SM has got all sorts of records, different set ups, different weights for varying metres, trucks with morw or wider tyres etc but some people who only watch the odd bit of strongman don't understand this and have to say A is better than B instead of taking lift A and lift B for what they are.

I remember at some point seeing people say, i thought big Z had the record at 550kg and they where right, but its just a different set up and different record

For me as long as the bar setup is standard 9" from the ground (and not a weird sumo pull) its a deadlift.

The last record on a standard power bar was Kevin Nee's 410kg.

Shaw and Z where on the Ironmind S cube bar and “barrels”.

Magnussons 461 and Eddie set the 462-465kg world record where with a deadlift bar. Its longer so the weight leaves the ground incrementally to the top vs a standard power(lifting) bar. This decreases the range of motion.
Elephant Bar is just longer again.

Eddies 500kg is on a deadlift bar with a suit. No suits allowed in Arnolds and half the powerlifting feds.
The figure 8 straps let him hold the bar 1" lower than a closed hand grip.

Its still a deadlift record for 99% of people.

I heard Rogue have offered 50k for anyone who breaks 501kg on their Elephant Bar. Be interesting to see an EU of Chinese bar maker offer a prize for a unsuited power or olympic record.

Why has he pulled out? Injury I can only assume?

So he can do WUS in Bahrain on April 11th...they are very close. It probably has more prize money, a WR attempt he can get etc etc.

This, there's lots of cash on offer to break the deadlift record and he wants to be as fresh as possible to to it.

And as detailed on his Instagram post, it's the first event, on a 'standard' deadlift bar with figure 8 straps and suits allowed.

In other words, the exact same conditions and setup as Eddie's 500kg...

He could pull it raw if he wanted to

but with preparation in a suit? He pulls 501 easily and goes on to complete the rest of the comp

Is this the comp that Eddy fronted last year and did comms on? Is Ed involved at all with this comp?
