with the mr T hair cut is....
-

Nope. A passion is something you would give your all for. Anything else is just a nice-to-have that you would drop as soon as things get difficult.
-

Europe's Strongest Man in Leeds last year, 7000 people chanting his name before the first event had even started. So yes, people do know.

wrist wraps?
sorry not impressed

Eddie's official Facebook page has over 300,000 fans and growing so he's definitely somewhat of a mini celebrity. I also remember Terry Hollands saying that he regularly gets recognized when out shopping and people often want to take pics with him.
-

sorry not impressed
Hope you're just trolling... for those who are not: He is pulling as a first event in a strongman competition. Most events require insane grip strength, so it makes sense to not overly tax your grip on the first event. Since he's great at farmer's walk I'm pretty sure his grip is okay. Though admittedly not the best in the world.
-
I do not watch strongman but what is the wt limit to those bars, that was some serious flexion that bar had in that lift.
