Hicks doesn’t boast, doesn’t start/get involved with drama, doesn’t think he’s better than everyone else and doesn’t nearly get enough attention as he should as a strongman. No doubt he’ll pull 505 and couldn’t think of anyone else that deserves the right too.
Mr. Hicks, wait to scratch the itch, till you are at competition. You could easily become a LEGEND as the one pulling 505 kg first. You are SO close. Train hard, stay safe 👍
Been watching this guy all year. Everyone saying 50/50 - unless they replace the bar with spagetti he’s got 505. He’s a bloody good bloke - humble and kind and he’s gonna take the world
@@parisferguson8654Now I'd probably put Lucas Hatton in there too. And of course as you mentioned, key word "peak" Mateusz. I'd also add the word "peak" for Novikov right now. He is pretty beat up right now. Bobby Thompson also.
Mitch Hooper also has a PB over 470kg. But still, that is a very small group of athletes who have ever pulled that kind of weight on a standard deadlift.
I still think it's 50/50 at best but I really hope he does it. Lots of incredible guys tried unsuccessfully so it would truly be an incredible achievement.
@@johnsterizer You're talking about a specific situation regarding your view on Graham's attempt. I'm responding to somone saying that it is always 50 / 50 no matter what because there are only 2 possible outcomes.
Big Z at the top makes sense. I loved Pudz but he competed in the split IFSA era and maybe this is my memory as a child, the events then seemed to focus on power and speed as much as feats of strength. Pudz probably gets more fondly remembered because of his aesthetic too. Brian would be second for me, focused on detail and a real technician. Thor without a break in competing would be higher.
Pudz did have something like a 72% win rate or something. Big Z had something like 40 more wins, but he kept competing longer when he fell out of his prime and Pudz quit while still in his prime range. That being said Big Z is still number 1 for me.
Loz and Liz posted a video today that showed Pudz won 70% of the shows he entered. Not podiumed, won. That percentage is amazing to me. Maybe the most fit strongman of all time, relative to his contemporaries.
Its funny how absolutely no one mentions that Big Z also competed in the IFSA/WSM split. You do know that only IFSA athletes could compete in the IFSA World Championships.
As Lucy will be lifting on her own and by definition not in a competition i hope Giants Live refer to her record that she lifts as out of competition and not an official record. Im sure Eddie will agree with this
@@richardturrell1484 problem GL have they want an athlete that can push her and who is close to her max deadlift and unfortunately only Tamara Walcott is left and Victoria Long who is now retired
It would be great to see a 3rd 1100 lb lifter. However on the female side, there has to be a couple more 700 lb lifters because the male equivalent of 700 lbs is more like 1035 lbs.
@@jaket2274 Ok that would be fine, so like a guy deadlifting 1035 lbs. Also we should mention Rebecca Roberts has a best deadlift of 620 lbs, the female equivalent of 950 lbs(which ironically is Terry Hollands' best deadlift), she might be able to add 80 lbs to that since shes fairly young. Women's deadlifts are around 64-68% of mens because it uses upper/lower body.
Thor has admited he wants to attempt the record issue is who will allow to do it. Rogue have a history of no suited deadlift, WUS is dead. Unless he uses the promotion in his own country
Hilarious how much bigger Terry is Edit: also upon further watching it would be fkin hilarious to see Tom break the axel record with as much ease as he did with that axel in SMOE xD
Cmon Graham, we're all rooting for you. 💪

Let’s go Graham you can do it
C'Mon Graham, Can't wait to see you make history!!💪
Come on Hicksy! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I think he can do it
Mr. Hicks, wait to scratch the itch, till you are at competition. You could easily become a LEGEND as the one pulling 505 kg first. You are SO close. Train hard, stay safe 👍
In the words of uncle Loz, "He's got a chance!"
He does have a chance. I'd say maybe 50/50.
Cheers guys , great interview 💪
Camera angle doing Graham dirty here 🤣

love the nail polish hixxy, I can’t wait to come see you pull 505 in vegas soon!!
Giants Live, still waiting for Flintstone barbell lift! Mitch vs Tom vs Biby vs Novikov will be an insane battle
Peak kieliskowski and Kordiyaka too
@@parisferguson8654Now I'd probably put Lucas Hatton in there too. And of course as you mentioned, key word "peak" Mateusz. I'd also add the word "peak" for Novikov right now. He is pretty beat up right now. Bobby Thompson also.
The most likeable guy in strongman
Good Luck Graham!
Let’s go hicks 505kg you got this 🏆 🇬🇧 can’t wait
Graham 💪💪💪
Brilliant stuff
Just watching this video increased my deadlift PR by 20%
Terry looks like 30 year old me insisting on riding the teacups at the fairground
😂
Great vid!
Mitch Hooper also has a PB over 470kg. But still, that is a very small group of athletes who have ever pulled that kind of weight on a standard deadlift.
475 yea.
The chairs look like they need a ‘break’.. especially the one Terry is sitting in
They absolutely do😂
I still think it's 50/50 at best but I really hope he does it. Lots of incredible guys tried unsuccessfully so it would truly be an incredible achievement.
It is always 50/50....
When you go for it: you do it,or not...
@@Klepzeiker1984 That's not how probabilities work. I may or may not win the lotery if I go for it, 50 / 50 ?
No. You are 100% wrong. It's 50/50 at worst.
I think it's 90% of he don't get hurt before his chance

