what do you think of this, looks like 405 to me but there could be an extra plate on there, amazing how long he holds it at the top.

Terrible music...

Great lift...can't really see the correct weight but impressive either way.

yeah that's amazing strength even if it is 405, i can't believe he held it for so long at the top, unreal.

[alexxx]

It's the right weight. Impressive!

[The Squadfather]

i just counted, he held that thing for 11 seconds at the top, unreal.

[Blockhead]

 Well...how long did DRAGO hold it at the top while the Russian media and his team of trainers clapped and cheared before he threw it down?

[chris_mason]

Marunde is a strong guy, especially in the overhead pressing varieties.

if that's really 5 plates he's far beyond strong, that is in another realm especially holding it for as long as he did.

[hangclean]

It's 495.  % 45 pound plates.  You can count them if you pause it at the right time.

drago pressed it using only shoudlers,

marunde push pressed it,

doesn't gary taylor hold the world record for this?

[The Squadfather]

hahahaha, do a little experiment, count off eleven seconds by saying one Mississippi, two Mississippi, etc. and then imagine holding a 500 pound barbell overhead for that long, crazy.

yeah Gary was a beast on that movement but i gotta say that the way Marunde pushed that i think he could do 545 with a little time easily, i think Gary may have done a little over 500.

I have a hard time believing he would get 495 lbs BNP.

Like I stated, it's what I believe after watching a few vids on Marunde's website.

The guy's a monster BTW, really good.

During 1994, Gary Taylor lifted 270kg (595lb) overhead, a new world record, but fate was unkind and he suffered a severe bicep injury which kept him out of some major contests. However, the fighting spirit which thrilled his many supporters was very much in evidence as he continued to win major contest and establish new records. I have been asked to referee Gary attempting a jerk from behind the neck with 272kg (600lb) for the Guinness Book of Records programme. This is still awaited as two severe injuries to arm and abdomen have taken their toll, and surgery has been necessary. At this time he is training heavy power cleaning up to 200kg and doing partial squats about 500kg for 15 reps! It looks likely that Gary will continue for quite some time giving pleasure to strength disciples the world over.

595, I think taht is still the world record.

[pumpster]

4 wheels, 405.

i've seen this guy in person at a couple of meets and he's not very thick or big, he's tall and wide as a barn door though, he shows off a lot with the posing and running around screaming but he is a strong fuccker.

[Chico_Holiday]

Great clip, impressive lift!

Just the sight of that would make most tiny tits wet their pants and spill their tupperware container of skinless chicken and brown rice all over their Abercrombie & Fitch shirts!

Hey David do you remember the WSM contest where him and Joe Onasai went head to head in the push press, i think they both did over 500 that day.

Some of his other clips are really impressive, his 20 rep squats are amazing. 

I actually met a few Irish strongmen recently, and they weren't big either (apart from Glenn Ross who was gigantic) but still amazing strong guys.

Yep Gary was a BEAST fir sure, I liek Marunde though, he showboats when he hits most musculars, btu he is very well spoken, and comes acorss as a really nice guy.

He had a lot of respect for mariuzs when he lost to him.
