Do you not think regardless of which part of his deadlift is 's**t', that a 487.5 attempt was a bit deluded? Unless as Joni suggested, he knew he wouldn't lift it and was just dicking about. I'm sure if he'd pulled anywhere near this in training someone would've heard about it. Is his pb not 440kG?

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	He nailed 185 log and has a log contest in a few days.

Not in Loz's top 10 uk strongmen Member 144, 4421 posts SQ 320, BP 165, DL 350 835.0 kgs @ 123kgs Eq	I reckon there has to be something we don't know. Why go for 487.5kg? If it's a joke, why not 480, 485, or 490kg? IMO he's pulled something very close to that in training to be picking that specific weight!

thinner after lockdown Member 594, 4166 posts SQ 100, BP 80, DL 100 280.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq	i wonder what boltons take on this is, he must be getting alittle nervous that someone is going to take hes dl record away.

Reported 450kg deadlift? Fair enough, that's fking awesome. Only problem is he had an extra 37.5kg on the bar, maybe I'm fking retarded, but his attempt wasn't even close to being successful! Best chance at breaking the world record? Who knows, but he won't do it if the bar doesn't come off the ground! Maybe he would get 460, but it's impossible to tell based on this video.
