Am I Among the Best DEADLIFTERS of all time
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- I took a deep dive into the world of deadlifts, highlighting some of the most impressive lifts in history and sharing my journey towards a new personal best. I discussed Benedikt Magnússon's 1015 LBS raw deadlift from 2011, Jerry Pritchett's raw lift on the Elephant Bar, and Danny Grigsby's controversial 502-kilogram sumo deadlift. I also explored the advantages of using different bars and straps, broke down technical aspects like core bracing and setup, and demonstrated how to use lifting straps effectively.

Lift Heavy, Be Kind!

I like that you respected Benny's lift straight away. It's as legit as it gets imo.
The coolest looking deadlifter of all time. Benni had a ritual before approaching the bar.
@@roohaa8382 he allways brought that viking war cry before the lifts
Most beastly deadlift of all time dude was an animal
IMO the greatest deadlifter to ever do it
No it's not lmao. The only legit thing here is the fact it was heavy, and he didn't use straps. That one-day Ronnie Coleman federation was shaky at best. The plates weren't calibrated, he could've been pulling 990 lbs and no one would've known. He never got CLOSE with the same setup, and only beat it when he had straps and a triple-ply suit (WDC 2016).
It's UP there SOMEWHERE in the top 20 of all-time, but just like Danny Grigsby's noodle-bar hip lift, it's not legit.
The suits and straps are definitely an advantage, but weight is weight, and Eddie and Thor SMOKES him. Even Jamal Browner is up there.
We'll also see some of the best deadlifts of all-time coming up to Brian's show, Strongest Man on Earth, where it'll only be regular straps and no suit, and Thor is coming to pull 1000lbs.
Benny Magnuson no straps, no suit....RAW POWER
Smile and controlled descent. I think he had another rep in him.
He said he wanted more weights but it wasnt possible cuz the bar was full lol
put it down like he was at planet fitness
@@user-xk7tm9lk9c I think it was 1050 or thereabouts.
No love for Andy Bolton
Konstantin Konstantinov - heaviest raw deadlift record under 140 kg class. No belt, no straps, no suit - that guy was the machine.
I always love when he slaps his gut and yells "I need a belt? This is my belt!"
Bro was named after his dad
Konstantinovs Deadlift 426kg(939lb) RAW,no belt
ua-cam.com/video/wh-ikyBAQr8/v-deo.html
I miss him, he was so badass. And to add to OP comment - he deadlifted with a seriously rounded back!
@@pectenmaximus231 rounded upper back - mainly shoulders, his lower back was very fine. A lot of people pointed out his rounded up and said he will break his spine, injure, ect. But the only injury he ever had was a hernia and that was from squating. He also had impressive bench press with close grip.
And to add to the badassery he was a body guard for Latvia's president.
Perfect balance of lifting and teaching
I appreciate it!
I love this format, it is not only super interesting to hear about all the different deadlifts, but it's also super educational and informative for people who are newer to lifting how you break down the different functions. 10/10
Benni is the goat of deadlifting (outwith strongman) I met him the same day I met prime Eddie. Benni stood and spoke for an easy 5 minutes at his booth while he was chilling, he was huge!
Its not just that beautiful deadlift, its the control putting the bar down... with that weight! Mind blown.
Eddie broke record they all laughed at him, he nearly died, weeks later he needed to be cleared by specialist
I saw him grocery shopping with his missus the basket looked TINY it's was hilarious! XD
@TheVanillatech I met him 2017, man was a UNIT! Just thicc as fuck! He was proper nice as well, just humble and chatted away, vs Mark Felix seemed a dick when spoke with him, no interest at all.
@@NeuroLifting He's from EYESHLANT! XD
@@TheVanillatech what is EYSLHANT? Never heard of that country?
Benni is definitely inspirational i'm in awe every time I watch that clip. He put it down like he was at planet fitness.
I was unable to do any progress deadlifting because my low back ended way too f-ed up the next day. Improved my core bracing with your queues and started to make progress again.
Your technique is not good and your going too heavy. No one should be lifting near max for at least a few years into it, lifting is a disciple that takes time to learn
I'm glad to hear you're making progress! 😊
I wear shin pads to remove the fear of shin contact starting out.
