Tyson Fury deadlift record-new video.

That guy is full of ****. He claimed to have pulled like 600 when he was 15. That would have been a state age group record even at the heaviest weightclass. It may have even been a national record to this day.

He will no doubt just say it was an unscrutinized gym lift.

Just like I have all the 105 kg Olympic weightlifting records but they were done in my own gym with no video or under any scrutiny.

 

:rofl:rofl

A top level lifter lifts 3 times and upwards of their body weight. If you are lifting 3 times your body weight then you are not only elite but bordering on winning national titles.

But yeah loads of office workers down your gym lift 3 times their body weight.

Here are some national championship records from the USA:

Those are the best in the country and some of them are not much more than 3 times and some of those lifts not even 3 times body weight.

 

Fury of old had never seen a gym in his life, it was clear to see so it's nice as a fan to see him taking himself seriously,and I stand by my opinion that for someone with little to no experience(and it does show,but tech can be worked on)lifting the weight he is lifting at 6'9" tall is impressive.

 

Way to go, adding 2 and 2 together and getting 5atsch

 

Pretty much every serious boxer these days has a proper weight training program.

I dont exactly see how being stronger, more powerful and better conditioned is going to be detrimental to being a boxer.

This isnt the 1950s anymore. All sports have evolved and so have theior athletes through better training.

Boxing has been behind the curve,but its catching up.

Look at Marquez. For the Mayweather fight he was running around mountains throwing rocks around and drinking his own ****.

For the 3rd Pacquiao fight he had a proper strength and conditioning coach and had proper nutrition and supplementation.

Physically he looked better in the Pacquiao fight.

The days of jogging in the morning, doing some jumping jacks as fitness work are long gone.

 

Of course Tyson lifted weights pre-prison. Dont be silly.

The guy was benching 220 when he was 15.

You dont get built like Tyson was without lifting weights.

 

How do you explain the fact that pretty much every serious professional boxer these days DOES lift weights.

Tyson Fury isnt exactly unusual in the fact that he deadlifts.

Its done less at the lighter weights as fighters dont want to put on too much extra muscle as they need to make a weight limit, but you can be sure EVERY single fighter who's ranked at the higher weights does it.

As noted Holyfield used adjusted bodybuilding workouts early in his training cycle. Mosely was a state school champion at weight lifting in his early days. Rahman could apparently bench 500lbs, you can be darn sure that Wlad didnt get built the way he is without serious weights training.

Its no co-incidence that the fastest,most explosive boxers also tend to be extremely well muscled (Mike Tyson, Berto,Haye,Ortiz,RJJ, Kirkland etc etc)
Its 2012,not 1948.

As for "slow you down",this mentality belongs in the last century sometime.

Have you even seen how much sprinters squat? They are insanely powerful and it doesnt seem to slow them down much.

 

Tyson never did weight before Prison.
Pacquiao doesn't do weights
Mayweather doesn't do them to for training camp.

 

Yeah that is why Tyson said on several occasions that he didn'tatsch

 

You said that a "good" deadlift for anyone is 2.5-3 times your bodyweight. Someone then said "How many guys can do 2.5-3 times their own bodyweight?" and your answer was "About half the guys down my gym, some who are office workers".

So how is it 2+2=5 to laugh at the ludicrous idea that there are numerous office workers at your gym who lift up to 3 times their bodyweight? If it was solely 2.5 times then you'd have said "Several can do 2.5 times at my gym".

Even so, 2.5 times your bodyweight is a great ****ing deadlift, not a "good" one. 3 times is competition standard and makes you an elite lifter in terms of the gym going public. At 220lbs an elite level is considered to be about 2.5 times your weight.

The lower weight guys do more in percentage terms, but in truth 3 times is ****ing incredible by any standards.

 

2.5-3 is not 3 for starters

And yes a lot of office workers down my gym can do 2.5 times their body weight in dead lifts.

One guy I train with who weighs 75 kg dead lifts 200kg all the time, and he is nothing special.

 

It seems that not many people here have ever done serious strength training. It is fact that unless you deadlift 2.5 times your bodyweight it is not consired good at all. I have done better myself and I dont think I am extremely strong. But I dont try to say that every boxer should be able to do it though.

 

Made me cringe watching that.

 

Exactly.

:deal

 

He's going to snap city if he keeps lifting like that!!
