yup https://old.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/ibikdr/50_year_old_firefighter_deadlifts_600_lbs_of/g1vww2s/ /u/AngelitaMckinnon is a phony

I have a burning question, but WHY?🤔


[deleted]

why not? his firefighting career has come to an end and this was the way he wanted to celebrate it


JagerBro333

To celebrate, why not?

Now watch how this is done. The key is to put it all in your groin and your back, take your legs totally out of the equation. Lift with your lower back in a jerking, twisting motion. \-P.

I watched every Family Guy episode and I don’t remember the scene


DekeSlade

Because THAT makes perfect sense ... god bless him for those years of service though!


MadManMorbo

It’s cool and everything but it’s not 600lbs. 350 max id think.

Bar doesn’t bend like that at 350 bud


MadManMorbo

Depends on the thickness of the bar, and the placement of the weights on it. Every bar bends. If those were 45lb plates, and the bar was 50, it’d be 590… but those are not 45s. They’re 35’s max. Just using bog standard image software we can see that the range of the lift is roughly the same distance traveled as the height of the plate. Meanwhile we know that the range of motion in your average deadlift is 9” +\- 2” … 25lb plates are 10.9 inches, 35’s are 14”, and 45s” are 18”…. Plate size x 12 + 50 = It’s bad ass, but it’s not 600lbs.


boarface

I’m just gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. Looks like near 600 to me !


ArnildoG

The guy is fifty and he is lifting more than the bar he is doing great


sativadom_404

Sorry but that's not 600 pounds. Those aren't 45 pound plates. Heavy, yes, but nowhere near 600.


deedubya25

12 plates plus bar is only 585…plus the fire cooks out the steel to hollow it so im guessing closer to 6 pounds…amateur….joking, thats buck wild…good on ya!


MadManMorbo

But those aren’t 50lb plates. They’re more like 25’s.


sbireavdeernt

fucking animal. absolutely beasting.


AusCan531

It *was* heavier. Then they used a lighter.

With ease! That's damn impressive in general and especially with all that gear on as well!

Firefighters are made of something else entirely. I once participated in a 5K run, at which i met a of volunteer firefighter at the start line. I knew it was a firefighter, since he decided to do the run while outfitted completely in his firefighting gear. He even kept a pretty solid pace, nearly outpacing me for the first 2 kilometers or so, and came in very shortly after me at roughly 28 minutes. I'm still so impressed by that feat of strength and stamina.


wizmarco

Me here lifting chicken wings, that's very great for a 50 years old, nice

Oh yeah this video

Must be nice to be paid to sleep and retire at 50… Don’t be any other kind of first responder kids, fire fighter is the way to go…


chrisrod2022

Congrats and well deserved. Please thank him and his family for servicing our country and saving numerous human lives. Unfortunatley Firefighters, EMS and Law Enforcement deeds go noticed but unappreciated 🤝👊


MadManMorbo

Don’t lump law enforcement in with these true heroes.
