What a shame that, and I forget his name, cannot stand on a platform in Bejing and show the world a 900 + deadlift. I think a good portion of the world would be transfixed.

Actually, I don’t think it’s a bad idea if the deadlift was put in the Olympics. It’s so similar to the current oly lifts except for the overhead part. I think many people all over the world would like it if they see it.

I was thinking the same thing but really, can one single lift be a “sport”?? I dunno. I’ll tell ya what though, you might possibly get some Oly guys whose shoulders are shot that could pull some impressive weights…

I was thinking more on adding the deadlift to oly lifting which will make a 3-lift total.
