I think that deadlift needs to be at least 1,000 pounds. This way, a bison would be deadlifting the weight of a bison!

I would recommend getting some input from a legit power lifter for your deadlift work! Really solid starting point though! Impressive stuff💯 Those squat shoes actually make deadlifts harder and I would recommend taking bigger weight jumps when going for a 1rep max so you don’t become as fatigued.

Must say your videos are a inspiration too all up and coming runners, you give super advice and you don't just talk about it you physically do it, must say keep up with the great videos knowledge is power.

I set very similar (but less) goals with deadlifts and my mile time for the year! Best of luck , let's hope we both reach our goals

Bison, big fan, I always check out your videos for the work out/run info. I have powerlifted for decades and run about once a week. Packing in 170lbs on your deadlift in one year, along with keeping a crazy fast mile will be tough on your back. My 2 cents for the 🦬, I loved the bench press and deadlift, but pushing the deadlift that hard caused me a back surgery. It took me a few years to get back to near normal...If anyone can pull it off you can, good luck and be careful!!

Awesome dude, I will be watching your progress

Love the content, can't wait to see this happen! I would try to fix your deadlift though, some things and concepts either needs to be fixed or missing, but other than that, looking forward to what awaits in the future!

Nicely done Nick! Good luck with your 500lb deadlift and sub 5 minute mile goal!

Absolutely amazing to see that challenge! I would suggest a switch grip on your deadlift, you would of had that 335 easy peezy. Thank you for all your inspirational videos

You’re a beast brother. I have no doubt that you’ll do it. Can wait to see you smash that at the end of the year.

You made that Sub 5 min mile look effortless. Looking forward to your progress on the deadlift. Goodluck!

hey nick ! damn I remembered when you just started this channel and you almost commented on every other comments ! Glad your channel took off :) I guess olympian's work ethic do translates to every aspect of their lives. Here is to further success :)

Nick!!! I love your content! Keep up the great work! I always hate giving unsolicited advice, but on your deadlift it will be easier if you do it barefoot and try using a mixed grip to grip the bar. I know you’ll hit those numbers with your work ethic! Keep up the great work, Mr. Bison!

Sir please some videos on running posture n warm ups and the basic stuff thats a runner should learn from you ♥️

It's the most interesting chalange I have seen on this channel! Waiting to see the results!

Bro badass, love the over hand grip. I usually use mix grip after 200lbs+. My max is only 295lbs, weighting in at 125lbs. Gonna work hard on my dead lifts too, especially my overhand grip strength. Impressive strength man, inspiring as well.

i'll be following this!!!!

Cant wait for the nxt Video

Love the vids

I love your episode!

Great videos! Been following you for a few weeks now. i was a competitive miler in high school, with a personal best of 4:48 my junior year. But i weighed 130 lbs when i did this. Im in my mid 30s now too. I got hugely into bodybuilding/lifting when i graduated high school. I now weigh anywhere from 190-205lbs im pretty sure. i was 209lbs about 6 months ago, but havent weighed myself lately. trying a sub 6 minute mile at my current bodyweight. the only hard part has been trying to find a facility that will let me use their track during the week!

Cant wait till this weekend

Great challenge. Agree the 500lb deadlift lift will be the hardest part. The running part will be easy for you, just keeping on top of it through the year. Look forward to seeing you achieve this - one of the better challenges.

I can't believe you did this video, Nick. For years I've claimed that I'm one of the only people on the planet with a 500lb Deadlift and sub 5 mile (4:41). Glad to see only Olympic athletes are talking about it. Love the channel!

You'll get it. I'm 50 and at about 5:30 on my mile and hit 315 x10 on a deadlift and have never been a world-class athlete like you. I'm hoping to hit 5 minutes and get back into the 400's on deads later this year. Ambitious, yes but I'm gonna try lol.

Being a powerlifter but a fan of running I'm very excited to see this.

