Hey boys! Long time no see.

This year's Arnold Classic Strongman has been hyped up to the max. We've got several dudes able to deadlift over 1000 lbs and who will be going for a max deadlift.

Rogue Fitness has also built this new implement based on the Wheel of Pain in the Conan movie:

that thing is bad ass looking.. I can't wait to see how rough they load it lol..

The dude at the end was struggle bussing to push it 15 feet.

Such a good event, loved it.

Thor’s got a ways to go from 501.. Was a huge jump, but after solidifying 1st I get it

I dunno about a ways to go. It's not like the bar didn't go up. He got it to his knees pretty fast and couldn't go through the lockout. Or maybe he didn't want to grind through the lockout after seeing 3 guys get injured and knowing he still had a whole competition to go.

People saying the elephant bar deadlift is easier clearly have never used one. Getting the weight off the ground is easier, but getting it up to a lockout isn't. The moving weights throw you WAY off balance and you get pulled forward really hard.

Didn’t he go from 475 to 501?

Either way, it was a hell of an attempt.. And I give him credit for budging the joker. I’ve never pulled on an elephant bar, but it’s the same idea on a deadlift bar.

cmon brudda, thats like saying the deadlift bar is harder because it whips and wobbles at the top

Agreed that 501 is not out of reach at all, onyl 25 kg from what he did and went up fine

The elephant bar deadlift isn't harder or easier than a normal bar deadlift, it's different. To a certain extent, it's more dangerous because of the wobbling. It requires specific training.

3-4 guys got injured in the competition from that deadlift.
