So a few people are mentioning that Brian has pulled 1000lbs before and is stronger than Cailer. I do not believe these lifts are a fair comparison as Brian used straps (making the lift easier). Under powerlifting rules you cannot use them for this reason I have used lifting vaults estimation as he knows a lot more about powerlifting than I do. Even if Brian was to focus on his powerlifting deadlift and bring it up past Cailer's I still think the fact Cailer is pretty much half his weight yet so insanely strong at the deadlift is crazy. A few people are also saying 'sumo is cheating' I really don't want to get involved in that argument as people get pretty passionate on the topic 😂 but it's interesting to note that Cailer also pulls 909lbs or 412.5kg conventional...

99.9 subs wow almost 100k. Congrats; Cool to see I made it into the longer muscle belly category. Oddly enough I have short legs but normal length arms and a long torso. This is why I pull sumo rather than conventional.
A lot of lifting weight too has to do with physics. The overall length of your limbs, and where your joints are do play a huge role in your lifts, and your potential for increasing weight. Perhaps this Cailer guy just so happens to have all the right physics going for him, and that’s why even at his size. He’s a beast in the dead lift. I guarantee in other exercises he doesn’t show nearly that level of super human strength.
He's hit a 677lb squat and 491lb bench in competition before, so pretty damn superhuman (set the 220 total WR at the time). John Haack is even more impressive, as he's nearly out-totalled the new 220, and 242 weight class WRs while weighing in at 198lbs
you just used a whole paragraph to explain the word "leverages". We know Cailer's long limbs contribute to his massive deadlift. It doesn't explain why he almost benches 500 lbs too tho
@@ykaiserr6865 if you deadlift for the first time and hit 400 at a 200 BW that's impressive as fuck. My best deadlift is 545 (190 BW at the time), I'd say you could be hitting 600 plus in 2 years for sure
This video is of such high quality its hard to describe how happy I am that you joined the fight against all the BS going around. I tip my barbell to you, friend.
I joined the gym at 19 and my first deadlift was 400 lb. Everyone was shook. I was fat but I wasn't muscular underneath that fat at all ... 5 years later and my max deadlift is still around 450 lb and I still look like shit. I'm finally working to fix that. Continuously improving is important.
Loved your explanation on how angles affect relative strength, see this kind of stuff every year in the NFL combine where some offensive lineman with enormous arms underperforms relative to expectations and it feels like few people ever consider how simple physics affects lifting.
I remember the day I turned 14. I was doing 4 sets of Romanian deadlifts for 8-10 reps with 242.5 pounds (I even felt like adding weight) and most of my friends couldn't even lift that bar once. Three months later I benched 205lbs after a chest workout and was jealous, because one of my friends (16 at the time) managed to get two reps out of 226lbs, and he had been going to the gym for just 4 months. 4 years have passed and most of my friends haven't still got to that level within a year. Some people are just built differently and blessed by the gods of gym.
Same. Me and my best friend are 60lbs in body weight apart which may have helped but he always had 10lbs on me on bench. When we competed for jv football at the start of being 14 I benched 185 3 times, he benched 195 3 times. I was like wtf
will admit I was a bit salty seeing my friend who has never lifted started off with 135 bench, while I had to start off with just the bar when I first started. But yeah, just work hard. Unless you are an actual athlete, just focus on improving yourself to the best of your ability.
It depends on your lifestyle. People who've been sedentary all their lives will struggle with just a 65 lb bench on their first day, but people who have even a remotely active lifestyle due to exercising normally or working active jobs would obviously have a much stronger foundation to begin with. Your average farm boy could probably pull a 315 deadlift on their first day at the gym.
@@TactlessGuy idk.....i was one of the most sedentary people in my town when i started lifting at 15 yet i could hop on bench and do 135lbs for reps while only weighing 100lbs
Worth noting that initial strength doesn't necessarily correlate with long term potential. Feigenbaum at Barbell Medicine pulled 550lbs at the end of his first year of training I think and even with as much knowledge as he has, years and years later his max is in the 700s, while Austin Baraki had a very average first year of training and now pulls a very similar amount. Response to training and initial strength seem to be 2 unrelated factors
Yeup all different starting points. in my time training/being coached. My deadlift has surpassed I wanna say most of my fellow clients, just 7 months into it. They’ve all had 1-1.5yrs+ training. However my bench and squat suck ass in comparison and it’s slightly annoying…but I’ll take my deadlift and walk wit it
This guys video quality is top tier. He so informative and presents it in such a easily digestible way. All the visuals and presentation match together so well.
