World record in sight

[btmagnus]

Benedikt Magnusson from Iceland just deadlifted 410kg, in his gym, on March 26.
That's 903. I know there have been heavier lifts done before, but he is 21 years old, and he made the lift look really easy. He looks to break the world record.
It can't hurt either that Magnus Ver Magnusson trains him. Even though Magnus is twice his age, he still whoops him every year at the Iceland Strongest Man contest.

lol holy shit.....got any pics of this kid?

that him?

 

[btmagnus]

Yep, that's him. There's a video online of him doing the lift. At the end Magnus comes out to congratulate him.
Jr. , you're younger than that kid, i think. When are you going to deadlift 900?

LOL he has about 300lbs on me on the DL. Unreal. Kids a beast. Do you know how much he squats and benchs?

 

[btmagnus]

At an Icelandic powerlifting meet in October 2004, he totaled 1000kg.
He squatted 370, and bench pressed 230. He weighs 325lbs!

I noticed he's using straps and a double-overhand grip. If he's gonna break that world record he better work on his grip. Still miles ahead of me at the same age, congradulations to him!
