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


Out of interest Terry what do you think the limit of your grip would be?

I spoke to andy at nec with ken and he said he had pulled 470 at 22 from 18inch with straps but he said his problem is that when he goes for a massive pull if he uses straps he has lossed all his momentum by the time they are on
plus he said it's the sheer force he needs to generate to pull bar off floor that is the issue with grip

for me if andy Bolton had mark felix's hands he could pull close to 500
on the subject of deadlift and the worlds
kaz, bardenhorst, ahola, svend, juha rasanan, bergmanus all where round about 400k but there was normally one or two guys and a generation, these days you could have 3 x 400k pullers in the same group at worlds !!! Crazy but I love it
200k logs, 400k deads, 190k farmers, and 500lb stones that's real strongman !! Give me that over keg toss and fingers anyday

But then will 600/700/800 become possible.


500 will be achieved, but I find it very difficult to imagine 600 EVER being achieved.

As the weights creep up and up grip will become more and more of a 'weak' link. The human hand is a small structure. There's got to be a limit to what it can hold onto!!

what will people lift with straps? Who knows. I can see 500kg being done one day. Who knows what kind of suits will be around in 50years time.

I Will say this. If you can do 900lbs in a powerlifting Comp without a suit, then even now, you are in a very small club. This is my next Deadlift goal.

If you keep pulling the numbers you have been and improving at the rate you are I honestly don't see how they could not invite you.

Exciting days for English strongman!