I don't even workout like that, but, I discovered this channel earlier today and have now blown through all of your videos. Really incredible work, Josh
Another amazing video! While genetics play a role in overall max potential, ANYONE can make big improvements to their muscle size & strength by consistently training properly & pushing themselves harder. 💪
Very true and thanks for some tips a couple months ago. I'm up to 71 KG DL for reps, compared to 36 KG I started with 5 months ago. (just for a reference)

Edit: Thanks so much for the heart and 6 likes! I appreciate you guys.
This video was outrageously good. The editing, script, information and the overall message were top tier. I don't normally comment but a video like this deserve much more credit. You deserve much more views and subscribers!
Love this so much!! When I first joined the gym I was lifting around 120kg on the leg press, and everyone was just shocked -I was a newbie, I’m 152cm tall and weight 47kg, but that was just what I needed. Then I left the gym for around 4 years and when I got back, I was barely lifting 80kg xd Still on that same weight
@@funnyguppygaming2012 I've been training for 3 years and I can do like 650lbs on leg press at 190lbs when I started I was doing 330lbs at 160lbs. Keep going consistently eat enough protein and get enough rest and you'll be stronger in no time 💪
Damn bro thanks for explaining all of this to me. I outlift (except for bench press) 90% of the guys who make fun of me at work for my size and had no clue why. I never cared about size, only strength. But this gives me motivation to start working out again. Cheers
I ignore the social media. It's too toxic for your health. I mostly just watch Greg Doucette videos. Just train hard, lift weights, do cardio, and eat balanced diet of whole foods. Simple and effective advice.
MAN THE EDITING ON YOUR VIDEOS IS INSANE. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE AND AN ATHLETE, WHEN CONTENT SO ACCURATE AND WELL PRESENTED IS FUCKING FREEEEEEEEEEEEE THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DO JOSH. Derek and his deathstars floating in the background at the end just killed me.
The problem is some people start with no muscle AT ALL. And they don't even realise how DIFFERENT every single muscle they have will look when developed properly. I used to look like a damn coat hanger in my shoulders. They were literally sharp. It was almost just bone. Now I have very round aesthetic shoulders. My arms were also like twigs. They actually turned out to be one of my best looking body parts! Just keep going, you haven't seen your real potential yet!!! Have you even seen how skinny Jeff Seid or Zyzz used to look? Sure, they aren't natural but the way their bodies were in the beginning is no clear indicator of what was about to come later on.
The reason is that those more mascular dudes took roids (some even synthol) to get there. Before roids were invented it was extremely rare for a man to get to sizes seen today, despite some people lifting heavy weights or other hard manual labor for 12 hours a day as their day-job.
Working hard doesn't give you big muscles , it gives strength an endurance look at marathon runners The look like normal dudes . You cant get muscles like steroid users but stop whining and go excercise
Awesome video Josh. When I was younger I wanted to be huge and veeeery quickly realised I didn't have the genetics for that! So I wanted to be the strongest and realised I didn't have the genetics for that either. I'm genuinely happy where I am now - getting bigger and stronger than I was last /week/month/year. The journey is so satisfying
This makes me happy This video is truthful and just full of facts And the end quote hits home cause im 170+lbs and my deadlift is 225lbs raw I know that there are people in the world that weigh less and can deadlift more And that doesnt bother me Cause you need to focus on you And you can challenge yourself to reach that person or even be better than them So dont forget to train harder than last time and enjoy your workout
Strength training is overcoming nervous system . There are cases of 100lb girl lift 600lb quad bike to save someone. Body is capable but protection mechanisms that stop from damaging your body.
I was very surprised by this presentation, because I thought you were going somewhere else with it. Thank you for your insight. I happen to whole-heartedly agree with your assessment. I think that most of us spend way too much time comparing ourselves to other lifters, and we never do the things we need to do in order to improve ourselves.
