Straps don't count. I didn't see this one but I saw the other PR he set where Arnold was there

Hall is a British beast ... Plus dude seems to be mad likable and has a good comradery with his peers like Shaw

Yeah, I was kind of surprised he was using straps. Maybe it was just a record-breaking deadlift, and not a competition deadlift. I'm pretty those straps assisted. Still impressive. I think I've maxed at around 345 lbs.

My all-time max is like 385 no belt, no straps. 420 all-time with straps.

Don't give a fukk about haters talking shyt about straps

Yeah, but you were the one who said straps don't count.

I was trolling breh. The day I wrote that some guy at the gym coincidentally came up to me after I did a set of strapped deadlifts and was basically trying to punk me

Ha.
I really don't care about whether one uses straps or not. There's an end result involved. If there's a powerlifting competition with rules, one needs to know they are setting themselves up for failure at a meet if they are constantly training with straps. If one is bodybuilding, then it doesn't matter.

Good point breh. Truth is most commercial gyms have really thick pause slippery bars. They suck for deadlifting. I managed to find a nice bar with great knurling and did some raw unstrapped sets with it, but most of the time I just use straps for convenience.

One-trick pony doesn't get enough attention. You have to do something brave and courageous like come out as gay or tranny to get the attention of the news.
