For example, I find it very interesting how the world deadlift record is not held by a powerlifter, but a strongman. I don’t even think that strongmen train for the deadlift, it is just an accessory lift for them.
For example, Hafthor deadlifted 501 kg, which is over 1200 pounds. I don’t think any powerlifters can go anywhere near that weight.
Theory; to become stronger, trained like a strongman, not a powerlifter.
For example, a good idea to use the hex bar or the trap bar at the gym, and to do a farmer walk carry. Next time I will try to do a farmer walk carry with 405 pounds.
Also, my micro squat. It seems the exercise is simply being able to hold the weight on my shoulders and walk and move around a bit.
