Funniest thing I've read all day

That deadlift was dangerous and far too heavy. I’d be more impressed with with a 135 pound deadlift with perfect form. He looked better as a lean runner if you ask me.

You guys were not wrong about the deadlift form. If he continues lifting like that he will get badly hurt.

Is he still a jesus freak? not a fan

I'm glad for him that he was able to walk away from that deadlift, but he's unknowingly playing with fire. If someone here knows him, it may behoove them to contact him with a well-worded suggestion.

Impressive physique and a 2.75x bodyweight dead is legit. However, dude needs to learn to pull sumo to save his back or get a coach if he’s going to keep pulling conventional.

Injuries are associated with inappropriate volume and intensity levels, not a specific form. If one goes for a PR and sees some "loss" of form, but their programming is appropriate for their training history, they'll likely be fine.

All of us runners see a very wide variety in running mechanics, and guess what - it doesn't correlate with injury happenstance. It's again, closely related to training load.

Sumo vs. conventional isn't going to have any impact on ones chance of a back injury.

No need. The IG comments on that video are all over it.

Sure, chief

“The sumo deadlift style resulted in a 10% reduction in the joint moment and 8% reduction in the load shear force at the L4/L5 level when compared with the conventional lifting style”

cool. what's his cycle?

He looks natural to me. That's cool that he's into lifting heavy now. I think he should do 60meter dash training and see how fast he can get his 60 time down to.

This...I pray for his back...and before anyone says anything I pulled 500 my jr year in college at around 185 lbs. I had anything but a runners physique.

I’d probably be lucky to do 315 now at 150 as I haven’t lifted a weight in like 6 months

500 at 185 is really good.

Yeah it was my best of the big 3 lifts for sure. I went ham for about a year 165 to 205 lbs in 6 months back down to 175 in another 4.

Ate like 6k calories a day to add those 40lbs and cut with basically no cardio some hiit but nothing extensive. Couldn’t do much only eating 2k while cutting.

Wasn’t sustainable and it was too much weight on my frame.

I’ve listened to Ryan and Lances podcast. He clearly seems happy...but he isn’t “shredded” the amount of dedication it takes to get around 4-5% bf is insane and also not healthy to do for extended periods of time.

I didn't realize the point of exercises was to reduce joint movement? Or avoid "load shear forces".

No exercise is inherently more or less dangerous than another.. the main focus should be appropriate volumes and intensity for the specific athlete. If you want to sumo, great! I'm glad you're training and doing something. But don't act like anything is "safer" than it's cousin.

On another random but ironic note, injury rates for weightlifters and powerlifters are much lower than for runners! I don't think I would have guessed that while I was 100% focused on running

Can anyone translate what he said during and after the deadlift? Is that a devout Christian version of swearing?

Except that lift what NOT LEGIT. He got the weight up, ok fine, but he pulled it so badly he is SERIOUSLY risking hurting himself. The roll up, the rounded back that would make rainbows jealous, and OMG when he stalls at the end and lifts COMPLETELY with his back instead of his hips. Dude needs to stop ego lifting, to drop the weight down, and learn how to do it properly.

I would give him more credit if he was more forthcoming on his medical "supplementation".

Also, every time he refers to himself as a "2:04 marathoner" he looks a bit of a tool to those familiar with that race.

Yeah, it's a huge cringe when he says that. Come on bro, you're not a 2:04 guy