Helped a lot with form. My .02$
Congrats in advance as you are about to hit 250K subscribers !!! When I joined you were somewhere between 4k & 8k
i subbed at 25k what a grind
Your videos and strongman knowledge have improved a lot! Great job, and keep it up!
Perfect analysis on Eddie vs Thor conversation
You are looking more and more confident and comfortable recording these videos, really enjoying the content LHBK!
Honestly, the main reason I trust the Hafthor 501 lift is because I trust Magnus ver Magnussen. He supervised everything and is a super fair and unbiased judge, even for his countryman. If Magnus calls it a good lift and new official wr, then it's the new official wr.
I don't doubt the weight, doing it in comp vs in your own personal gym is 10x harder. That is what DQs it for me. Don't blame him either with the stupid covid.
The issue is that he didn't do it in a competition. The pressure and expectation add to the difficulty.
I count it as legit. But Eddie's also the guy who "broke the barrier".
@jakehall4493 have either of you competed before? Deadlift especially... you lift wayyyy better in front of a big crowd vs a couple of people... the crowd drives you, it feels like you are absorbing the energy in the crowd.
I'm sure deadlifting in front of 10,000 people helped Eddie also, drove his adrenaline like crazy not to fail with thousands watching!
Thor has a ton of experience in front of a crowd, and has always gotten a lot out of it, so anyone saying doing it in a comp is harder is wrong (aside from the higher possibility of getting sick or something during travel going wrong).
Wow! I used to hate doing Deadlifts, but have grown to love them over the years. Have watched 100's of videos on them. Clicked on this video just because i love the subject, wasn't expecting to learn anything... but I did 😊 Thank you 👍 And yeah, everyone mentions Eddie and Thor, glad you gave some love to Benedict and Jerry. Love them and J.F. and Rauno as well.
Thanks for being here, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You really make genuinely entertaining videos. Keep it up!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Saw you at the Albert Hall on the weekend. Despite being a proud scotsman i couldn't help but cheer for you. Class act
you're such a good ambassador to strongman Mitchell, keep it up man
World record, my friend you inspire me so much! Congratulations sir!!
This was a perfect video on deadlifting you covered alot and compared lifters in a timely fashion and watching you fail at the end makes this video feel authentic! I'm working on my deadlift and have hit a weight I can't break but I know goal will be achieved some day!
You'll get there as you continue to work on it. I do have a deadlift program on my website that can help you. moosecoaching.com/pages/deadlift-peak All the best with your training!
I really appreciate your attitude and of course your incredible strength.
loved this vid, definetly the sweet spot with talking and lifting
Great attempt on that 440. I know your not a fan of rolling the bar to yourself then lifting, so I was surprised to see you do it. If you hadn't mentioned it was a mistake, I would have thought you changed your mind on rolling.
0:30 actually it was exactly what i was thinking, I think among anyone who knows anything more than just watching Eddie on youtube benedikt's lift is mentioned more as the most impressive
Danny did 487.5 kg If not mistaken, there was a (forgive me if I am wrong) Polish guy that used straps to pull 502.5 kg
Sumo 🙄
@@Noah-hq5rsyour saying that like it isn't the atwr for the raw deadlift
@@TheLegMan1it isn't. It's the highest noodle-bar hip lift, not conventional deadlift. Technically, if we're gonna include all forms of "dead" lifting, the actual record is 1,278 lbs by Rauno Heinla, a 580 kg Silver Dollar partial deadlift. So yeah, Rauno is a mile ahead of Grigsby.
@@Noah-hq5rs He did also tradicional 440kg..... and weights 100kg less.
@@TheLegMan1 Absolutely. The lift is a joke.
pretty convenient I JUST got my lifting straps in the mail and Mitchell posts a video with a tutorial on different ways to use them
Magnusson's lift doesn't get old, that just blows my mind every time I see it. But Jesus, Grigsby is genetically engineered to pull, the bar locks out ridiculously low. As someone with the classic disadvantaged "all torso and no limbs" physique, I am jealous.
Absolutely love the lift heavy, be kind mantra
Mine is life weak and be mean, you a hole
Some great videos coming from you hooper hope to see you attempt the record deadlift
Keep growing. Excited to see what you can do within 10 years of dedicating yourself to the sport. You are the most successfull 4 year strength sport athlete of all time currently
I appreciate you 😊
Love the new educational videos! 💪💪💪
Have you been able to watch any of the member-only educational content I've been posting?
