Why do people say “drug free”? Who cares if you’re on or off?[/quote]
Haha seriously thats one of the most important factors to mention cause people become so much stronger using roids, it is so much harder and more rewarding doing it the real way without cheating. And btw very nice lift ;)[/quote]
Really hope that’s sarcasm. I WISH all you had to do was put a needle with some roids in your shoulder and be able to handle some weight. [/quote]
Haha i handle plenty of weight drugfree and that is good enough for me, wish you threw the fucking needles away instead , i dont need that shit in my body.
I just don’t understand the reasoning behind stating your drug free. You take steroids, you take them. Personal choice. Drug free or no, a 3x bw deadlift is good regardless of what you are or aren’t on.

No, this isn’t a bash on just you, OP, it’s a trend I see far too often. [/quote]
Just spit my coffee all over my desk! Thanks for the laugh Black_Angus.
You should have also stated in the title of the thread that it was RAW!!

Year but it is far more impressive for a drugfree lifter thats my opinion and most people will agree
The most impressive deadlift is the heaviest one. 700lbs Deadlifs are
more impressive than 600Lbs and 1000lbs Deadlift are more impressive than 999lbs deadlifts.
I personally could care less whether its drug free or not and niether do MOST competitions and record books are written by the guys who continue to break barriers and are pushing their bodies harder and farther than others can or are willing to.

how the fuck can this even be remotely argued lol
2 guys are same age same height same weight both DL 600 one on gear one not OF COURSE the natural is more impressive
doesnt mean i give a fuck about the other guy taking gear though
the inference of yo the roids dont lift the weight dude is also fucking absurd they make a huge difference for fucks sake

Great lift, but isn’t it counterproductive to just sit by the bar like that for so long?[/quote]
Yeah that’s what I was thinking when I watched it. You lose tightness in my opinion if you set up too long. I try to keep set up short.[/quote]
He wasn’t sitting at the bar when he pulled though. He had a long “routine” before the lift, but before the pull itself actually happened, you’ll notice his legs are fully extended for several seconds before he bends down and rips it off the floor. He didn’t lose his stretch reflex or anything.

No but staying bent over like that keeps your hamstrings in a stretched position for a long time. Stretching too intensely before a maximum contraction can limit strength, or even lead to a pulled muscle. It could very well be the difference in how many hitches he needs to complete the lift. IMHO it would be very helpful to find a better way of psyching himself up
Other than that I agree with Yolo, it’s helpful to know all the facts. Evidently he needs to state he did it without a suit also since somebody later compares it to a picture of a guy doing one with a suit on.

No kidding. If steroids didn’t make a huge difference, people wouldn’t take the risks of using them.

Year but i think it is a shame all sports are so messed up from drugs and we as specators would rather watch the most weightlifted regardless of drug usage. It is a shame we are too greedy, and you dont stand a chance anymore in some sports if you are not willing to take drugs. Long story short we as humans will always sacrifice dignity to strive for “more” .

Is it? So what if there’s a hitch? He’s not in a goddamn meet. I know you’re one strong dude, but could you even do 650 with any amount of hitching? I fucking couldn’t.

Nor could I. But there’s an egregious amount of hitching that would certainly disqualify this lift. It’s sort of like squatting a whole lotta weight but not hitting depth. Impressive, but not totally legit.
Personally, I like the mention of drug free. Moving heavy weight is moving heavy weight. But it’s just that much more impressive when it’s without any aid.

Hmm… I never thought of it like that. I give 0 credit to half squatters, even if it’s fucking 800lbs or something. I don’t know why, but hitching just doesn’t seem the same to me. Maybe it’s because hitching is allowed in some strongman stuff, or because you’re still going through the full range of motion. I dunno, for whatever reason hitching doesn’t bother me at all like a high squat would. I guess I can see now how some people might have that perspective though.
