Well probably the levels were low in the past :))….a 500 deadlift can be done by an asthmatic, with heart problems, blood problems……..While some 100% healthy people can't imagine doing that :D……But then Eddie Hall and Ray Williams, or other people have potential, and have greater access to drugs and stuff….. He is still a great guy for doing it raw…..
my goal has been to power clean 315 and bench 225 for the longest. I smashed bench, got 235, going for 315 now. I've been doing calisthenics!!!! its puts on sooo much strength. get a set of gymastcs rings on amazon for 30 bucks, hang it from a tree and u can do pullups, crosses for shoulders, levers, if your trying to get strong, u should invest in rings. my buddy mike reps 315 easy on bench at 175.
I think its easy to say that the standard has increased. And yes some of the lifters today are amongst the greatest of all time. But to put in perspective no one has come anywhere near ed coan really. Dude squatted 1000lbs @ 220lb bodyweight. Yes he was 'equipped' but the suits back then were just not comparable with modern equipment
I'm sure none of these things(like the 4 min mile) and all the other ones he mentioned have ANYTHING to do with medical advances, if you know what I'm sayin 😉
maybe science behind steroids just gets better… and if someone reaches that new level you can say like ok, i'll try to increase steroid intake and risk more, or whatever
Just because Usain Bolt can run the 100m in 9.58 seconds does NOT mean it's possible for others to run it the same or BETTER. This guy is giving false hope. Some guy is going to think he can bench press 500 pounds (when he can barely lift 300 pounds) and then find out real quick that he can't as the weights come crashing down on him.
Squatting 1000 plus pounds is not going to win you a street fight or in a fight inside a MMA cage. Impressive in terms of the weight being squatted but dude is fat. This is the sport for those guys who aren't 'athletic'.
Training in Jeremy Hoornstra's new gym and seeing him repping 600 lbs regularly is really desensitizing me to seeing more weight on the bench, I definitely believe there is some merit to what you are saying about that!
I find it hard to believe that this guy can squat about 250 lbs more than he can deadlift. The squat looked easy and the deadlift looked like he could barely lift it.
omar ik u clarify in the vid but to everyone else who wont wAtch the while thing, he is not the first person to squat 1000lbs raw. He is however the first to do it wearing only knee sleeves.
Yes I would say that people are getting stronger and world records are being beaten. But it comes at a cost. All I ever hear now is how people are constantly injured or hurt. No idea how many powerlifters I follow on Instagram or youtube, but majority of them are always on a rehab stint for 3-6months.
Negative Ghost Rider. 4 words; two people. Andrey Malanichev, twice, and recently at that. Visit the Animal pak page, and you'll see what I mean. And Derek Kendall, a few months ago.
Sorry, the competition breeds excellence point is nonsensical. At every point in athletic history competition has existed and often been fierce. What has actually changed is knowkedge, of nutrition, training methods, technology, etc. This lift was the result of general human progress applied to exceptional individual strength.

holy crap look like he didnt even struggle with it made it look like light weight lol it looked like he couldve done alot more weight tbh
its Not Raw, he has a weight belt and other accessories
I thought Eddie Hall had the deadlift record. What did Belkin's 921 lb. record pertain to?
what's your deadlift max?
1 name! andre milanachev 😉 the king of squats period!

damn I thought i was watchin a squat, not yak yak yak
2020 fist 1000lb Beltless squat
Great video as always. What's that song in the end?
if you go to Google and type world record squats, you don't see this guys name you see people who squat more.
you can move more weight on your bench because your cns has taken a break and it ain't fried anymore.

What are you people talking about? Dr. Fred Hatfield, Ed Coan, and Kirk Karwoski all squatted 1,000 "raw" too
Drugs keep getting stronger and stronger.
Scary how easy that looked. Great to see this getting the publicity it deserves.
Dude, Omar, you are such a great motivational speaker.

Boy built like Harambe's bodyguard

When's this bench program coming out. I've been deloading and doing the rich piana diet for 5 months getting ready for this shit
this video got my sub!!
competed at same meet ! amazing seeing this man in person
goals sucks

And the first thing Layne Norton says "he did it natural". BS! One fake natty defending another.
That lift is super awesome, the amount of fat he has not super awesome…
Am I the only one, who feel that Ray Williams resemble Mark Henry. 🙄
I like the way you think Bruhh

hey great video

No one is really natural anymore due to all the growth hormones and steroids in your food.
So what's the record with no belt or knee support? Is that info recorded?
He had another 5-10 pounds in the squat tank IMO! what a massive achievement!
dude in the background at 6:16 was like… "Where the kush at?"
Man…the man is gigantic. The inertia must be breathtaking.
ayy good video thanks omar!!

Oh, and then there's Eric Lilliebridge too. Keep up.
Haha I love your face when you smell the weed drifting over. The sly grin is awesome.
I'll dissecate this guy if he is really natty.
1052! He has the greatest lift of all time.
