Commentators say: he benches like a bodybuilder Member 231, 1873 posts SQ 400, BP 275, DL 3651040.0 kgs @ 135.7kgs Eq | 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 | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22054 posts | richards9876 said: 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!! | ||

Never thought of the grip issue. | ||

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. | ||
