Speak American dammit! What does that weigh in pounds?!

1135 pounds. :o

Jesus Christ THANK YOU. This can’t be reiterated enough. Enough with kg and all these ridiculous methods of measurements.

They're not foreign, per se. We just used them as a secondary system. That's why you see items in English units on the left and in metric units (in parentheses) on the right.
I mean you do measure the amount of protein you eat in grams, not ounces ;D!

And what has Colton Englebrecht pulled ??? 520kg 1144LBS !!!
yes he uses a narrow sumo stance
Yet he only weighs around 120KG 264LBS
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LIFTER.

How tall is he? He's one of the strongest guys ever, and pound for pound maybe the strongest, but he has the muscularity of an average gym rat. I don't get it. He must be some kind of mutant with super strong nerves and joints.

Humble Narcissist, if you’re going to sign in under your Irongrip400 account, you have to at least try to use different wording

Everyone knows sumo doesn't count.

Sumo is real to me dammit!
To me, Colton is hard to comprehend, these loads would have sounded impossible some years back. You factor in his weight, he isn't a total lard ass like the other all time record breakers (nothing against strong lards asses... ok maybe a little), and he is like 24 if I'm not mistaken. The major potential problem he faces is injuries. I almost can't watch his squats out of fear, I expect the sound of a shotgun blast at any time and him collapsing to the floor. At least I've seen those loops on the monolift when he squats.
I've memorized a lot of imperial/metric conversions such as 315, 405, 500, 600lbs to kilo and so on :D
What's funny is American lifters think kilo plates are heavier than lbs plates, even when the load is the same between the two. When they lift with kilo plates they are always sure to mention it :D Our "plates" are 20kg but US 45 plates are 20.4kg so a "plate" IS heavier in the US.
A while back some US lifter forgot the competition he was at used kilo plates. So he called his bench thinking lbs. The load was roughly twice what he wanted. Amazingly no one caught it, apparently he didn't look at the plates. The weight crashed on his chest and he broke his arms. WTF! :D

Really - Then let's see you / Thor / Mitch at 120kg pull 520kg to lock out.
And then you'll have a case.

If you were to speculate, if those above guys switch to sumo for a while, is it possible they might lift more? I don't know, probably not :P

Not at a BW of 120kg

As soon as you don the thong and show us your physique is better than bhanks. :)
Sumo = cheating, not a real deadlift.

Chaos, would you ever allow yourself to be be caught dead using a trap bar with the raised handles?
-
Sumo deadlift, or as I like to call it, Queerlift. Only women are supposed to spread their legs, and faggots.
Not at a BW of 120kg
Good point. Though in an all time highest weight lifted BW perhaps doesn't matter, still the highest.

Van having a moment of clarity here.

Yep its still the heaviest weight lifted off the ground by a human !!
120KG Colton v 190+KG Hathfor.
I doubt most folk couldn't even roll that amount of weight let alone attempt to lift it.

A "strong" man couldn't even budge the other end of it. Most don't have a concept of how heavy that is. Colton also uses a hook grip although he has some problems approaching his maxes.

Hafthor (strong viking name) pulls the weight 3 feet off the ground while Colton (gay pornstar name) pulls the weight 3" off the ground because he's busy spreading his legs like he's used to for the schmoes.

True. Haftor needs to generate much more force for that.
I’ve studied physics just so much that I know it can be calculated.
Distance lifted times weight divided by time it took, or something like that. 🤷♂️🤯

Say whatever stupid nonsense you want Fact is Colton is the only man
to ever lift 520kg off the face of the earth.
carry on crying all you like ;D

Not true. Brian Shaw lifted 700kg and walked with it without spreading his legs like a fag. ;D

Hmmm I forgot to be more specific as I'm dealing with you
Colton is the only person to have lifted 520kg with his hands gripping
the bar & straps.

As long as you don't call it a deadlift, we're cool. 8)

How many stones is this?

Competitive powerlifters probably choose the style that is strongest for them, they just want the gold medal. There are lots of mechanical explanations if you google on the pros and cons of sumo. I think sumo was slower and heavier off the ground but easier lock out, things like that.

Yes.
What I meant was one could calculate how many joules of energy is needed in those lifts.
As Haftors bar is moving quite a bit longer distance the energy output is propably more than in Coltons lift.

Yes and my point was that it's not at all certain Thor would lift more sumo.

Tør is so long that I wonder would it be optimal sumo stance even if his feet touched the plates?
But how would you wager their lifting distance differs in their record lifts. 510kg and 520kg?
By 30cm? More or less.
[edit]
If Tør moves 510kg for 70cm and Colton moves 520cm for 40cm
There is around 1000 Joules more energy spent in Tørs lift. Almost a third more.
No,I didn’t calculate it. Just googled 😊

I'm 5'10-5'5'11 and I touched the plates when I tried sumo :D
There's so many variables so trying to figure it out mathematically probably doesn't work.
Usually equipped lifters get much more out of a suit going sumo. I'm the only one I know who got 115lbs out of a suit conventional. It was unbelievable, some get nothing at all.
