Kevin Nee Deadlifts 905 Pounds in Training

woooooohooooooo

OMG that was easy! Put some baby powder on his legs instead of those shorts and hes got a clean 900 competition deadlift!
Great pull kevin!

that looked real easy. with some practice he could def get rid of the little hitch or ramp or whatever you call it. the grip strength may be a problem. but who gives a shit. how many men have pulled that? hes not even a straight up powerlifter hes a strong man so hes gonna use straps cuz its allowed. in competition you use what you can to win. ever see anyone wear a single ply shirt to an unlimited meet?

Lets just call it what it is!

A strong deadlift with starps!

But in a POWERLIFTING meet it means shit!

But if he feels that in his training he will help his strong man lifting (where they use straps).

But to try and calculating his no strap deadlift is being a moron.

before you start talking shit about the straps means little when he would have used no straps!

So maybe he can do 700 or 750 or 800 with no straps but who knows. Bottom line until he does a meet with no straps we will not know or really care.

have a nice day!

late

super strong but grip is the first thing to go during a huge dead attempt.

having straps on makes it much easier

So maybe he can do 700 or 750 or 800 with no straps but who knows. Bottom line until he does a meet with no straps we will not know or really care.

Iv seen him do way over 8oo in person with no straps. And if anybody says they would rather have an IPF legal midweight deadlift which nobody cares about or this, their full of it. So until you can deadlift 700 or 750 or 800 nobody really cares.

have a nice day:)

Strong...but i dont get to excited about gym lifts.

There is a vid of him on youtube SMOKING 855 in a suit without ramping it and than pulling up 881 only to have the plates fall off the side of the bar on the way up and he wasnt using any straps.

OK maybe not raw right now, but with a comfortable fitting single ply suit, Im confident kevin nee would pull a 900 deadlift in a powerlifting meet.
- and so would mark felix!

Straps? jeeez

He is a VERY strong guy. He is a strongman competitor, his grip is fine. What you are seeing is a lift that suits his sport. He is not in a PL meet. Why not just respect the strength?

u peoploe who say he could only do 700-800 without straps are nuts.... he obiviously go the strength to hold it.... he's held 881 no problem with out straps and he does all kinds of grip training for strongman.. just sounds like ignorant jealous comments.. he ramped barely who gives a shit... overall he moved 905 pretty fast .... just kinda funnny u ppl talkin shit about a 905 dead lift hahahaa

very unrealistic positive comments can derail a thread as easily as gratuitously negative comments.

That is just fucking amazing no matter what the dude is using.

yeah straps really aid the lift... i hit a pr with straps then 2 weeks later hit a barehanded 15 pound pr over the strap pr... yeah for some ppl straps make a huge difference but for some it just doesnt matter.... I saw my cousin who is 19 205 pounds 6'4.... tall and skinny hold 900 pounds for 5 seconds.... so if his tall skkinny ass can hand onto it static im sure keven can hold onto it while deadlifting it.... plus he had a bicep tear a while back and keeping both of his arms pronated during the deadlift is probably safer..... and straps are allowed in strongman so he's training how he competes.... why would he not do that? he barely even ramped the weight.... think how strong his back must be .... did you see how fast 905 pounds moved.... kevens on 23 years old... give credit where its due... dudes a freakin beast

Kevin Nee is a fucking beast. He's young as well. Injuries and general lifestyle changes allowing, he'll probably keep getting stronger. As such, I won't be surprised if he pulls more. Moreover, if he comes over to powerlifting, I 'll bet he could rock some great PL style deads

Straps make a big difference in big pulls. As for comparing a static hold to full range pull, there is no comparison. As your back is pulling the weight it is also pulling your grip open, The bar starts rolling. The faster you try to lock out to outrun the opening of your hand, the more your hand gets pried open.

Awesome show of deadlift strength!

ZOMG he used strapzzz tahts not RAW OMG...

who fucking cares... he is strong as shit. Props to him for training how he will compete.

Get a life, you couldnt hold kevins nutsack.

Sounds like you just don't want anyone taking your place. (Memo: next time, choose a different phrase, LOL.)

YOu know the thing about the top of the line dead suits like the fusion and the king that they are not double ply but instead extreme single plys. The difference between them is the straps being velcro.

What a beast!

No, i think its perfect word choice.

Form sucks. Needs to get his back in the right position if he wants to lift when he's 30.

You guys are a bunch of freaking tools. Awesome lift!!!

Wow, you REALLY don't want anyone else taking your place. Do you wash your hands afterward? Let me be the 1,000th person to suggest that your middle name is, "Ain't".

I sent this Jon knowing a lot of people would be "it's not powerlifting good". I didn't realize so many people would be such tools though.

First off, Kevin probably has a stronger grip than any of you posting here. I've seen him run with 400lbs in each hands for farmers walks, and do cleans with a thick bar that most people couldn't do on a regular bar. He's using straps so he doesn't hurt his bicep again , which he has torn twice doing tire flips. No point in hurting himself in training.

Secondly, the PURPOSE of good form is to pull as much weight as possible, so to you Anon's calling his form crap, I wanna see any of you pull that weight with ANY form. He's doing what works for him, what he can do in competition. How can form be bad if it allows him to lift the most possible?

And third, he's strong as shit. Here's a guy that doesn't train for powerlifting, lifting more weight than a lot of powerlifters. Granted, it wouldn't pass in competition, but you should still respect it. When someone posts a huge lift done clean in double ply gear, does anyone say "that wouldn't pass in a single ply fed"?

For all of yall talking smack, I would like to see you put on straps and pull 905, hitch it do whatever you would like, bet you can't get it to the top

u know if i had "bad form" ANONYMOUS but and it would stop me lifting by the time i was 30 (which is 7 years away from kevin) but still gave me like a 980 or 1000 lb deadlift id probably go for it.

And you say his form sucks, maybe u pulling with a flat back, ur form sucks. Peoples bodies and muscular structure will adapt to the way they lift a weight. So because ed coan leans way forward when he squats, his form sucks? Ummm no, hes only in the top 2 greatest squatters of all time and to this day he can still squat more than ull ever dream about. Lift the way your body is adapting to your training especially when its raw, when ur geared up, ok certain techniques are more efficent to getting maxiumum gear usage, but when ur lifting raw, just lift the freakin weight

perhaps just post these at strongman sites then - there are strongmen who can properly deadlift, mariusz among them...nee is strong and one of my personal favorites but we perhaps are straying too far from our purpose of being PL watch and not strongman watch?

what happened to that ernie franz thing where you could pull on platform with straps anyway....? that was a sad thing to hear and i hope he reconsidered.

Powerlifting Watch almost never features non-powerlifting related news. The impressiveness of this feat coupled with its close relationship to powerlifting made this piece an exception.

The AFPF decided not to implement the rule that would have allowed straps.

Straps or not...for his bodyweight, nicely done.

Did he just hook grip pull 900lbs then smile for the camera......wow

Damn man, you're asking way to much....These Dip Sh*ts couldn't rack pull it from 3 inches above their knees......LOL!

LMAO at the D.S.'s

C'mon Jon, that's not true. What they say always has to do with interpretations of the word, "clean", not, "ply".

Ok, Mr. President, are we gonna define "is" next???

Damn dawg, i laughed so hard I farted and got dizzy at the same time...lol

the only tool is the one you hold while typing

Awesome lifting

Ahh, good ol bitter powerlifters. You will never find another sport that tears down fellow strength athletes or fellow lifters themselves as much as powerlifters do. Such a bitter, bitter bunch of hateful people.

Regardless, Nee has an AWESOME grip. I'm not sure if you guys understand this, but running 400+ farmers is MUCH harder than holding a 900 pound barbell. We have guys that can farmer 380 and can hold onto 900+ barbells just fine.

On top of that, he's smoked 855 w/ no straps, and that was ages ago.

Woooooooooow ! You're a real dude/dudette? You're so cool. You have now just landed on the list of numbnuts that needed to abreviate dipshit.

Straps or not, Kevin is one of the very few people in history to ever pull 900 without a suit on film...and then smile for the camera.

Let it also be known that Kevin has laid down an open challenge for any of the big pullers to attempt a 900lb double.

Kevin is the man stop hatin great lift.
