>>41523387

Yes, it makes your leverages more favourable and reduces ROM.

All a fatass has to do is lean back on a deadlift and the bar is already off the ground.

>>41523387
He needs a regular sized dude next to him to put into context just how fucking big he is.

World record holder for the dead lift.

Brian Shaw isn't obese. He's overweight at best when you look at his bf%. Cutting only makes you weaker so why would you cut... Obvious shit is obvious.

>>41523387
Yes. Having some extra fat helps with balance and leverage.

>>41523454
>over 30% bf
>not obese

>>41523387
More mass moves more mass, even with the fuckload of gear that WSM competitors are on they still can't stay super lean. Also being heavier (fat or otherwise) really helps for a couple of events like truck pulls

>>41523454
This

So much easier to put on muscle and gain strenght when you eat at a surplus.

Can someone post the pic of big Z after he quit competing and shed some fat?

>>41523387
the help doesn't help him per se, but he needs to be in a constant anabolic state

>>41523394
I know that you're just replying to your own thread and whatnot, but side note for people lurking.

Having a gut is detrimental to deadlifting leverage. Pete rubish has a video where he talks about how his deadlift went down 80 pounds or so because his gut became too big from steroids. His deadlift went back up 80 pounds or so after he slimmed down a bit.

>>41523387
can tell you now man I've put on a lot of muscle, but I could push more shit around when I weighed 30% from bodyfat because legs are stronk from carrying weight and extra weight lets you apply it more and you can leverage gravity more. obviously this only helps in some instances.

>>41523495

He's fucking massive. His thickness is ridiculous.

>>41523470
It helps most of all on the press events, I love Hall but he has such a fucking advantage over people like Thor with his huge gut, literally able to rest it mid lift on it lol

>>41523572
Yeah him and Shaw are completely different personalities.

>>41523572
>>41523628
hafthor is a game of thrones superstar nobody has heard of shaw lmao

>>41523609
It's his forearms that get me every time.
You can put even guys who lift next to him and his forearms are bigger than their entire arm
And forearms don't retain that much fat either.

>>41523640
what is a game of throne?

>>41523504

Deadlift is only a small part of WSM.
And despite that, the biggest deadlift ever, was done by a guy with a huge gut.

>>41523387

can't stand that cunt

>>41523678

>>41523922

Shaw is 430lb

>>41523491

He didn't quit I think he was just dealing with an injury for a while

He's competing at World's Strongest Man this year

>>41523504
Only a problem with powerlifting rules, with strongman you can hitch all you want. Notice how Eddie Hall initiates his pull almost like a squat (that's because of the gut)

>>41523982
jesus that has to be bad for his joints.
muscle or fat, the human skeleton wasn't designed to have that much weight on it all the time.

>>41523678
I was hoping this would be posted. It's a perfect illustration of how staggeringly big Shaw is.

>>41524009

See that's the thing, you're still thinking of him as human, when he's clearly left it behind.

>>41524009

the fun thing is that Alsruhe here is around 6' 240 lbs, really like his youtube channel and he has some state records

now, he's absolutely dwarfed by shaw, and so is everyone on /fit/. Strongmen are on another level, which makes sense seeing as they're all 400 lbs without being too fat

>>41523640
In Strongman halfthor is just the perpetual third placer, if even that.

Shaw is a true champion, humble, polite, but a true competitor.

>>41524009
every living tissue on your body adapts to stress. sure he probably wont live til 80 but is not like his joints are made of glass

>>41524630
Hafthor is really just "that famous guy" that somehow places close. Shaw is the GOAT favorite, with Hall being the up and coming rival

>>41524688
Hall has been up and coming for years and will be until he retires

Shaw is absolute GOAT. He is the ideal Gentle Giant.

Extremely massive and strong, strongest in the world in fact, and yet very nice, humble, articulate, somewhat charismatic, very passionate about what he does and gets excited when people are interested, and just an all around great guy.

The "Brian Shaw is humble" is a meme that needs to die. He is an amazing strongman, but even better at passive aggressive humblebragging.

That's what he does. Brian Shaw obviously has massive insecurity issues. Watch any interview with him after he lost an event and you will get a nice lesson in making excuses.

I know. Just saying if you took all their bests in a bubble, Hall would blow Shaw the fuck out.

Though even in a pler meet, Shaw would beat that negro who set the wr at 2350 something. Shaw would be 2450 ish, and Eddie would be 2650ish.
