Bigger Stronger Leaner

My close friend and UFC fighter Tom Lawlor decided to take on one of the challenges discussed by Dan John in his Test Your Grit: 3 Challenges article.

Attached is the video of Tom’s 100 rep Deadlift Challenge. He performed 100 reps of conventional deadlift with 315lbs in 30 minutes! All of this was performed at DTS Speed and Strength in Longwood, FL. Special thanks goes out to Jon and Olivia at DTS Speed and Strength (www.dtsperformance.com).

Here is the youtube link and link to Tom Lawlor’s website:

Any comments left will gladly be passed along to Tom.

Good stuff. Oh, and if his first round against Simpson wasn’t a 10-8, I don’t know what round ever was. That fight shoulda been a draw.

wow, can’t think of anything else but WOW & “don’t do that at home kids”

That is fucking beastly weight for his weight…God damn man. Wouldn’t expect anything else from an MMA fighter one of the most mentally tuff sports/competitors out there good luck in your upcoming fights man!

Damn impressive.

BUT, who in the flying hell are the idiots that decide to add mind-meltingly awful music to just about EVERY video that’s ever posted online?!? WTF?! WTF?! WTF?!

BulletproofTiger - Tom has said it has taken and is still taking quite a while to recover from that workout. Rough stuff indeed.

FrozenNinja - Where abouts in FL are you? If you are a reasonable distance to Longwood, I would definitely recommend checking out DTS. Jon is a great guy and very knowledgeable. Check out the DTS website and take a trip over to the place. I guarantee you will be impressed. They’ve done some great things with a variety of athletes.

He impressed me alot in that fight with simpson, considering simpsons wrestlin pedigree. Shoulda knocked him out too. Looked like his gas tank went a bit towards the end. Definatley look forward to seeing him fight more.

That was definitely a 10-8 round.

Could not agree more about the Simpson fight. He should have been given the decsion based on his entrance alone! I am looking forward to the fight with Credeur
