@CALEB EPPLEY yeha the pices really fell into place for me after seeing him saying you shouldn't deadlift and then him saying he was doing deadlifts for 2months and tried to lift a car
He said he dead lifted for 2 months only before trying to deadlift a car. He also said if you're not a pro, you shouldn't be max deadlifting. Listen before u question
@CALEB EPPLEY clearly he wasnt, I didnt say he was. Hitting max deadlift weight is destroying bodies. It's all over the internet and youtube. I should know this, I'm a massage therapist and wellness coach. Fact is there are safer movements out there to hit the same region. Max deadlifts are for pros not average gym bros. The risk to reward ratio is too low
@CALEB EPPLEY I can name world class athletes who tore biceps, herniated discs etc from deadlifting. It's actually quite naive to think you cant get injured from a movement even if your form is perfect. Shows how young you are. Plus you're right, I am weak. I stick to 495lbs 5x3. No need to impress anyone. Fitness is a personal journey
My cousin f!$ked up his knee playing hockey from elementary school through college. At least half the time he sneezed, his kneecap would just move out of place. Happened more than once while we were out drinking. Alex R.I.P. 1968-2010
For anyone who doesn’t know about wsm Oberst’s highest finish is 8th... just think about how good the other guys are. I doubt he will ever win it tbh but the guy is a monster
His wiki says he is 6'8" 380. So yeah hes pretty fucking enormous. My brother is 6'3"ish and 300 and hes just huge. Cant even imagine how big this Robert guy is in person.
I almost tore my achilles while listening to this guy back injury. I've had people close to me who were incredibly strong with back injuries, and they never heal, they're my biggest fear as injuries go
@@themike97_58 oberst isn't the most reliable source tbh. Deadlift is a great exercise, but obviously if you're going for a world record injuries can happen
Deadlifts aren't worth it at all in the long run imo. I used to deadlift all the time. Then I herniated 3 discs in my back and am 6 weeks out of surgery. It's been almost a year since I got to do anything besides twiddle my thumbs and play video games. That being said, yeah my form was probably a little off, but no ones form is perfect when theyre going for a 1-2 rm. And thats when injuries happen
@@nicolaperin3817 the amount of weight isn't what's important. It's the amount of weight the lifter can handle. Me maxing out my deadlift is just as dangerous as Robert Oberst even if he can lift a lot more than me.
my legs have been "numb" for 5 years. feels more like they are asleep mixed with frost bite. its a terrible feeling. wouldnt wish my back problems on the devil.
@@antivegan5881 i wish. i use to sled over 1k lbs in high school. it happened about a mnth or so before my 35th bday. woke up to go to work, leg started acting funny. went to the local ER like 5 or 6 times between both legs going numb and me pissing my self. took a local clinic Dr to steal my medical records and call me at home, told me to go to the other, better ER asap or i could roll over and be paralyzed. still have no 100% answer as to what happened. i ended up with a bruised spinal cord, 4 rods 16 screws 2 fake disc and 9 fused/decompressed vertebra. 5 years later im still no better off than i was before it all happened. shit ruined my life.
I feel bad for guys like this. As strong as the muscles are, the ligaments and tendons arent increasing in strength. Nobodies knees are meant to carry 440lbs, whether its fat or solid muscle. No heart is made to oxygenate 440lbs of tissue. I hope that when he retires hes able to drop 100. Hes still going to be a giant compared to most of society.
Misty as soon as he decides to be healthy, his body will change ridiculously quick, first of all because his body knows it needs to drop weight, and second he has so so so much muscle, and muscle does what? It improves your metabolism, it becomes faster, and considering this guys intense workouts, and work ethic. It will be a walk in the park, I'm sure he loves his food though, but at his weight, he could cut on 7 - 8k calories.
