- The deadlift is one of the most fundamental lifts in history. Whether it's for your specific sport or competing with your average gym bro, the lift has made its way through millions of people and is often regarded as the "king of lifts." The lift has also seen a degree of competition in which humans pushed themselves to limits no one thought was ever possible, and some even put their lives on the line just to break down those barriers.

Been seeing quite a few comments regarding the legitimacy of the current equipped deadlift records, so I'll just rehash what I replied to someone else earlier, along with some other things:
There's no such thing as a "sanctioned competition" in strongman since there's no one governing body in strongman that can dictate as such. No one overlooks what constitutes as an "official" world record, therefore, it's up to the community to determine what is/isn't legitimate (which is a problem in of itself)
Semantics aside, it's fairly obvious that Eddie got to choose when he wanted to lift at Giants Live, and if you watched the full video, Brian Shaw's Q&A more or less confirms the entire event was setup for Eddie and Eddie alone; even if Benni and Jerry got to attempt the record too. The "multiple lifters" argument goes out the window because Eddie could stroll up and attempt the record whenever he pleased, allegedly of course.
Therefore, Hafthor's record attempt shows virtually no differences from Eddie aside from Giants Live being "official", and if anything, Thor's has more legitimacy since the plates were weighed/calibrated on stream and his breaks replicated an actual competition's much more reasonable than Eddie's did imo.
tl;dr: Both records are phenomenal and completely legitimate by strongman's own standards, and tangentially, if it weren't for Eddie, Eddie's Brother, and Colin being the primary stakeholders of the Official Strongman (Now titled "Giants Live STRONGMAN") TH-cam channel/company, Thor's record would be much more shared/revered throughout the internet, but it's obvious why it's not.
I know this statement will blindly lead people to believe I'm somehow a "Thor fanboy", but I've been unsubbed from both Eddie and Thor ever since the boxing shenanigans lmao. Also, my job is to just document sports history as it is and give my own interpretation of the facts presented to me to properly analyze everything, which can obviously lead fans of the sport to be disgruntled at what they're hearing if they're fans of certain athletes, but that's not a concern to me at the end of the day as long as what's being stated is researched and presented fairly.
Anyways, I wasn't expecting this video to randomly start gaining traction, especially since I do Track & Field content now (fun fact, this vid was released in Oct 2021 on a different channel, but was reuploaded to this channel in May 2022). Unfortunately, I probably won't be pursuing strongman content any further since I've lost interest in the sport anyways. This video was made mostly as a passion project and was my first sports documentary ever. A Log Lift WR vid exists, but it's unlisted and can only be found on Reddit.
Also final edit: Yes, I used specifically imperial measurements at the beginning of the video, it was intentional lmao (since back when most of these records were measured in lbs). It seems like people that complained about this didn't even bother to make it much further into the video, because you would see I strictly used kg measurements with lb conversions shortly after.
Hope this clears things up.
Yes, you’re a Thor fan boy. There are organizations that have regularly sanctioned official competition. That has been establish. Thor went outside those groups and what he did was no different than hiring your own official to record your track run and claim it is an official competition record. It is an unofficial personal record.
@@JRake32 @JRake32 The Bowerman Track club hosted their own event to break the 5k American record during the pandemic, but since they were able to get it *sanctioned* by USATF an actual, credited federation, the times counted despite the circumstances being unconventional compared to other track meets.
Strongman objetively doesn't have a federation to sanction anything, so realistically, anything that even remotely resembles an official event (judges, calibrated weights, etc) is fair game.
@@RunnerBoiAt least the both of them have returned to strength sports now (Eddie winning World's Strongest Nation and Thor with a 970kg total in his powerlifting meet).
what made you lose interest
@@JRake32 His lift was sanctionned by World Ultumate Strongman and he had stricter rules than Eddie with every officals you could ask for
Seeing a big man jump that high after lifting that much weight is scary.
His deadlift was objectively the best thing in that clip, but honestly I was more impressed by his insane vertical jump height.
timestamp?
@@bingerasder6466 11:45
@@visebes9694 ty, shat my pants indeed
Post action potentiation
The fact that Eddie looked like he tapped that chair and it went flying was insane 32:50
Hello TH-cam, I am watching this video again, because this is a good content creator. Help em out!
This a very credible TH-camr indeed. TH-cam you should put this into the algorithm
Yooooo gamma loop! Didn't expect to see you here, good stuff. Definitely a good video, third time watching it.
Hell yeah!
Benni’s 460.5 is just unreal. Looked like he had even more in the tank.
