Спасибо за информацию 👍, а то я уже подумал что это пиздёж, у нас в России есть мошенник старый, раньше он был классным циркачом-силачом, но потом решил перейти на сторону зла и делать фейки, его имя Валентин Дикуль 💪🏻
Legend has it Mike Burch is still pulling 700, almost ten years later. When he gets too old to do it, all the formerly poor kids will come do it for him. Rock on.
As a 32 year old who has been lifting for 12 years, this is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen and gives me hope. No straps, 65 years old and only 165 pounds. Just absolutely insane. What a legend!
@@dukekidukelooks like he's using chalk and a belt. Too quick to put straps as he just rips the bar up as soon as he grabs it. Can't see anything hanging from his wrists either
Dude looks like a mix between a hells angels and a level 90 wizard. And then he just easily pulls 700 for "all the poor kids in the world". What a lad, hope he's still out there
Everything about this is fantastic. The background. The presentation. Getting straight to the point. The greeting and info, name and age, the amazing lift form, and the genuine thanks. LEGENDARY.
I was a poor kid just a few minutes ago, but after watching this lift, I’ve aged gracefully into a distinguished middle-ager with a robust retirement portfolio, a diverse range of stock options, and a charming summer villa in the Hamptons. I even developed a taste for fine wine and golf. Cheers, Mr. Burch, for the miraculous transformation!
He is 65 years old during this lift. He set records in the 500’s in his 70’s. It actually makes sense because we really start to decline in our 70’s but can retain a lot of strength in our 60’s.
@@PhilGad It's not just about strength. It's about energy levels, recovery time, joint pain, testosterone, drive ect.. I don't know when you started lifting. If you started late in life or never pushed it until now, you never really reached your peak. You might be the strongest now but could have been way stronger in your 30s. I started lifting at 15. My peak was 26-38.
@@WeTryMotorsports There's a reason athletes are superstars in their 20s and 30s. By 40 your body just isn't the same. If you never pushed it in your early years you'll never know.
Mike Burch of Boston Corners has been testing his strength by lifting weights since he was six years old. That was back in 1956. Now 67 years later he continues to compete for powerlifting medals. On November 4th he deadlifted 505 pounds to earn a world record in the American Powerlifting Association for his weight and age.
This guys home and clothing, paired with his old age and his lift that seems far beyond his reach, make for an unintentionally very surreal video! Love it.
hes in the st paul cemetery. i believe someone said he was buried between a pedophile and a.........woman! but i didnt go dig him up to see if it was really him or not.
@@personeater747 well lifting it of one side is only half of it, lifting it of the other side than the engine is even less but yeah still more than 700
Everthing about this awesome! Zeppelin playing, the long beard, the jeans, the flag, the dedication to poor kids, and the absolute maximum effort lift. I love it and I salute you good sir! 🫡
That’s because your form probably sucks. Straight back, chest up, lift with your lower half. Lifting with your big strong arms and back is gonna get you hurt buddy.
