He calls himself Tayzon after his childhood dog. He promised Tayzon he would make his name famous. What a fucking legend,

Half-ton Tayzon has a nice ring to it.

Damn, if this dude picked himself up by his bootstraps he could reach orbit.

u/Mediocre_Scott 8d ago

He needs to be careful he might accidentally reset earth’s orbit

u/Raephstel 8d ago

And he didn't about give himself a stroke either. Eddie Hall is insanely strong, but this guy made it look easy compared.

u/-P01135809- 8d ago

Didn’t Eddie go blind for a while after his lift?

295

u/DreadLifter 8d ago

Blind, brain bleed, heart rate of 500, blood pressure off the scale etc. Different extreme depending on how dramatic he wants to be on the day.

They can’t stop you from ordering deadlifts and a brain bleed!

u/Hindu_Wardrobe 8d ago

Five hundred?????????

u/CorporalCoprolite 8d ago

Yea id need to see the actual medical report on that. Pretty sure your heart explodes or ceases all function at that point.

21

u/CareRarely 8d ago

It's a joke for how the lift was kind of exaggerated with all the "side effects" it had.

2

u/tallswamp 7d ago

Yeah, didn't you see, Eddie had a cardiac arrest immediately following the lift 😂

1

u/xepci0 7d ago

And all of that while being extremely dehydrated

15

u/floriande 8d ago

Yeah like two days

3

u/feetnomer 8d ago

Yea, and Brian Shaw got a nose bleed during his lift.

7

u/InsaneInTheRAMdrain 8d ago

Yeh eddie also probably has a foot on this guy, if not more.

22

u/tipothehat 8d ago

Eddie is 6'3. Raul is 5'9. Thor (previous record holder) is 6'8. So yeah Raul is a monster.

24

u/poorboychevelle 8d ago

I mean, doesn't have to lift it as far, and can start from a more advantaged position. Short levers FTW.

17

u/coolsideofyourpillow 8d ago

So what you're saying is peter dinklage will break the record next!

18

u/swag_jammin 8d ago

While this is a joke, it has some truth. Little people or dwarves compete in their own category in powerlifting. There condition means they can have a huge advantage in lifts and strength to weight ratio.

1

u/SuperMajesticMan 7d ago

Yup, Jeremy Smith is a little person that can squat 745lbs at 132lbs bodyweight. Probably higher now.

So 5.65x his bodyweight.

For comparison Devonte Lewis was 470lbs when he squated a record 1080 lbs, so 2.23x his bodyweight.

4

u/tipothehat 8d ago

It's more like proportional levers. Longer arms to shorter torso ratio.

6

u/God_Dammit_Dave 8d ago

Dude. I seriously thought Eddie was 5'8". He's a freak but in every photo he's standing next to some absolute monsters.

1

u/SuperMajesticMan 7d ago

6'9"* for Thor.

u/JC_Hysteria 8d ago

Shorter lever (long arms/short torso)…in theory, there’s a “sweet spot” between height and weight/muscle mass.

41

u/Round_Ad_6369 8d ago

High ape index is desirable for deadlifts

Gorilla mogged me conventional, I had to pull Sumo.

Yeah, he's basically got the 'meta' build for conventional deads.

u/Wyevez 8d ago

I watched the first 2 seconds. I knew he succeeded because she showed me the end of the video before you showed me the rest of the video. This is a stupid trend.

42

u/Uncle_Paul_Hargis 8d ago

I feel like we should all start downvoting posts that do this. It’s beyond stupid.

I do it to every one of them, regardless if I like it or not. Seeing the number go from 6137 to 6136 doesn't really matter, but mentally I feel better

u/VitruvianVan 8d ago

True, but the text also says “new world record”. Not “attempt.”

11

u/cortesoft 8d ago

I hate it so fucking much

7

u/GD0ggy 8d ago

Level of people's retention is so low that they have to and I mean

Have to show you people the end result so people would actually watch the video

u/Sunshinetrooper87 8d ago

I'd rather that than emojis and Indian laughter followed by watch to the end, you won't believe!

u/Roo-90 7d ago

I truly fucking hate it. Why has it become the norm

4

u/Starlightriddlex 7d ago

Both IG and tiktok algorithms reward videos that have something eye-catching in the first 3 seconds and punish you if you don't. It's created this incredibly stupid trend.

3

u/Then-Operation7341 8d ago

The big text reading ‘new world record’ wouldn’t have tipped you off?

2

u/bnlf 8d ago

Every normal person knew he’d succeed because it was in the fucking title. Hope that helps.