The 500kg was unbelievable even with the Dead Lift suit and all of the drugs Eddie was on. He must have been chewing on "A-Bombs" and "Hallo" gummy bears for 4 weeks straight.
Reminds me of the Bulgarian Olympic Weightlifting team documentary when they were given 200 5mg of Dianabol pills for the week of a competition.
Is it news to you that literally every strongman competitor is on gear?
@@ziwuri right. Next you’re going to try and tell me pro body builders are on gear to. 😂😂
I hate when credit the steroids only, not the person who put the hard work to get the wr.
@@Skoopyghost people forget that even without PEDs of any kind, the exact same people would be at world's strongest man. They'd just not be quite as strong as they are
It's not how much weight persé Eddie pulled, it was the way he did it that made it legendary.
ummm...he nearly died
@@JohnJohnson-ze1gg yes, he did. 10/10 for you!
Eddie did the impossible, Thor did the possible.
He also advanced one of the most contested records on the planet by more than 7.5% in one stroke. It's like if someone came and ran a sub-9 second 100m.
@@branominal8564 lol relax not the same thing at all. Improving the WR in the 100m by over 1% is astronomical. Only Usain Bolt has done this since the introduction of electronic timing. Sub 9, would be a 6% increase and would be impossible. It would be like an athlete running the current WR of 9.58 all the way back in the early 1900, going from a 10.20 straight to 9.58. That is over a 100 years before it was set so way ahead of it time and mind you the WR that bolt set is already a record that is way ahead of it time and thought to be impossible and it is currently the longest standing 100m record in history.
@@afrobuddy4801 yes, exactly. From 2006 to 2016 the deadlift record only increased by 1.8% (455-463), comparable to the record progression for the 100m from 1999 to Bolt's record in 2009 (9.79 to 9.58, or 2.2%)
Then someone going sub-9 would be a 6.4% progression, so actually a 7.5% improvement would be more like someone running about 8.91 seconds
Kinda sad that my original comment is gone, but glad to say, since the time the original video dropped, i've lost about 20 lbs and live a very much more healthier live style. Thanks Etienne.
Well done, here's to a healthy life for you
Fair play.
Don’t even really care about most sports content, you are just amazing at story telling. Keep up the great content.
Benny is the absolute best raw deadlifter there is
Felt like a 5 minute video, loved it. Well done!
Holy shit it really felt like that
raw, equipped, and strongman are all different lifts, and all have their own records. So, if someone deadlifts 1000 pounds raw and another person pulls 1001 equipped, they both still have their record.
We support you
Etienne sports B)
This was an excellent presentation of the WR deadlift. Well researched. Do one on the WR bench raw and equipped and same for squat.
This channel deserves more exposure fr, great video
Thanks for your in depth review. I hope that it will bring more views and competitors to the sport!
Amazing video! Please do a squat, bench, overhead press version? So hard to find quality video series like this🙏
wild video, awesome history!! would love to see a documentary in this style about the mile 🙏
I was always interested in deadlifts so this video was quite eye opening since it really reveals the progression
Brilliant video, brilliant work. Thank you, sir !
Hey dude, enjoyed watching this. Thank you for making this video.
this video was amazing wheni watched it before. wish you best luck with the channel
I remember when I was younger watching Beni and Andy going back and forth with the record it was a lot of motivation for me back then
Great video, fun to watch. Included some interesting outside facts and gave it a story versus just a timeline.
Really hoping the channel is able to take off. Watching this again to hopefully help push it into the algorithm.
Fantastic video - well done!
Been binging this channels videos. They’re phenomenal. I would LOVE to see a squat world record progression video. Or the 400m.
Anyway, keep on trucking dude!
You got the 400m!
Love seeing the quality of video go up as time goes by, it's insane how far we've come
Fantastic video! Enjoyed it tons. Thank you man!
Wow what a great video 👍 to show my appreciation, I’m going to watch this video in full and comment to show my support! Yay!
For me Magnusson still holds the raw powerlifting record lol
Also I think what really evolved the deadlift was not suits but the figure 8s when people started to realize how God mode your grip was with figure 8s everyone started having crazy pulls awesome video man definitely subbed i love benching but the deadlift really is the lift of strength
Figure 8s pretty much eliminate the need for grip at all but that's not why the record exploded. We've seen powerlifters at much lower body weights start pulling 420-440 with mixed grip and many strongmen and powerlifters hitting 465 with normal straps. While the field isn't improving the 500/501kg mark yet the number of athletes pulling 1,000+ lbs seems to grow by leaps and bounds each year (though still a VERY small crowd). Go watch Jamaal or a few of the other insane powerlifters pulling 460+ with straps and no suit, it's insane.
