Man Lifts 1,100 lbs

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Benedikt Magnusson (what a name) lifts 1,100 lbs / 1/2 ton.

What impressed me was not so much the lift but his vertical jump at the end - I'am surprissed he got off the ground.

Here he is again but this one made me laugh - I love his MachoMan Randy Savage through your head back before you lift move - just great.

Not great technique, but great strength.

Those pre-lift theatrics put Usain Bolt to shame...

And I'm guessing not too many folks make fun of him for his long pink socks with ballet shoes look

Yeah that was at arnold classic about a 15months back i think. Him and Savickas(probably the strongest man on the planet) had a deadlift off, no one else was near. Benni out lifted him but i think Savickas could of gone more, he just chose not too because he had more of the comp to go, which he won and benni was probably there pretty much for deadlift.

Give it a couple of years and Benni will have the actual deadlift world record.

I love strongman, my 2 kind of obsessions are strength sports and Sprinting. Worlds fastest and worlds strongest, the 2 best titles in the world of sports imo.

reminds me of a hellsangel I once knew, forbid the thought of pissing off a guy like that.
