@CALEB EPPLEY yeha the pices really fell into place for me after seeing him saying you shouldn't deadlift and then him saying he was doing deadlifts for 2months and tried to lift a car
He said he dead lifted for 2 months only before trying to deadlift a car. He also said if you're not a pro, you shouldn't be max deadlifting. Listen before u question
@CALEB EPPLEY clearly he wasnt, I didnt say he was. Hitting max deadlift weight is destroying bodies. It's all over the internet and youtube. I should know this, I'm a massage therapist and wellness coach. Fact is there are safer movements out there to hit the same region. Max deadlifts are for pros not average gym bros. The risk to reward ratio is too low
@CALEB EPPLEY I can name world class athletes who tore biceps, herniated discs etc from deadlifting. It's actually quite naive to think you cant get injured from a movement even if your form is perfect. Shows how young you are. Plus you're right, I am weak. I stick to 495lbs 5x3. No need to impress anyone. Fitness is a personal journey
My cousin f!$ked up his knee playing hockey from elementary school through college. At least half the time he sneezed, his kneecap would just move out of place. Happened more than once while we were out drinking. Alex R.I.P. 1968-2010
His wiki says he is 6'8" 380. So yeah hes pretty fucking enormous. My brother is 6'3"ish and 300 and hes just huge. Cant even imagine how big this Robert guy is in person.
For anyone who doesn’t know about wsm Oberst’s highest finish is 8th... just think about how good the other guys are. I doubt he will ever win it tbh but the guy is a monster
@@themike97_58 oberst isn't the most reliable source tbh. Deadlift is a great exercise, but obviously if you're going for a world record injuries can happen
Deadlifts aren't worth it at all in the long run imo. I used to deadlift all the time. Then I herniated 3 discs in my back and am 6 weeks out of surgery. It's been almost a year since I got to do anything besides twiddle my thumbs and play video games. That being said, yeah my form was probably a little off, but no ones form is perfect when theyre going for a 1-2 rm. And thats when injuries happen
@@nicolaperin3817 the amount of weight isn't what's important. It's the amount of weight the lifter can handle. Me maxing out my deadlift is just as dangerous as Robert Oberst even if he can lift a lot more than me.
I almost tore my achilles while listening to this guy back injury. I've had people close to me who were incredibly strong with back injuries, and they never heal, they're my biggest fear as injuries go
my legs have been "numb" for 5 years. feels more like they are asleep mixed with frost bite. its a terrible feeling. wouldnt wish my back problems on the devil.
@@antivegan5881 i wish. i use to sled over 1k lbs in high school. it happened about a mnth or so before my 35th bday. woke up to go to work, leg started acting funny. went to the local ER like 5 or 6 times between both legs going numb and me pissing my self. took a local clinic Dr to steal my medical records and call me at home, told me to go to the other, better ER asap or i could roll over and be paralyzed. still have no 100% answer as to what happened. i ended up with a bruised spinal cord, 4 rods 16 screws 2 fake disc and 9 fused/decompressed vertebra. 5 years later im still no better off than i was before it all happened. shit ruined my life.
I feel bad for guys like this. As strong as the muscles are, the ligaments and tendons arent increasing in strength. Nobodies knees are meant to carry 440lbs, whether its fat or solid muscle. No heart is made to oxygenate 440lbs of tissue. I hope that when he retires hes able to drop 100. Hes still going to be a giant compared to most of society.
Misty as soon as he decides to be healthy, his body will change ridiculously quick, first of all because his body knows it needs to drop weight, and second he has so so so much muscle, and muscle does what? It improves your metabolism, it becomes faster, and considering this guys intense workouts, and work ethic. It will be a walk in the park, I'm sure he loves his food though, but at his weight, he could cut on 7 - 8k calories.
Your body has a great thing called adaptability people swim, sprint, climb, bodybuild, power lift, do futbol, football and so on your body can do crazy things
@@mjwbulich your right he is but saying your body isn't capable or built for evolution is crazy, before anyone takes me out of context I'm a elaborate on why I said evolve, your body can be put into so many diffirent scenarios and adapt to them your body evolves over time to be able to perform the actions that it has been placed to do, unfortunately strong man competitions do take a toll but are doable
Try training with a hurt knee. Feels like you're only using one side of your entire body. I can't believe Derrick Rose can still dunk. Dude busted everything in both knees.