10:59 Terry's strongman career in a nutshell
Why don't you say that to his face 😂.
Graham you got this if anyone can do it’s brother I have know doubt 👍
38:34 Eddie pulled 450 for a 3x1 I'm pretty sure, and every rep was like him standing out of a chair
I remember Darren competing in WSM heats years ago... i didn't know he was still involved in the strongman world
he pretty much runs Giants Live behind the scenes
@jaket2274 Well he owns it on top of running it.
Oh very much so. He is very present and involved at every Giants Live show. He basically runs them.
Terry's hands like bunches of bananas 😂😂
*_GREAT 👏👏👏_*
Where do I place the bet for hixy to hit it? Let’s go.
Hicksy could really do this!
i know what im watching before bed tonight
great watch. @Giants live strongman Where is Rebecca Roberts pull? Thinking she's not at Lucy's level but not far away. 2nd best lady puller?
She is training for next comp
It’s got to be mental now, not physical. You believe you will lift 505 you will lift 505. The crowd will go nuts. Cmon Hicksy.
He's gonna make it look "easy"
2:55 Mitch Hooper pulled 475 in 2020 I think
Yeah was gonna say
Was that in comp though? Can't recall
💪💪💪💪
Get summer in for the women deadlift!
Is Lucy the only woman going to Vegas? Would her lift be considered an exhibition lift since she’d have no competitors?
No I think they allow more than 1 female at a time into the city
@spokeen6249 not true basically there isn't enough women that can really push Lucy
@@petershortland478 so they don't allow them into the city. Got it 👍
Vegas will be a sausage fest that weekend
@@petershortland478 you have no understood my satire. Re read my comment 😂
@spokeen6249 probably not 😆 🤣 😆 🤣 I finally worked it out
Seeing the DL world record increase is like seeing humans land on the moon. We are all rooting for you and its a great leap for mankind.
Anyone know how Wide Pavlo is doing after his car wreck? He would have been good competition also in deadlift champs!
Makarov failed 482kg recently in training, still very fast off the ground but his lockout isn't there
Makarov has been lifting off blocks lately as well, people saying it's progress when he has been doing the same every year.
Hey, guys. Just wondering where you bought those inflatable children's chairs? Seem very durable and high quality.

Sorry. Thought I was on Big Loz video, how odd
Its funny how absolutely no one mentions that Big Z also competed in the IFSA/WSM split. You do know that only IFSA athletes could compete in the IFSA World Championships.
Also Mariusz did have very good static strength. His deadlift was 400 KG when most strongmen had a 335 KG deadlift.
Add Lucas Hatton. You're missing one of the best log pressers
Looks like they have gotta stretch that budget for some bigger chairs for the lads Terry and Graham are gonna struggle getting out of them 🤣🤣
It's always entertaining 😂 we should include it in the video next time
As Lucy will be lifting on her own and by definition not in a competition i hope Giants Live refer to her record that she lifts as out of competition and not an official record. Im sure Eddie will agree with this
The difference is that it will be at a competition, she’ll be at the World Deadlift Championships 👍🏼
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Who's she competing against please in this championship? Who do you think will get 2nd place?
@@richardturrell1484 problem GL have they want an athlete that can push her and who is close to her max deadlift and unfortunately only Tamara Walcott is left and Victoria Long who is now retired
Mitch Hooper pulled more than 470.
505 kg will done this year by the man Hixy
Peiman from iran pulled 492kg
Holy crap guys gets in bigger chairs!

People keep calling names for female side Grenrich great lifter but not near Lucy's record, Gabi Dixson is possibly the closest
Gabi Dixon and Andrea Thompson could get it if they trained for it imo
@@jaket2274 Gabi has a deadlift in the 500s from my research, you don't get a 770 lb deadlift from that point
@@Vampire__Squid just 700 not 770

It's never happening. The only person in the next couple years that has a chance to pull over 500 is thor, if he even wants to
Thor has admited he wants to attempt the record issue is who will allow to do it. Rogue have a history of no suited deadlift, WUS is dead. Unless he uses the promotion in his own country
Mitch hooper dead lifted 475, sadler forgot that 1
Hilarious how much bigger Terry is

Sumer Johnson is half of Lucy’s weight and can pull just as much. Shoulda gave her a chance
Hooper did 475 a few years back
terry making it look like hes in a kids chair
Gram of tren Hicks
Get the lads some bigger chairs ffs 😂
Did he get divorced
Graham said about 5 words in 40 minutes.
Is Graham stoned?
Just very relaxed 😂
