Andy Bolton has reportedly pulled 1003 lbs at the WPO Semis in NY. That is an AMAZING FUCKING FEAT!!!
I saw him pull 971 lbs at the Arnold. The man is a deadlift machine!
Drugs, deadlift suit, or whatever (!),this is just an INHUMAN FEAT OF STRENGTH!!!
Forget the unbelievable lower back, hip, and leg, raw brute strength to lift such a GARGANTUAN poundage for a minute and think of the additional gripping strength needed to merely hang onto a bar loaded to 1000+ lbs and not literally rip the flesh off of your hands (as has happened often to many super heavy weight deadlifters)!
