I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even think that strongmen train for the deadlift, it is just an accessory lift for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Hafthor deadlifted 501 kg, which is over 1200 pounds. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think any powerlifters can go anywhere near that weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Theory; to become stronger, trained like a strongman, not a powerlifter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='1180' height='664' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/SSkz4Zva?cover=1&amp;autoPlay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ferickimphotography.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F11%2F6-plate-squat-eric-kim-short-480-2_mov_std.original.jpg&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For example, I find it very interesting how the world deadlift record is not held by a powerlifter, but a strongman.