Neural Tech don't listen to that shit lol I think Robert has a lying problem. Does this make sense to you? Every other strongman starts out usually with a 315-405 deadlift, and they build it up over their life to 900-1000 lbs. Robert starts out with a 800lb deadlift and a nearly 400lb overhead press with no training before hand? Alright lol. And yet that's him before training yet his lifts are almost still those same numbers
Colton Krum did you not even listen? You're calling me a dumbass yet his words are "I had only started deadlifting 2 months before, I had never really deadlifted before"
@@PlutoTheGod well deadlifts are a lower body exercise and so if you are already strong on the squat you can start out deadlifting more especially when you have the size he has, do you really think a 400lb 6’7” dude is gonna start with 405. Gaining size and doing other exercises can increase deadlifts too. For reference my max deadlift fully fresh was once 355 and I hadn’t deadlifted for a year so you’d think I would have got much weaker, however my size increased and I got much stronger on exercises like rows and squats. One day I decided to do a deadlift at the end of a training session because my friend was doing them also so I decided to mess around and I managed to do 405. If it can work like that for me then for someone as strong as Oberst it will work on a much larger scale
I pinched my sciatic nerves snowboarding and the pain was unbearable and immediately couldn't walk. He finished the competition and kept training. I'm speechless.
Had an uncle that slipped and fell on the concrete carrying half a semi frozen beef. Got up took 2 fingers of copenhagen and finished his shift. 30 years late had an xray. He had broken his back and continued on with life.
Tom H just to be clear. I love America, and I'm no where close to being wealthy. I have a co-pay of $3k every year on my health insurance. After paying the $3k for my MRI my insurance then covered 85% of the following back surgery I had, and whatever else happens for the rest of the year. I don't expect/look for the govt to take care of me/my family. All I'm saying is if I didn't have insurance I would've put off the MRI until I could afford it
Tom H You are already pitching in with your taxes first off. Second, you name me one company ran by the govt that is all about customer service. You take away the private sector in healthcare, you take away incentive. If every hospital gets paid the same for everything by the govt, why would they take any steps towards bettering the customer experience, research/development, etc? You'll end up waiting 10 months for a surgery (like the gentleman from Canada just commented about) instead of me waiting a week and a half for my MRI, then another 2 weeks for my surgery
Tom H I'm not trying to shit on you or tell you you're wrong. You probably make a lot more money than I do, pay way more taxes, and it's cool you want to help people out. We just differ in the way we would go about it
I think a torn bicep is something I'm glad I wish never had happen to me. I keep hearing stories about it's pain and what you have to go through to recover. It's too much.
I hurt my back while squatting and lost the ability to lift my left leg off the ground. Went to the doctor, had xrays, MRI's, everything. They come back and said they can't find anything wrong. Whatever happened fixed itself after a few months but I still have pain in that side of my lower back.
Relatable. Was olympic lifting and trying to get to nationals. Was 180lbs 0r 83kg Being trained by an Olympic competitor and national professional. Was doing sets of cleans at 3 reps. 3rd set second rep... pop... couldn’t breathe, hurt to move, got my spine decompressed by the coach went home, couldn’t walk or move for 3 days, 4th day got up started slow and started working out again. About 2 months later i tweaked it and went to the orthopedist, said it was muscular nothing to worry about. Kept training for two more years with non stop back pain and clicking. Finally went to the doctor demanded and MRI, got one and turns out I had two herniated discs, one bulged disc and a cyst that formed on the thoracic part of the spine. That orthopedist said its fine don’t worry about it will heal. Went to one of the best orthopedic spine surgeons to get a cortisone shot in the vertebrae, and he told me what the other doctor said was BS. He said he was surprised I never hurt myself worse than what happened and surprised they healed while still doing heavy lifting. Crazy ride it has been.
I’m curious the attachments he used to “remove” scar tissue??? I’ve had so many injuries. My back, ankles, knees, and a rhomboid that never seems to heal. I have a dewalt skill saw. Please enlighten me. I can’t rehab in hospital. I’m a self employed stone mason.

