What's with this ridiculous habit of starting with your arms bent, and someone helping you with half the negative? The helium-aided MC is quite funny too.

He's 410lbs, apparently. And looks it...

Definitely a soft handoff, but it was a fast press and a clean lockout. So better than many of these so-called all-time records...

That red girdle thing he's wearing round his shoulders under his top... is that what people mean when they talk about 'equipped' and/or using a 'shirt'?

Notice the 'soft' hand out. Spotter has hands on the bar and only seems to let go when the bar hits the shirts tension. Thats what it looks like to me:confused :

410lbs wonder if he would be stronger than the big Z

The biggest guy I know of in strongman is Dominic Filiou (440lbs or so and 7ft ish) - an absolute monster of a man.

Neil - that red thing is his bench shirt, its been cut open at the back which isnt allowed in a lot of UK federations.

Cheers for the info. I knew it was a newbie question but I've simply never seen any of this stuff in real life nor really on video before today. Perhaps I will start another post asking something else that I'm wondering about!
