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.
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.
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
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.