Your body has a great thing called adaptability people swim, sprint, climb, bodybuild, power lift, do futbol, football and so on your body can do crazy things
@@mjwbulich your right he is but saying your body isn't capable or built for evolution is crazy, before anyone takes me out of context I'm a elaborate on why I said evolve, your body can be put into so many diffirent scenarios and adapt to them your body evolves over time to be able to perform the actions that it has been placed to do, unfortunately strong man competitions do take a toll but are doable
Try training with a hurt knee. Feels like you're only using one side of your entire body. I can't believe Derrick Rose can still dunk. Dude busted everything in both knees.
Had an uncle that slipped and fell on the concrete carrying half a semi frozen beef. Got up took 2 fingers of copenhagen and finished his shift. 30 years late had an xray. He had broken his back and continued on with life.
Relatable. Was olympic lifting and trying to get to nationals. Was 180lbs 0r 83kg Being trained by an Olympic competitor and national professional. Was doing sets of cleans at 3 reps. 3rd set second rep... pop... couldn’t breathe, hurt to move, got my spine decompressed by the coach went home, couldn’t walk or move for 3 days, 4th day got up started slow and started working out again. About 2 months later i tweaked it and went to the orthopedist, said it was muscular nothing to worry about. Kept training for two more years with non stop back pain and clicking. Finally went to the doctor demanded and MRI, got one and turns out I had two herniated discs, one bulged disc and a cyst that formed on the thoracic part of the spine. That orthopedist said its fine don’t worry about it will heal. Went to one of the best orthopedic spine surgeons to get a cortisone shot in the vertebrae, and he told me what the other doctor said was BS. He said he was surprised I never hurt myself worse than what happened and surprised they healed while still doing heavy lifting. Crazy ride it has been.
I hurt my back while squatting and lost the ability to lift my left leg off the ground. Went to the doctor, had xrays, MRI's, everything. They come back and said they can't find anything wrong. Whatever happened fixed itself after a few months but I still have pain in that side of my lower back.
I pinched my sciatic nerves snowboarding and the pain was unbearable and immediately couldn't walk. He finished the competition and kept training. I'm speechless.
I did strongman for 3 years, in those three years I managed to get a calf DVT and damaged my lower back, and neck. Few years later I still have back pain, I suffer from migraines and can't afford further doctor appointments. All they fed me was pain killers and blood thinners for months.
Neural Tech don't listen to that shit lol I think Robert has a lying problem. Does this make sense to you? Every other strongman starts out usually with a 315-405 deadlift, and they build it up over their life to 900-1000 lbs. Robert starts out with a 800lb deadlift and a nearly 400lb overhead press with no training before hand? Alright lol. And yet that's him before training yet his lifts are almost still those same numbers
Colton Krum did you not even listen? You're calling me a dumbass yet his words are "I had only started deadlifting 2 months before, I had never really deadlifted before"
@@PlutoTheGod well deadlifts are a lower body exercise and so if you are already strong on the squat you can start out deadlifting more especially when you have the size he has, do you really think a 400lb 6’7” dude is gonna start with 405. Gaining size and doing other exercises can increase deadlifts too. For reference my max deadlift fully fresh was once 355 and I hadn’t deadlifted for a year so you’d think I would have got much weaker, however my size increased and I got much stronger on exercises like rows and squats. One day I decided to do a deadlift at the end of a training session because my friend was doing them also so I decided to mess around and I managed to do 405. If it can work like that for me then for someone as strong as Oberst it will work on a much larger scale
I’m curious the attachments he used to “remove” scar tissue??? I’ve had so many injuries. My back, ankles, knees, and a rhomboid that never seems to heal. I have a dewalt skill saw. Please enlighten me. I can’t rehab in hospital. I’m a self employed stone mason.

Joe Max Fpv it's not a circular saw, it's like a jig saw. I think they have attachments for actual jig saws to be used for deep tissue massage. This breaks up the scar tissue.
Hey Joe. In a couple of week Ramsey Dewey will come near your studio. He is trainer in China actually and it would be a great oportunity to have him for a podcast with you. If you don't know the guy you should. Great teacher, analysing all style and martial arts with a unique touch of wisdom on TH-cam. A podcast with the two of you would be amazing.
