The 700lb Cold No Warmup Deadlift By J.C. Hise

I have referenced this before, but can’t seem to find it on here, so it’s getting it’s own post.

J.C. Hise was the old timer that pulled 700lbs without warmup after hoboing his way across the country on a freight train to visit a friend in New Jersey.

There’s a few times this story is referenced on The Tight Tan Slacks Of Dezso Ban, I’ll let you search for them.

700lbs cold, and after a rough trip, now that is strong. Our need for warmups and perfect conditions is largely mental weakness. We’re capable of far more.
