The Heaviest Deadlifts in History

Since Gerrit Badenhorst established the first bonafide strongman record in 1996, an astonishing 200lb has been added to the strongman world record in just 20 years. New records have been set in both World’s Strongest Man finals and Giants Live contests, including the World Deadlift Championships. This video shows them all - in chronological order. Along with strongman superstars like Brian Shaw, Zydrunas Savickas and Eddie Hall, this video also features lifts from powerlifting legends Andy Bolton (the first man to pull 1000lbs) and Benedikt Magnusson. Both men competed at the Strongman Deadlift World Champs on numerous occasions in addition to their powerlifting exploits. Also featured is Hafthor Bjornsson’s 501kg lift, which was completed out of competition during the global lockdown. #Strongman #GiantsLive #WorldsStrongestMan - Learn about: World’s Strongest Man’ Arena Tour/ ’Road to World Strongest Man’ at:
