Where does he stand in terms of strength? Like I’m pretty sure he’s stronger than Stan Efferding, by watching both their vids, not to mention he’s freaking 20. [/quote]
Your pretty sure he’s stronger then the strongest raw lifter of all time?
O rly?
He’s definitely up there with the freaks though. One of the most motivating young guys out there. Be awesome if he did break the raw total, sure it’s well within his capabilities.
his calculated deadlift 1rm is well over 900
this kid should REALLY, REALLY, REALLY consider getting seriously into powerlifting…
Not to take away from his bodybuilding accomplishments at all. But this kid is seriously STRONG

Maybe not. I’m still wondering where he stands though.
I’m sure he’ll do both in the future, pretty excited to see him kill it when he eventually does
His shoulders in the late night rambling are nuts. Look like basketballs. Who ever on here was getting on him for getting so big. Looks like he did aight. Strong as 2 oxes (or maybe its ox-i)

When you’ve reached the point where you have to STRAP weights to the bar, as it can no longer accommodate your Herculean poundages on its own, it’s safe to say that you’ve entered beast mode.
what’s blowing my mind is that this kid is 20 YEARS OLD
How strong were you at 20 years old?
Will you ever even be this strong?
Jesus

Truth
‘its not about competing against others its abotu competing against yourself, and if im trying harder than you are, im going to make gains better for myself than you will.’ so fucking true. This video is awesome and not be a homo but his voice is perfect for this kind of talk haha should be a spokesman.
‘you can have terrible form but if youre trying hard, youre gaining’
why powerlifting? waste of his stats at such a young age.
how much money will he make in powerlifting? 1000 bucks and a t-shirt to break world raw records?
someome send this kid to the NFL for fucks sake.

I know nothing about American Football… but I have to presume being uber-strong doesn’t automatically make you good at it.

So why don’t all the competitors in the worlds strongest man play football?
Perfect example is our own STB, he’s one of the strongest guys in this whole country, yet he only made it to a lower level college program.
There is a skill to playing football, just like any other sport, it’s not all about strength and speed.

you sound like you know what he wants, maybe you should write his biography one day. calm down i didnt put a gun to his head and walked him to the combine. he can do what he wants and im sure you will tell us all about it.
he can always take up powerlifting, how many chances will he get in life to make millions? he needs an agent. get off your “he likes lifting dont crap on his goal” bullshit like he told you that personally. sure, he might suck at it, if thats the case he can always put on his inzer suit and fire away. but he should try.
Methinks you’re the one projecting your mentality on someone else by suggesting that pursuing riches is the only worthy career…
Yeah who the hell wants to hold some records for lifting heavy shit that no one else can. That wouldnt be something to be proud of. Should just try and make as much money as possible rather than leaving a lasting mark in history
