One of the greatest feats in strength history happened today

[RAMA]

For years, a 1000lb(455kg) deadlift (weight lifted off the ground..a basic feat of static strength) was considered a barrier. In recent years the number was surpassed and slowly bettered in small, several kilogram increments. Today the record was smashed, from 465 to 500kg...a staggering 1102.31lbs. 35kgs better!

That's half a ton.

Those aren't arms, those are ATK boosters.

What's more, 3 men equaled the former record of 465 in the same contest!!

Some strognman contest are before very small crowds, but this was 10-13,000 people in a venue where the stands are almost vertical...on top of the stage. It had to be an amazing experience.