Joe Max Fpv it's not a circular saw, it's like a jig saw. I think they have attachments for actual jig saws to be used for deep tissue massage. This breaks up the scar tissue.
I did strongman for 3 years, in those three years I managed to get a calf DVT and damaged my lower back, and neck. Few years later I still have back pain, I suffer from migraines and can't afford further doctor appointments. All they fed me was pain killers and blood thinners for months.
Hey Joe, you should try and get Ken Hill on your podcast, he's a nunchaku/staff freestyle artist and his knowledge on the subject is deep and would make for an interesting episode.
Hey Joe. In a couple of week Ramsey Dewey will come near your studio. He is trainer in China actually and it would be a great oportunity to have him for a podcast with you. If you don't know the guy you should. Great teacher, analysing all style and martial arts with a unique touch of wisdom on UA-cam. A podcast with the two of you would be amazing.
No, it's just deep massage. Like this: www.amazon.com/Exerscribe-Personal-Percussion-Massage-Gun/dp/B07GPXQTBR/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_121_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TP10MZCB39CWE6N7RQ6R
He not only hadn't deadlifted for very long,but hadn't ever felt a car deadlift (which is a little bit different pattern because of the arc) let alone at competition weight. Deadlifting isn't dangerous, moving outside your lane is, and he didn't just change lanes; he crossed all four, crossed the median and jumped the four oncoming lanes and drove up a cliff.
Great to see and hear people making huge come backs after a wicked back injury. I tore two discs deadlifting, healed them up with stem cells, I still have problems with sciatica. But at least Robert is big and strong. I'm 135. Yep,, don't do heavy barbell deadlifts unless you're gifted by God and Nature.
For both legs to go numb and both sciatic nerves to be compressed you have to do some damage to root nerves L4-S3 in the lumbosacral plexus OR he enflamed or even tore BOTH priformis muscles inside of the pelvis. It’s called piriformis syndrome, usually you only get it on one side, bilateral impingement isn’t very common. These strong men guys are fucking insane xD but to be the best in the world you have to do crazy shit like that

Hearing him talk about not getting treated due to lack of insurance makes me glad to be British and have the NHS.
doug clark this aged bad
@@deploysat43 Why?
doug clark the new party is taking away the nhs
@@deploysat43 Ah ok yes I am sure they will try.
I thought he tore his bicep this year too but idk if this was live or prerecorded
Good to see bam margera finally getting well. Congratulations bam
"It was almost like being baptized." Awesome
The thumbnail is perfect.
I think a torn bicep is something I'm glad I wish never had happen to me. I keep hearing stories about it's pain and what you have to go through to recover. It's too much.
i said woooww in unison with joe rogan, LMAO thats all you can say to that, "my back poped, and my leggs went numb" yeah thats hardcore
Get Eddie and Brian on here and Joe will have a hell of a episode
We he talks about feeling baptized, that really got me for some reason, hit me hard
I hurt my back while squatting and lost the ability to lift my left leg off the ground. Went to the doctor, had xrays, MRI's, everything. They come back and said they can't find anything wrong. Whatever happened fixed itself after a few months but I still have pain in that side of my lower back.
That Hercules hold story is exactly why they make the contestants GTFO as soon as they're injured.
Exactly, so they don't kill themselves
you are a wizard now harry

Great comment thx for sharing 💪✌️👍🖕
Relatable. Was olympic lifting and trying to get to nationals. Was 180lbs 0r 83kg Being trained by an Olympic competitor and national professional. Was doing sets of cleans at 3 reps. 3rd set second rep... pop... couldn’t breathe, hurt to move, got my spine decompressed by the coach went home, couldn’t walk or move for 3 days, 4th day got up started slow and started working out again. About 2 months later i tweaked it and went to the orthopedist, said it was muscular nothing to worry about. Kept training for two more years with non stop back pain and clicking. Finally went to the doctor demanded and MRI, got one and turns out I had two herniated discs, one bulged disc and a cyst that formed on the thoracic part of the spine. That orthopedist said its fine don’t worry about it will heal. Went to one of the best orthopedic spine surgeons to get a cortisone shot in the vertebrae, and he told me what the other doctor said was BS. He said he was surprised I never hurt myself worse than what happened and surprised they healed while still doing heavy lifting. Crazy ride it has been.
