    Derrick Poundstone 750lb deadlift for 10reps

    Here is the #1 strongman in the country Derrick Poundstone, pounding out 750lbs for 10reps on the deadlift. He uses straps and hitches like crazy on the last couple but DAMN!!! 750 IS CRAZY!!! And he's not a powerlifter.

    Being a strongman, he can do whatever it takes to lock out. I guess it would be different if he were a pro powerlifter, but even with the sitting, it is still impressive as hell.

    tho I do find this

    deadlift 380kg(837lb) 4 dead stop reps,no belt,WPC bar, completely raw 126kg(277lb) BW

    WAY more impressive

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA8s17YIbSY&NR=1


    but once again this guy is a powerlifter, so it is not really fair to compare, but impressive none the less

    Another vid shows him doing 939 RAW, no belt no straps

    my jaw dropped, and I had a tear in my eye

    Haha...I hear you. After years of rugby and a few crazy car accidents my back is pretty much fked. I think the knotted muscles in my back are the only thing keeping me standing!

    Nope! He has benched over 6 and squatted 880+...ALL RAW!!! (meaning belt and wraps only!).

    He's a fairly lean 280lbs. I think he's around 6'1.

    750 10 reps, thats the sickest shit I've ever seen... His 1RM should be just under 1000 after this feat (997.5), unbelievable, this guy ever gets into powerlifting, he might give Bolton a run for his money.

    Boy you couldn't be more wrong!!! Most strongmen were accomplished powerlifters before strongman. This years WSM, Zydrunas Savickas holds a number of powerlifting records and a pretty impressive 2200+lb total. American Nick Best was a world and national powerlifting champ, Travis Ortmeyer, etc., were all former powerlifters. As a matter of fact, even Mariusz has done some powerlifting in the past.

    Oh and Poundstone didn't even place on the podium this year. Mariusz finished second, btw.
