220 lb. dumbbell? That's what I do lateral raises with

@The Butcher @diggy

As someone with a 600+ pound pull I think I could do it.

fukk around and tear your shyt up for 750. And this is coming from someone who deadlift 500+ on a bad day.

False equivalence really. That dude is an athlete/football player, yes? I'm not obviously.

He has to spend time learning and practicing his position, doing mobility work, position drills, etc., in addition to lifting. I don't. (Notice how I never claim to run faster, swim better, or do anything else that's not in my lane.) It's coli nikkas that don't even do the big three that will e-stat just for daps and reps on here.

I only squat, deadlift, overhead press, Pendlay row, and bench, with limited GPP to support those lifts.


I've regularly deadlifted 185 single-handedly on an Olympic bar; I'm not saying a 220 pound DB would be *easy* but I think I could do it, especially for a rack.



But all of this talk is meaningless tbh. If you can fund or crowdsource the cash I'd be willing to give it a try. Just have to find some 220's and we'd be in business.


Edit: We need a coli nikka round-up to settle what-ifs like this.

Sounds like a health insurance problem to me.

@The Butcher @diggy

I would probably piss blood trying to lift that in that manner at this point in my life

 

[ImLionyall]

I warm up for deadlift at 300+. I probably can do it but only because of my size advantage. I'm short and i can get my center of gravity directly above the middle of the dumbell. I haven't seen the full vid but no one so far is lifting with their body. On breh almost got it up but he was skinny and tall but lifted with his whole body. This isn’t really matter of strength, just physics. I've one armed a full bar at 200lbs before, it was easy.


The only tricky part is doing it one handed though. I would need a strap on myy dominate had to compensate the strain on that side of my body.

Edit: just finished the vid. This dont look that heavy. The guys picking it up, even a little, are relatively small but are lifting the way you're supposed to.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

used to dead lift 600 easy, havent been in the gym in 2 yrs tho so it might not happen

 

[Blackgate]

Yep yep YEEEP! Yea buddy! Whoooooooo! Light weight bay behhhh!

i was about to mention ronnie coleman

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

That’s all ass and legs.

That's what I want thinking. You gotta get down in a straight squat position which is making me doubt I can do it. Most folks work from the office and sit they ass in a chair all day.

 

[MischievousMonkey]

yall got it

 

[You Win Perfect]

Grip strength is a limiting factor in a lift like this. Because 220 isn’t heavy
