I met Graham at the Arnold’s uk. Asked him for his top tips and he told me the importance of longevity. Since then I stopped ego lifting and the small constant incremental gains have really started to add up. Best advice I’ve ever had
That third rep is the first time I have ever seen you not lift it like it's a bag of groceries, and that's at FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE FUCKING KILOS!! You're an absolute machine mate! Are you going to hit a target then taper off back down a bit and come back again for Las Vegas? Just curious because you're getting to/at the weight bracket where it doesn't matter how strong you are but will seriously affect your CNS and recovery will take longer, meaning less training
Yeah third rep was off line you can see the weight shift when I put it down. I'm happy with my strength I believe with a proper deload I'm capable of 505 so goal is to maintaine where I'm at
@@TheHixxy1985 brilliant mate! I'm so desperate for you to do the 505, that's why I'm always asking questions on all your videos! If 430-440 is a good weight to maintain at I will believe you 100%, you make it look an absolute doddle! I'm a worrier, so I'm always worried about your recovery at these insane weights, does it take long to recover after a heavy set like this?
Last time round you were very close to 505kg, this time that set was faster more comfortable and you’ve got an extra 6 weeks of prep. You’re absolutely in the right place to do it this year
You're first rep looks amazing now! Crazy how strong you are, man. I really believe you can do it. Stay the course and stay healthy. Can't wait for Las Vegas.. it's gonna be your day in history
Wow, sterling work Hicksy. I think you are well on track for the 505 and are just looking so strong with just a great approach to it all too. Good luck
No messing about , put the weight on , pick it up , pure power, great lesson for all of us too as you give the warm up weights just as much respect as the heaviest , good luck and stay healthy
Wow...that 431 x 3 looked smooth! Had to grind out the third a bit but you still had some in the tank! Can't wait to see you at the Deadlift World Championships!
I love Graham, but imo, no can do 505 unless its years off and your name is Eddie Hall. Graham is the best deadlifter around but this record wont be broken in comp for a while.
@@mrtholland2 he got 505 off the ground last year with a sub optimal peak, and he is looking even stronger now with 12 weeks left and and he hasn't peaked yet... eddie had only done 460kg in training prior to pulling 500kg, I think it's there if the stars align.
@@mrtholland2 Thor could do it Raw, damn Thor could probably pull 530+ ahah if he reallllly pushed it but thats unlikely - I believe in Hicksy, and Rauno but not so much the others
@gotzvonunentberlichingen1452 that's because they each training for different competitions. Gram wants to break Eddie's in competition record of 500 and thor's out of comp 501. Thor trained for the 501 with a suit. Also gram is at least 100lbs lighter than thor. If gram pulls 505 it would be insanely impressive.
Ok went back to watch the older video 430 for 3 I am convinced he is extremely close right now to the strength required. Especially comparing the first rep I said i believed he 'could' pull 505. I now believe he will. He has looked in much better shape and already stronger with more time out I wonder did he really believe he was going to pull 505, or was it more coming from hope? This is the confidence of a man that will pull 505. I was convinced Thor would pull 501 even before his triple with 440, but that made it for me very likely Getting that feeling now with Graham Awesome
Thanks to all the commentators who insult the training partner with tough love, no jealousy, no ill will, just pure love, he doesn't know what he's doing, he must have lifted one or two times before, we all lift heavier.
Good job. Controlling the downside part of the lift is key to hold the pulling line. You are on track. I think you can lift 505 kg on day X. Just watch the little signals of your body and react properly to them. If you feel you need a day more to recover just listen to your body. Plan smart and stay healthy. Collect yourself for day X. You can do it.
Not sure what is better in my eyes, Thors 440x3 Suited etc, or Eddies 420x4 no suit or belt... Either way I think if you get close to or match Thors 440x3 you've got the 505 in the bag for sure.
Great lift as always Graham. You have so many people believing in you. Keep pushing. Have to agree with some of the comments, the other guy needs to work on his form rather than hitching like that. Personally I wouldn’t be wearing a deadlift l suit at 220 but everyone is different. 505 incoming!
If you stay injurey free and dont burn out you stand a great chance. If you do it and its huge task it will be a much better lift than Eddie's or Thor's your about 40kg lighter. Good luck in Vegas !!
Based on you pulling heavy every 2 weeks, you have 5 heavy sessions left. Is that correct? Or are you planning to pull heavy even less frequently from now on?
Just offline I wouldn't say struggle. Pulled 430x3 last year much harder and did an easy 470. Formulas don't exist for these types of weights in my opinion
wear full length tights instead of shin guards and shorts... wont get stuck on the shorts... cuz u wont have shorts... just pants!! it's the shorts that slowed you
What everybody should do in the off-season? So close to competition I like to focus on embracing my strongest positions for maximising points. Currently 10 days out from the heaviest u90kg show in history!
I’m really close to a comp which is 290kg for reps where I want to hit 5 for a PB. I’m not strong enough yet to hit 290kg clean, so I’d rather practice the technique I’ll use near comp.
Simply to give myself a better shot at 290kg x 5 in the heaviest u90kg show in history next weekend. I need all the points I can get haha. Confident on the 5 other events but need to build confidence dialling in the skill. Tune in, you’ll be impressed with my 5 other events 👍
this guy with the shiny pants.. hoooly fuuuuu. Veeeeery strong hixxy!!!! Do you think you would beat peiman in a max deadlift competition this year? I think at the moment he could be the strongest deadlifter in the world.
19:53 the 505 attempt was ruined right there. In the months prior to a 480kg+ lift every rep should look smooth, close to a speed rep.
Love the realness of serious training with little dialogue. Like old school Blood and Guts Dorian Yates

