Will there come a time where someone will pull 500+ or is there a limit to what the human body can cope with? | ||

I was watching a WSM final from the 80s the other night and comparing the weights then to now. Hard to think about what sort of weights they will be shifting in WSM in another 20 years. | ||

Will there come a time where someone will pull 500+ or is there a limit to what the human body can cope with? You would think so hey? But f**k knows I'm not sure MAX Deadlifts (without a suit) are MUCH more than 10 years ago There may be more people doing those huge pulls, but the actual max numbers aren't hugely different Kaz supposedly deadlifted 400kg+ | ||

Red Bull is banned in netball Member 799, 1484 posts | The top deadlifts weights in WSM now are not hugely different, just more guys doing it. I am not sure 500kg will be possible in the near future. The body can only take so much. Just my opinion though. | ||

 Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | there weren't guys like Shaw or that giant Icelandic boy doing big deadlifts before, the rules are different for guys like them if someone the size of Bolton can pull 460, what about someone 6 inches taller and a hundred pounds heavier(I realise just being bigger doesn't make you stronger, but you know where I'm coming from) | ||

 Conan likes to listen to music Member 1155, 3461 posts SQ 150, BP 110, DL 210470.0 kgs @ 88.8kgs UnEq | I think Andy Boulton said the limit to it is what you can actually keep hold of without using straps. Or at least that's what he thinks his litmit is? Andy if you read this sorry if i miss quoted you | ||

Andy if you read this sorry if i miss quoted you of course that is true. whether andy said it or not if you can't hold it you can't lift it. fortunately my grip isn't an issue | ||