@@mitchellhooperstrongman pretty sure I have seen everything you have posted! 😁
@@mitchellhooperstrongman I would love to see your method for knee wrapping. Still trying to find the wrap method that works best for me.
Thank you Mitch, learned a lot from that one.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You’re wrong, I did guess it was benni’s pull! 😂 an incredible lift
Also good shout for Jerry Pritchett, he was STRONG
Benedikt Magnússon needs to be in the thumbnail.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
What are your thoughts on Jón Páll Sigmarsson's deadlift on pure strength of 1,153 lb, with a rectangular bar?
Very cool and informative deadlift video! What are your tips for people with long legs ? I really struggle getting the weight up.
Absolutely Thor's lift was legit. Agreed Mitch. The plates were calibrated, weighed, everything checked by the top strongman referee in history Magnus Ver Magnusson who also refereed the lift. Not that it matters but Thor's warmup lifts were timed according to standard strongman event schedules, which makes sense also because that's what he's used to. The fatigue considerations of an actual competition that make it more challenging are irrelevant, one does not have to lift a world record in competition, others can do it in their home gym if they want, provided they get an official(s) to check everything, but noone has because they can't.
Also Thor is renowned for thriving off crowd energy, a big competition crowd actually aids him, so although he had friends and family cheering him on, it's different to a huge crowd cheering.
Bottom line, a lift is a lift (unless it's sumo..jk).
Great vid
One thing that doesn't get said enough about the whole 500 vs 501 thing. Thor did it in a single ply suit, Eddie in a multi ply suit, big difference. The 5 most impressive deadlifts ever imo 1. Benni's raw pull 2. Thor's 501 3. Thor's elephant bar record (474 kg, no suit, tougher bar) 4. Eddie's 500 5. Jerry's elephant bar pull (467 kg, also no suit and tougher bar ofc). All incredibly impressive lifts and hate to see so much negativity surrounding the two heaviest ones.
As always, there's plenty of good advice in this video. At 8:25 though, Moose shares information which had never crossed my mind. 😲 Now we can see why Mitch is already a strength-athlete legend, despite only taking up the sport a few weeks ago.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow this is exeptionally made video
Can’t count Griggs with sumo
I have deadlift amnesia. I forget my form every time I approach the bar
🏆🎉 Congratulations on your WSM #1 Winner 💪🇺🇸
I have seen Benny's deadlift and agree,also Andy Bolton back in the day was impressive.Q) what do elite lifters such as yourself pull without straps?
Best thing is it’s exactly my own thought for best of all time.
The maddest thing about magnusson`s lift is that he puts it down gently.
Benny and Konstantin still the real deadlift kings.
Im so glad you mention benny magnusson. The best lift
Thanks. Now I know how to use straps correctly
The super wide sumo, noodle bar lifts are crazy and incredibly impressive, but Benni, Thor, Eddie, and Jerry are quite a ways ahead for me. And this is coming from a guy who mainly sumo deadlifts. Granted my feet are 8" from the collars, not .08", but yknow.
No jamal browner? He deserves a video on his own!
type 4 diabetes 🤣 I was like wait....was I unaware there was a type 3?? Great video.
Modesty: the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Mitch✌🏽😎
Eddie Conan’s 901# DL in a single ply suit and belt in my opinion might also be included in the “best deadlift” category….and he was just as good in the squat too
Eddie Coan
You got this and awesome content. I’m trying to get to my next milestone which is 700 lb @ 225 LB body weight.
Moose, I'd love to see what weight you can do DOUBLE OVERHAND! NO STRAPS!!
Raw (no belt or straps) I can pull 315lbs at two reps. Then fatigue hits my grip. Grip is my Achilles heel for sure. Still trying to master how to properly use the straps. Thanks for these tips!
Do you use alternate grip? I would always use straps before alternating but if you wanna avoid straps alternate grip definitely helps.
I hope I get to see you sunday in amsterdam!
Make sure you stop by the meet & greet!
0:35 that is what everybody that actually trains was thinking. The GOAT of goated lifts
Veli Kumpuniemi was awesome deadlifter. 82,4kg bodyweight and 357,5kg deadlift.
