after seeing how many guys have actually squatted 1000+ single ply and walked out, makes me wonder how many have pulled 900+ in competition.
best i can recall
Ed Coan 901@220 Raw also lightest man to pull 900+
Doyle Kenady 903
Andrey Malanichev 903/410kg sumo
Chuck Fought 903
Dan Wohleber 904-first to pull 900+
Maxim Podtynny 909-heaviest sumo deadlift ever
Gary Hiesey 925
Vlad Alhazov 925
Tibor Meszaros 927
Garry frank 931
Mark Henry 933 Raw
Mikhail Koklayev 915 Raw
Konstantin Konstantinovs 948
Andy Bolton 1008
Benni Magnusson 1015 Raw
I would have put Coan’s 903 at 220, wearing what would be considered by todays standards a cotton singlet for a suit, AND he hit a monster squat and total for that meet as well.
don’t forget some of the little guys too, Lamar Gant had some sick pulls at 132lbs, but granted he was not nearly as impressive on the other lifts.

actually that lift was supposed to be 407.5kg/898lbs, but weighed out to 409kg/901lbs, and coan deadlifted raw.

Not correct, gant held the squat, bench , deadlift, and total records at one time. This was before Joe Bradley’s 650 squat and 396 bench, but it’s not fair to say he wasn’t that impressive. He was the best ever at one point, benching 350+ and squatting over 500 lbs. This was late 70s or so.

To my knowledge, Gant is the only man to pull 5x bodyweight… That sort of puts the lift on the map…
