Great bench, even better beard.

It’s more like an assisting negative rather than a controlled one. Using teh lats. Anyone who has actually done it will know what I’m talking about.
Looks like he could have done a couple more even.
well then.
Yeah it wasn’t a max. I train with the guy and he is a freak 6’8 405lbs. His pressing strength is unreal
I know this is powerlifting but this was a pretty epic strongman training session we had from a few weeks ago

Man I’m gonna keep an eye on this guy. Seems like he is on his way to competing at the top level. I’m a huge fan of strongman.

We are both doing the Dallas Europa Its his 5th show and about 14 month in strongman. He barley missed getting his pro card at the Arnold this year

Is he having a tough time with his deadlift strength relative to his press strength? I only ask because it sure doesn’t seem like his press is keeping him from getting a pro card lol; so I figure his difficulty must be with the ridiculous deadlifts strongman competitors have to do.
Good luck in Dallas btw.

it is what needed the most work. Especially the car deadlift, we have put a ton of work in on that.
His deadlift is right around 800 right now, which funny enough by strongman standards still needs a lot of work lol. Coming from football they never really deadlift. Kind of like Mike Jenkins
Thanks! I will be competing in the 175 class, winner gets an invite to the Arnold world championships next year (first year for the weight class)

How old is he?
It is amazing how much these guys weigh these days. 300lbs seems to almost be the minimum. I remember when ahola was dominant and he must have only weighed about 260.

F’ing strong. Epic beard probably boosts his lifts a good 300 pounds, lol.

Fuck haha. Think I heard recently that Terry Hollands has “cut down” from around 185kg to 165kg!
Obviously goes with the weight, but the events are so much heavier than before too. I remember ahola DLing around 360kg in one WSM contest and the commentators shitting their pants over it. Everyone else bailed out between 320-340.
