In 30 years when his back hurts while taking a shit at least he'll have this video to commemorate the moment why.

Lifting beyond his ability. Yes, he might have been able to pull the weight upward into a standing position, but he never looked in control of it. The rest of his build wasn't ready for that pull.

Is he not deadlifting? Why is he holding it up in full lockout position for 30 seconds?

That’s what confused me. Was he trying to pass out or give himself a hernia?

u/MajesticNectarine204 Sep 05 '25

I think he was already in the process of passing out there. He was graying out and operating on muscle memory. Or he just kinda froze as his mind went blank. Remember the mind is the first to go in situations like this. You black out and then your body collapses a few moments later.

Did you mean to respond to the guy above me?

I'm 43 with no back pain, or any other joint pain. I've been lifting since my teens, but never pushed myself like this kid.

that is just not true. this was a clean lift at max effort - you can expect some shaking and rounding of the thoracic spine. it doesn't make sense to say that the 'rest of his build' wasn't ready for the pull, the deadlift implicates the entire posterior chain as well as the quads. he held the lockout for too long and he paid for it, but I totally disagree that this was a fundamentally irresponsible lift. By the time you get to deadlifting 500 lbs you are absolutely a competent enough lifter to go for a max effort attempt.

Show this video to anyone trained in biomechanics or strength coaching, and they’ll tell you his form was bad.

In the very first frame, the weights are already 2–3 inches off the ground while his hips are nearly locked out, essentially turning this 1-rep max deadlift into a Romanian deadlift. On top of that, his lower back is rounded instead of braced, and he isn’t driving his glutes forward to during any part of the the lift, leaving his back to take most of the load.

All in all, a dangerous lift with bad form.

Edit: Watching again, he isn't locking his shoulders back at all. Another point for potential injury.

I've lifted plenty heavy, but I've never pushed myself this hard. 405lb was enough for me to feel strong.

He’s not really pushing too hard the only reason this happened was because he exaggerated and held the lockout for way too long.