Looking great Hicks, enjoying watching your progression.
I'm getting excited for you! Smashing it Graham, f..king excellent!
Waiting for next film😁
Awesome deadlifting to watch. Very motivating
He's looking better than hafthor right now. Not better than 501 hafthor yet, but this guy is getting strong strong.
True. But I expect Thor to smoke 455kg raw next week. Thor's strength peaks very hard
Well Hafthor is doing all these raw and Graham is wearing a suit.
Haha equipped

Its nice to see you doing so well. The work is showing itself. Stay healthy and go pull the weight.
Thankyou
Slow and steady hixxy and 505 will come.
You're doing great, stick with the programme.
😊
Hicksy needs to pursue records. His potential and static strength are extraordinary. 505 deadlift and after the log record and axle press record.
I definitely have yet to reach my potential in my opinion
Top Man...Stay healthy!
Nicely done Gray-ham
Animal! All the best, big man.

Very good session. Exciting to watch such progress! But remember to not to rush for us fans, dial back if you need to.
WOW ..power is on 💪
That did not look like a PB, that's incredible, you're going to make it.
Wow !
What an accomplishment!
Great work!
World elite!
If you 350 for reps and build up again it would be cardio at this strength utterly amazing. cant wait to see you back to full shows.
Keep smashing it Hixxy, that first rep flew up 💪👍
Yeah it was very comfortable
Not sure what is better in my eyes, Thors 440x3 Suited etc, or Eddies 420x4 no suit or belt... Either way I think if you get close to or match Thors 440x3 you've got the 505 in the bag for sure.
You are so capable of doing 505kg. Amazing! 💪🔥💯
Great lift as always Graham. You have so many people believing in you. Keep pushing.

