"Did they use tires to make the barbel look more impressive, since they're less dense than weights and therefore a larger tire is needed for the same poundage? Or is there a reason for it?"I'd imagine those tires are there for protection. So the floor doesn't get damaged when he drops those weights. |

"Did they use tires to make the barbel look more impressive, since they're less dense than weights and therefore a larger tire is needed for the same poundage? Or is there a reason for it?"I imagine they used the tires to lift the center (the bar) off the ground, making it easier for him to pick up just a teeny bit. Plus, it looks more impressive. I guess. |

@moefreak "He could just like pick me up with one arm. Scary."Well, if you weigh less that 550 lbs. (250 kg.), I'll just bet he could. I would point out, though, that he could not do this in a competition. By using tires instead of barbell weights, he starts with the bar higher off the ground than it would be for a regulation lift. Also, because of the flex in the bar, he's not lifting the entire weight till the last two tires clear the ground, by which time he's standing nearly straight. Still, the guy's got stones. |

A deadlift is supposed to be leg and lower back strength. Nobody should be talking about his arms because they aren't relevant to this lift. |

honestly, he didn't lift it past even 180 degrees so it wasn't even arm strength. I can lift a lot two by just hanging on and un-squating |

for my school'd deadlift, you stand in the middle of a rectangular bar with weights at the end. so the weight surrounds your body and its alot more physically hard than what he did. (form-wise, not wieght-wise) |
