Deadlift training with Chris Hickson

you all are amazing .

@KTMONEY100 its not an overhand grip. Its actually called a "hook grip". Insane none the less.

Lol'd at the scream at 1:03

@samsungpropel1 He's 19 and weighed 245lbs this day... he doesn't pull over/under, he's been using hook grip for a long time

Awesome - highly motivating!

Amazing shit!! You guys are beasts

I hope see both Chris and Eric for many years to come on the pro level

Good shit, man. Good shit.

the way chris lifted his PR reminded me of benedikt magnussons world record deadlift. controlled lifting, controlled lowering. next record holder right here. keep it up!

You guys all did a great job. Chris, 805lbs very imprssive but your regular grip on that kind of weight is incredible. Keep up the good work.

How tall is the guy who pulls the 805? He looks very lean for 245. He's DL freak. Mixed grip, he'd add another #50 right off the top.

that was hardcore .... Liked

Jesus the grip strength alone is crazy!

He will one day for sure be able to pull 1000

Point well taken, sir. Thank you.

No sarcasm at all. I take weightlifting, powerlifting and strength training for sports much too seriously for that. They've a part of my life since I was 11 years old and now I'm...well...lets just say, a bit older. And I'm old enough to know when someone know's better than me. Thx again.

WTF? Chris Hickson's grip is not human. Honestly he has as strong a grip as anyone in the world and his deadlift ain't far behind.

I guess it helps that he uses rolling momentum to lift it up. Not a proper deadlift.

Was this filmed at the gym that burned down? where are you guys training now?

Magnusson also rolled it when he lifted the world record (1015 lbs).

Exactly my point.

Shut the hell up.

It looks like Chris's back is rounded at the top when he lifts. Is that okay to do, because I see some of the super heavy lifters sorta rounding. Or am I way off?

light wate bro a no respect from me

Form will break near max weight. And upper back rounding is fine, its when lower starts to round that it can get dangerous.

who the fuck lifts almost 600 pounds that fast

damn! that's impressive!!!

I'm sure you know... but the 1015 record has been beaten many times over... savickas with 1117 being one of them at the arnold classic last year. as for kevin... even if rolling the weight aint a proper part of deadlifting (i dont think it is either)... what this 19 y/o (chris) can do is just fucking insane.. you gotta admit. He lifted 585 like i lift 245... its fucking incredible.

Chris is a total beast - mad grip strength and crazy pulling power

over grip...crazy!

how tall is chris hickson?

Chris is STRONG AS FUCK!

It's not double overhand grip, it's hook grip, a much stronger and secure grip than double overhand, it's just most people can't take the pain.

I just don't understand how he can lift that much. Jesus its so fucking sick the weight jumps up like its nothing

hm I'm wondering - why is it that all the best deadlifters seem to hyperextend their back a bit at the top of the lift. I do it too and I'm wondering if I should just keep doing it because it really feels natural to lift that way. In this video it seems to me every lift they all pull back PAST standing straight up. Yet all the form nazis claim you should just stand straight then go back down. Can someone explain please? I would appreciate it.

Savickas dead lifted from a higher bar position than Benedikt Magnusson. Zydrunas has yet to hit the 1000 pound mark from standard bar height.

Name of song playing at 2:50?

Hello there, have you considered "MuscLeader" (look on Google)? There you can watch a useful free video explaining the best way to develop visible muscle mass really fast while shedding excess fat as well. James and many other guys enjoyed great success because of this strategy. It may help you out as well...

Hi, have you heard of "MuscLeader" (have a look on Google)? On their website you will find a great free video featuring the way to gain noteworthy muscles easily while dropping fat simultaneously. Devan and plenty other guys enjoyed great results because of this method. It might work for you too.

That was sick. Hope someday I can lift that much.

Man Monsters!!!!

Jesus all these dumb fucks "double overhand grip!!!!! wow!!!!!"  it's not double overhand, it's a hook grip. hahaha strong af tho man.  Eric man you've put almost 150 lbs on your deadlift since this vid. awesome stuff.

805 double overhand and i can'tdo 405 double overhand. OMFG i dont want to lift on this planet anymore

How is this shit possible

are ernie and eric brothers or father and son?

U guys make me appreciate the sport of powerlifting soooo much!! Coming from a basketball fan, keep lifting keep inspiring god bless!!

Chris Hickson and his smooth effortless deadlifts and Eric Lilliebridge smaller than now but still jacked and strong out of his mind

Im just here chasing what they started with.....

Hickson is a FREAK...love it

Whew!