Thanks. Josh works both forms hes very intelligent and I have alot of respect for him people just don't understand his logic as only seeing snippets
Insane lift
Exciting times ahead 💪👍
Amazing as always, Any plans to go for the log record after you smoke 505?
Maybe
If you stay injurey free and dont burn out you stand a great chance. If you do it and its huge task it will be a much better lift than Eddie's or Thor's your about 40kg lighter. Good luck in Vegas !!
Incredible strength.
I can feel the power when big hicksy gets roaring before a lift
Starting to up the pre lol
i did 43.2 for reps yesterday get on my lvl!
Did i see that well,do you color your toenails?
Please mention deadlift program for progress
💪 next 450 for 2
Based on you pulling heavy every 2 weeks, you have 5 heavy sessions left. Is that correct? Or are you planning to pull heavy even less frequently from now on?
Less for sure
Im always surprised how few warmup reps top deadlifters perform. Anyone know why? Doesn’t the lumbar need more blood flow?
Scary power ❤
Nice it looked much easier than your 430 triple from last year
mind blown
🤯
You definitely had 4 in you. Looking at last years video you didn't have 4 in you. Looking great!
Josh your making me wince as you bend your arms to hitch up the rep. Especially after detaching by bicep on a deadlift 😢
Thanks for the concern mate. 290kg x 5 is a goal in 10 days in comp. Only way I’ll be able to do it is by dialling in my hitch!
@StrongmanCoaching OK pal no worries thanks for the reply regards Dean
Looking good for 505 🙌🙌🙌
So 3 at that you’d expect he could hit around 480kg, 3rd one was a bit of a struggle.
3 at 450kg and he’s getting closer
Just offline I wouldn't say struggle.
Pulled 430x3 last year much harder and did an easy 470.
Formulas don't exist for these types of weights in my opinion
431 for 3... This is crazy!!!
Mister Hicks, dont you use a soft bellt?
Not with a suit
wear full length tights instead of shin guards and shorts... wont get stuck on the shorts... cuz u wont have shorts... just pants!! it's the shorts that slowed you
Shorts mate but bar landed slightly away from me so was off line
Speed on point. 450 next?
Thankyou
In prime now
Do you ever get called for soft knees?
Why would I.
That Me Straight
STAY HUNGRY!!! EVERY MINUTE EVERY SET. Nothing to celebrate yet. If you think there is, youre done. SHOCK. THE. WORLD.
440x3 was in the tank
505 in the bag
Let's see
I believe Graham pulls 505kg's
Thumb up 👍
Admittedly, I'm skipping through the video so maybe I'm missing something but wtf is that form at 16:30
Dialling in the technique I’ll need for comp next week with 290kg x 5
the 4th rep would have sucked but it would have gone up
Not if the line was better. Just bounced away on 3rd
@@TheHixxy1985 I assume you're deloading for a week or 2 soon before building back up to peak?
440 x 3 in 2 weeks?
What's your current cycle?
Maybe hixxy's training partner should work on finding a more efficient deadlift form for himself in the off season.
What everybody should do in the off-season? So close to competition I like to focus on embracing my strongest positions for maximising points. Currently 10 days out from the heaviest u90kg show in history!

Just showed this video to my 3 yr old daughter and she said 'is that Taylor Swift?'. Anyway I was impressed, seriously bloody good
I will take that lol
Fuck yeah
Why do the other guy lift like that? Thanks for the video.
Within the rules
I’m really close to a comp which is 290kg for reps where I want to hit 5 for a PB. I’m not strong enough yet to hit 290kg clean, so I’d rather practice the technique I’ll use near comp.
There a wild and savage man in the uk pulling ridicoulus weight.....
A thru silverback
Haha thanks
That 410 was absurd
😮
Josh Halford? Looks like he came straight from a Judas Priest concert.
Ooo look at me i can lift weights from the floor 😂
Can put them bk too
Solid work. I guess for your confidence you are gonna wanna hit 500kg in training before you go and attempt the 505kg in Vegas?
No maybe 470 max
Good luck mate. I'm from North West England and we are all rooting for you. 🤟
That hitching from his training partner is horrible to watch. Why go as heavy if you can’t pull it without hitching
Yea he should go back to basics!!!
Because it’s allowed in strongman. And he has the technique down.

Compare his bodyweight to Eddie Hall when he got the 500kg, you need to balloon ip to get the records

Painted toenails seem to correlate with deadlift strength here. Time to steal gfs' stash and hit some pb!
Told my daughter I need them for vegas lol
2 rep on 450 next time😃👌
505 will fall
If you do not pull first and say Rauno hits 505 will you go 510
No 505 is the number