Truly a wholesome fitness channel with articulate points that isn’t here to sell supplements and manages to bring in a ton of other fitness you tubers together. Josh your channel is amazing. Wish there was more, but with the quality you provide I know it’s probably time consuming. I’ll continue to click whenever you upload. Cheers!
Bro what a vid!!!! Hands down full professionalism as well as a great knowledge. Well done mate. Including Greg D. And Derek only make this vid go more popular than the last one. :)
10:34 can we all just appreciate this little joke about MorePlatesMoreDates' death star delts? it's in these moments you realize how good this channel is, and how thoroughly josh researches the topics of his videos
I just appreciate this video so much for mentioning Brian Shaw. He doesn't have the same brand recognition as Hafthor and people often don't know him or don't mention him when strongman gets talked about
Can't wait to see coach Greg and Derek reacting about this! ;) EDIT: I think you should start pronouncing it like "do-set". I used to mispronounce it like you at first but it seems that other ppl have done that and it turns out to be a joke like douche-ette...I know now why the guy gets pissed. I didn't get the joke at first as a non native english speaker.
*MOSTLY GENETICS* is probably the single most appropriate response to so many questions in bodybuilding, weightlifting, fitness, sports, and the world of professional athletes. However, those engaged in those activities do not want to admit any inherent advantages they may have since they obviously work very hard to be the best at what they do. Therefore, there is a large group of frustrated people trying to achieve the impossible by following the advice of genetically gifted people (many of whom use "enhancements" as well) while the truth is they never had the ability to do so in the first place. The best thing you can do to improve your body and athleticism is keep a log of your progress and use objective criteria to measure this progress. For example, total number of sets per body part, # reps/sets per exercise, caloric intake, macro/micro nutrient intake, frequency and severity of injuries, frequency and intensity of rest required to maintain schedule, weight loss/gain, body measurements, resting HR decrease/increase, body fat measurements, etc. *Following other people's routines, diets, and motivations is going to lead to frustration and self blame* . You're almost never going to look like anyone else, especially when just comparing yourself to anyone from the general population. You are bound by your genetics. This is the most misunderstood and frequently repressed truth about fitness. You have limited options and need to work with and around those limitations to be the best you.
Insane quality for a video. And well done for putting complicated scientific rules/facts into layman language! Really crisp and cut - to the point - information. I rate 10/10 presentation. Enjoyed very much
There's no real world advantage of having above average strength. Friends, family and co-workers just want to use you as a work mule for stuff they are physically unable to do themselves.
So what I have good or bad genetics..I love lifting weights..and I won't quit because of some basterds can lift heavier than me..there is always someone better than you...if you start comparing yourself you will fell down to a endless cycle of comparison..it all started from the school years when teacher and parents compare your marks with the topper of the class..rather than compare with your previous self..🔥🔥great video man 🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️
Brians heavy deadlift is 1014 lbs Either way though anything over 500 is impressive but also it takes so long to gain when the weight gets heavier it gets way harder to gain so someone may seem like there close to there 700 lbs deadlift when there 600 but that 100 lbs difference is alot more than what people think. Good vid though
@@qwertyuiop1tiop590 at the same token tho lets see that dude do it though, I literally cant pull better, i can pull more reps though just not better. Idk, i believe brian could do 7-8 with no straps
@@ITC-Ham OK cool, you probably haven't pushed your body to it's physical strength limit then taken large amount of steroids to push it to its limit with steroids, Brian Shaw is strong but just his deadlift isn't as good as many far smaller and lighter deadlift specialists in powerlifting just because their genetics at their limit allow them to deadlift slightly more than him. When it comes to strongman events like Conan's wheel and Viking press or whatever Shaw would smoke them but for deadlift without straps, they're stronger. PS I'm pretty sure this guys deadlift without straps is as good as Shaw's with straps.
When I was coaching for competition I use to tell people complaining of not being gifted and never going to beat the best that ”the only person you want to beat is yesterday you”. If you constently work on improving yourself, eventualy you are going to beat others. At worst you are just going to be a better version of yourself, you have nothing to loose and everything to win when you come from the bottom. Some of my least ”gifted” students became the better competitors just because they kept the will to better themselves. And then once in a while you got the 0.1% of extremely gifted hard training highly motivated ones, and yeah they do get most of the podiums.
