Bad A** Deadlifter

I'm posting this because someone mentioned him in another thread and he is just so unique I wanted other people to view this as well, and there wasn't a link posted there.
 
I attempted to mimic his form somewhat and it really worked the middle of my traps an area I struggle with already and is a good spot to hit for shoulder health.
 
His rounded upper body allows him to pull from a higher starting position but end in the same final position, thus shortening the ROM and allowing less total work to be done.  Notice his hips are still in a proper position and his lower back is protected because it is still flat.  He also wears his belt a lot higher than most people I see, and I'm tempted to utilize this as well, I have a rather short torso, and the belt hits my hips and legs in a weird way.
 
Well I just can't stop watching this so I am going to share it, cause he looks insane.

Hell yes, KK is my favorite deadlifter by far, he is such a  bad ass.

Glad someone agrees with me, wish I knew more about him, not finding anything, definately good to help motivate me on the DL.

He is a nasty powerlifter as well. 

Here is from his latest meet-

727lb Squat

551lb Bench

939lb Pull

Might I add that this was a RAW meet lol.  He pulled just under 70lbs below Boltons equipped WR dead lift with just a belt!

Seriously, he made that 551lb bench look easy, looks like he could do reps with it! Guy is freakishly strong.

Not to mention the bench was close grip, with his length he's doing a lot of work.

I thought raw meant you're not wearing a powerlifting suit.  Isn't that what he is wearing in those vids?

No that is a singlet, really doesn't do anything to help. It's like spandex.

Oh.  I thought that was the uniform that lifters wore to help their lifts.  Can you then link me to a suit that makes the lift not raw anymore?  I'm all confused.

Hang Deadlift 815x6

That is KK in a METAL dead lift suit, you can usually tell by the thicker material and velcro straps near the shoulders.

Wow, this guy is amazing..all of his lifts are amazing, but that deadlift is CRAZY.

Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185

"There is no elevator to success, you must take the stairs."

His last lift you can see his leg size. He is relying on his upper body to pull through the lift vs. his legs doing the work. He is double the upper body mass than his legs. If he worked his legs to his upper body dimensions I'm sure he could pull even more. Very Impressive with this style.

No kidding he's all upper body, just amazing he can pull like that though.  Look at the fact that he can do like 60 pull ups in a row with slight kipping, big part of that is probably because his lighter lower body.  I've always had better upper body strength vs lower, not that I don't try but theres a number of factors to how that came about, with genetics the primary factor and gymnastics.  But if he can utlize his upper body strength and have it be an advantage to his DL, I should be able to learn and adapt and do it as well.

This ^  is probably my favorite vid from him.  837 for 4 reps, dead stops.  NO belt.  And he ****in whistles at the end while holding the weight lol.  Dude is ridiculous.

That is freakish strength. He has a massive body too.

I love how he laughs after his fourth rep, priceless. The man is hulk in real life.

how old is this guy, as in is he new to the scene or has he been around a while?

I believe he is 30.  Definitely not new on the scene as far as powerlifting is concerned.  Pretty much everyone knows him now though, considering that 939 he pulled broke Boltons RAW deadlift world record.

Oh btw. Is this guy natural?

DUDE IS CRAZY!!!!! makes me want to DL more weight!

age.......19
weight..148
bench....290
squat....455
deadlift.465

I wonder why he doesn't use a "deadlift suit" so he can take the world record away from andy bolton?

He does use a suit and he is the probably the front runner right now for snatching that record.  That just happened to be a RAW meet.  Until he does it though, Bolton is still the only man to pull over 1000 and thus is the best dead lifter in the world for now.

his legs look really, really silly

Bench Press Max - 170kg @ 100kg
Squat Max - 220kg @100kg
Deadlift Max - 275kg @100kg

Weight - 90kg

WOW!!!!

That no joke....!!!!!!!

Look at HOW THICK his back is!!!  Holy Shmoley!
 
Is he natural or juiced?  I would have expected bigger legs if he were on the gear, no?
 
I can't stop watching it, Seo!  I like the way he walks up to the bar like a little boy.  When I'm going to do a heavy lift for me, I'm like, "Oh sh1t, might as well get this over with."  But he's chompin' at the bit to do it.  And then he makes it look soooo easy!  It's insane!

yeah it is amazing, and I doubt any natural lifter can deadlift over 900 lbs raw, as he does in other videos.  Legs, probably just genetic, but I dunno.

He seems like such a happy chap!  I bet he'd be cool to hang around with.

I was late to get to this but just because he isn't natural doesn't mean it isn't an accomplishment.
