You guys realize the deadlift is the very last event in a meet, right? Your deadlift numbers are going to take a pounding after 3 max effort squat and bench attempts, especially if you’re squatting 1250 out there. I’m sure he could pull more if he were completely fresh, but thems the breaks. He also didn’t need to pull more than 800 to win.

It’s hard to believe a guy who can squat this much can deadlift less.
But from the looks of this video, he can deadlift more.

Just to clarify, Donnie didn’t squat 1250.
But you have a good point. If he’s only after the victory, why pull more than 800, right? Maybe for the glory, but that’s another story.
Another angle of vlads squat. aaaaaand LET THE INFIGHTING BEGIN!!!
Already a firestorm over at powerlifting watch over whether it was legal or not. I’ll say this, he definitely didnt start from a locked out position, althoguh I have no problem with that, but there are people saying “how can you say that was legal? it was a mile high!!” really? "I’m wondering how they can say it was high, cuz this video makes it look even deepr than the last one.
I’m not a power lifter at all, but that looks like to me he hits parallel without a doubt from that angle. Of course it’s from the front and a little far away but if you pause it at the right moment I don’t see how there is much controversy.

Oh yeah. Haha…
To me, it looks deeper than the vid I posted, but I observed in both instances that he didn’t seem to lockout. That’s just me though…
Andy Bolton’s 1000 lb deadlift was done with token lifts in the other lifts remember. I think he squatted 500 or so and benched light. This is why it’s so hard to break a deadlift record. you’ve already tried 8 close to maximal lifts before your last deadlift attempt.

It would be a lot easier indeed if the token lift method was used more often, but I’ll be awed if someone can lift 1000+ after attempting true maxes on squats and benches.

I was going to say I know theres video of Andy squatting 1200+ and deadlifting 1000+ in the same meet, but I was wrong. He attempts 1006 in the same meet that he squatted 1217 or so.

I’m pretty sure Bolton did over 900 in just briefs and benched at PR at that meet. I’m open to correction tho.

Hanley, he did a 250kg raw squat at that meet and benched 300kg for a PR. At least that what it says over on powerliftinguk.[/quote]

Yeah. Too bad he didn’t get it off the floor. That would have been an amazing feat.
