Video: Jon Jones deadlifts 585 lbs, explains reason for recent heavy lifting
Jon Jones just performed a freakish sumo deadlift in the gym, and of course there's video footage.
Jon Jones is back to the gym and judging from the looks of this new video footage, he's training with a mission. It shows the former light-heavyweight champion lifting some serious weight, as he performs a freakish sumo deadlift with a ridiculous 585 lbs.
"I've been hearing concerns about me doing so much strength training, but just know that there's a method to our madness," Jones wrote on Instagram. "Right now we are in a strength building phase. Totally aware of all the different things needed to be an elite martial artist. #agility #endurance #cardio #mattime #newskills"