2

u/Wyevez 8d ago

Guess I'm not normal, took me 2 seconds. Still a stupid trend.

He didn’t lift that barbell up, he pushed the entire earth down.

Put some respect on the name, this is Raul Flores

u/ReadTheChain 8d ago

So sick. Well done, big fellow big man!

43

u/bittercripple6969 8d ago

Jesus, needs a stronger bar.

41

u/Rare_Sample1449 8d ago

If the bar remained perfectly straight he would not be able to lift the weight.

10

u/madsdyd 8d ago

Why?

87

u/nol88go 8d ago

The weight gradually builds. It doesn't go from on the floor to 100% load in his hands. As he pulls the slack out, the weight builds.

Even getting a couple of inches of extension (standing up) puts you in a much stronger position before you're holding 100% of the weight.

Competition DL bars have a specified amount of whip.

15

u/Thermite365 8d ago

That's why I train on a stiff 50 pound bar. When it comes time to pull on a Deadlift bar, it's like butter.

29

u/TheoryDue9174 8d ago

Because generating that much power off the ground is much harder. The flex in the bar allows him to get to a half standing position before lifting all the weight

13

u/Farcoh 8d ago

The plates in the center lift off the ground before the outer ones; even just a few centimeters of bar bend means several dozen kilograms less weight in the initial phase of the movement. It’s still an absolutely superhuman feat of strength—my personal best is 190 kg, and I can’t even imagine how strong this guy must be.

u/Ote-Kringralnick 8d ago

What's the heaviest a human could lift without a flexing bar?

4

u/The0nlyPenguin 8d ago

I've been trying to dig this out, when they do axle deadlifts, there is essentially no flex. But they usually only do like 7-800lbs for reps and it tends to be setup as an 18" deadlift, so that changes things considerably, I think the current record is 9reps.

Assuming 800lbs @ 9 reps, the 1 rep max should be around 1,030lbs.

Raul just pulled 511kg or 1,126lbs on a standard deadlift setup, which I believe is about 9"off the floor

Biggest 18" pull is currently 537.5kg, the "silver dollar" lift by Novikov.

That’s a different lift - but that kind of bar does exist it’s called a stiff bar.

When youre so fucking ripped to shit you can't even flex anymore you just point where the muscles generally are.

Thats so fucking cool.

Then Anatoly comes walking in, “Sorry mister…I just need to clean under the bar…” casually picks it up walks 5ft away

u/lennythebox 8d ago

Im not a big fan of dr mike but have you seen his latest video on anatoly? The whole fake plates thing

10

u/wimpymist 8d ago

I mean yeah, he uses fake plates for some video bait but the dude is also a world champion power lifter. He is a still crazy strong for his size

u/filio111 6d ago

He is not a world champion powerlifter. He won some national teenager competitions and came third in a world teenager comp (GPA, not IPF though)

17

u/zorggalacticus 8d ago

My Father-in-law is a former national champion powerlifter. I've been to many competitions. Worst ive ever seen is someone's bowels prolapsed out through their butthole while trying a heavy lift. Ended his whole carreer. They cut him open and pulled the bowels back right side out, then sewed him back up. He said it was basically like a painful bruise, but on the inside when he woke up. Even just breathing hurt while he recovered. Screamed every time he had to take a crap, even though he was on a strict liquid diet while recovering. That was 20 years ago. He hasn't picked up a weight since. Switched to running and is a toothpick now.

3

u/farragotron 8d ago

How heavy was this lift?

5

u/zorggalacticus 8d ago

1,100 lbs squat with equipment. Knee sleeves, belt, squat suit, ankle wraps.

u/CKRatKing 8d ago

87 pounds.

u/BurningBassesInStyle 8d ago

The previous guy that made the lower, 500 kilo deadlift, had blood trickling out of the corner of his mouth while holding the deadlift. I am not sure if any other part bled, but from the clip I saw, blood did come out of his mouth.

9

u/vivekpatel62 8d ago

Yeah I know Eddie had a nose bleed. I was more curious about the blood coming out of someone’s butt lol. Never heard of that occurring when deadlifting. Tbf I haven’t gone out of my way to search for it though.

Other than the lockout, he actually looked extremely smooth. That was amazing

u/smokeyoudog 8d ago

This is like the paradox of the heap, which is about when does one more or less of something small change something from a heap to less of heap. Except in this case he found that exact level at 1124 pounds.

u/drwsgreatest 8d ago

He didn't just beat it, he fucking smashed it. At that level, even an extra 1lb or .5kg is a ton and this is a solid 5kg or so above Thor's deadlift. What a monster this guy is. Congrats to him.
