Deadlift World Records

Stanley Tomajko, 61, deadlifted 505 pounds, more than two and a half times his 192-pound (87-kilogram) bodyweight, for two full reps in his barn gym in Strasburg, Virginia, holding the bar with a double-underhand hook grip, both palms facing forward. A pair of large spoked wheels on the barbell sets it about 13 inches off the floor, the classic wagon wheel deadlift height from strongman, with three 45-pound plates and one 50-pound plate stacked outside each wheel. The continuous video shows both pulls to a full standing lockout with the wheels resting on the floor between reps, and Stanley itemized the load (plates, wheels, a 44-pound bar and collars) to the 505-pound total. Surrounded by anvils, ropes and antique iron, it is old-school strength in every sense.

Daniel Tochev grips the middle of a loaded barbell with his right hand in a living room in Pleven, Bulgaria, pulls it to a standing lockout and holds it clear of the floor for several seconds, flashing a victory sign with his free hand. He then strips the bar and weighs every plate together with the bar on a platform scale, which reads 156.30 kilograms, before stepping onto the same scale himself at 61.8 kilograms. That's about two and a half times his bodyweight, on one hand.
