Dude, on lifts like deadlift, you have to just straight up stop the lift if the people's form is atrocious and injury-prone like that old dude who don't know what they're doing. Cmon...
He’s coming back. Jesus Christ is returning and He wants to save you! God loves you and sent His only begotten Son to finish the work on the cross for our benefit. To lay down His life so that we can have eternal life ❤️
That’s the kind of love God has for you. To shed His blood on that cross so that your sins can be washed away. So that we can be with Him in His kingdom.
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and surrender to Him. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life 🔥 No one comes to the Father but by Him.
He loves you much more than you think. He’s merciful and gracious. He will satisfy you. He will save you.
And when He laid down His life, He rose from the dead 🔥 Repent before it’s too late, God bless you 🙏
Lift on heavy side duh..
Rastaman
you should have a challenge where there's a 185 - 225lb barbell on the floor and the people have to figure out how to barbell back squat without a rack to start them off, they literally have to start with the barbell on the floor. Extra money if they know how to do the steinborn squat vs clean and jerk method.
The guy trying to lift it from the light end was great he probably learned physics from cartoons.
If you are strong as f or if it has lesser weight ratios (i.e 40:10 or 30:10) you can lift it from the lighter side as well.. just lift with your right hand and push against the weight from your left hand holding at the end of the bar.
Have you ever tried, you can barely do that with just the barbell.@@BibxikxbMmJvih
NAH BRO THAYS MY BROTHER
@@BibxikxbMmJvih For the weight in the video though, depending on your hand spread, that would put 400 to 500 pounds of force on the pulling hand, plus a lot of twisting force on your spine.
It's that famous 70 I.Q, he was doomed from the start unfortunately.
That last guy made it look so easy. No way he doesn't workout haha.
it's just the love from above mannnn
DNA dude 😁
Bro said he was just blessed I was like nah
The Lord gave him Strength 💪
It's coz he black
anyone notice how nick said "go get some beers guys" and the subtitles said "go get some protein shakes guys" man I love these guys!
I kept wondering if someone was going to try and grab outside of the weights- But I suppose the way Nick did it was pretty good too lol
Same
5:16 Nick says it's not a deadlift
Yep, the first thing I thought is that you either have to grab it outside or like that one guy did it: feet close and both legs and both hands as close to the side with more plates as you can.
That's exactly what inwas thinking. One hand on the outside and one maybe a foot away from the inside. If that didn't work (due to the end hurting your hand too much) I would have don't exactly what Nick did and just grab with both hands right next to the weights, maybe reverse grip it.
My first thought as well, but then I noticed the safety clip that was occupying nearly all of what little bar space would otherwise be available on that end...and there would probably be no way to grip that unless you had enormous hands. And removing the clamp would definitely have been unsafe (and probably a liability issue).
the last guy was so chill, truly blessed
This is basically a "are you fit and a nerd at the same time" test and I love it. 😂

You don't need to be a nerd to understand this basic concept of "heavy thing at end of pole is harder to hold up grabbing end of pole". How people don't even have enough life experience to let them know that is beyond me.
@@aydinshayeah it should be common sense.
or got shot getting a burger
@@aydinshabecause CZcams comments are ridiculously dramatic. They make everything seem more complicated or smarter than it actually is
There's three ways to accomplish this lift. One is a hand on each side of the heavy side, another is how Nick did it, and the third is shoulder width grip against the heavy side, pushing down on the hand toward the lighter side while pulling up on the heavier side.
Third option would be hard because youre antagonistically recruiting muscles, which many of us do not train to do
Yea right I don't feel like it's difficult to figure out at least one of these, if I was told to try it my body would do this on autopilot. Maybe it's because I'm not from America but I feel like this should be common sense...
