Wow... That's insane! It's amazing he can do it.

kokonut · 11-17-2009, 10:11 PM

He can do it? Who?

**KarissaMann05** · 11-17-2009, 10:11 PM

Those men.

kokonut · 11-17-2009, 10:12 PM

Oh. Yep. They can do it. That's a lot of weight. I know how that feels.

Why tires instead of regular weights?

kokonut · 11-17-2009, 10:20 PM

Hummer tires bring up the bar a little higher than your standard powerlifting deadlift event using metal plates. The Hummer tires are taller as they rest on the ground. Plus, it looks awesome that way.

I see. That one time I thought the bar would bend enough to break before he could put it back down.

kokonut · 11-18-2009, 02:40 AM

No. Those bars won't break. It'll bend and flex with enough weigh on it. I've lifted over 800lbs before and it's kind of cool to see a bar flex like that.

**Jiro** · 11-18-2009, 02:42 AM

I think I can do it.....

Maybe a large, heavy acorn.

Glenn · 11-18-2009, 02:56 AM

What's the weight of those hummer tires?

kokonut · 11-18-2009, 03:00 AM

About 100 pounds each. Plus they add plates on the end of the bar since you certainly cannot go up in 200 lbs increments.

kokonut · 11-18-2009, 03:13 AM

Wanna see something insane? How about lifting a 473lb Atlas stone?

I want to add since I have extensive knowledge about these tires.. They're BFGoodrich All Terrain KO tires. I should know that because I have the exact same tires on my jeeps, and truck.

I think Hummer tires are about 37" tall, so that would put the bar at about 18" or so off the floor.

kokonut · 11-18-2009, 01:41 PM

Except if you noticed in the video there is a platform where strongman put their feet on. So, that lowers the bar down to about 16".

kokonut · 11-18-2009, 01:42 PM

I've always wanted to try that but never got around to it. I did something similar (rack pulls) using metal plates and work my way up to lifting upward to over 800lbs. It's a gradual process, so much strain on your wrist and body when you do this.

Glenn · 11-18-2009, 05:09 PM

Have you ever seen Gene Rychlak Jr. bench press?

kokonut · 11-18-2009, 05:21 PM

Yes. Over 1000 lbs ...but with a bench shirt.

Glenn · 11-18-2009, 06:32 PM

I saw a video of him dropping something like 800 lbs on his chest. He walked away from that apparently uninjured.

EDIT It was 1015 lbs.

kokonut · 11-18-2009, 06:40 PM

Yes, only because the idiot does not do a full grab around the bar with his hands/fingers but the bar rests on his hands instead. Like an open palm bench press.

***VamPyroX*** · 11-18-2009, 06:43 PM

Damn...

kokonut · 11-18-2009, 06:52 PM

Yep. That's the word. Can't imagine 1000 pounds feel like but I know what 600 lbs felt like in a bench press position pressing it and holding it there. The strain is incredible.

kokonut · 11-21-2009, 04:09 PM

How does 1100 lbs grab ya? Look at that bar bend!

kokonut · 11-21-2009, 04:32 PM

That's why you have that platform to help counter the bend in a bar or else you wouldn't be able to get the whole thing off of the floor.

Gee...there's a valuable skill and talent to have.
