im not sure if a lot of people understand the grip strength involved in this but hes cleaning with double overhand the entire tire which is very impressive
That's incredible. Just unreal. I'm sitting at my computer drinking a beer, and I'm exhausted just watching this. Unreal man. Just an unreal job Derek.
I actually met Derek Poundstone today, this video does not do him justice, he is clearly a force not to reckon with, he is a real nice and he will take home WSM 09 for shure.
@LySeRgIa2 yep i had the same problem with overhead press when i began lifting but i found doing hyperextensions [3 sets of 20] before each of my press\squat\ deadlift training days fixed this tremendously.
@LySeRgIa2 Your best bet is to probably do some deadlifts or whatever back exercises just to strengthen it. I'm not a big guy either but when I shoulder press larger weights I feel that the weak link in my chain is also my lower back, so it definitely plays a solid part (and the back tends to play a strong part in most lifts).
@LySeRgIa2 you're probably getting a lot of spinal compression, try to keep your core tight and do more core and lower back work......that would be my guess
can you fathom his 1rm if he was as kitted out as the best PL's in the world? He wouldnt be number 1 individually but overall he woulod be there or there abouts. The guys a legit. freak of nature that you will rarely see in a lifetime
these american gyms are so good in australia i got a alright gym but it has only about 150kg in weights it really isnt much considering im 16 and do 100kg chest press by the tim im 20-23 ill be doing all the weight and have no more
not in boxing, because that sport is the art of punching. takes years to master. in a street fight, where wrestling on the ground is the end result, a strong man will break the majority in half with little effort. not to mention their strength will allow them to pick anyone up and have complete control. distance and speed is key vs. these guys.
@critietaeta We all start somewhere. Maybe he is warming up? Maybe he has an injured back and is starting low? There are a million reasons he may be doing that.
no derek is a strongman not an olmpic lifter. i mean the guy is a beast and ive been folowing him for awhile but i dont think he would be good at competing at an olympic level for clean jerk and snatch. he has the form of a strongman not a Olympic lifter

when Derek is at the gym, no one else is working out
That's incredible. Just unreal. I'm sitting at my computer drinking a beer, and I'm exhausted just watching this. Unreal man. Just an unreal job Derek.
strongest shoulders in strongman. every time i see this dude press it just looks effortless
One word: AWESOME!!!!
He has got to train at the coolest gym in CT. All that equipment. All the support.
for most humans this is a max effort lift. somehow poundstone makes this look like a conditioning lift.
keep the videos coming man you're a great inspiration
WSM09 is gonna the best ever this year. It'll be like a rematch of Fortissimus09 just 3 months after.

I was amazed by the same thing bro,,, he cleans that like butter. WSM 09 USA!!!

lol the guys in the background are like. "and i thought i was strong".
could a man like Derek compete at a olympic level of weightlifting?
for most humans CAPABLE of it, this is a ME lift, not a conditioning tool. shouldve specified :]
Nice work.
the life of a professional strongman...
There goes my deadlift ):
Is Zydrunas competing in WSM 09?
I wish my hands were as big as Derek's! He makes the axle look like a barbell.
@LySeRgIa2 you're probably getting a lot of spinal compression, try to keep your core tight and do more core and lower back work......that would be my guess
I'd feel very motivated if he were at my gym
Lol thw whole gym is watching him!
ha i love the guy deadlifting 135 in the back i would be to ashamed
Damn...thats a big garage.
He just muscle cleaned 300lb! How is this humanly possible??
wtf 12 reps holy shit this is workin out till failure fukin crazy im gonna keep this in mind when i lift
2 ppl that watched this vid "workout" at Planet Weakness...
Dammit I was happy that I cleaned 245 today ;(
@LySeRgIa2 Stretch your back before you do any pressing in the future. This will warm your muscles and go some way to prevent any pulls.
Im pretty sure he tested positive for Flintstones vitamins once or twice.
And then there's the guy in the background deadlifting 135lbs....
Sheesh - That looked like a warm-up!!! :-)
dude is a monster
can you fathom his 1rm if he was as kitted out as the best PL's in the world? He wouldnt be number 1 individually but overall he woulod be there or there abouts. The guys a legit. freak of nature that you will rarely see in a lifetime
i licked how EASY it looked everytime he threw it up! haha wow nice
Has he been somewhere really sunny?
does he use regular tennis shoes?
This a BIG Derek
freaking beast.
these american gyms are so good in australia i got a alright gym but it has only about 150kg in weights it really isnt much considering im 16 and do 100kg chest press by the tim im 20-23 ill be doing all the weight and have no more
this guy is just Freaking awesome!
i get tired just watcbing this
hey Knelly, can you tell me what preventive exercises for wrist joint does derek do ... thanks !
WHAT THE FUCK! And how THICK is that barbell as well?! This guy should snap John Cena in 2 and I'd be happy :D
i bet people have to pay more to go this gym, just because derek poundstone goes. lol
Haha I don't even consider that a clean..That's more like..just playing with it haha. It's amazing

Respect...
@critietaeta We all start somewhere. Maybe he is warming up? Maybe he has an injured back and is starting low? There are a million reasons he may be doing that.
lol seriously if i was the guy behind him i'd go home after that
@amoo2007 couldn't agree more!!!
Crazy!!!!!!
MY God thats Power!!!!
I wish I could overhead press 300lbs for just 1 rep on a barbell... 5*
@InferiorThanYou I would stop my training to see someone lifting 300 fuckin' libs for a lot of reps overhead lol
jesus, to be able to "clean" over 300 so easily...
and lol at the guy doing 135# DLs in the background
wow! I would be running around town if I Could press that for 1!!
i agree, savickas is stronger but derek is a better athlete (in better shape)
i like thicker bars
0:10 it's flying
@linemen77 Maybe second strongest... I think Savickas is the strongest =)
@critietaeta haha he waited until she wasn't at angle that recorded him to start doing the deadlifts hahaha
Feels good when u C&J 300 pounds for reps when the kid on the side deadlifts half the weight.
makes those weights look like paper weights lol
@Quigss92 that's... what i weigh...
keep it injuire free derek~
@amoo2007 me too
no derek is a strongman not an olmpic lifter. i mean the guy is a beast and ive been folowing him for awhile but i dont think he would be good at competing at an olympic level for clean jerk and snatch. he has the form of a strongman not a Olympic lifter
easy peasy
that would hurt if he dropped that on his foot
he doesnt know the meaning of the word " stop".
he is tossing them around and makes it look easy, which is is not
he ses try that!
Easy breezy I am surprise lbstone didnt viper press it
BAMF
@KaneWrestlingFan999 There goes my dumble ):
Looks like a joke to ya poundstone! Where did you get all that strength!
