A new world record deadlift: 1015lb!
Iceland’s Benedikt Magnusson smashed the world deadlift record on Saturday at MHP’s Kings of the Bench V & Clash of the Titans IV. He made an incredibly easy looking pull of 460kg (1015lbs), performed raw, (well he used a belt but no suit).
I've never seen anyone roll the bar towards themselves prior to the lift. It makes sense--he gets a little momentum, and in the right direction (backwards) to help avoid forward drift of the bar.

I know his mum. She still calls him "Benni litli" (baby Benny)hahaha! Incredible lift.
Anon, ha, he still has a baby face.

No shoes...just socks? Better contact with the floor.
