I would struggle, but the guy I trained with before could easily do it.

He once pulled 891 for five reps... :o

891 for 5 ya sure   there might be 10 guys on the planet who can actually do that

If I tell you his name is Svend Karlsen, you still don't belive me?  ??? ::)

There is a video of Svend pulling a triple, with fairly good speed though, at 814 lbs (370 kg)

So I have a hard time believing Svend could do 5 reps with over 400 kgs (891 lbs to be exact).





For the record, I consider Svend Karlsen to be one of the best deadlifters among the strongman competitors, and also a helluva nice bloke.
