Your reaction on that last dead was priceless. Congrats on the world record man. P.s. I’ve been using your tips on building a program from your unfuck your programming series and it’s going amazingly so far. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us plebes!
you are just a beast - maybe you call Eddie to get his nickname ;-D I really want to thank for all your videos - especially your "let the pinky go for the squat grip" brought me so much improvement, coz I always suffered with too little shoulder support. Keep grinding, sir. cheers from Vienna Harry
anjoelsallas most feds only require hips and knees locked out and bar motionless. He was definitely upright so you could argue whether his back was locked out or not
Amazing effort, well done! Could you talk about your grip on the squat? I've not seen the pinky tucked in like that and was wondering if it is to help with anything specific, or just a quirk. Cheers!
Such an impressive total mate! How did you cut to 198 and be that huge?? 😂 what did you weigh on the day mate? I'm curious as too how far you have to drop down. Congratulations!!
His last deadlift should of been red lighted it was slipping out of his hand with a weak lock out but that's pl. Norris was clean and using sleeves so not even comparable but Ben is strong as fark.
Ben, it's hard to ignore the talk going around on TH-cam and r/powerlifting in regards to your final deadlift. Kind of curious what your thoughts are on it.
There is a meme floating around with oprah on it and it says "REEBOK RECORD BREAKERS , YOU GET A WR, YOU GET A WR" WHITE LIGHTS for everyone. I mean its not USAPL its an obscure meet and thats the rules they play by........ I would love to see him compete natty again in usapl and go to worlds but unfortunately a lot of people go this route.
Ben first well done mate massive achievement. another thing your quads are awesome .you get quads like that from generally back squatting for powerlifting or have you put specialist training for your quads?
One of my favourite fellas in the powerlifting community. What I don´t really understand is the "@198", he looks 225. How much weight can you cut before it affects you negatively?
Ben is a god at weight cutting lol offseason walks around at 230ish. This was a 24 hr meet so he drops lots of water and carbs leading up to make weight then eats amd drinks for 24 hours straight basically lol.
JMBBproject yup, these kids who just started lifting act think they are experts, I just ignore them, in a couple of years they will quit the gym and stop pretending to be lifters
I don't really know a lot about powerlifting so question... Is that guy spotting on the deadlift? If so why do you need a spotter on a deadlift, and if not, why is he there??
TheDave000 people have been known to fall backwards after all the blood rushes to your head, there are videos in it happening- it's funny but also kinda devastating for the lifters themselves
do you always pull conventional in meets? i saw some people on reddit mention you as one of the best sumo deadlifters but here you are using conventional lol?
at 1:18 the way your mouth moves exactly as the woman screams makes me laugh my ass off everytime :'D
hahah thank you for pointing that out.
Michael Fortini lmao
You made me notice this and now I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂
O I am LAFFIN
Lmfao thankyou for commenting that that's funny

Seeing you be very proud of that last deadlift made me so proud as well. Congratulations on setting a new world record!!!
That jumping hug at the end made the video even more epic :)
Great job dude!
2:55 the floating hug, best part of the vid.
Awesome display of strength, Ben, and congratulations on setting the 198 record! I didn't realize it was only a couple of weeks ago.
Well deserved, Champ! It was great to watching you work live 💪🏾
Lot's of work was put into achieving this. Nice work, nothing but respect.