Most of the strong man competitors are very personable and charismatic, but Oberst, has the most personality and is the best story teller by far. Perfect guy to talk about what it’s like to do that type of crazy shit. Respect brotha
I think a torn bicep is something I'm glad I wish never had happen to me. I keep hearing stories about it's pain and what you have to go through to recover. It's too much.
Great to see and hear people making huge come backs after a wicked back injury. I tore two discs deadlifting, healed them up with stem cells, I still have problems with sciatica. But at least Robert is big and strong. I'm 135. Yep,, don't do heavy barbell deadlifts unless you're gifted by God and Nature.
Tom H just to be clear. I love America, and I'm no where close to being wealthy. I have a co-pay of $3k every year on my health insurance. After paying the $3k for my MRI my insurance then covered 85% of the following back surgery I had, and whatever else happens for the rest of the year. I don't expect/look for the govt to take care of me/my family. All I'm saying is if I didn't have insurance I would've put off the MRI until I could afford it
Tom H You are already pitching in with your taxes first off. Second, you name me one company ran by the govt that is all about customer service. You take away the private sector in healthcare, you take away incentive. If every hospital gets paid the same for everything by the govt, why would they take any steps towards bettering the customer experience, research/development, etc? You'll end up waiting 10 months for a surgery (like the gentleman from Canada just commented about) instead of me waiting a week and a half for my MRI, then another 2 weeks for my surgery
Tom H I'm not trying to shit on you or tell you you're wrong. You probably make a lot more money than I do, pay way more taxes, and it's cool you want to help people out. We just differ in the way we would go about it
No, it's just deep massage. Like this: www.amazon.com/Exerscribe-Personal-Percussion-Massage-Gun/dp/B07GPXQTBR/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_121_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TP10MZCB39CWE6N7RQ6R
That deadlift story terrifies me. I hurt my back deadlifting and it’s really scary and painful. Like you can’t do shit. Mine wasn’t even bad. If my legs were numb for 2 months, I would have freaked the fuck out
you know what i use as a cheap hack for tightness on my quads i get a bakers rolling pin from kitchen and roll it on inner thigh and outer thigh and even roll my tricep on it. and i got a few golf balls i sit and roll my feet on.

I’m curious the attachments he used to “remove” scar tissue??? I’ve had so many injuries. My back, ankles, knees, and a rhomboid that never seems to heal. I have a dewalt skill saw. Please enlighten me.
I can’t rehab in hospital. I’m a self employed stone mason.

Joe Max Fpv it's not a circular saw, it's like a jig saw. I think they have attachments for actual jig saws to be used for deep tissue massage. This breaks up the scar tissue.
J Napier thanks brother. Appreciate the link!!
Robert is always entertaining.
Hey Joe. In a couple of week Ramsey Dewey will come near your studio. He is trainer in China actually and it would be a great oportunity to have him for a podcast with you. If you don't know the guy you should. Great teacher, analysing all style and martial arts with a unique touch of wisdom on TH-cam.
A podcast with the two of you would be amazing.
Hearing him talk about not getting treated due to lack of insurance makes me glad to be British and have the NHS.
doug clark this aged bad
@@deploysat43 Why?
doug clark the new party is taking away the nhs
@@deploysat43 Ah ok yes I am sure they will try.
"First rep 90% of what I had" LOL
I can totally relate to this guy when not having insurance an you get a bad injury an you can't do nothing about it sucks.
If the Arnold's and WSM stayed heavy, @shawstrength would of been at least a 6X WSM champ!!
Well, the Arnold’s is still heavy, but you’re right about WSM and Shaw
Most of the strong man competitors are very personable and charismatic, but Oberst, has the most personality and is the best story teller by far. Perfect guy to talk about what it’s like to do that type of crazy shit. Respect brotha
Eddie Hall is up there too
Eddie Hall + Brian Shaw are hilarious together. Please get them on the show!!!
Oberst is very entertaining. One of my favorites for sure.
