The 1000 pound Deadlift has fallen...
or rather - been lifted!!
Andy Bolton recently broke the world record deadlift by hitting 1003# in a powerlifting meet.
That is not a typo - 1003 pounds - held in human hands and lifted from the ground to lockout in front of judges and a crowd!
An incredible feat!! And more proof that barriers and records are there to lift us up and propel us to our greatest potential.
Think about this the next time you feel that something is not possible - "That's too heavy" is a mindset not a reality.
This will be a short blog - but profound - I am a deadlift junky and this is an amazing lift!
