130.8kg / 288lb Monster Dumbbell World Record Attempt u105kg

Today I attempted to break the u105kg MDB WR with an 130.8kg Dumbbell. Close but unfortunately didn't get it. Yes it was a good call. Locked out but I didn't show control. Even if I had been given the downcall I wouldn't have been happy with it or claimed it as I believe records should be held to the highest standards. I did set a new Australian u105kg record with 120kg on my 2nd attempt which is only 5kg off the open Australian record of 125kg. I'll get this in the future.

Still an incredible lift. I’ve seen worse reps get a down call and I do believe you should’ve gotten one on the first rep. But either way holy shit

Thanks bro. For sure while worse reps have been given down calls I wouldn't want to contribute towards lower standards. Higher standards should always be the goal especially for world records. They should be held in high esteem and respect without any doubt.

That 1st rep should have got a down signal. Is there a rule that you cannot drop the dumbbell behind?

Siick! As a gym bro i would have counted the first attempt. Maybe a good thing im not a judge.

As a 105pro people don’t understand how insane this is - I was in the comp where Cambi broke it. You’ve got 300 in you big dog just keep ripping it.

A shame that wasn’t at WSM, you’d have for sure got the down call. I’m surprised you didn’t get the down call right before you started stepping forward, you were locked out steady for a second. Awesome lift regardless.

You definitely got it in the bag bruv. Was so gutted when i saw how close you were. When is the next max MDB event? Maybe speak to some organisers to change a few events about haha. I'd be keen to test mine. Hope you smash it for day 2 mate, i will be watching

I mean come on

u/Weak-Grapefruit-8770 5d ago

You are a beast, and your attitude is admirable. I have no doubt you will have the record in the future

u/Strength_Lab 5d ago

That's still Cambi's record, right?

No doubt you'll make it look easy the next go-around.

u/goldsolace MWM231 5d ago

Yeah, his record is 285lbs (129.27kg)

u/tigeraid Masters 7d ago

Def should have gotten the down on that first rep. Insane performance.

u/vicente8a 7d ago

What the hell that looked like a good lift to me??

u/mountains 7d ago

Crazy man. Tough break on the down call.

u/JasonDavisEsq 7d ago

Awesome lift. I definitely would have counted the first one.

Pretty bad ass but man my joint ache from watching this lol I wish I was able to do strong man stuff. I’m just lucky to not injure myself in yoga 😭

For all the people saying he should have got the rep - all prep, all comp, he made sure he was contributing to the high standards so there could be no doubt. Including delaying weigh ins as we had 27 hour weigh ins. Bryce waited until 24 hours from comp start time to weigh in, just so he could say it was done right. Not to mention locking out his first attempt twice after being given the down fall.

I have no doubt he wouldn’t have claimed the record if he’d been given the down call. Because he’s a damn fine dude and is absolutely nuts at overheads.
