Axle Deadlifting For Serious Strength

I just posted up this video of some axle deadlifting that we did down at John Alvino’s place down in New Jersey. Jedd Johnson, Ryan Magin, and I got up to some good weight on the deadlift, and had a great time.
Jedd went on to pull 315 double over hand. I wasn’t able to match it, as the bar rolled out of my hands (ie, I need stronger hands). However, we just kept going heavier and heavier!
Axle Deadlift
For people that aren’t familiar with the axle deadlift, here’s the scoop. The bar is 2 inches thick and weighs more than an average bar. I was told this one was 95 lbs, but I cannot verify that fore sure. That means the last pull was around 505 lbs.
Here’s what I need you guys to do. Jump on the Synergy Athletics newsletter, off to your right in the sidebar, as I have 5 more videos from this event that you don’t want to miss!!!!! Some of the craziest training I have seen went down that day.
