Andy Bolton deadlifted 1,003 pounds today at the WPO Semi-Finals in Lake George, New York. That makes Bolton the first person to ever deadlift over 1,000 pounds and bumps his all-time record deadlift up from 971 pounds.

Hell yeah!

Flabergasted ... Hats off to that. He broke the universal mind block. I believe it will be lifted again now that it's in the realm of possibility.

That is sick. I have a buddy that went up there this weekend, he said that the level of competition is just unreal.

Rule of thumb is that you'll have a video after about 2 days, maybe tomorrow in this case.

Crappy video, but the only one in existence right now as far as I know.

Compared to the other PL records, I'd definitely agree.