I can totally relate to this guy when not having insurance an you get a bad injury an you can't do nothing about it sucks.
"You didn't get an MRI?"
"I had no insurance."
I thought Obama said we all have insurance
OBAMA?!!!!
I’m curious the attachments he used to “remove” scar tissue??? I’ve had so many injuries. My back, ankles, knees, and a rhomboid that never seems to heal. I have a dewalt skill saw. Please enlighten me.
I can’t rehab in hospital. I’m a self employed stone mason.

Joe Max Fpv it's not a circular saw, it's like a jig saw. I think they have attachments for actual jig saws to be used for deep tissue massage. This breaks up the scar tissue.
J Napier thanks brother. Appreciate the link!!
I did strongman for 3 years, in those three years I managed to get a calf DVT and damaged my lower back, and neck. Few years later I still have back pain, I suffer from migraines and can't afford further doctor appointments. All they fed me was pain killers and blood thinners for months.
obi is the best! love to see how the strongest guys always seem to be the biggest sweethearts!
Jig Saw, not Skill Saw

@@mrjackson5872 capitalizing every other letter is hands down the douchebaggiest thing to come out of 2018. Quit being a fag.
Eddie Hall + Brian Shaw are hilarious together. Please get them on the show!!!
Hey Joe, you should try and get Ken Hill on your podcast, he's a nunchaku/staff freestyle artist and his knowledge on the subject is deep and would make for an interesting episode.
I have met Robert and he is a great man
Hey Joe. In a couple of week Ramsey Dewey will come near your studio. He is trainer in China actually and it would be a great oportunity to have him for a podcast with you. If you don't know the guy you should. Great teacher, analysing all style and martial arts with a unique touch of wisdom on UA-cam.
A podcast with the two of you would be amazing.
Bring Brian Shaw, love that guy.
I could see this guy challenging Hawk to an arm wrestling match.
Wait wtf was that ending? Did he do surgery on himself?
No, it's just deep massage. Like this: www.amazon.com/Exerscribe-Personal-Percussion-Massage-Gun/dp/B07GPXQTBR/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_121_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TP10MZCB39CWE6N7RQ6R

ya he meant jig saw its alot cheaper
..alot lol....but damn they are soooooo loud lol
Oberst is very entertaining. One of my favorites for sure.
So you never lifted a car before and decided to lift a car anyways?
Yeah that was stupid
@Zombie3110bd Not everything! I haven't sucked a cock and i dont i ever will.
@@cloud10ism Well you will never lift a car also so what is your problem? car is just a weight and this guy is a STRONGMAN Pro you know?
He not only hadn't deadlifted for very long,but hadn't ever felt a car deadlift (which is a little bit different pattern because of the arc) let alone at competition weight. Deadlifting isn't dangerous, moving outside your lane is, and he didn't just change lanes; he crossed all four, crossed the median and jumped the four oncoming lanes and drove up a cliff.
Great to see and hear people making huge come backs after a wicked back injury. I tore two discs deadlifting, healed them up with stem cells, I still have problems with sciatica. But at least Robert is big and strong. I'm 135. Yep,, don't do heavy barbell deadlifts unless you're gifted by God and Nature.
I have the same problem, where did you get your treatment?
Fuck he is a beast this guy.
Numb legs for 2 months 2 years on and off for two years.
Craziest part of this interview was how small Robert makes Joe look. Normally Joe is pretty big relative to the guest haha
Not really lol. joe is 5'8.
Strongman almost doesn’t sound worth it
Get Eddie hall on
For both legs to go numb and both sciatic nerves to be compressed you have to do some damage to root nerves L4-S3 in the lumbosacral plexus OR he enflamed or even tore BOTH priformis muscles inside of the pelvis. It’s called piriformis syndrome, usually you only get it on one side, bilateral impingement isn’t very common. These strong men guys are fucking insane xD but to be the best in the world you have to do crazy shit like that
Toughest SOB! Damn.
...did that man just admit to removing scar tissue with a skill saw?
Jordan Wiley yes but the attachment isn’t the blade
