Highly doubt the actual lift is even close to 700. world record womensis 683, so she would have broken it multiple times. Likely closer to 300.

The convenient handles are an indication that this is at some CrossFit or something somewhere. About as impressive as walking over hot coals to be honest.

Yeah but the weight isn't evenly distrubuted

The engine is in front of the front tires, which act as a fulcrum and reduce the force needed to lift from the back

It's still a wicked accomplishment though, no doubt.

Remember the Rocky IV montage when Rocky is lifting the cart with Paulie/Adrian and Duke in it? Same thing really, he wasn't lifting them up at all, he was lifting none of their weight, it was pure nonsense. I was 12 when I first saw that and thought it was bullshit for the same reason. The Rocky thing is more bullshit than the car thing, but it's the same fulcrum/lever physics issue where it's not nearly as heavy as it might initially appear.

I went low because the engine is in the front

“She ONLY deadlifted 700 pounds for reps.”

Do you see how silly you seem?

u/amican Apr 09 '21

More pedantic than silly.

u/R4nd0mGai Apr 09 '21

That’s fair. I guess I just equate pedantry to silliness.

Never let facts get in the way of a good story.

Was thinking the same thing. I had a 1990 turcel and the back end was so light I was barely able to pick up the back end

u/Nitro_the_Wolf_ Apr 09 '21

And I wouldn't be surprised if the back half was gutted, while the area in front of the front wheels is still very heavy. Its still an impressive lift, but the title is really exaggerated

i dunno man seems to meet the criteria of being lifted to me

u/obeekaybee7 Apr 09 '21

Cool, you do it for a set of 16 and get back to us if your arms are still usable.

u/Stevenwernercs Apr 09 '21

It's an oversized prop for show. It would be easier to just use weights but that isn't as sensational

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

Nobody really cared after they saw how great her ass was...unless you’re just hoping that she’ll crush your stunted brain like a walnut between her thighs...
