Steph Curry can deadlift 400 pounds

[kshutts1]

deadlift, squats, along with bench are the most important lifts in weightlifting. to me squats are harder than dead but it depends on the person.

And I do none of them, lol. I wish I had the setup in my living room for any of them. Oh well.

This. Long arms = strong deadlift. Most NBA players have long arms...if this guy is 2nd strongest on the team, that's just sad. What does ISH think LeBron trap-bar deadlifts?

We all know he'd cramp up.

Wilt Chamberlain once dead-lifted an entire city

Deadlifting is the only lifting Wilt does these days

I'm actually surprised Iguodala can't do more. He looks like he actually lifts because he enjoys it.

Deadlifting is not impressive. He's doing exactly what the name says, lifting dead weight. You don't need a whole lot of strength to lift 400 lbs.

Yeah it's nothing compared to LeBron. He's lifted about 1500 lbs of dead weight to a 2-2 series tie against Steph's team.

trap bar is like a shallow squat with the weight in your hands, not the same as a real deadlift with an olympic bar

I lift daily, but I've never done a dead lift, nor did I know what a "trap bar" was until that youtube video.

Can someone that knows please enlighten the masses on which is harder -- squats or dead lift? Does a trap bar make a dead lift easier?

More importantly, why/how do you lift daily and have never done a deadlift?

3 things

-I am surprised someone that lifts daily doesn't known what a deadlift is
-I am surprised Curry lifted 400. I've deadlifted 405 before.
-I am surprised Curry can DL more than Iggy, Green, Barnes, etc.

I'm 5'10 and 185 pounds and can deadlift 225. I would hope a 6'3 NBA player could deadlift twice as much as that.

I'm petty sure it's the old hey guys no one lift more than the leader in the team got it?

There is no way bogut or Iggy can't deadlift that much bogut especially since he is one of the stronger centres and holds his own against Marc, dj and Howard

As I've said before - NBA = genetics. These guys don't need to do stuff like deadlifts. Iggy just looks like that.

Curry weighs a mere 5 lbs more than you despite being 4" taller, therefore you should be stronger than he is.

Most NBA players don't even look like they give a sh!t about working out. Bogut, Marc, and DJ are no exceptions.
