Him not being used to it is probably the main reason.

There is a technique with the Mammoth Bar where you pull the slack out first, then break the floor. It is like a double pull.

[JuliusCaesar]

A couple of things here.

Starting from a higher position means that probably you can't use the stretch reflex like usually.

Different starting position that John isn't used to.

He maybe wasn't peaked for this lift like he would for a powerlifting meet.

[THExJMC]

He's just not used to it and has a quick start. He essentially didn't pull the slack out of a bar with a whole lot of slack and thus misgrooved the attempt.

That's misconception with the mammoth bar; talk to any pro strongman that's done it in comp and they'll tell you it's a more difficult deadlift compared to a standard bar. The record for the mammoth bar is less than the standard deadlidt record for a reason

I prefer my power lifters grilled to raw.

[littlethuggie]

It's really just the next "deadlift bar"

[jimdo]

That was a funny joke by jhon!

He can't even stop laughting about it after the lift :D

[smokey_mk]

experience on equipment matters. It's his first time using that bar. Of course he's not going to be as good on it as his texas deadliftbar.

[KaokashinPlays]

Depends a little on your technique. That being said it much more likely that John missed because 1. He isn't peaked for a max deadlift 2. He didn't feel the need to fight for a max effort lift

[justdeadliftbro]

Not easier from the start maybe, but I think given enough time to practice, everyone will lift more with a whippier bar.

[valentinocozzi]

0:44 what makes you think that? 422 is still really heavy and probably wasn't peaked nor planned, so we can't jump to conclusions

[drewbob]

Seems to me the noodle bar almost makes a heavy rep a partial rep. 🤷‍♂

[mittarimato]

4 kg off competition PR with strange bar off-season. "Not necessarily easier", cope :D

[kostisth]

you know what an off season is, right?

[KaiserMoC]

I believe that the bar is too long. The weight distribution at that length increases the centrifugal weight ratio from balance to not in balance. Also supination of the left arm make it dangerous to do so, also the angle of pronation upon lifting changes the muscle structures being used.
The whole idea is not thought out. In fact, a shorter bar wins the day.
Just my opinion 😉👍

[danielevans]

Goes to show that he is not peaking! Come on bro, you should know this.

[importantstuff]

What kind of Mammoth Bar was this? I doubt the American barbell one had such a massiv flex?

[mrmackeyjr]

he just didnt know how to use the noodle. I bet 1000lbs was in there

[Jolly-Green-Steve]

The bar was still rolling back when he pulled the second lift that is probably why he missed.
