Eh. His hips are too high, looks to me like a little bit of a rounded back in the beginning, and had excessive hitching at the end. Plus he used straps and a belt.
On a serious note that guy is a fucking beast! Incredibly strong. Definitely gonna watch that shit before my deadlift workout tomorrow.

Yeah he definitely needs to get his hips lower lol
He's fucking beast for sure. i don't care how your form is. 800 pounds is a lot of fucking weight to be moving around. His 310 pound log press video for 11 reps is impressive as fuck too.

Yea hes basically #1 right now. He lost to pudz. last year on the last event due to a slip on the stone platform but has been winning some very hard comps miles ahead of the rest.

A couple of things:
1) He's bouncing the weight off the floor and using the whip to get the next rep. Hitching one one and resting it on his legs for another....PLEASE. As far as I'm concerned only one of those reps counted.
2) He is freakishly strong, that's true. However, if you look at his event records, he basically hasn't won a stone event at a major show, and has lost in the stones and farmers to smaller and older guys like Bergmann and Gillingham respectively. Essentially he is only good for static events. I think Bergmann even beat him in the finger in last year's WSM even though he had to shoulder the last finger (I could be wrong on this, but I'm more than 60% sure).
3) He is an asshole. And yes I have met him several times. At every comp none of the others have anything to do with him. His ego is too big for everyone else in the room.
4) He nicknamed himself The Viper. Enough said on that.
5) I bet he doesn't even show up at the LA Fitness Show for the event qualifier for WSM.

Finally someone see's eye to eye with me on this. The guy is a great and very talented athlete BUT just for the same reason i hate bill kazimier (who poundstone happens to be good friends with, go figure) is because they are assholes. I got alot of shit for saying i was glad kaz wasn't at Mohegan Sun this year on another forum becuase every time i met him he was a dick. Of course everyone is going to say i caught him on an off day, etc, etc, but i have talked to alot of other prominent figures in the strongman community who also agree the guy is an asshole but will not say it out loud to anyone and pretend they like him when they see him. Poundstones ego is far to big, NONE of the other athletes i have met EVER has been a dick like him. The dude is all about attention and rude in general. You can be the absolute best at a sport and dominate but when you are a cocky asshole nobody likes you no matter how good you are (alot of pro football players come to mind).
