Yeah but i’d like to see a D-1 defensive end do that! If anybody knows one that can DL 800 with just a stinking belt I sure as shit would like to see it.[/quote]
If they trained for it, I have little doubt that any SEC defensive end could deadlift 800 in 1-2 years[/quote]
ANY SEC defensive end could DL 800 raw with 1-2 years of training?
Come on. [/quote]
Lol…yeah that statement is pretty bold. Still, I think that that the “genetic elite” of football would be able to deadlift 7-800…they could probably pull 5-6 without training specifically for the deadlift, and I’m sure that if they focused their efforts on it, 7-800 pounds is within their reach.
Personally, I’m of the belief that the strongest dudes in the world are not those found in powerlifting meets…too many strong-ass lifters that for one reason or another don’t compete.
Anyway, this is the first video i found, but this guy lifts 700 for a triple, 4 months after breaking his leg. With a year or two of deadlift-specific training, you don’t think he could pull 800?

That is a beastly pull. Really don’t think the “4 month out from a broken leg” is relevant… I had that same injury and the deadlift was first to come back. I pulled the day my cast came off with no problems, so 4 months is a long time. Squatting took much longer though.
As for Lilliebridge… so young and so fuckin strong!
Inspiring as hell, beautiful pulling.

I’ll wait until he hits 900 before I say that, but it certainly seems he has the talent. He did have a pretty significant injury this year that hurt his deadlift, so that makes this lift all the more impressive.[/quote]
The higher the weight goes, the longer it takes to advance. It took Bolton over a year (if I am remembering correctly) to add just a little bit to his record.[/quote]
3 years between his 1003 and 1008 deadlifts, I couldn’t imagine.
Lilliebridge is a huge badass, but I don’t think he will ever break 1010+.
I would almost prefer to see him stay raw and continue putting up crazy numbers there. He is the poster boy that raw powerlifting needs to help it grow even more.
