Re: Steph Curry is stronger than Michael Jordan?
[QUOTE=90sgoat]400lbs among lifters is not THAT impressive for someone weighing say 90kg and has lifted for a couple of years. It's still a good lift.[/QUOTE]
I've been lifting now for 6 years... It took me 6 or 7 months to get to a 4 plate deadlift each side, and this considering I picked it up about 2 years into lifting after having time to strengthen every other muscle. This coming from someone who is glute dominant, and has a natural advantage at the DL (apart from height, at 6'3).
Any gym I've gone to, when someone puts on 4 plates, and it has happened rarely... people actually stop and watch for the most part.
Like JohnnySic said, probably less than 5% of gym goers could do it. Even less with good form, and a competition accepted style lift.

[QUOTE=plowking]So you have to move the bar a shorter distance... of course it would be easier for you.[/QUOTE]
:facepalm
Long arms mean the bar has to travel less distance, shorter arms means you have to lift it higher relative to your height.
Re: Steph Curry is stronger than Michael Jordan?
Is 6'1, 250 with 18" arms and calves with 36' waist and 54 size coat with 415 bench and 500 deadlift impressive?

It's a two way street moron
Height alone does not mean a better deadlift
It is arm length in a proportional component

:oldlol:
Long arms help... Doesn't mean being shorter doesn't help being able to push your hips through the lift at a much quicker point. :oldlol:

Don't get what's "facepalm" worthy about it. I've seen people get 100+ lbs using a trapbar. Either way, 400 isn't budging if Curry had to do this conventional.

George Leeman has 100 pounds over Coan. :facepalm
Re: Steph Curry is stronger than Michael Jordan?
You think a trap bar is going to make a 90 pound difference?
Not even close

[QUOTE=plowking]Are you serious?
400lbs deadlift isn't impressive?
99.5% of the worlds population wouldn't be able to do that. Even those who train, a large majority cannot do that. Then add in those who can, I'd say 50% couldn't do it without a belt. Those who can, 50% probably can't do it for more than a single or with good form.
Completely baseless numbers to an extent, but 400lbs not being impressive? What a joke...
EDIT: To put into perspective how "unimpressive" the 400lbs deadlift is. The average crossfit athlete was 190lbs in 2010, and the average DL was 470lbs. But yeah... 400lbs is unimpressive. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
Calm the hell down. First of all, I didn't use the word "unimpressive". There's a difference between unimpressive and what I said, especially given the context of discussing a professional athlete. Second of all, I am not a professional athlete, nor do I consider myself exceptionally strong, and I can deadlift over 400lbs (I do however weigh over 200lbs). A professional athlete deadlifting 400 pounds isn't exactly thread-worthy. I also thought that OP may have legitimately confused deadlifting with bench pressing. Not everyone here lifts (shocking as that may be).
