Mike Burch 700 lbs

For all the poor children of the world

[starsquirrel]

9 years later and YouTube decides to recommend this to me…

[straubury]

The beard, the American Flag, cluttered garage, picture of the Savior on the desk, the classic rock playing in the background and the fact that he is lifting 700 for the poor kids at this age makes this the most legendary lift I have seen.

[y.__.y--]

The aesthetic of the garage, the music, and the farmer-looking guy in denim deadlifting 700 pounds... this is the most American video I've seen all day.

[elsewhereblvd]

Hell yeah, man! "This is for all the poor kids in the world." Like a badass!!

[innerlightshine]

This is my dad and he’s badass. He’s still alive and still lifting.

[EarthlyEden]

This is how you cure prostate cancer, you scare the shit out of it.

[tobieplett]

Telling my kids this was one of the founding fathers

[BREZHNIK]

This is some of the rawest footage i've ever seen

[SilverScythe]

He ended world poverty with a single lift. What a hero.

[joshuaanothereraseddad]

I see the algorithm has gathered us all here after 9 years...

[Wolfchaser]

I'm 47 years old and when I grow up I want to be just like him

[solsnider]

Felt this man's aura before I even opened YouTube. This is undoubtedly the most badass thing I've seen this week.

[johnnyflinn]

The most American video to ever manifest itself into existence.

[fliskyflake]

As one of the poor kids, I'd like to thank you for this lift.

[FT__Bicycling_____-scyv]

"This is for all the poor kids in the world" makes it my favorite video on Youtube.

[jamesw]

- Welcomes the audience to the video
- Does the lift for the poor
- Smashes 700 with way too little difficulty… in his sixties
- Takes a knee to honour the American flag behind him after the lift
- Thanks us for watching
- Is STILL killing it 9 years later

What an absolute living legend this dude is

[TayDays]

For those who dont know, Mike Burch is a 74 year old powerlifting legend who's been competing since the 1970s & competed as recently as 2023. He won the masters with an impressive 505 deadlift!

[esotericwarrior]

Right when he said "this is for all the poor kids in the world." I knew he was gonna hit that.

Thank you Mike!