Nick Symmonds is my favorite superhero

Nick you're my favourite youtuber

500 is a big call mate. Good luck. Hope you nail it

Hey man, great video I love this challenge. What a lot of people don’t realize is that to be able to do both the deadlift and the 5 min mile separately is really difficult to do, let alone do them back to back. I am roughly the same strength as you in the deadlift, maybe a little higher at the moment and I can tell you for sure, it is not easy increase your one rep max. I would experiment with different forms when you attempt the deadlift. Some people do it sumo style which brings your core lower to the ground, decreasing the range of motion. This can make the lift slightly easier to complete just by adjusting the lever points. I know this video was to help you get a basis of what your time would be and your deadlift would be, but for the deadlift in the future I would also suggest doing larger jumps in weight, or less total repetitions. There is nothing like trying to deadlifting a one rep max. Many people tend to get extremely fatigued and it is common for dizziness to occur. So please be mindful that this is potentially dangerous if you push yourself too hard deadlifting or running right after. Wish you luck Nick!

This is my goal atm. Already got the 500lbs deadlift. Just need to better my run. Love those challenges. Great all around.

Best of luck! I'm training for my first marathon in April and then working towards squatting 405lbs and running a sub 5:30 mile in the same day by the end of the year.

Nick, try the sumo style (wider legs, arms inside of knees). It allows a more vertical back and uses legs more than low back. Should suit your build better.

That's how you conquer the year! Thanks for the inspiration! #conquermindset

This is such a cool idea!!

You've inspired me to run over the summer, but I got so lazy this winter 😪

Hey nick! Try not to Shrug at the top of the deadlift when you drop it! Great video man good luck on the journey

Still kicking it!

Hey nick! I love your vids, kudos to you for all the crazy challenges! I was actually wondering if you have any advice for high school runners dealing with adolescent anterior knee pain; I'm not sure how much I can push my mileage before the pain gets too severe, but at the same time I also really want to be able to break 6 in the 1600 by the end of track season (I'm a freshman girl, current 1600 pr is 6:28 from 7th grade since I didn't have an 8th grade season) so I need to be able to have decent mileage in order to build an aerobic base. Any tips in terms of training, nutrition, and pacing would be helpful if you get the chance to reply.

awesome challenge!! super tough goal but still within reach!

You got this Nick & I’m in your corner

Inspired, again av sloped into chair mode, and I am reminded that healthy body =healthy mind, so thx nick 4 waking me up, depression was creeping up, 2moz morn, time to lace up

1. Try sumo (if you want) adds most weight for most people!:) 2. Get some flats to lift in (vans, converse, etc). 3. Hooks grip. Could help you since I believe that’s what you struggled with at the top. Keep up the work man! Just some suggestions I feel would help you:) I just hit a 500 pound deadlift myself weighing 145!

Hey cool vid you inspire me

Hi Nick, great video and good luck! Just thought I’d let you know that I did this in the same day in July and my brother Fergus did the 500lb squat and sub 5 minute mile in the same day too. Both videos are on his channel - Fergus Crawley

He's the champ...🔥🔥

This was done twice last year, two crossfitters did it. But go for it Nick. Love your content.

Try doing an over-under grip. Grip strength issues will become much less of a problem

Just to let you know that you would probably have a biggdr deadlift in flat shoes or shoeless than in lifters. You could also improve your grip with a switch grip, so one hand facing forward and one hand facing backwards

​@@nicksymmonds Switch grip is a byproduct of certain lifting sports not allowing competitors to use straps for the deadlift. You can lift a lot of weight using the double overhand grip you currently use if you switch to hook grip but it can be quite painful. If your challenge allows for it, I personally would just use straps to avoid potential muscle imbalances over time or in the most extreme case a bicep tear.

You make a sub 5 min mile look sooo easy!!!

You are the best

A few tips for the deadlift (don't take me too seriously, I'm not that experienced myself and barely deadlift in the high 300s) that helped me tremendously: - pulling the slack out of the bar goes a long way - sumo might make you deadlift more weight - a narrower stance can help if you're not massive - going all out all the time isn't great for deadlifts, going hard but slightly restraining gives better long term success (at least for me, and I go all out once every 2-4 weeks) - putting variants of the deadlift that target your weaknesses + simple deadlifts in your program gives you similar results to deadlifting twice a weak with less recovery time I hope people that read this find it useful!

Best of luck, man! Would love to see this! I think you’d get a kick out of my bizarre running challenges… I beat Ninja Gaiden on NES at the same time with our NESbike. Also with Contra, Battletoads… Mario and wii sports will come soon enough. Pokémon Snap and Punch out too!

Nice work picking both sides of the spectrum! Good luck! 500 pound trap bar deadlift as the backup?

You can add of the top deadlift to improve your power., set the bar at knee hight and start from that point.

You got it

That was dope
