He tore his pectoral muscles, if I remember correctly.Say Nothing posted:As thread author, I think the Konstantin Konstantinovs is one of my favourite powerlifters. Here's a video of him training: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA8s17YIbSY Apparently he also works as a bodyguard.

Quoting from the powerlifting thread:gohuskies posted:I know Ali, lifted at meets with her several times. She was swimming and got ran over by a boat, and the propeller did its thing. She was an athlete beforehand and powerlifting was one of the only things she could do afterwards. Deadlift and bench are impressive enough but the squat game ridiculous.

ultrafilter posted:Quoting from the powerlifting thread: Goddamn. Note that Konstantin Konstantinovs no longer holds the deadlift world record, which is now 460kg (1015 lbs), held by Benedikt "Benni" Magnusson of Iceland:  Raw. No straps. And in the video he puts it down gently. As gently as one can put down half a loving ton of steel.

For anyone that doesn't know, putting that down the way he did is probably about as (if not more) difficult as lifting it in the first place. This dude is pretty loving

He got 1016 recently.ultrafilter posted:Zydrunas Savickas deadlift 1155 at this year's Arnold Classic: The difference between these two records is that Savickas is deadlifting in a strongman contest, which allows the use of straps. Straps allow you to hold more weight than you could with just your hands alone. Magnusson is deadlifting in a powerlifting style competition, which doesn't allow the straps. I'd really like to see what he can do with them. Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ptVrk4vo8 is Magnusson deadlifting 1100 with straps. ultrafilter has a new favorite as of 20:11 on Oct 11, 2014 |

I don't know a lot about lifting ( ), but how high is the risk of like, popping a vertibra or something similarly horrible when lifting that much weight?

I don't know the actual numbers, but the risk of injury is lower than most people think. It's definitely not zero though. On the other hand, if something does go wrong, it's probably not going to go a little bit wrong.

When done properly all the major compound lifts are very safe when done right (which can be harder and take longer to learn than many realise). In general lifting at all is pretty bad as. The fact that we hang out in a room and move heavy as gently caress things around to the point of exhaustion and eat crazy amounts of food to pack on mass for whatever end is metal, imo.

Consider the fact that from a resume of "Lift heavy things and be good at it", Arnold Schwarzenegger parlayed that into an A-list movie career spanning four decades and a stint running the world's fifth largest economy. Lifting owns is what I'm saying, lift more weights.

1stGear posted:YOU ARE WEAK LEETLE MAN I'm short as gently caress so becoming like a "real" strongman was never in the cards, so having giant monolithic men talk down to me doesn't phase me anymore. It's more like a "I know, please don't crush me." Also British powerlifters must have the best accents, especially if they're posh.

One of the swolest dudes I know is only like 5'5".

Ed Coan is 5'6" and he has a legitimate claim to being the greatest powerlifter of all time.

I meant in the sense of like having one of the biggest upper limits for weight possible. My frame may be compact but it can only hold so much muscle, y'know? It's an ugly truth that when you're smaller, no matter how swole you are, you'll get wrecked by a bigger dude with a greater reach in the vast majority of cases no matter how well trained you are. We all love David vs. Goliath but the reality is that we love it because most of the time Goliath wins by a sizable margin.

I know a crap ton of people who are short as gently caress and for that reason decided to get gorilla jacked. I'd never want to fight a short muscley guy, it'd be like throwing down with the Wolverine.

If you're on the lanky side getting in to lifting is something of a mess.

It's like y'all are wholly incapable of actually processing what I wrote. I know short guys have an advantage and I'm actually impressed to see how much that Ed Coan could lift, but that's not what I'm talking about-- I'm talking about the real upper limits of what's possible. Guys like Ed Coan may be great but they're also the exception due to the raw physics of taller-yet-still-reasonably-compact guys being able to put on more muscle fiber if both of them train equally well.

If you are a giant and manage not to get pressured in to playing basketball, that's really more bad rear end to me than being custom built for a sport. Like you could never just be a big strong fat guy and be guaranteed a football spot. You'd still have to have good hand eye coordination and great balance. But if you're tall, gently caress it, lets stick him under the basket and see what happens.
