He did a 461 at the europes strongest man and matched Benni but it didn`t count because he dropped the bar down.

Did he not get 2 reps in the euro with 420 or so when they never gave him the 1st rep, immensely strong young man, can match anyone statically, struggles on load race type events tho

Best British strongman in decades, shame eddy Elwood never moved into strongman earlier on in his career as he had similar strength levels

Amazing, but ...

Used wrist straps.

NOT official.

I wanted to hate because I like Magnusson, but that was a nice lift. I don't mind the straps as much because all of the #1000 deadlifts haven't been official official. Benni's first was on high quality gym plates, but not official competition plates, with belt. The other was on competition plates, but with belt and straps. Now Hall's is just straps. So in my mind, all three are sort of up there in the same league.

No Way he could Lift this weight without Straps, he s Almost loosing it with straps

And he s bouncing the weight up, which is against the rules

You're right, I didn't catch that much of a hitch the first time around, I see it now. It's on the mild side.

Here are all three against each other -

How is that a world record if he used straps?

That's the problem. Some have taken to calling these with the straps Strongman Style Deadlift records because the rules on straps and hitching are looser than powerlifting. As far as powerlifting goes, the record is still generally accepted as held held by Magnusson, but then you have the question of the plates.

I can understand straps and hitching and that but what the hell difference do the plates make? If its a 25kg plate its a 25kg plate isn't it?

BB · « **Reply #16 on:** March 15, 2015, 10:54:57 AM »

When you cast iron plates, they'll be some overage or underage on the stated weight. On the cheapest plates there is no guarantee on it matching the stated weight, so you can see wild swings on the plates. Better gym quality plates are usually guaranteed to be -/+ 2% of stated weight, and competition plates are guaranteed to within a few grams.

You can negate having to use competition plates by weighing them on a calibrated scale, but then you'd have to check the scale, and trust the meet director, etc.... Most of the larger feds now call for the plates to be competition for it to count.

It's a strongman world record.If you're Brian Shaw, Big Z or a WSM fan this lift totally counts.

Agreed. If you cannot hold onto it, how can you call it a successful lift? Same with all those rubberized suits some power lifters choose to wear.

I couldn't lift it either way but that's not the point. The point is they can't with out the assistance of those straps. Still strong? Yes.

affeman · « **Reply #19 on:** March 15, 2015, 11:31:40 AM »

Why is he using an overhand grip? He could've done way more with an alternate grip.

If one thinks of it in this context, I suppose you are correct sir!

I am a fan of WSM and believe those men to be true athletes. Functional, not fictional strength. Bodybuilders get the title that Bill Pearl once bestowed upon them en masse - "Physique Athletes".

Live to pose. Pose to live.

Strongman deadlift has different rules than PL... (Straps, hitching, all OK)...

So they actually don't weigh the plates before competition? Wow! I assumed there would always be an official scale at any legit meet to weight all the plates to get an exact weight...
