I'm getting a tonne of grief from my PT about deadlift and squat form so I'm probably more attuned to it, it just looks like he's about to really mess his back up lifting like that. Mad weight though!
A worldclass 173kg strongman, with over a decade of high level training
Compared to some 119 kg bloke who has been doing 3.5 years of powerlifting, 2 of them beeing pretty good.
Not a fair comparison now is it. And i'm not even gonna start about the bendy bars they use, or the lifting straps.
On a different note, got my practice meet tomorrow at 18h. I'll post vids of the deadlifts at and over 300kg if you like
All the record holders in heavy deadlift did it with conventional style rounded back. You need to be build for it or you'll break stuff and get hernia's.