Good to see bam margera finally getting well. Congratulations bam
I've done both distal bicep tendons, left and right. Its fucken horrendous, not the injury as it happens, but the repair and recovery.
Ya same but what done is done. It’s hard to be positive but what else is there to do. Once u gain functionality u become happy again
"It was almost like being baptized." Awesome
I think a torn bicep is something I'm glad I wish never had happen to me. I keep hearing stories about it's pain and what you have to go through to recover. It's too much.
Black and Decker Skillsaw to remove scar tissue? Attachments? What?
I was about to say am I the only one who is confused and mortified by that statement? Lmao
I was in the same boat shredded my knee didn't have insurance and 10 years later got acl, meniscus, and cartilage surgery
Jeez hope you are better… You should check knees overtones guy
I mean mine was from parkour and football but other than crepidious were all good
Bring Brian Shaw, love that guy.
Great to see and hear people making huge come backs after a wicked back injury. I tore two discs deadlifting, healed them up with stem cells, I still have problems with sciatica. But at least Robert is big and strong. I'm 135. Yep,, don't do heavy barbell deadlifts unless you're gifted by God and Nature.
I have the same problem, where did you get your treatment?

I just got an MRI on my back, it's $3k. If I didn't have insurance I wouldn't have done it either
Tom H just to be clear. I love America, and I'm no where close to being wealthy. I have a co-pay of $3k every year on my health insurance. After paying the $3k for my MRI my insurance then covered 85% of the following back surgery I had, and whatever else happens for the rest of the year. I don't expect/look for the govt to take care of me/my family. All I'm saying is if I didn't have insurance I would've put off the MRI until I could afford it
Live in Canada it was free but I had to wait 10 months till I got it
Tom H You are already pitching in with your taxes first off. Second, you name me one company ran by the govt that is all about customer service. You take away the private sector in healthcare, you take away incentive. If every hospital gets paid the same for everything by the govt, why would they take any steps towards bettering the customer experience, research/development, etc? You'll end up waiting 10 months for a surgery (like the gentleman from Canada just commented about) instead of me waiting a week and a half for my MRI, then another 2 weeks for my surgery
Tom H I'm not trying to shit on you or tell you you're wrong. You probably make a lot more money than I do, pay way more taxes, and it's cool you want to help people out. We just differ in the way we would go about it
Most places have a cash option if you pay then and there. Usually between $350-400. The scam is insurance increases the cost of healthcare
I thought he tore his bicep this year too but idk if this was live or prerecorded
i said woooww in unison with joe rogan, LMAO thats all you can say to that, "my back poped, and my leggs went numb" yeah thats hardcore
What did he mention for scar tissue at the end
Wait wtf was that ending? Did he do surgery on himself?
No, it's just deep massage. Like this: www.amazon.com/Exerscribe-Personal-Percussion-Massage-Gun/dp/B07GPXQTBR/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_121_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TP10MZCB39CWE6N7RQ6R
That deadlift story terrifies me. I hurt my back deadlifting and it’s really scary and painful. Like you can’t do shit. Mine wasn’t even bad. If my legs were numb for 2 months, I would have freaked the fuck out
Jig Saw, not Skill Saw

@@mrjackson5872 capitalizing every other letter is hands down the douchebaggiest thing to come out of 2018. Quit being a fag.
We he talks about feeling baptized, that really got me for some reason, hit me hard
That Hercules hold story is exactly why they make the contestants GTFO as soon as they're injured.
Exactly, so they don't kill themselves
you know what i use as a cheap hack for tightness on my quads i get a bakers rolling pin from kitchen and roll it on inner thigh and outer thigh and even roll my tricep on it. and i got a few golf balls i sit and roll my feet on.
Get Eddie hall on
Don’t need an mri for herniated discs. It’s precisely as he describes the symptoms. They never ever ever go away.
"You didn't get an MRI?"
"I had no insurance."
I thought Obama said we all have insurance
OBAMA?!!!!
Honest, funny and tough AF
