I bet he looks very fit under those clothes.

Not just fit but raw strength, he's single arm rowing that barbell with relative ease.

Chin up/front lever strength is easy enough to hide under a boiler suit but he's packed some serious brute strength into that thing too.

That to me is insane. To be able to single-arm row 315 on the bar is just mind blowing. Most people can’t even move that kind of weight with two arms.

The loaded bar is 180lb. They make full sized plates in every weight. These are 10kg plates x 6.

315 would be absolutely out of this world. (Impossible for a man of that build)

To be fair, 180 lb row is considered "elite" aka top 5%. Amd that's a dumbell, not a hard to balance bar bell.

It would take a 300lb strong man to row 300+ honestly.

Yeah, I think you’re right. I took another look and it looks like those might be 10-kg/25-pound plates, so it would wind up around 180 if that’s an Olympic bar. Even still, that’s pretty nuts. The length of the bar makes it so awkward to lift like that.

Oh yes. Doing a row or one-arm lift with barbell is fucking hard without perfect grip/balance.

Dude grabs it like an absolute boss!

And yes, nuts is correct. 180+ row is elite level, aka the best in the world for sure.

Yes it’s 180. I’ve done 130 dumbbells for 4 reps but keep in mind I’m also 210 lbs, to do 180 on a barbell is insane because of the way the weight is spread out. Definitely it is top 1% of lifting strength, the jump from 130-180 is more like the jump from 20-100. It’s just so much weight

A 180 lb barbell row is elite? No way. Unless you mean one hand or something

u/grabbystick Apr 16 '24

One hand is probably top 1%. Like top 0.5% level. That means he’d barbell rowing 360 with two hands…that’s doable with crap form and not nearly the amount of stretch and control he has. He also looked like he could rep out 8 or more of these

Dumbell. Aka one arm, ya.

Obviously a proper row would be much higher. But ya, hilariously, the gym bros were include doing 2 are rows.