@@ptm_tobi I am from America, but I understand the physics behind it. Oh and once you have picked up enough awkwardly weighted objects, you absolutely could figure it out quickly enough to seem like it is automatic. Lol
@@jatbatman Exactly, that's why I was wondering about some of these people in the video...
actually pushing down on the "lightside" will add more weight to the bar and therefore make it harder to lift, but if you can do 250pounds in one hand, then that would work just fine
The people picking it up from the light end caused me physical pain
Thanks for keeping the captions family friendly lol 8:05
they said they were high schoolers 💀💀
There is a large gravitational force pulling the left end downwards and a smaller gravitational force pulling the right end downwards. In order for the torques (i.e. the rotation caused by a force) to balance, the distance from the heavy weight must be small and the distance from the lighter weight must be big as torque = force * distance. Therefore, by pulling the bar from a spot very close to the large weight, the weight will be stable and won't rotate in a particular direction.
It should not be necessary to explain. It's simple logic if you ever liftet anything.
Maybe people somehow overthink the challenge and go for the unnatural solution.🤷🏻♂️
I love how he change beers to protein shakes on the subtitles😂
the physics invloved -
TORQUE = F * R
R is the distance from axis of rotation . the axis is where you are trying to lift it
F - Force(in this case gravitation ) = mg(mass*gravity)
so the far you hold the bar from the heavy side the more hard it is to lift. as R increase ,torque increases
Well explained👍
My man! I was just thinking about this two days ago. I couldn't find any video of people trying this other than the classical one.
Thank you for the good content, as always!
8:06 😂 subtitles says protein shakes
yo the fact that guy almost did it with the wrong technique is insane
The dude who said he paid attention in physics and then started lifting from the center of the bar 🤦🏼♂️😅
I mean you can "pay attention" and then not apply later in life. Haha
Perfect demonstration of the difference between talk and action.
I love these type of videos were you go out to the general public and see who can do “it.” Love the videos Nick! 💪👍
I love your videos Nick. They keep getting more and more creative.

Dude at the end really IS blessed. He surely has talent.
Dang! That last guy is so fit and he doesn't work out! Well done Nick! 👍
He definitely works out 😂
He's getting back into the groove.
At 1:20
Nick: The center of gravity is unusual.
Efay: *Proceeds to do exactly the opposite of what you should do*.
-Moral of the story: don't skip brain day
Imagine if he did it that way tho!
His intuition was wrong, but at least he learned from the first attempt and adjusted to the opposite side
I’m actually really shocked and scared for society by seeing that people here think you need to be good in physics or a nerd to figure out that the Center of gravity shifts to the heavier site. That’s like basic preschool knowledge
The biggest puzzle to me was how many people tried to lift it from the centre or close to the center.
Makes no sense at all. Maybe they thought they had to? 🤷🏻♂️
Last guy did not stop smiling the whole time
No ads today, amazing!
Rasta man just rolls in barefoot and ready. That was awesome.
I like the creativity with this one.
I would’ve put one hand on the very end of the bar like on the other side of the weights, not sure if the barbell collar would be easy to grip or not though
Last guy was so chill
Need get to UK Nick and bring your excellence there
Ah, now I wanna try it. I was thinking the secret was to pull on the heavy side, but lock out the arm and push down on the lighter side
Thought the same..use one hand as a lever..I think that would work too
It's 240 lbs, and you don't use your arms for it. It's legs,back, and core.
the fact that its so simple and enough people fail to make a video out of it;-;
I’m actually baffled that they don’t understand that picking up the lighter side or the middle is only going to move the lighter side of the bar because the force of the 80kg side is way too strong if you aren’t lifting relative to the weight distribution. It’s like a scale almost, if it’s all tipping to the left, pick up the weight from the left to even it out.
This is why we hire foreign engineers. Must be lead in the water.
I was in Corvo on last weekend I wish I would’ve known you were doin this! 😩
The physics major in me cried
I would have lifted it either like a Jefferson squat or like a t-bar row…one of them would have worked
Great video!
I actually wondered if the C.G was within the larger stack but doing some rough calculations I figured no, it should be on the central section but really close to the large stack. Still don't know if I'd have managed to lift it as 240 feels heavy on a normal bar but I'd have given it a go!
Nick - Go guys get some beers!
Subtitle- Go get some protein shakes!
