Don't let getbiggers fool you, there aren't 50 guys in their gym warming up with that weight. ;)

I'd like to set up a max deadlift comp for the powerlifting board....hmm, may be a good idea. :)

For a really big meet, he'd need to add quite a bit to it, Ed Coan's record is 901lbs at #220. As mentioned after say the #220 class, bodyweight takes a toll, very rare to see a 3x Bodyweight deadlift from the bigger guys.
