      He said in the video his first time was 1996, so doing it in 2023 actually makes it 28 years, which is even more impressive!
      (Probably forgot to include the year 2000 in his quick mental maths)

    The control Nick had on that 800Lb squat was next level. Im never getting under 800lbs, but the sheer fact we are both in our 50's gives me some drive to train harder.

    I'm 41 started working out at 14. Your body gets accustomed to whatever it's doing, sitting on a couch or training, Never stop and give age a chance to catch up, I can still do what I did in my 20's because I just have never let up. I can still work manual labor and train a couple hours in the same day, or do 5k trails and train couple hours, just never stop. Keep on keeping on Mr. Best

    Nicks one of the best strongman to ever do it and a great guy in general, WSM 2023 he was one of the only people to come out and talk to the fans, chat about whatever, really treated everyone like a friend he knew, and took pictures with everyone who asked. To be squatting 800 at 54 is absolutely insane most 54 year olds I know are out of breath from walking up stairs.

    If you're intimidated by wireless hole punchers, just isolate the uncomfortable part by sticking with smaller calibers, single shots, no transitions or excess movement, while keeping the 4 safety rules in mind. I also add in a 5th rule - if it ever leaves my hand for any reason, I do at least a press check and often even check the barrel, chamber and source of feed as well just to confirm whether it's loaded. Then make it fun. Reactive targets if the range allows it are always the best way to make it enjoyable - things that move like a Hostage Target, Texas Star, Dueling Tree, etc. Coke cans with a small caliber are especially fun. Once you've drilled in instinctive safety checks you'll become much more comfortable knowing it always takes more than 1 safety rule violation at once for anyone to get hurt.

    These guys are pushing almost 700 like it's easy and I'm just trying to get past 500 by the end of the year; sitting at 405 for reps right now.
    Currently sitting at 207lbs and want to keep around that weight even if I do body recomp.
    Edit:
    I didn't start doing well on deadlift until I started lifting in shoes that had a little bit of heel lift to them. I've always trained in 0 rise shoes and have done very well but now that I lift right after work in my work clothes and shoes, getting down to the bar is way easier. I'll have to do some research into what's out there for lifting shoes with a slight heel lift and see if that gets me where I want to be on squats easier than the 2 years of lifting that it took to get me to the 500s for final set reps in my early 20s.