I'm a heavy (and out of shape) guy and have a hard time deadlifting mainly because I have trouble reaching the bar on the ground without round my lower back. I've been doing Rack Pulls as low as I can right now. I notice a lot of strongmen roll the bar back towards them right before pulling. Does this make it easier to grab the bar and get it into position as a larger individual or do I just need to get better with my hip mobility?
The weights in Grigsbys lift are like 3 inches off the floor. His complete ROM is like 6 inches. The heavier the weight gets on those bars with a ton of bend to them allow you to just lift the weights an inch off the floor and get the record.
loved you showing a failed attempt
Agreed. Interesting that people call him arrogant. An arrogant person would most likely cut that.
Great stuff, as always.
What about Andy Bolton with the first 1000lbs deadlift?
He did that on a suit. What about konstantnovs 939 no belt
Thor floated the supposed 501 up but he'd have made his mark if he had gone for 510. Similar say with Eddies record axle press, he could have gone 20-30 lbs heavier if he'd used leg drive. Eddie's destroying of the existing deadlift record is still the most iconic of all time given the build up, the brute strength and the blood. I am English though so probably a little biased.
cya in Vegas! 💪
Hafthor, rauno, Eddie, makarov, Caron, Shaw, Pritchett, benni, have all either pulled more equipped or have pulled 460+ raw
Bobby Thompson also pulled a yolo 465 in a suit but “forgot” his belt
Congratulations on the World Record
Commenting while waiting on the stones. You said a criticism you get is that you're arrogant. There's a point when you're that good it's just disingenuous to be overly humble. As Jaco Pastorius said. It's not bragging if you can back it up. And you back it up time and time again. And that's from a huge Stoltman fan.
Respect!
TOP 10 Strongman deadlifter of all time:
Is just an opinion, i will base it on overall perfomances though, from 1 to 10. Question is, will Mitch get in? will he beat his country man JF Caron?.
Number 1. Hafthor Bjornsson: At this point is just a formalitie, he helds the All time world record at 501KG and the Elephant Bar Deadlift record at 474KG, both of wich he broke with realative ease. Also helds a couple of deadlift for reps records like the 350KG and one on the axl (forgott the weight). Has also done 8 official 1k pounds pulls and many more in training including a 480KG elephant deadlift.
Number 2: Eddie "The Beast" Hall: Can´t say deadlift without Edduard, former AT record been the first man to deadlift 500KG, former EBD with a 465KG, still holds the WSM record at the long bar with 472.5KG (EQuipped) and the Drum Roll D with Shaw at 445KG, and did 6 official 1k pound deadlifts.
Number 3. Benedikt Magnusson: Powerlifting Raw record holder in a whole comp with a 445KG pull and all time raw record holder with his 460KG pull, former AT record holder with 465KG, overall 3 1k official pulls. I´m mixing here his PL cause that 460 is a thing of beauty and is arguably more impressive that both 500Kg pulls, BUT, can´t deny Thor adn Edduard passed him in strongman deadlif disciplines.
Number 4. Jerry Pritchett: The dark horse of deadlift. Bro still holds the raw strongman record at 465KG, former EB record holder with a 467KG deadlift wich was also the formr american DL record ( now beaten by Savatinov but semi sumo and with a suit), former Hummer tire deadlift record holder with JF caron (who 5 minutes after beated him), has done 4 official 1k pounds pulls. Never pulled equipped.
Number 5: Brian Shaw: Big boy Shaw did 4 official 1k Pulls, all done Raw, holds the drumroll dl record at 445KG allong Edduard and also the only man to beat him at deadlift events while Eddie was the king and one of few to challengue Thor when he became king.
Number 6: Jean Francois Caron: JF is the fomer hummer tire record holder at a massive 540+KG deadlift, helds the Canadian Raw record with his elephant pull of 463KG, altough has only one official 1k pull the fact he did it Raw and is one of the others to never get in a suit puts him high above the rest.
Number 7. Ivan Makarov: Comp PB of 483KG deadlift but what brings him here is the amount of times he has pulled 1k pounds, the number is absurd if you take his training lifts. He is brought down due to not having comparable raw numbers and his reliance on a suit.
Number 8: Rauno Heinla: Current masters deadlift record holder at 476KG deadlift, has 3 1k pulls, also helds the silver dollar deadlift record at 580KG.
Number 9: Andy Bolton: Though he did it at powerlifting rules, is always worht mentioning he was the first 1k puller and did it twice.
Number 10. Pehiman Mahareipouhir: Comp PB of 485KG done this 2024, has done 2 1k pulls, all in suit.
Number 11. Mitchell Hooper: Relentless deadlifter, helds the canadian record at 475KG and has 2 official 1K pulls including another done a 2022.
0:45 Thor has himself said it & he might be the only one who can break it
Hello from Ukraine. Thank you for the positive content! Why is it Team Moose and not Team Walrus? Walruses have mustaches like yours, and they are strong as hell (same as you).
Mitch is the bar whisperer.
Hell yeah!
I see new vid, i click. ❤
I agree, Benni's 1,015 Raw is still the best, and it looked like he had more in the tank that day.
Can you explain the difference between bracing out vs bracing in while deadlifting?
Ex. My physical therapist has told me to flex my abs and suck my stomach in to provide support while deadlifting. They said that using a belt and bracing "out" to the belt is more dangerous for your back.
Best of luck Mitch
Thank you!!
Thank you!! When I saw the thumbnail I was thinking how Benny needs to be part of the conversation too. He's a legend in the sport but sadly not very recognized by the mainstream. Kind of an unsung hero. 🫡
Jerry Pritchett is an incredibly nice person, met him once at a grocery store. Got to say hi and get a picture.
Benny's DL is still the most legit lift of all time absolutely
From iraq i wish u the best
Bennys is in my opinion the most real record. If you can’t hold the weight you shouldn’t lift the weight. Amazed Mitch are using straps when he needs to train grip
He also needs to train max deadlift with straps, as it's in the upcoming competition.
Agreed 10000 with Bennys deadlift
Jerry also did his deadlifts raw at almost every comp. I believe (I could be wrong) that the 465kg he did the year Eddie pulled 500 was raw.
The first one, he didn't even drop the bar. He set it down gently.
Is it like strapping down something on your truck or trailer? If so, the key is saying "that's not going anywhere"
One day we'll all be dead lifters
😂
Have you seen Krzysztof Wierzbicki 502,5 kg sumo deadlift? It's especially impressive, since he weights only around 100 kg.
I think, that because of the way the "competition" was held around Eddie's lift, that was no more true competition than Thor's lift. In my opinion, 501 kg by Thor is the true record. Sanctioned as well.
But all that is history - in the next year we should see 505 kg or even 510 kg go up, raw.
Train hard, stay safe 👍
The most impressive thing about Thor's 501 is that when Eddie did 500 it almost killed him Thor did 501 just to piss Eddie and his fanboys off (which it did) he had more in the tank maybe could have done 505-510 by the way it went up, I wish all the guys that get on Thor's case would just realize what an amount of weight that man is able to move and just walk away like it was another day
It'd be serious BDE to break the raw record at SMOE, then the equipped in Vegas. Realistically it's smarter to just do what you need to to play the points game, but it'd be bad ass to go for the records too
I want to see you push Thor at smoe!
Not mentioning Jamal Browner in this video is a mistake, with straps/sumo he pulled 500kg at sub 300lbs bw and in my opinion it was more impressive than dans deadlift
I agree. His sumo is also acceptable like Ed Coan's style. Like a frog stance. Jamal is ACTUALLY stupid strong and can conventional world-class level weights, regardless of size.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 yep, he almost pulled 1000lbs conventional in comp with no suit on, being like 270 bw or so, insane lbs for lbs strength
Had a good dead lift session today, lifted 5 kilos more than I thought at the final two sets :) Happy though and with a good feeling. 440kilos is 2x my dead lift today 😁 although I am 100% natty and body weight of 85 kg Also for me its just a fun hobby.
I forget that you're Canadian until I hear you say things like "been" and "lever"
I dont think there is any argument to your statement. One of the best deadlifters and just one of the best to have ever done strongman.
When Thor pulled the record for the elepant bar he had a lot left in the tank, this there can´t be any doubt about. He made the lift at the Arnolds and the DL was the first event at that Arnolds so Thor just did enough to get the record and win.
By the way, there is a wide consencius among strongmen that in 2018/2019 Thor was the strongest human ever, mabye this is correct?
Dan Grigsby, Was done in a full meet, double overhand grip with no straps and over 100lbs lighter than these dudes. Giving big props to Benni also.
