Media Arnold Allen deadlifts 440lbs

[Legendary]

What are you babbling about? Deadlift is more useless than bench? lmao.

And nobody (see: very few) outside of being competitive or having great leverages (see: godly) is doubling their weight on bench. Maybe if you weigh like 150 lbs.

His dads a powerlifter right?

But yeah, hes clearly one of the p4p strongest guys in MMA. You can see hes strong as fuck from his back and shoulders. Him and Leon are probably the best UK fighters but neither got much attention (well Leon did after the Usman win obviously) because they're so quiet.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Little tank. His dad is a unit as well I believe

I've seen 187lb men in shape, he's not the size of GSP. I'm doubtful as fuck. He looks about 165 there as a 5'9 dude.

Loses to the string bean, Max Holloway, who hasn’t touched a weight in his life.

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

I know another top level 145er from the uk and he hovers around 175-180 lbs ripped at 5'8.

Weight lifting too much doesn't make sense for lower weight fighters.

Lol what is this

Kai kara has been doing 440 for years

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

That’s a Sherbro’s warmup.

M100S followed by 200 Navy seals.

Almost as strong as my 1rep max at age 18

when you didn't train any martial arts or cardio let alone professionally

 

[Deleted member 592822]

Lol what is this

Kai kara has been doing 440 for years

he's a freak tho. 200kg is good for a FW MMA fighter. They're not powerlifters you know

 

[Deleted member 592822]

Yet he couldn't even out muscle a skinny fat lanklet like Holloway

it's almost like deadlift doesn't transfer that much to martial arts

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Not bad...

Here's a Sherdogger

Too many hands

It's @Fact Checker

His whole gimmick seems to be having a name contrary to how fucking wrong he is all the time

Curious as to what Allen weighs here? 2 x body weight is king, 3 x body weight is godly.

You're way off man.
2x body weight is fit, 2.5x is strong, 3x is notable.
Any reasonably in shape guy who weight lifts generally will be able to pull a 2x 1RM.

 

[VonSupervillain]

No lift. Also, nothing impressive about a 440 lbs. deadlift at any BW above 150.

No sherbro would ever pull sumo brother

Average deadlift

 

[Dana's Moonface]

I'd bet around 165. He looks decently lean. 440lbs is good work, no belt on though is wild as someone said.

It's not really wild
I have pulled many years without a belt early in to my lifting and used to compete beltless

Form and a strong core is key

Obviously I'd still recommend a belt, but it can still be safe. Even a belt won't protect much against shitty form

 

[StonedLemur]

Doesn't need it, 95 % of his power is coming from his tshirt tan.

We call that the garbage man tan lol.

Im sure you "pulled" a lot in your early years....freak lol

 

[Sgt Smith]

My cousin is power lifter in raw category and never wears belt either. He finds it hinders his technique.

Belt is primarily for providing something to brace the core against. Some lifters can maximize bracing without it and that is their preference. Been lifting a lot more without it myself, but I'm not a competitive lifter.

 

[ThereIsNoSpoon]

1 Rep max for MMA purposes is useless at best and incredibly dumb at worst.

Doing this just tests his strength, it doesn't build anything, it doesn't improve his strength, his lifting form, or produces anything of value.

If you train powerlifting, or you have an YT channel based on lifting, sure, but why would a good coach allow his fighter to risk injury for absolutely no benefit? MMA training still has a lot to go and leave nonsense out the door. He would have benefited a lot more doing 340-350 for 3-5 clean reps, than this ego exhibition.
