anyone come close to magnusson's DL record as of late?

[pojo18]

I havent been following competitive powerlifting recently, but has anyone come close to benedikt magnusson's raw DL record?

who are the top raw pullers right now and what numbers are they hitting in competition?

[TonyJH]

I don't really follow too many heavyweight powerlifters, but I'm pretty sure George leeman is getting close to the 1k mark. He rarely maxes out but he pulled 906 raw around a year ago and he's much stronger since then. he's only 23 so he has many more years ahead of him and if someone can break the record I think it's him as long as he doesn't get injured in the future.

was babyslayers 906 done in competition?

I know Eric Lilliebridge pulled 881 raw at 275 in competition and is fairly young also

Pretty sure he does, just not often

Here's some beast I'd never even heard of pulling almost 900 in competition

THIS GUY RIGHT HERE

saw a pic of him, spoto, and griffin on spoto's fb page

guy is hyoooooge

I haven't seen him do a meet in a while. All he does is YouTube vids and online coaching from what I can tell.

he's done I think two deadlift only comps, both in 2012.
pulled 837 at the olympia in September 2012
Pulled 804 in November 2012 and dropped two other attempts.

Dunno if he's competed since then, but my google fu hasn't spotted any other meet results.

to answer the OP:
no no one else has come close to 1015 in powerlifting. there's been quite a few strongmen pulling heavy as hell though. Eddie Hall comes to mind as getting up there.
There's been some lower 900s pulls in powerlifting, but no one even close to 1000 that I can think of (and it would have been heavily publicized)

Yeah those are the two that I know he competed in. Probably just a shift in focus and or lack of motivation to do a meet more than likely.

[Trolltongue]

In powerlifting competitions? Only low 900s that I know of. In Strongman Eddie Hall pulled 1016(461 kg) with eleiko plates using a multiply suit, straps and some hitching, his recent training indicates that he's capable of even more(Benni pulled 1016 with straps in that same Strongman comp).

[WorldDomnit]

Eddie Hall posted a 992 deadlift. Cass pulled over 900 @under 220

[ats94]

cass is a fuking beast, brent willis as well, although I don't know if he will get to 1016.. but who knows

[lancs_hotpot]

In competition Eddie Hall did 435 twice, then 446, then equalled Bennis 461 but dropped it after locking out, and hes like 26-27, he'll get there. Without straps i dont know who.

[dtaps24]

I assume you are talking about the powerlifting world record in competition, the answer to that question is no.

[arn710]

but no one even close to 1000 that I can think of (and it would have been heavily publicized)

Um, Andy Bolton pulled 1005 in a full meet

That's the true record. IDGAF what anyone says

so, do you consider Coan's 198 and 242 deadlift records as the true records? srs question

I don't know enough about the conditions to be honest

arn, bruddah, I was answering the question of anyone recently come close to benni's 1015 pull.

no one has come close to 1000 since 2009, when Andy pulled 1008, or 2011 for Benni's 1015 at the...thing.

[baize82]

I don't know enough about the conditions to be honest

Full power deadlifts broken in deadlift-only...maybe even 2hr weigh-in full power vs. 24hr deadlift-only

[dtaps24]

Benni's raw 975 on calibrated plates at a Full Meet is probably the most impressive pull of all time to me.

[dang111]

I don't know enough about the conditions to be honest

Coan's were on a stiff bar, in a full meet, with a 2 hr weigh in. (I'm not trying to say his are "more legit", just stating the difference in conditions). Didn't he squat high-9s before he pulled 901 @ 220?

Eddie Hall posted his beltless, raw ~1000 lbs DL a few weeks back. I don't know what he can pull without straps but I can see him DLing more than Beni very soon strongman-style.

What is "strong-man style" deadlifting vs a powerlifting deadlift?

[tylerkeen42]

Hitching/ramping, straps and a suit are all allowed in strongman if I'm not mistaken

[Ownster8932]

That's interesting. Would not have thought they would allow those things. I don't know really anything about strongman aside from having watched some events and stuff- I just got the impression that they were all about raw strength, so I would think something like straps/suit would be looked down upon.

I hope Eddie does a powerlifting meet for fun sometime soon. He could top 2400 on a good day with something like 850/600/950. I can't imagine a guy who does WSM would have too many problems holding onto something in the 900s.

Read through his Reddit AMA some time ago and iirc he said that he had no particular interest in doing a powerlifting meet but it was something he might do after he reached his strongman goals, especially if he could set records.

Meh. Andy's 1003 and 1008 were equipped, while Magnusson's 1015 was raw.

Bolton's 1,008 was deadlift only. His 1003 was done after a token 551 lb squat. That's not really a full meet IMO. Might as well have been deadlift-only. Making a big deal of a lift being done in a full meet when using token lifts is pointless to me. The thing is, most lifters don't know that Bolton did a token lift, because it is often cited as being a "full meet" lift without really any qualification. (I'm assuming you probably didn't know he did token lifts.)

Coan's records are obviously different, as he was going all out on squats and bench.

If we are talking strongman competitors with straps, another worth mentioning...


Shaw did 985 in that same manner.

Dang, is that a stiff bar too? The DL bars have no center knurling.
