According to Open Powerlifting, the 40-year-old Kutcher has been in the competitive powerlifting scene since 1997. Judging by the recent training video he shared on his Instagram page, he has only gotten stronger with age.  His powerlifting career, which has spanned over two decades, is arguably more decorated in the sport. Before we dive into his competitive accolades, take a look at his recent 331-kilogram (730-pound) deadlift double performed barefoot in a lifting suit and straps without knee sleeves:             View this post on Instagram                    ...

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...
