 904.0 (410.0) 3.28X 275 (125) Dan Wohleber (US/61) 12/12/82 (900.0 lb. @ 268.0 lb., which later weighed out at 904.0 lb. First man to deadlift 900 pounds.) (Sandusky, Ohio) (NSM)

Paul Anderson-820 pounds, he pulled a massive 1000 pounds using metal hooks attached to his wrists. This assisted deadlift was witnessed by Tommy Kono

i dont agree with the 1000 deadlift of anderson . metal hooks or not it goes with the 6200 backlift .. now unfortunately they deadlift often with straps .
