How humiliating would it be to just finish up a set with that bar and weight...then along comes this guy and he asks you if you are finished with the bar, you say yes ..then he just picks it up with one hand and takes it to another area of the gym.. hahaha
This is Jon Pall one of the great strongmen in the world. Look at 3:41 into the clip he lifts what looks to be 500lbs+ with ease and waves to the crowd.
yeah it's supposed to be... and yeah farmers are not only easier because they balance each other out but they're shorter. If you don't grip the barbell EXACTLY in the middle or standup smoothly...the offset or swing is enough to crank your pink or index finger right open and fuck up the lift. These are supposed to help my core muscles out to help my squatting..here's hoping.

You are an ox dude, but aren't you worried you're gonna screw up your back doing something like that? that's a whole lotta torque on your spine.
If any one would bother to check, quite a few old time strongmen did mid 400's to 500 in regular workouts. Herman Goerner was in the mid 600 lb range I believe. Those were mostly the solid cast iron bars (and thicker gripped) or shot loaded globes on the ends of the lifting bars. Not the best balanced in the world. A guy named Cavattone did 562 one handed last year. Do not know his bwt. Experienced strongmen and trainers seem to agree that a lifter should be ably to almost do (with-in a 100lb or so) an equal amount with one hand as with both hands. Seem logical, seeing as how the arm(s) are gripping and hoiding the DL'ing bar in place while the back and lower body does the actual lifting.
in comes the lifting legend "jpm" to try and spoil the party, this guy is the biggest clown on here, anytime someone posts a good lift this clown knows 50 other guys who can beat it yet he won't post a picture of himself to save his life, typical skinny chickenshit.
haha it's funny how some people always have friends that do way better than you in everything, wheter it is strenght, money or anything else
