@@gewggreg imo the thing that shows how intelligent he is with his training is when you look at how much lighter and smaller he is than the other top strongmen, but despite this he can easily hang with and even beat them. Every time he achieves something (like winning wsm or coming close second at 2019 arnold classic) people write it off as a fluke because he isn't as huge as the others, but the results speak for themselves.
@@THEchrisse95 that's what makes Martins so good. He is light enough for the dynamic events, but because of how smart he is in his training, he can still hang with the big boys in the static events. His deadlift is close to 1000lbs and he is arguably the best squatter (won the event easily last year but thor was injured)
Dorian yates always did it from just below the knees for deadlifts for the reason it save on the low back . martins is smart deadlifts all the time will fuck your disc up eventually. His training is spot on and ahead of the rest. You see guys like ronnie coleman it takes its toll. I like martin thinking.
I see now why the world's strongest men are so humble. It's impossible to train with that patience and self-restraint without a bucketload of humility. Most gym bros would think working with lighter weights isn't cool or impressive enough
Thank you for this video. Superinteresting to combine Squats and RDL and doing pause-work on difficult parts of the motion...I dont recover well from heavy deadlifts and heavy squats in the same week
i appreciate you and the content you put out. i've been wondering about this thing, maybe you can explain: how a strong man can pick a number that he is going to lift at a predetermined date? like if someone never deadlifted 501, how could he set a date for it?
I'm like 99% sure I would never be able to deadlift 1000 lbs no matter how I trained or what drugs I took. I got a skinny-ass skeleton. Probably would never get to 700 lbs tbh
Steroids, period. People who haven't been around steroids or taken them properly themselves have no idea the significant different in strength and size they contribute to a human being. If Hafthor was completely natural his whole career, that 501kg Deadlift would be more like a 350kg Deadlift.
@@prestonrichardson7894 it's not a partial deadlift, think if it as a traps exercise. But in reality it's a shitty one, just do snatch grip high pulls.
If you have the genetic talent and work ethic that these guys have, you probably don’t need a ton of drugs. There are a lot of mediocre lifters that are on tren, and a lot of people who have gotten very strong naturally.
This seems to be true as most drug tested power-lifting records for the dead lift are in 700-900 pound range, and don't seem to go up as you go up in weight-class past a certain point. Also All the great IPF dead-lifters don't break the 900lb barrier until they transition to untested leagues. Now of course PEDs by themselves won't get you there, but a genetic predisposition to strength + extreme work ethic + intelligent programming + PED , just might.
@Hamza Khan I wasn't comparing power lifting to strongman deadlifts. I was comparing tested (e.g. IPF) versus untested power lifting deadlifts. And you are correct straps, bar type, rules that allow hitching all make a difference. As do massive amounts of PEDs.
@@MajesticSkywhale Alot of people don't understand that lol, the difference even 5 lbs can make when you plateau and I mean REALLY plateau is astronomical.
Neal lmao most human males can get to 700+ on heavy PED and recovery protocol. Add in intelligent training mapped out year by year and there ya go, lol not sure about 1000 though haha
@@neal520 I'm 6'4" and currently 260lb. I'm seriously wondering, if I worked a couple more years and eventually went on a cycle, could I at least pull 1000 on a trap bar? (That's just usually the deadlift variant I do)
It annoys me how they claim hes the strongest man in the world when he cant deadlift over 1000lbs compared to hafthor or brian shaw who can do well over 1000lbs. They should make wsm focussed on maxing out in events instead of mobility or how many reps you can do at a lower weight . Means the smaller guys WITH LESS MUSCLE have the advantage
Then it would be more like a power lifting competition. Strongman was always about the combination of mobility and strength. The variety of the events define who can combine both aspects. There are already events where you have an advantage with more muscles and others where your mobility and stamina is more of an advantage. So don't talk shit about Martins.
martins is probably the smartest strongman out there. Everything he does is very meticulously worked out
Hotpander The pander no. brian is definitely the smartest
Brian is like this as well

@@None-zv2qk The lighter weight has a benefit on the moving events though. On static events you're better of weighing more.

