Happy birthday Luke, good outlook mate your head is in the right space, you'll get there, destined for strongman greatness definitely. good Evan can come over here and feel at home, nice one Hick's great video.
Agree with Andy Black there. Train the hardest variation and all else feels easier. Might not work ALL the time, but it sure works for me at the moment.
Great to see Luke talk because I'm going through the same at the moment with a bicep tear so although his words are true and it's right deep down he will be getting pissed off like myself not being able to train properly but we all have to listen to our body when there's damage.
I would have had a day out up to Morecombe if I knew you had evan at your gym , you don't get to see many american strongman in the uk other than at giants live when you have to stand in line at the end of the night to see them . I always leave as I feel really awkward that you have to stay after doing an event to smile and wave at us ordinary folk ! Haha .
@@kacpperkacpperowski3496 Hicks has mentioned that he doesn't want the vaccine so maybe he still can't get to the US. Not sure if they still require people to have it but I would assume that's the main reason if so.
Great job on the 400 for 3 Graham. I noticed you held the weight for several seconds at the top of the lift before you pulled the next 2 reps. Was that to just to feel the weight in your hands ? Great fun watching you train with the other stringmen
I feel with Luke. Had knee surgery myself in Nov and only started squatting again 3 weeks ago. 80kg for 5 sets of 10 never felt so rough. Glad to hear he's taking it well and is taking things smart and steady.
For some weird reason, the last 4 minutes of video disappeared! It's all just black screen now with no sound. Those two younger guys doing curls has completely disappeared. Any idea what's up?
You don’t. I don’t think you need to ‘build up’ to weights like ppl used to. Listening to Darren Sadler and a few others I think the penny has dropped for them. Less is more. On Andy boltons podcast he said he had 5 weeks off and did a hugely increased pb.
Great to see Luke back in a gym. And great to see him with a big smile on his face.
Good stuff buddy! I don't know how you play around with 400 kg like that, but the intensity of that environment definitely helps!
Thanks mate. My deads feel so good at the moment. Next milestone is 420x3 I think
@@TheDeathstag Yes sir, I need to get some strongman on the podcast!
@@TheHixxy1985 420 for a triple is absolutely ridiculous! Best of luck to you brother!
@@PeteRubish that would be great
Andy black is so massive. can’t wait to see Luke back competing with the lads.
Great to see Luke in the gym, lifting or not!!
Hes such a nice kid man I think the world of him
Evan always brings the highest level of intensity
yea was gonna say that, hes becoming my fav strongman just for that fact.
It's pretty mad how he switches it on
Happy birthday Luke, good outlook mate your head is in the right space, you'll get there, destined for strongman greatness definitely. good Evan can come over here and feel at home, nice one Hick's great video.
Nice to see Evan relaxed and secure
I'm. So hyped for the sportsmanship and comradery in strongman sport. For me that makes it the most exiting sport!
Can’t wait to meet some of you in Cardiff in August.
I Love you GUYS.God bless you.
Never realised you had a channel. Great work and great content, your channel should get much bigger!
Hopefully it grows....if it does I can do it more....
Great bunch of guy, awesome to see Luke positive, really good video 👍🏻💪 Evan is so infectious I've got a bit of a man crush 😆

Every time I see Grahm and Andy at the stones I hear Andy saying “Let’s go B!” Lol 😂
Haha Andy loves Brian shaw
Good to see Hicksy perfecting the Belsak Bounce :-)
Great video, thanks
My fave part of the video is where Evan is trying to understand wtf Andy is saying! 2nd fave part is the crazy 400kg lifts 😄
Haha 1st time I met Andy I had no clue what he was saying
Your all amazing keep going well done!!

Andy bro 💥
Good vid Graham. Enjoyed it. Your DL looking very strong!
Thanks. Feels good thankfully
Quality vid with the lads
Phenomenal
Man at some point we’d love to see you break that 400 for reps record legit with the right peak no doubt you could do 9
I will do it one day.
Big Guy
Great vid.
Thankyou

@@TheHixxy1985 nice one , it's only 2 hrs to get up there. Bet the view isn't as good as your sea front view !!
Are you going to compete in Shaw Classic? If yes then I can see you hit Hummer Tire record😂
Unfortunately I am not. Few reasons tbh just a very bad time I my calendar
@@TheHixxy1985 sad to hear... But good luck in rest of prep for Cardif😁, more than 1000lbs will be there on day

As if you left Luke Richardson out of the intro with Evan and andy!
Think he was eating lol
That was rediculously easy!
Thanks!

No I always breath at lockout and hold it till next lockout
T-rex at competition you have AC?

You sometimes have no choice. But he's young and has great ppl around him
How’s the groin feeling when deadlifting now? Looking meaty AF
Groin is doing great. I just squatted 300x3 easy with no pain so it's finally letting me free to lift shit lol
@@TheHixxy1985 300 x3
Oh is that all? 😆
For some weird reason, the last 4 minutes of video disappeared! It's all just black screen now with no sound. Those two younger guys doing curls has completely disappeared. Any idea what's up?
Yeah we have no idea hoping to fix it asap
Oasis tunes on!
Don't go away.
We have loads of random songs go on.....never notice most lol
Nice bideo
Bhanks
How did you keep your deadlift strength up if you haven't done heavy deadlift since last May
I kind of didn't really
13weeks ago I was deadlifting with 170kg
@@TheHixxy1985 Damn that's a quick return on gains !

@@mark4lev true but taking months off usually takes awhile. I actually train each lift once every 3 weeks and it's been a game changer
Hicks can break Rauno Heinla'a 400 kg for reps deadlift WR
Maybe, but the way Rauno was manhandling 425kg the other day I think he could do 400x8 right now.
Touch and go is very different
I defo had 5 here
@@TheHixxy1985 yeah rauno even said it himself that it's touch & go and shouldn't be compared to other recent lifts like Larry's 420x3
Evan has got to slow down!!!! He has so much potential but I think he has to dial it back some.
Fancy the 400 for reps WR?
1 day maybe yeah
Evan is NOT 6’ 6”, he’s lucky to be 6’ 3”
475 is there on the day tbh
Hope your right
join the 1000 pound club hicksy 💪🏻
Thats the plan
For even. Arms are just hooks relax them mate your bending than and and pop somthing
Jesus Hicksy!
You could gey demonetisation for Evan's warmup.
It's not right.
Lol need pg warning for him lol
It's cute that Evan thinks he's into metal. 🤣
Lol I can't possibly comment iv no clue
Mister Hicks, why do you do the lock of your belt at your back?
It's too stiff for me in the front. Pinches
