1. what a mess hall is die young id say
2. magnus ver magnussen not on the gear these days
3. I love the argument here...hint hint sarcasm...cant we just all agree damn this dude is strong as shit, like powerlifting, bodybuilding, weightlifting, strogman all beautiful sports with their own set of rules steroids/no steroids suits/no suits strict lifting/whatever it takes...ill agree with the strongman dude as a powerlifter of course the form looks scary but still it's what allowed as for hitching i can remember a time or another where i got pissed because of not getting the end result so lets just agree damn this dude is strong form or not
4. Who is the blonde! 1:32
5. Lots of idiots discredited this lift. He just did 462 at the Arnolds in straya. No belt. No suit. No wraps. Probably still not good enough for the idiots though.
6. this fuckin idiot stickin out
7. No controversy here. He dropped it like a crossfitter. A momentary mental lapse as he'd done all the hard work. Impressive and will keep Benedikt motivated but not worried. There can be only one Benny!!
8. sir i am a powerlifter and the most important rule to follow in deadlift is to watch the hand of the judge or the refree sitting infront of you and when his hand comes down the person deadlifting has to come all the way down with the bar in hand,in this video you can watch three things firstly has he been able to lock the weight,secondly has he been able to come down with the weight and thirdly the decision of the judge,then u can compare the video to the benny video to get the answer
9. YOU PRICK!
10. Nope.
11. Even though he wasnt given it officially  big Edd did still manage to get all 461kg up which is a gargantuan effort and supreme human achievement and he matched Benni all the way.
    
    I had to laugh though after Bennis lift the tv woman shoved a mic in his face and was prattling on  and he was completely oblivious to her, all he could say after his titanic lift was 'what did you say?'
12. Wait so what are rules in deadlift in order for it to be a good lift? Looked to me like he locked it out good
13. There is no controversy. He dropped it - wasn't a lift.
14. Guys that was a world record lift. it obbayed every strongman rule (except dropping it) which makes literally no differance to the lift.. Benni does come off on top because it was a cleaner lift. so for that benni is still no1 deadlifter in the world but officially he does share the world record with eddie.
15. I've seen a lot of Strongman contest and Magnus is the best referee, glad he is there.
16. Incredible deadlifts being pulled out lately cant wait to see more!
17. Where are the subtitles?
18. HI Just seen ya ??? down to earth stokeeee PROUD OF YA  TP.

20. no controversy at all. he dropped it.