The amount of dedication and patience is incredible. This is hard earned knowledge.
For Me, Zercher Squats are a Serious Deadlift Builder
They really help with low bar squats too when I had a problem rounding over due to weak back
They help for atlas stones, but also Pendlay rows help with the stones.
How do you do them safely? other than wearing sleeves?
Bare arms for me.
I can deadlift 1000lbs
with 800lbs of reverse bands
John West did that once. Then I woke up.
This guy is fascinating, could listen to him all day. Great insight to training
How to deadlift 1000lbs...dont deadlift for 6 months
this video is brilliant, exactly what i needed to know, i am a big fan
Thank you so much champ appreciate you're advice .stay strong and I know you will win another world's strongest Man 👍💪
He is strong man 2020 too.. Corona helped him..😁😁
These are gold Martins. So much information to digest but I think it's all super helpful and is going to help.
Dude, couldn't you have chosen a better photo for the thumbnail 😀😂😀 I luv it 😀

Thanks a lot!!

Awesome video! I am looking forward to watching the 1000lb pull someday soon!!! Good luck this year!
Love this kind of content. More please!!!
Next time show us fans some examples with the bar champ.. love the advise ...
Step one-become 500 pounds. Step two sets of fahve.
I'm surprised that strongmans don't always lift heavy all the time. Very humbling and intelligent.
Thank you for this video. Superinteresting to combine Squats and RDL and doing pause-work on difficult parts of the motion...I dont recover well from heavy deadlifts and heavy squats in the same week
Why does Martins loot so young and thin in these videos? How old are they?
This video was uploaded 3 months back
old video maybe filmed in 2019
He may not take that much sauce!
this is the guy you see at a new school that you automatically get scared of

eddie hall has said your deadlift is really just a leg press that ends with a hip thrust

His name was John Lee
@@Beeftitan I will always remember John Lee😇😇
The Answer is= You can deadlift 1000lbs with Power .
I'm so stupid years ago I thought romanian deadlift was the deadlift I didn't know there was another deadlift.
So interesting!!
Go for the 502k and then box JuJi and Tom 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

It shows me I know nothing yet. And I'm a personal trainer lol
Martins
Rack pulls are pointless 👌🏼
I agree
In every other exercise people hate half reps except for when it comes to rack pulls. Which is a half rep of deadlift
@@prestonrichardson7894 it's not a partial deadlift, think if it as a traps exercise. But in reality it's a shitty one, just do snatch grip high pulls.
@@prestonrichardson7894 board press? pin press? box squats? snatch pulls? rack jerks? partials are used all the time
@@milesorec6789 every one hate it cuz of ppl that do it to look strong
No way
I love martins but strongmen are almost never ever “real” about the drugs they use. You can’t reach a 1000 lb deadlift without some assistance...
Luke Cimino even with ped 99% still wouldn't get close.
If you have the genetic talent and work ethic that these guys have, you probably don’t need a ton of drugs. There are a lot of mediocre lifters that are on tren, and a lot of people who have gotten very strong naturally.

The real way to deadlift 1000lbs is...do powerlifting and strength for 10+ years. Lol
Well Martins has never deadlifted 1000 pounds so maybe this isn’t the way to do it lol
I swear the most Martins has deadlifted is 970lbs not exactly the most qualified them is he 🤫😂
Deadlift 1000? Well I'm at 660 so nearly two thirds of the way there.
Nah more like 1/3 of the way, the difficulty is logarithmic, but you're way above me lol so keep going dude!!
@@MajesticSkywhale Alot of people don't understand that lol, the difference even 5 lbs can make when you plateau and I mean REALLY plateau is astronomical.
How you can deadlift a 1000 pounds be at least 300 pounds plus a good steroid cycle and train constantly on steroids
you win @ comment :)
Even if you did that you would never come close to 1,000 pounds
You explain it to me then must be genetics lol you tell me how its done

thor was injured that year. still he is the world strongest man. WSM is about real world strenght not static lifting.
There's more to strength than the number on the bar. Strongman is not powerlifting.
NO THANKS, dont fancy another hernia
@Joseph S. Yeah, probably right as my name is Eddie 😁
