Steph Curry is stronger than Michael Jordan?

[Monta Ellis MVP]

I came across this article that shows how strong Steph Curry is.

http://mweb.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/25207008/stephen-curry-can-deadlift-400-pounds

He can deadlift over 400 pounds. There is nothing about Jordan lifting that much online or at the Library. It looks like he has never been able to lift as much as Curry.

The Warriors team is weak af if they consider that strong. If you know anything about lifting you would know that trap bar deadlifts are way easier than conventional deadlifts. It wouldn't surprise me if Curry couldn't even move 315 off the floor, conventional. The trap bar deadlift is essentially a squat and Jordan had way stronger legs than Curry.

[dabigbaws]

400lb is literally nothing.

[90sgoat]

I can do 407lbs conventional deadlift and I'm shorter than Curry, not impressed.

[GrapeApe]

Do you know what a deadlift is? Are you confusing it with bench press? 400 lbs isn't that impressive.

[Straight_Ballin]

Thread fail.

[plowking]

Do you know what a deadlift is? Are you confusing it with bench press? 400 lbs isn't that impressive.

Are you serious?

400lbs deadlift isn't impressive?

99.5% of the worlds population wouldn't be able to do that. Even those who train, a large majority cannot do that. Then add in those who can, I'd say 50% couldn't do it without a belt. Those who can, 50% probably can't do it for more than a single or with good form.

Completely baseless numbers to an extent, but 400lbs not being impressive? What a joke...

EDIT: To put into perspective how "unimpressive" the 400lbs deadlift is. The average crossfit athlete was 190lbs in 2010, and the average DL was 470lbs. But yeah... 400lbs is unimpressive. :oldlol:

Being short has its advantage with lifting.

[90sgoat]

Being short has its advantage with lifting.

Not really in deadlift, long arms means the bar has to travel a shorter distance.

400lbs among lifters is not THAT impressive for someone weighing say 90kg and has lifted for a couple of years. It's still a good lift.

[JohnnySic]

400 lbs is a solid deadlift by any measure short of competitive powerlifting. Probably less than 5% of gym rats could do it.

[plowking]

I can do 407lbs conventional deadlift and I'm shorter than Curry, not impressed.

So you have to move the bar a shorter distance... of course it would be easier for you.

[GIF REACTION]

Anatomical advantages go like this... Most people don't have a clue about these things so I'll set it straight in a simple manner

Deadlift - Long arms = good

Bench - Short arms + Big ribcage = good

Squat - Short femur + long torso = good

[The_Pharcyde]

400lb is literally nothing.

literally

[plowking]

400lbs among lifters is not THAT impressive for someone weighing say 90kg and has lifted for a couple of years. It's still a good lift.

I've been lifting now for 6 years... It took me 6 or 7 months to get to a 4 plate deadlift each side, and this considering I picked it up about 2 years into lifting after having time to strengthen every other muscle. This coming from someone who is glute dominant, and has a natural advantage at the DL (apart from height, at 6'3).

Any gym I've gone to, when someone puts on 4 plates, and it has happened rarely... people actually stop and watch for the most part.

Like JohnnySic said, probably less than 5% of gym goers could do it. Even less with good form, and a competition accepted style lift.

[90sgoat]

So you have to move the bar a shorter distance... of course it would be easier for you.

:facepalm

Long arms mean the bar has to travel less distance, shorter arms means you have to lift it higher relative to your height.

[Straight_Ballin]

Is 6'1, 250 with 18" arms and calves with 36' waist and 54 size coat with 415 bench and 500 deadlift impressive?

[warriorfan]

It's a two way street moron

Height alone does not mean a better deadlift

It is arm length in a proportional component

[plowking]

:facepalm

Long arms mean the bar has to travel less distance, shorter arms means you have to lift it higher relative to your height.

:oldlol:

Long arms help... Doesn't mean being shorter doesn't help being able to push your hips through the lift at a much quicker point. :oldlol:

Calm the hell down. First of all, I didn't use the word "unimpressive". There's a difference between unimpressive and what I said, especially given the context of discussing a professional athlete. Second of all, I am not a professional athlete, nor do I consider myself exceptionally strong, and I can deadlift over 400lbs (I do however weigh over 200lbs). A professional athlete deadlifting 400 pounds isn't exactly thread-worthy. I also thought that OP may have legitimately confused deadlifting with bench pressing. Not everyone here lifts (shocking as that may be).

It's impressive because it is more weight than Michael Jordan was able to deadlift.

Anybody can make up BS unverified weightlifting claims just like people made for Wilt (500 pound bench press lol).

I could claim to deadlift 400 lbs and my friends would absolutely believe me.

There is a HUGE and I mean HUGE difference in 400 and 470. I'm talking that difference can take a lifter YEARS to make up. Add in cross fitters aren't lifter so why they're brought up???

