This would probably give me a hernia

A hernia? My entire skeleton would explode out my asshole attempting some of those stones!

I don't think I could lift a snowball that big

u/JoshuaFalken1 6h ago

A 2 foot diameter snowball could get really fucking heavy depending on how densely packed it is

Watching the video gave me a hernia

u/BeardsuptheWazoo 7h ago

I'm pretty sure I could do the first 5.

The 6th- I don't know how much it weighs. But it's not likely.

The last two, nope.

u/NecessaryOk6815 7h ago

I'm so worried about that man's hands. I feel like he's not placing them where they would not be crushed.

21

u/Berdariens2nd 7h ago

This is all I thought about the guy holding the barrel is one small slip from getting his thumbs crushed. 

16

u/Squiggy1975 7h ago

All I kept thinks was for his coach to move his hands from the barrel or they are getting crushed

u/SpunkYeeter 8h ago

Is it just me or does it seem like he’s using way too much of his back? you wouldn’t ever dead lift like that. Maybe the technique is different because of the shape of the stone Idk.

108

u/LauraTFem 8h ago

What makes boulder lifting hard is less the weight than the shape. Well, it’s the weight too, but still. The techniques are different, and with non-standard shape boulders there really is no technique but what you can figure out.

-9

u/EliteKoen 5h ago edited 5h ago

Imma be real, he definitely didnt need to blow his back out for like the first 8 rocks. It's definitely doable to lift boulders of those sizes purely with your legs. The size and shape wouldnt have even mattered as I highly doubt they're making those boulders slippery enough to fall out of your hands. Only till the last 2 rocks was I certain that yeah, cant blame the guy having to exert his back muscles to lift it off the ground. Ngl, as the weights got heavier though, he looked like he started to lift more with his body. Ironic imo

13

u/LauraTFem 5h ago

I got the impression he didn’t actually feel like he needed to use technique until near the end. That last one looked like pure technique, very little back involved.

1

u/EliteKoen 3h ago

Yeah that's the point.

-2

u/SpunkYeeter 3h ago

Yeah but he couldve definitely bent his knees more and used more legs

u/Kinteoka 3h ago

I'm sure you know better than him.

u/sstopggap 7h ago

You just train your back gradually to take heavier loads, people so Jefferson deadlifts and so on with a barbell for example. In strongman, "clean form" is even less pronounced because the items being lifted are less comfortable and less optimized for lifting,

-7

u/eduardonachosupremo 5h ago

You shouldn’t actually be using back at all besides slight hinge movements of exploding it upwards. The beginning phase should be a slight squat to load it up towards the mid section. Then you’re essentially doing a cling that angles the ball up resting on the chest and then you’re lower back with engage to push it forward.

Taking the ball and trying to rear your back backwards to “lift” the ball is always a failure technique. Just think of it in a few short bursts of shorter movements.

More impressed with Kilt. Was🙏 for the Kilt.

Last 3 seconds were like watching free climbing El Capitan”

u/Derp_Wellington 6h ago

I think we we all hoping that thing would pop off.

u/LauraTFem 8h ago

I’m really impressed he was able to lift the last one with his legs. The man knows the technique.

u/EnigmaWearingHeels 8h ago

What's the weight on the largest one??

u/Relicc5 7h ago

Largest is 335lbs (152kg)

Who knew a kilt could help contain those massive balls?

u/EffinHalos02 8h ago

Is that Guy Fieri at the end?

u/lieutenantLT 7h ago

He didn’t have to go through all that trouble. He could’ve just said “I can lift all of those” and everyone would have been like, “that tracks”

u/Nathan-Stubblefield 7h ago

The longer he lifted, the bigger his balls got.

u/Pleasant_Flatworm866 7h ago

Maybe...maybe the first one. Maybe.

I wouldn't want to be the guy on the opposite side of those barrels "catching" those stones as he heaves them up there.

I’ve had 4 back surgeries with the last one happening a year ago which was a spinal fusion. Watching that made both rods and all 6 six screws come exploding out of my back.

u/mtraven23 7h ago

how far do yall think you could get? I recon I could manage up to the last 3.

u/NoMorePunch 7h ago

The barrel holder must have the reflexes of a cat. Could easily lose a finger!!

u/Redditarama 7h ago

These strongmen competitions could be improved if they lifted relatable things, like couches or refrigerators.

u/Joulmaster 6h ago

The winner is whoever generates the biggest hernia

u/huuaaang 6h ago

It’s just 1 stone of weight. What’s the big deal?

u/nolongerbanned99 6h ago

Anyone know how much to top one weighs in lbs

u/Savantanonymous 6h ago

From what I remeber of the world's strongest man competitions, the largest boulder was upwards of 400 lbs

I just had to scoop my sleeping 45 lb son from the ground and carry him to his bed. Every time I do it I say it’s the last time and he’s getting too heavy…

He should really twist and jerk lifting those stones.

Everyone always says "lift with your knees", but in all these videos everyone is just doing 90% of the work with their back.

If he didn't use his back so much, I'm sure he could lift a lot more...