@@apeekintime i disagree when it comes to lower weight powerlifters there's very few doing those feats and the ones who are, are using a technique that is debatable on whether or not is legit and all the strongman are using figure 8s for the heaviest pulls. Figure 8s changed the deadlift without them no one is pulling 500kg
@@apeekintime Why do you think powerlifter s with lower body weights are pulling 420-440?
Griggs holds the powerlifting record though?
@@branominal8564 technically yea I just think 2 inch rom is pretty disgraceful to the sport
Great video. The sport and history of the deadlift is very interesting.
Love videos like this, so awesome and informative
You deserve a bigger following.
Love this stuff man, keep them coming. I would like to see one for squat too.
Love the video. Keep up the work!
Hey man, I'm not into this sorta stuff at all, but I'm glad you're still around and doing stuff that you like. Fuck YT's inconsistencies! Hope your channel grows! It's clear you put a lot of effort into these videos.
This was abseloutly stellar, greetings and respect from Iceland
Great content just found your channel today can't wait for your progression on marathon.... Please give it to us and thank you.
glad i've got to watch a lot of these newer records :)
Thoroughly enjoyed this
Would love to see you update this video and speak about Jamal browner and other deadlift phenoms that have brought powerlifting deadlifts back to center stage for competitiveness
Sumo not deadlift
@@enzo3266Jamal has a top 5 conventional deadlift too lol, stop it.
really well made video it needs more attention
Awesome video!
I watched this whole thing and didn't realize it was an hour long! GREAT CONTENT
Wtf i just realise its an hour long after seeing your comment lol
Everything over 400 is crazy good and 500+ is just insanity.
Banger vid Brandon
Only 10 min in the 1 hr vid and we’re already at Benny…
All three lifts are insanely impressive. Thor with the heaviest deadlift ever, Eddie with the heaviest full-competition lift and a full 35kg jump over the previous record, and Benni with the strapless deadlift record that still stands a decade later.
Griggs has the powerlifting record and Eddie didn't do the full competition, but yeah
Eddie didn't do the 500 in a full competition, but he did do it in a competition.
*leaves after first event
@@Micheldied does the fact that other guys also deadlifted on the same day make a difference? If you really want to make it about competing, just say Thor was competing with Eddie's former record
@@branominal8564 I didn't say it made a difference. I just said he did it in a competition, but didn't do the full show.
Both are amazing and defy logic and reason. No human should ever be able to pull that much weight of the floor yet both did it. Both are legit in my eyes
This is incredible thanks
commenting for the algorithm, you deserve more recognition!
Great video pal 👌
gr8 vid m8, keep it up
Look at how Puffy Hafthor's head is the day he does the 501kg lift. He was as loaded as the bar was.
Yeah that’s the worst he’s ever looked
I believe he was like 460lbs that day
Probably a combination halo and anadrol 50 maybe one more
Yeah he looked like he was about to pop...
Lol and he said "I'm healthy" 🧢🧢🧢
ayo the dude that makes the rythm game videos!! immediately subbed
This video was so good dude.
It’s absolutely insane how eddie went from 463-500….disgusting
he could've lifted 600kg if only he was hydrated
He made huge improvements in 2015, you can see how much easier the record was for him there, he was probably already capable of 470-480 at that time, and then he also added a suit for 500, it makes sense tbh, but was just showcased in the most unbelievable way possible, and it paid off for him.
@@klooger28 He changed his diet and it helped a ton. Eddie talked about it in one of his videos
@@oceanbanana4341 the McDonald's only diet didn't work?
Juice for the algorithm. Great video Etienne.
Miss his old videos but I'm glad he's still around doing something he likes.
Great vid. Let's get the subs rolling in.
As someone who started powerlifting in February of this year and as someone who focuses mainly on deadlifting/squatting this is an awesome video behind the history of PowerLifting.
Great video.
This is a great video. Makes Eddie look like a real badass. The way he presents himself is kinda goofy. I love strongmen, they are great
Man, those chrome Ivanko 100s that Benni lifted in 2011 are sweet.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE A BENCH AND SQUAT ONE THIS WAS AWESOME
The deadlift world record story ends with a terrible boxing match haha
I don't do nothing of this but I watch the hour of this, great story.
Exceptional video tbh
The Deadlift is a great doc by you and I learned a lot, don't stress the comments too much lol.
The future is bright young padawan
Quality video.