Strength athletes and considered beginners with a 500 deadlift. The general rule is 400 squat, 300 bench, 500 dead for just reaching a baseline strength in things like body building and power lifting.

What exactly are crossfitters then? Point is, they are extremely fit and strong athletes.

500lbs isn't a beginners deadlift for anyone at 200lbs or under. You've literally gone ahead and compared an NBA player focused on power and endurance to olympic and powerlifters. Then you've gone ahead and said it isn't that impressive...
You've just compared an NBA player to a damn professional at lifting. :oldlol:

of course it is impressive steph curry can deadlift this much

it is impressive for any human body to lift amount

oh you are a crosskunt i take it? if you need a cult to lift thats pretty sad. and cross fitters aren't athletes. the guy who wins the cross fit games every year doesnt even train cross fit regularly. corssfit makes women look good because it was relative to them having done nothing before. it's too much adaptation and not enough volume for men to get hypertrophic results from it.

That's interesting, and if true I guess I'm a bit naive. I don't deadlift very often anymore due to a lower back injury earlier this year, but I used to pull up 475 lbs 3 times. I guess I figured if a fat guy like me could do that, 400 lbs for a professional athlete wasn't all that special. I'm a, ahem, rather large person as are the guys I've always lifted with, so perhaps my perception is slightly skewed.

Translation: I'm a fat ass and lift with a bunch of other fat asses :lol

95th percentile huh. Thanks for the confidence boost. Now if I can shed about 75 lbs..............

[dhsilv]

Correct, but the base line strength in both is essentially the same. Both athletes should train the same until those base line numbers are met. Similarly there's no reason why "gear" should be used before those rather low numbers are met.

Now with everything, individuals are individuals and there's not absolutes, but when speaking to a wide audience those statements are generally true.

[kunk75]

yup. all bodybuilders have a strength base. i did the big 3 lifts and some minor ancillary work for years before i started bb and i didn't touch gear until oi was 225 naturally.

A good bodyweight ratio is always good.

I've never been too great at squats, but for my deadlift, I've lifted 2.5 times my bodyweight. If you're 275lbs lifting 475lbs, it is still great, but obviously not as great as moving it while 200lbs.

[GrapeApe]

400lbs is still impressive regardless

Not necessarily, because body weight is a big factor. If Curry does indeed lift that much, I suppose it's impressive due to his slight build. I weigh upwards of 275 lbs, and when I used to deadlift heavy, 405 was my rep weight. I never thought of it as impressive because some of the guys I trained with weighed 50-60 lbs less than me and lifted more. I was always the fattest and weakest guy. Point being, I wasn't that strong for my body weight.

[kunk75]

Never done crossfit in my life. I'm just not ignorant like you.

im not ignorant either i am a volunteer s&c coach and compete in bodybuilding. sorry for making assumptions but cross fit is bunk

[kunk75]

tall long armed people are at a disadvantage in the core lifts. further distances to travel for bench, chins, reads, squat, etc

I don't believe it for one second.

His body would be A LOT thicker than it is if this were true, especially his trapezius muscle (upper back) and his gluteus maximus (his booty).

He doesn't have the physique of someone who deadlifts 400 lbs. It's probably around 250 - 300 (tops).

Kinda true. As I let myself get fatter, my deadlift goes down. My squat and bench go up. This isn't uncommon with others. Now LEAN more mass helps but beer is good :)

You don't need a lot of mass for deadlifts if you're built for them. NBA guards are built for them...

That said hell if I know if he can do it. But if he can, it's not because he's strong.

This.
Watch any quarter by Jordan and you see others respond to his strength. You never see that from Curry. And you hear of a lot of players talk of Jordan's strength. In fact, I guarantee you if GS plays OKC you will see Westbrook over power him a good two or three times before the series is over. Lifting weights isn't always practical in using your body.

At least 20 guys on every HS football team can prob deadlift 400... i know some little ass hs kids that can get 400 in a deadlift.

I can do 407lbs conventional deadlift and I'm shorter than Curry, not impressed.

height doesn't make someone lift more :facepalm


manlet confirmed though :lol

400 pounds deadlift is no big deal at all... although maybe it is for a finesse-oriented, pampered son of a millionaire soft modern era player

Alright since when is deadlifting 400 lbs not impressive? It takes a pretty long time for lifters to achieve that feat. I could only do 150 on the deadlift in my first year of lifting

I never denied that MJ was strong lol

And Barkley couldn't bang with 6-9 280 Karl Malone. "The Big Guy for you"

:no:

Barkleys lower torso, butt and leg strength was way superior to Malone`s. Malone had exterior arm strength more developed as the 90s whent on but pulling strength was similar with Barkley having an edge there too.

As people have established here, half of ISH can outlift Curry. About the same half that believes Wilt's athletic feat stories were exaggerated by an average amount of 700%.

I hear Curry once killed a wolf
and onetime he dunked so hard at an 8" rim that he broke his own toe.

Stronger than Ilt :eek:
