INSANE, finally, now everyone will be doing it.
I wonder how many reps he could get 800 for?
That way I don’t need to remember that Ronnie Coleman video of him doubling 800.

How does 800lb for 12 sound?? He’s just that strong.

I’d like to show that video to everyone who thinks shitty form is a prereq for deadlifting heavy.

Nah bro that was just his 3rd deadlift. Like he coulda gone 900,950,1003.

I think he was going to open on 900. Which is just fucking nuts.

I know, his form was fantastic.

Holy crap! I knew he would hit it soon.

Does anybody know if he did the whole meet, or did he just do “token” lifts in the squat and bench? Not that it isn’t impressive either way, I was just wondering.

That’s what she said.

For anyone else that wants to see, here is a different vid of the lift, close up.

That last video is an awesome close up view, felt like i was in front row. I accually thought from this view he didn’t lock out completely, but the first view from the side shows he did. interesting seeing it from different views. I will no go tell everyone I see that a human being has deadlifted 1000+ pounds!

According to Powerlifting Watch he did a raw 551 squat and a 650 bench. For him I would guess that squat was a token - I hope so.
