Tom Stoltman pulls an incredible 1,102.3 Lb deadlift during training.
Two-time World’s Strongest Man, Tom Stoltman recently pulled a massive 1102.3 lb (500 kg) 18-inch Deadlift in training. The Scottish strongman showed once again that he’s one of the strongest humans on the planet with this impressive feat of strength.
The deadlift is perhaps the most difficult of the three classic lifts, which also include the squat and the bench press. Many a lifter has found themselves literally losing consciousness, as they attempt to lift a heavy load on the deadlift. If your technique is less than adequate, you can seriously injure yourself performing the deadlift. But if one is proficient in performing the movement, the exercise has incredible benefits. It’s why it’s one of the major go-to exercises for strongman athletes.
The massive gains received from deadlifting major weight cannot be denied. As such, two-time World’s Strongest Man Tom Stoltman utilized the movement in his own training. If his standing as one of the strongest men on the planet wasn’t evidence enough, the exercise has no doubt helped him in his professional strongman career.
