What do you think of Radim Svec's Lift? Please comment below. 👇

Guinness also listed Paul Anderson as bench pressing 627 lbs. as a professional. This was the same year (1957) that Doug Hepburn set the official record at 550. Other sources list Anderson's weight as being 619, 620 or 626, all of which would have been world records if done officially.

I think with his extraordinary pressing power, he may have done it. But, after reading a long, long article investigating his 6270 back lift, I (sadly) question that one.

[greigite]

no doubt hes probably strong but i really suspect these lifts

[samuelmccorriston]

I think its highly likely to be fake. Hope your health doing well bro?

[edwardhinton]

Legitimate lift or not its just a Grizzly like lift, nobody will take it seriously.

Steve Justa did an unofficial 2000lb on a special bar

[RobinMuirhead]

If it is real the amount of pressure even for a short movement pattern is immense, anyone who has lifted super heavy rack pulls will tell you the pressure on the body as a whole is unmanageable over a greater range. Needs ratifying, any normal gym bar would split.

[fictionknightc.r.]

Taking into account he is 6'4" ~390lbs and just recently slimmed down, I think it might, just _might_ be plausible. Eric Bugenhagen did a 1245lbs Rack Pull at 6'1" ~270lbs before he started using PEDs on the WWE— Even Juji mentioned during their most recent Collab how much bigger he has become.

His Lift is also similar to the Hands-and-Thighs Lift, on which the World Record is 1910lbs by Joe García in 1997, who is much more smaller. Although ultimately different, and Joe is inhumanly strong for his Size; at 205lbs he did a Hip Lift of 2520lbs in 1988, still remaining the World Record— Closest was when Nick Best at 6'4" 350lbs tried 2535lbs and broke some Vertebrae losing nearly two inches in Height in the 2000s. And whilst García has been competing at the World-Class Level at USAWA since the 80s, Radim has done none of similar fashion.

Honestly is quite shady and doubtful... Also, happy to see you uploading again. Take care make 🙏

Completely doable. I started doing this lift in late 90's and ended up hitting 1650 pounds for a single at a bodyweight of 218 pounds. I could also hit 1000 pounds for 10 reps without struggling. I trained this lift once a week on Saturdays for 2 years before l hit the 1650. This lift is a lot of fun to train, but it pack on a lot of muscle around the waist messing with your balance and it will slow down a person down somewhat, also as a construction worker it made me more susceptible to over heating at work during warm weather

According to him, he actually did 700kg before he got injured. Had to go back down to 440kg and build back up and surpass the previous 700kg PR. So, it's more Muscle Memory and actually just around 200kg of new gains. Regardless, mighty impressive.

It's good to be skeptical - lots of fakers nowadays. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Won't hurt me in any way if I believe it's true.haha

[johnwilburn]

Nothing wrong with it. Better than cheat reppers making bench, squat, deadlift, and leg press claims. It's interesting just to see what a person can move and hold.

[windsolarupnorth]

Plates doesn't look real. The black bumper plates seem to follow same pattern on all the lifts. A thick one, followed with two thin ones. I think it is just a big piece of rubber with tracks in it to look like plates.

[damiensmith]

No way. Look at the lack of bend in the bar, compared to his other lifts.

[captainobscurity]

This could be real. It's basically the same lift as the hand and thigh lift and the official USAWA Record in that lift is 1910 lbs.

[g-man]

Why does the bar bend far less with allegedly more weight?

Since a monster like Brian Shaw can only rack pull 1300 or so, 2, 000 seems highly improbable for anyone.

[waswillstdutun]

Hey strength. Do you can Tell me the Song at 1:40 in the Video Dallas mccarver vs ronnie coleman? Thanks

[muhammedlockhat-egod]

Mark henry vs bill kazmire powerlifting.

[dadimadh]

Not sure what to think. How do we know how much weight was on the bar?

[TheRealMcCoy]

I feel like that kind of progression is impossible in such a short time span

[BenOfficial]

It's possible that its genuine, but that is the worlds stiffest bar if it is.