So a few people are mentioning that Brian has pulled 1000lbs before and is stronger than Cailer.
I do not believe these lifts are a fair comparison as Brian used straps (making the lift easier).

And (society are hating on everyone for being "average")

Great video. Also you should have mentioned centrous nervous system.
Like your vids man
ua-cam.com/video/AMxC7-6c-Ps/v-deo.html thoughts about this?
Everything he mentioned obviously requires the CNS lmao this is a stupid fucking comment. He might as well have mentioned consciousness
@@francovlla xdddd
The CNS part of strength could warrant its own video if he wants to explain it the way he did the muscle fiber part in this video.
10:35: efficacious supplements with adequate dosages,
Truly a wholesome fitness channel with articulate points that isn’t here to sell supplements and manages to bring in a ton of other fitness you tubers together. Josh your channel is amazing. Wish there was more, but with the quality you provide I know it’s probably time consuming. I’ll continue to click whenever you upload. Cheers!
Kinda sad that other larger channels will make "commentary" videos on this one and then get quadruple the views.
Just as Josh will get marketing out of it?🙂
Jesus the quality is extraordinary. Great job making the world a better place with these videos.
I was counting down for this vid bro!
So much quality in every epidote, the production value and script writing, the voice work, all top notch.
Hey josh remember me when you'll be popular
you deserve more subs
I'm kinda surprised nobody talk about the star wars theme he used
As I've been trying to investigate whether or not I should consider power-training, I am very glad you posted this. Perfect timing
10:35 Those delts have enough power to destroy planets.
Narration, editing, information. On point. quality. GOLD.
10:35 the death stars dude holy
Don’t forget the OGs!!Love this channel man. I’m so glad to see how far you’ve come
Bro what a vid!!!! Hands down full professionalism as well as a great knowledge. Well done mate.
Including Greg D. And Derek only make this vid go more popular than the last one. :)
The quality of this video is incredible!
Another banger? Great content brother 💪👍
love the production quality of these videos. also love the insider jokes here and there like 10:35 "efficacious suppliments" with deathstar derek haha
another masterpiece
10:34 can we all just appreciate this little joke about MorePlatesMoreDates' death star delts? it's in these moments you realize how good this channel is, and how thoroughly josh researches the topics of his videos
“I ain’t even tryna get stronger during summer but make money online for my family”
4:50 lmfao that caught me off guard 😂
Greg, Comment Faster Than Last Time 💪🏻
CONGRATS ON 100k SUBS!!!!
Thank you!!
I just appreciate this video so much for mentioning Brian Shaw. He doesn't have the same brand recognition as Hafthor and people often don't know him or don't mention him when strongman gets talked about
The guy is a Beast!
I mean Brian Shaw has over 1,5 million subscribers
@@benjaminmacintyre349 yoooo. R u ever gonna try out weightlifting?
He gets talked about a lot for a strongman. But he hasn’t been a reoccurring character in game of thrones like hathor...
Refreshingly informative video on an already saturated topic. Very well edited, concise, you’re on the right track my friend. Keep up the great work.
Better than Netflix
Love the Star Wars motif for the video, and the excellent discussion of what contributes to strength vs size.
Highly informative video👍
There’s always someone out there who’s stronger and smarter. And my goal is to always get stronger them yesterday self
Can't wait to see coach Greg and Derek reacting about this! ;)
EDIT: I think you should start pronouncing it like "do-set". I used to mispronounce it like you at first but it seems that other ppl have done that and it turns out to be a joke like douche-ette...I know now why the guy gets pissed. I didn't get the joke at first as a non native english speaker.
*MOSTLY GENETICS* is probably the single most appropriate response to so many questions in bodybuilding, weightlifting, fitness, sports, and the world of professional athletes. However, those engaged in those activities do not want to admit any inherent advantages they may have since they obviously work very hard to be the best at what they do. Therefore, there is a large group of frustrated people trying to achieve the impossible by following the advice of genetically gifted people (many of whom use "enhancements" as well) while the truth is they never had the ability to do so in the first place.