Harry
Great lifting Ben
Congrats man!
600th like, bloody hell Ben, you have insane mental fortitude.
Very inspiring
Hell yeah congratulations man
Lol at that last deadlift. You were gifted that WR.
Ryan Turner he locked it out it was just way too quick a down command.
hips and knees locked out. the shoulders and back definitely did not.
anjoelsallas most feds only require hips and knees locked out and bar motionless. He was definitely upright so you could argue whether his back was locked out or not
josh Campbell yea, I assumed he only needed hip and knee lockout which is why the dead was good
hate to be a hater, but gotta agree
Congrats! Quad game on point!
the fact that those deads were double ovrhanded makes it even more impressive
Hook grip. Safer for the bicep to prevent tears Mr. Jones!
Hook grip, the unlimited grip.
cheatcode And now he's switched back lmao.
Congrats
thanks for showing if it was a good lift or not before the lift is shown....
Congrats awesome job
Amazing effort, well done! Could you talk about your grip on the squat? I've not seen the pinky tucked in like that and was wondering if it is to help with anything specific, or just a quirk. Cheers!
Takes stress off the wrists
Great job ben!!!
Felicidades y que tengas aun mas exito. Echale ganas
Really great lifter.
Go Ben! Absolute machine mate!
what a stud!!! congrats!!!
Man if you jumped up to hug me as you did at the end of the video, l woulda been way too scared to even react XD
How was 716 squat no lift?
awesome lifter, awesome personality, true lifting role model! daaamn man what a lifting machine!
Love that jump in the end! 😃
Such an impressive total mate! How did you cut to 198 and be that huge?? 😂 what did you weigh on the day mate? I'm curious as too how far you have to drop down. Congratulations!!
This is impressive.
Is the judge @ 2:25 stan efferding ?
Great work!!!!!
I think Jesse Norris will appear from the shadows soon.....
Jesse is jacked up right now unfortunately
congratulations. I cant wait to hit a 2000lb total
His last deadlift should of been red lighted it was slipping out of his hand with a weak lock out but that's pl. Norris was clean and using sleeves so not even comparable but Ben is strong as fark.
Have, not of.
Norris got knocked for failing a drug test lol
That was for a stim in his preworkout you donkey. He is not pinning his arse with grams of gear like pollack.
No you just suck
Does this count as equipped with the knee sleeves and suit? I honestly don't know.
BEAST
why does he need a spotter for deadlift though ? unles they only there if they pass out?
speechless to those squats!!!!!!!

Do you offer any online coaching?
Jesus, absolute monster. Incredible
What does it mean by 'raw'?
I know the man in the maroon shirt… Mr. Cloud is also my coach. I’m chasing the masters bench press record in the 242 class.
Ben first well done mate massive achievement. another thing your quads are awesome .you get quads like that from generally back squatting for powerlifting or have you put specialist training for your quads?
full beast mode on
LOL at all the keyboard powerlifters talking shit.

Love the powerlifting experts in the comments as well as on Instagram :D Good job Ben!
pdbre Funny how kids always try to compare pros when they did shit themselves.
JMBBproject yup, these kids who just started lifting act think they are experts, I just ignore them, in a couple of years they will quit the gym and stop pretending to be lifters
Why dont you wrap your pinky around the bar when squatting?
Damn!!! Know we are waiting for Jesse Norris
Hey ben good job!
Whats squat stance do you recommend for long femur athletes?
And now, the road to 1000kg.
Congrats man! Well deserved. How are you planning to fix that right knee shift in the squat?
Congratulations Ben! You're a Fucking Beast!Thanks for the tips and great videos! Keep it up.
Anyone know how tall Ben is?
why was the squat first attempt a "no lift"?
BEAST!
What was wrong with the first squat though, not deep enough?
MONSTER.
Haha, did anyone else think the yell at 1:18 was Ben yelling?
John Meda lol
How tall is he?
Amazing
I don't really know a lot about powerlifting so question... Is that guy spotting on the deadlift? If so why do you need a spotter on a deadlift, and if not, why is he there??
TheDave000 people have been known to fall backwards after all the blood rushes to your head, there are videos in it happening- it's funny but also kinda devastating for the lifters themselves
Amazing!!
only 198lb?
Amazing :D
And so cool to see the rhino as a judge hahaha
do you always pull conventional in meets? i saw some people on reddit mention you as one of the best sumo deadlifters but here you are using conventional lol?
why wouldnt you put your pinky around the bar for squatting?
Sam Gonzalez It can alleviate some elbow pain, it also allows you to go to a narrower grip without needing more shoulder mobility
all time wr in untested and quarter squats and soft knee deadlifts federations (y)
His second attempts outlifts ur total 3x
How old is this dude...?
Why is knee wraps raw?
Can anyone teach the breathing technique
Did you fall into the chalk before deads?
Baby powder on the legs, helps the bar travel up the thighs
Correct me if i'm wrong... but wraps don't fall under "Raw" , right?
strong as shit though!
Yeah i dont get it, he cant even walk properly with those knee sleeves
There are two separate "RAW" categories: RAW with wraps and RAW without wraps (with sleeves). Both categories have separate records.
Jonny Marshall interesting, thanks
Classic Raw is wraps. Raw is without. Only different between the two.
