    460lb deadlift

    My dad once deadlifted 460lbs!

    He used to do chins with 90lbs between his legs!

    He had 16" arms, was 5'6" and could even do a maltese cross!

    I think these things sound amazing, I'm sure other people have done similar things, but have they done this?

    He told people at work that he could rip a telephone directory into quarters, so everyone took bets, and he did it!!! His grip strength was absolutely amazing.

    What does everyone think of this?

    i can rip a phone book in half if i have enough time, its alot about technique as well as strength. Sounds like you have a very impressive father.

    a maltese cross is what you see the gymnasts do on the rings. I think its the regular one where they have their arms outstretched and feet pointed towards the floor but its probably the other versioun where the body is held parallel to the floor.

    I am 50 years old. Can do pull up with 45 kilo (little over 90 pounds) hanging from my belt, I can dead lift over 460, but cannot do an iron cross....

    but even tho I didn't get all three, I sincerely hope that my daughter is as proud of me as you are of your father.

    And I hope that he has given you the inspiration to stay in shape and do the same feats when your time comes...

    I know that the iron cross is feet to the floor. I'm gonna guess that maltese cross is parallel.

    To rip a phone book in half you scrunch the pages together and tear it when the pages make a football type shape, dont know how else to describe it. I saw a dude on tv do it.

    I can deadlift 460/8 but I'm trying to get it so I dont need wrist straps. But as far as pullups with 90 pounds or the maltese cross goes, **** that, you'd find my ass dead.
