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 bet that activated his glutes.
He is the second man in history to break through the 1000lb barrier after
Andy Bolton pulled 1008.9lb in 2009

I know his mum. She still calls him "Benni litli" (baby Benny)hahaha! Incredible lift.
Anon, ha, he still has a baby face.
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.
No shoes...just socks? Better contact with the floor.