What is the name of the song at 53:50?! Can't find it anywhere using reverse search
Did y’all see Bennie’s vertical good lord. Crazy power.
great video. wished it was made a few months later though so we could include the 2 other guys who has pulled 500kg sumo without suit! Jamal and some other lifter I can't remember the name of.
I broke both hips and shoulders from just watching this.
Great video. Would have loved to see the history with sumo stance as well.
If it was different weight classes there would be some sumo deadlifts in here, but not many all time world record deadlifts (absolute weight, not in weight classes) have ever been sumo
@@Jmack7861 jamal browner is getting damn close though
@@DevinHeida yeah same with Dan grigsby, I can’t wait to see it
@@Jmack7861 holy shit, just looked him up, that 487 pull is insane. I wish haters would not just look at the lift, but also see that theres no hinging, no suits and he (browner has done it in a few as well) is not using any wrist wraps.
Magnusson will always be my favorite puller.
this feels like a summoning salt video lol keep it up g
Benni is the man. We all love him, if you love deadlifts, you love benni.
etienne sports
You should do Bench next!
Kind of interesting to se the footage of Don Cundy from NRK (Norwegian tv channel from lifts done in Norway), and talking about the lift, not mentioning that Torkel Ravndal actually outlifted Cundy even at that time and event in the video. And Torkel was probably one of the strongest deadlifters in the world until some time in the 80's. Often dominating dead lift disciplines in strong men competiotions whenever he attended them. In 1970 during a Nordic competition he liftet 373kg or 822lb. His highest official approved record was 375kg or 827lb and unofficial lift was 402,5kg or 887lb and 270kg/595lb one handed.
Search up his name and have a look on some of the old videos. And have a look at how he dominates the deadlift disciplines in the strong man competions like "Viking" etc.
The elephant bar allows the weight to be lifted 2 plates at the time. The full weight isn't off the flloor unitl the competitor is well on his way to the finish.
Could you do this documentary for the squat or even the clean & Jerk?
42:11 the guy running over with some IDK wrapped into the towel to wake eddy up from the floor after that lift lol
any one know what song is at 54:00???
Excellent video, congrats.
Watching this to help a brother out for the algorithm
Notice how Eddie says he is the strictest ref in world after he dropped the 461 attempt but then basically questions his integrity by claiming thors 501 attempt can't be called legit even with the same ref being the one to judge it
Finally someone did it! *Absolutely Brilliant video* buddy! Everything was perfect, but you should have used Hafthor instead of Eddie as the thumbnail since he is the current WR holder.
Eddie is the more famous deadlifter. Or a better way to put it is Eddie is kinda the icon of the deadlift
@@oceanbanana4341 No matter how you decide, Hafthor is both the stronger and better Deadlifter than Eddie.

I think it would be cool to see a shot put or discus world record video
I watched this video and now my back hurts
Benny is the GOAT, all eras, equipment, science of training, drugs, etc are considered.
As much as I dislike the guy, I think Eddie's achievements and consistency puts him well above Benni
@@branominal8564 Benny was way more consistent at the top of his sport and did it raw. Eddie Hall was only at the top of the sport briefly and had the world record only for an instant. The raw record still stands to this day.
@@DarthBane-zf8wv Eddie held the record for 6 years, and Benni's record has been beaten
But looking back, I do agree that Benni was more consistent and was at the top for longer
@@branominal8564 Benny still has it over a decade later. it's no comparison.

My lower back started hurting just watching this.
good luck on the new channel!
I remember seeing this video already.
What channel was it on before?
Nevermind I found it.
FC Through the fire and the flames.
extremely good video, but i think you could of added a new chapter with lifters like, browner, grigsby or Krzysztof
This video was actually produced/uploaded to a different channel in October 2021, but was reuploaded to this channel just to have a vid on my new channel at the time. I thought about doing a full follow-up video detailing every single person that has had the potential to break it + the competitions they used to attempt it (Karu, Makarov, Maheripourehir, Nakonechnyy, Browner, etc), but the idea never fell through unfortunately.
I wouldn't rule it out entirely though! Maybe if I need a palette cleanser/break from Track content, I'll make another strength sports WR vid on the side for fun. Seeing this vid blow up was a shock, but nevertheless an extremely welcoming surprise since I have a great appreciation for strength sports history, and it's my first ever full-length sports documentary. I also want to cover throwing events in track and field soon, so hopefully the iron lads that enjoyed this video can at least look forward to that in the Spring/Summer.
@@RunnerBoi Why were you suprised it blew up, it is a 1 hours well made video about something no one had done a detailed video about.
I would have liked to have known what year the Texas Deadlift bar was first used in competition.
Imagine if summoning salt was on the production of this video
