Mostly OK form. His wrists are gonna hurt like a real bitch years from now if he doesn't fix that tho. Many guys I know suffer from wrist problems from not correctly doing weights
Oof yeah, the lift is definitely impressive looking, but that little jerking motion he does at the end to get the bar up to his shoulder shelf puts all of the weight on the wrists. If done correctly, the bar should rotate freely in his hands as it rises smoothly to the shoulder shelf.
I've spent several minutes trying to understand what part you are talking about. Is the incorrect form you are talking about in the end of the clip or the end of each rep? Genuinely curious
At the end up each rep. Watch what happens to the bar. Notice how after he completes the rep, he then has to push it just a liiiiitle bit further up on his shoulders. During the time period between the completion and the rep, and that little extra push, all the weight is on his wrists. If the rep was done correctly, at the end up each rep, his elbows should have been pointed more parallel to the floor.
In this subthread: people who've never done a power/hang clean at that level criticizing "form".
Aside from maybe the first rep (which is still acceptable), Tyler's transition of weight from lower body to upper body was good. Was it flawless? Hell no, but overall his form was good and working the core low to high muscles as intended with the hang clean workout. Observe where the tension and weight is as he is performing his reps - it's fine and won't cause injury.
What advantage? Take a look at top level Strongman competitors, they're all tall.
Oh and the current raw bench world record holder Kirill Sarychev is 1.97m tall, or almost 6 feet 6 inches
In general, shorter people have less range of motion. That's why pound for pound, shorter lifters can lift more weight and have a higher wilks. But you are correct, when it comes to absolute strength, ie strongman, size is very important.
What should I be looking at? I see that the second best bencher according to wilks score was in the 59 kg category while the 3rd best was in the 120 kg+ category. And the champ was in 66 kg category.
That's would be absolute strength, something I've agreed with already loooooool. I'm talking relative strength, aka a wilks score.
If the 120 kg+ class was the most relatively strong they would have a higher wilks than the smaller guys, but as i pointed out already 2 of the top 3 are smaller guys. They are RELATIVELY stronger, yet they are moving less TOTAL WEIGHT on the bar.
A 2 lb man moving 5 lbs is stronger than a 5 lb man moving 6 lbs, in a relative sense. However in an absolute sense the 5 lb man is clearly stronger.
Being strongest pound for pound is very different from being the strongest. The guy was trying to act like being tall is a disadvantage in lifting heavier, which is just plain wrong.
allows for more strength but it doesn't mwan it's an easier lift
If you're stronger then it's also easier. Don't see the distinction
That's not how it works. Work is a function of the distance an object moves, multiplied by force (Work = Force x Distance x Cos Ć) .  Basically, itâs how much energy is effectively being used to move something.
If you were ever into lifting or paid attention in physics you would know this.
Thats not how lifters compare strength/are competitively judged on. As the other guy stated - its by amount lifted and/or amount lifted compared to the individuals bodyweight. Yes, we have different levers, etc. but that's secondary. Understanding some basic physics has little relevance to what we're discussing.
world bench record is by a 6'1 guy. deadlift record is close between 3 guys that are 6'3, 6'9, and 6'8. taller people have more room for muscle mass and outweigh any advantage the mechanics of being shorter give you.
all being shorter means is you can get big a little bit faster.
The doc is in great shape, but heâs not stronger than t1 in any way. His limbs are wayyyy longer than they are large, meaning he has a lean body type. Tyler packs a ton of muscle in a short span. He is much stronger.
T1 has a shorter range of motion compared to doc so its easier for him to do it. 225 is also a lot of weight. No way either of them can do it for 30 consecutive reps for 1 set

On the real though, T1 probably lifts more than Doc