The best thing you can do to improve your body and athleticism is keep a log of your progress and use objective criteria to measure this progress. For example, total number of sets per body part, # reps/sets per exercise, caloric intake, macro/micro nutrient intake, frequency and severity of injuries, frequency and intensity of rest required to maintain schedule, weight loss/gain, body measurements, resting HR decrease/increase, body fat measurements, etc.
*Following other people's routines, diets, and motivations is going to lead to frustration and self blame* . You're almost never going to look like anyone else, especially when just comparing yourself to anyone from the general population. You are bound by your genetics. This is the most misunderstood and frequently repressed truth about fitness. You have limited options and need to work with and around those limitations to be the best you.
Hello to all the circles!!!
Insane quality for a video. And well done for putting complicated scientific rules/facts into layman language! Really crisp and cut - to the point - information. I rate 10/10 presentation. Enjoyed very much
Best channel hands down
I dont even go for walks let alone lift weights. This was pretty insightful though and well edited. I'm subbing even though I don't lift though.
There's no real world advantage of having above average strength. Friends, family and co-workers just want to use you as a work mule for stuff they are physically unable to do themselves.
Lol, true. Your pr's and other physical achievements don't mean anything to anyone apart from you.
Maybe the best thing about lifting. Nobody cares how strong you are. You are truly doing all of this for yourself.
What an absolutely domesticated statement.
So what I have good or bad genetics..I love lifting weights..and I won't quit because of some basterds can lift heavier than me..there is always someone better than you...if you start comparing yourself you will fell down to a endless cycle of comparison..it all started from the school years when teacher and parents compare your marks with the topper of the class..rather than compare with your previous self..🔥🔥great video man 🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️
Mad throwback to the Lego star wars saga and a sick video all in one!
I love how how this video was set up. Keep up the good work.
You should look at BenjaminMac05, he is going to beat the deadlift record for a 15 years old next month probably
hes a freak tbh
Shout out the boy ben
Just heard about this guy. And holy shit he lifts more than majority of most adults at 15 years of age
He's also in this comment section
@DINESH SELVAM Moe How many grown man can deadlift 260kg in 10 month of ramdom training ? Genetic is fucking unfair 🙃
Hey dude, good edition, and you put the universal metrics system (thank you, i'm brazillian) it's so good, awesome video broo!
You know it’s gonna be a good day when Josh uploads!
Shoutout to you for making this fantastic and informative video and shoutout to UA-cam for recommending it to me.
Wow almost 100k subs already.. great work!
derek's delts with death star at 10:33... epic! LOL subbed!
Brians heavy deadlift is 1014 lbs
Either way though anything over 500 is impressive but also it takes so long to gain when the weight gets heavier it gets way harder to gain so someone may seem like there close to there 700 lbs deadlift when there 600 but that 100 lbs difference is alot more than what people think.
Good vid though
He said by powerlifting standards, the strongman deadlift straps so grip strength isn't so important, the powerlifting deadlift has no straps.
@@qwertyuiop1tiop590 at the same token tho lets see that dude do it though,
I literally cant pull better, i can pull more reps though just not better.
Idk, i believe brian could do 7-8 with no straps
@@ITC-Ham OK cool, you probably haven't pushed your body to it's physical strength limit then taken large amount of steroids to push it to its limit with steroids, Brian Shaw is strong but just his deadlift isn't as good as many far smaller and lighter deadlift specialists in powerlifting just because their genetics at their limit allow them to deadlift slightly more than him. When it comes to strongman events like Conan's wheel and Viking press or whatever Shaw would smoke them but for deadlift without straps, they're stronger.
PS I'm pretty sure this guys deadlift without straps is as good as Shaw's with straps.
@@qwertyuiop1tiop590 idk maybe maybe not.
When I was coaching for competition I use to tell people complaining of not being gifted and never going to beat the best that ”the only person you want to beat is yesterday you”. If you constently work on improving yourself, eventualy you are going to beat others. At worst you are just going to be a better version of yourself, you have nothing to loose and everything to win when you come from the bottom. Some of my least ”gifted” students became the better competitors just because they kept the will to better themselves. And then once in a while you got the 0.1% of extremely gifted hard training highly motivated ones, and yeah they do get most of the podiums.
Love the Alex Jones part xD
Great, eye-opening video on a topic I don't hear talked about that often on youtube. Love your work man!
