900 Pound Deadlift Hall of Fame


thats pretty good company

[Scott Porter]

Ed Coan's 900 deadlift at 220 lbs. is the most impressive in my book.

And that would be awesome if Brad G. could join the list of 900 pullers.

[Ryan Wells]

Now let's ask, how many people over the age of 40. It can't be many.

[Jason Alencewicz]

didnt coan do it raw as well?

[MalachiMcMullen]

I think Coan's was raw, but don't quote me. The oldest 900 puller on that list is Frank who pulled his 931 at 38, no 40+ pullers there... yet.

[Kevin Cronin]

I'm confused. 400kg is 881lbs - where did brad say he's going for 900? Don't get me wrong, I hope he does it, and I hope I'm there to see it. I don't question whether he's capable of it, but he's talking about a 5kg PR, not a 14kg/30ish lb PR :confused:

[Ryan Wells]

Ut oh, math check. How the heck did I get 900 out of that (sigh). two dimes shy of. Sorry everyone. Still a big pull for IPF standards and double overhand.

Believe it or not, I'm college edumacated too.

[Nikhil Rao]

it would be awesome to see him pull a 904. Huge fan of Gillingham's. The guy has serious longevity and consistency.

[Ashley Christopher Moore]

How old is Bolton? I wonder if he will still pull over 1,000 when he is 40+.

Also,I hope Brad does pull 900 or more in the future he deserves it.
