scoliosis is why he could
i have scoliosis and i deadlifted 1,5 times my bodyweight at my first max out while i dont even lift thats odd. but i have big ass tho
Scoliosis sucks. This guy is such an inspiration.
Nothing but complete respect for this man. That's absolutely incredible.
My god, his fingers must reach his lower knees.
powerlifting usa…man what a great mag. i used to collect way back in the day
i thought that the title meant that he deadlifted his body weight for five reps. I though ''sure i can do that no bother…" Then i figured it out and realised how wrong I was.
I googled him a month back because his name stuck with me all
These years due to his phenomenonal achievements.
Cool to see you give him props.
Some used to say his curvature gave him an advantage in dead lifts
Due to his shorter trunk…..but how would you explain his monster squat
And dead lift with such a diminutive stature.
Absolute beast
Human Spirit and raw determination cant be touched. Like the philosopher Master P says, No Limits.
Scoliosis patients not to lift weights and stuff and this guy made a career out of lifting weights. RESPECT
And only 5x deadlift since.
Long ass arms
Arms down to his knees help
look how long those arms are, damn
Another 5 times bodyweight deadlift with a person with spine problems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcsJGE1uumA
The disease was obviously a crucial reason he could do this it actually helped him alot because it's so much easier to do half reps like he has to do with a back that short.
totally agree with the poster–lamar gant was an amazing powerlifter
this is amazing but I think there's a relationship between personal height and dealift PR compaired to body weight the world record for deadlifting 500KG/1102lbs is by strongman Eddie Hall at 6'3" which considered not that tall for strongman although he did put alot of work separately because strongman have to train for certain events rather than for world record.
Eventually, evolution will grant us a guy that can lock out by pulling one inch off the ground.
Wtf?!
I'm breaking my body to reach 3 times and that guy do 5 times and as a …
I'm just gonna sleep
Damnn this is not cool the spine is fuck top do you think this guys can fixed it or not ?? or he gone live all is life with this ??
I’m not trying to take away from his accomplishments but he was definitely on drugs if he set world records. There’s no way you can compete with the best powerlifters in the world if you’re not on juice
He's natty? Imagine if he used steroids and lift 6X his body weight
He doesn't have long arms, he has a very short torso. That's why they look long. He's 5'2.
That's exactly the way I felt (when seeing this phenom). Ppl suck, for not recognizing this amazing lifter (and man). 'Talk about overcoming… Lamar Gant deserves so much more than he obviously will ever get credit for. Great piece brother! Thank you.
he only competed equipped
My lockout is right in my peenus.. His is right above his knees 😱
Imagine squatting with scoliosis..
