News — Deadlift

But there soon may be a third person joining the elite club. On March 25, 2021, Iranian strongman Peiman Maheripourehir successfully deadlifted a monstrous 492 kilograms (1,084.7 pounds) in training — just nine kilos shy of Björnsson’s 501-kilogram (1,104.5-pound) deadlift; the heaviest of all time. Maheripourehir pulled the weight in a conventional stance, wearing a lifting suit, a lifting belt, and lifting straps. Noticeably, he locked out the lift without wearing knee sleeves. Check out what may be the third heaviest deadlift ever performed on camera below, courtesy of Maheripourehir’s Instagram page:             View this post...
