Andy Bolton Challenges World's Best Deadlifters

Citation :

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about who the world's best deadlifter is at this time.

Legions of fans say that it is Latvian Konstantin Konstantinovs (275/308) who has the third highest deadlift of all-time to his name as well as the second highest raw deadlift of all-time.

Others say that it is Strongman great and occasional powerlifter, Lithuanian Zydrunas Savickas, who's recent video showed him deadlifting 947 pounds, although he used straps.

Still others continue to mention the young Icelandic puller, Benni Magnusson, who holds the second highest deadlift of all-time but has taken time off from powerlifting.

However, the man who holds the biggest deadlift in the history of the sport is Great Britain's Andy Bolton. Bolton's 1,008 pounds is a mark nobody has yet touched.

Now, Bolton has issued a challenge to all of these great deadlifters to meet him on the platform, either raw or equipped, to determine the world's best deadlifter.

Bolton: "so lets do boys i am sure there is somebody out there who would want to promote this winner take all, biggest weight wins. i have been out with a knee injury for most of end of last year but now things are getting better again. lets all go head to head early next year maybe at the arnold we can do belt only or suit and belt but no straps, soooo who is up for it. not scared of a challenge are we."

Ca promet d'être assez intéressant.

Poundstone, KK, Bolton... Ca va etre bon ça

J'espère juste que KK sera en forme. On peut dire ce que l'on veut, mais KK n'est pas loins de bolton (et ce en raw).

c'est clair il démonte KK

Les vidéos c'est tjrs "RAW, NO BELT", je trouve ça terrible

Mais en ce moment je regarde beaucoup de vidéos de Poundstone et je dois dire qu'il m'impressionne vraiment beaucoup, quel colosse. Ses trainings sont super variés en plus

Poundstone est un monstre d'un autre genre. Mais je pense pas qu'il peut gagner une compète du genre avec de tels spécialistes (Bolton, KK...) en tête d'affiche.

Mikhail Koklyaev (rappelons qu'il s'est déchiré le biceps en 2009).