8:06 “go get some beers, guys” / “go get some protein shakes, guys”
😆
Nick Fall is here. When are you coming to Montreal????
the edits on this video are hilarious
Didn't offer the last guy double because he knew 😂😂 great vid
Just getting back in the groove now I'm just blessed dude yeah I got the strength from above! That guy was either totally whacked out or really dumb
The last guy was not only strong but clever too. There were some funny attempts too.😅
Glad to be early!! Man I want you to host these challenges in my city 😭
That last guy was amazing
Didn't know a basic concept like the centre of gravity requires a PHD in physics Lol
I like how nick (or the editor) just started roasting people in the edits
Actually shocking how many people just tried to grab it in the middle
one hand on one end ! best way.
I usually stay east Springfield and avoid Eugene. Maybe I need to go to Eugene more often. Seen lots of famous people been going through Eugene last couple years.
U absolute legend nick
I was thinking they would put the right hand on the end of the bar where the clamp is and the left hand on the bar on the other side of the weights. But the method used seems to work as well. ⚖️
I guess it could also be done by lifting on the collar and 1st ring on the right side.
Laughing so hard at
Nick: "Go get some beers guys"
Subtitle: "Go get some protein shakes guys"
“Go get some beers guys” while the caption says “go get some protein shakes guys” 😂
I think there should be a another video like this for bench press.
Come to Georgia
"Go get some beers guys" >> subs go get some protein shakes 😂 8:05
Last dude came from the mountain cave, where he meditated for 110 years, just to lift that thing.
I thought the technique was to use 1 hand, but keeping both hands close together on the heavy side works too.
“Go get some beers guys” and in the caption it says Go get some protein shakes guys 🤣🤣
The cap animation was to funny 😭😭
Ragamuffin did it so effortlessly
Your awsome for givin the guy that got shot 100bucks you could tell the guy needed it
Haven’t finished the video but I think you need to lift it as close to the heaviest side as possible maybe lift it with your hands touching together pressed against the bigger plates.
You are my favourite youtuber nick i watched your every video and i always get motivation from you 💝"its truth"💝
Do a bench press video in Australia! I could use the money 😂😂
Gotta love that reggae dude!
I can sense tears dripping down teachers faces around the world...
I was half expecting someone to Steinborn squat it.
“I’m golfing right now” LMAO
Center of gravity....gotta offset the grip to the heavy side.
NICK 🔥
Haha I wish I lived near that park. As someone who specialized in one handed deadlifts due to an elbow injury, I'd probably do 10 reps of that haha
Live the videos!!!
Anyone else thought of a technique where you put ur left hand on the edge of the bar and ur right hand on the clips (like you put ur hands between the 4 plates)
Man, public parks in Oregon.... What a place to shoot a video 🤣
bro at 8:24 is beyond blessed with those genetics
The Last Guy Strength Came From His Locs ✊🏾
Am I correct- reverse grip on that hand that is closer to bigger weight,and it Has to be your stronger one.?
Reggae man is lookin good! 👌🏻
“That’s the closest we’ve seen” to the second guy 😂😂😂
Nick, where's the love for the strongmen!? you should do some mock WSM events in your videos; farmers walk, stone carry, truck pull, kettlebell toss are all things that could be done relatively safely by amateurs and would be pretty cool to watch.
Commenting before I watch the full video. I would try lifting it but holding where the clips are and the bar. So have the side with the heavy plates between my arms.
"here's a 100 bucks. Goes a long way right?"
"No... No it doesn't"
Just think about shoveling heavy dirt, the hand nearest the shovel end is pulling up, the other is pushing down.
The trick is to push on the light side while you pull the heavy side
Imagine getting shot and being forced to then live in your car. He has been unlucky but that changed a bit for him.
“Name’s Frank”😂 lying hard
That's crazy bro!!!😮❤
Bob Marley did good!
By putting together our hand on the heavy side..i thin we can do it easily.... without spreading the hand
A 1.15 in and I have it figured out you lift from the heavy end with one hand of you can lift nearly 300 lbs with one hand.
you should've had him say "pays to get shot!"
Sure
Nick you gotta bring some of this action to the University of Wyoming!
ANYBODY THAT ACTUALLY WORKS FOR A LIVING WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM
"It requires so much technique."
The technique: pick it up where all the weight is. 😆
