Rauno Heinla’s recent lift passed the current record by 52.9 pounds.
Rauno Heinla has a history of massive deadlifts and just added another one to his resume. In a recent training session, he competed a 460kg (1,014.1lb) lift. This would be a new Master’s Deadlift World Record if done in competition and that seems to be the next goal for Heinla.
The 2022 Giants Live World Deadlift Championships will take place on Aug. 6 in Cardiff, Wales. Heinla will enter the show looking to do something special following this lift. Heinla is no stranger to world record lifts. He recently set the Silver Dollar Deadlift world record on June 6 during the 2022 WDC Silver Dollar Deadlift World Championships.
This lift he accomplished in training was 24kg (52.9lb) over the current record held by Mikhail Shivlyakov. In his caption on Instagram, Heinla expressed that this was his final heavy deadlift day before the event.
“460kg/1014lb new Unofficial Masters Deadlift World Record

Heinla stepped up to the barbell with a deadlift suit, lifting straps, and lifting belt. He was not wearing shoes at the time of the lift. This will likely be how he attempts to set the record at the upcoming event.
Rauno Heinla To Be Challenge On August 6
Rauno Heinla was not completely satisfied with his lift in training but that is probably because he wants to become the third person to deadlift 500kg. Of course, Hafthor Bjornsson and Eddie Hall are the only two who have done so to this point.
In August, Heinla will be challenged by a roster that is led by Peiman Maheripourheir. He has reached great heights deadlifting, including a 492kg (1,084.7lb) lift in training. Ivan Makarov will also have a chance to reach the world record as he has also completed a 490kg lift during workouts.
Even though Rauno Heinla is not going to train heavy again before the competition, this does not mean that he will not put on more weight than his 460kg lift. It will be interesting to see if Heinla, or another competitor, can reach the world record mark come competition day.
