Tom Martin 400kg Deadlift & 957.5kg Total - Biggest Ever In Uk!
- Thread starter Greedy Ben
- Start date
FFS, he is actually phenomenal!
First time I had even heard of him one of the youtubers did a deadlift for reps comp (Omar Isuf maybe?) which he won by a mile. Just thought jesus this guy is strong.
Considering he is raw and his current bw is a fraction of Eddie's do you reckon if he pushed the boat out he could go 500+?

Maybe he could get more if he went on an Eddie style permabulk
not sure about 500 though! Speed of his warm up pulls on this vid are ridiculous though...

Damn thats mind boggling at any weight let alone Toms BW
What a freak!!!!
I'd like to see what he could pull suited at his current bw TBHMaybe he could get more if he went on an Eddie style permabulk
Not bad
Unreal pull. I always wonder how these guys do all their training in straps and then grip weights like this at comps or 1rm tests... that's never worked for me!

yeah not bad I spose, but after speaking with a good friend he said as long as I keep up with my tricep kickbacks I should be able to do this by the end of the year...
the lights going off right at lockout were awesome btw... and I should have been there to ref that... fml

When this comp is done, I'm going to try and get my pulls to be more explosive – like Tom's and Andy Bolton's where the bar gets slammed by the hip extension. I've always pulled 'tight' and tried not to wrench anything above all else, but it may be what's missing from my deadlift.

Inb4 every 3rd powerlifter in the country has crushed balls and fucked bicep tendons from trying to be like Tom!
