83kg World Record Deadlift Attempt

The current World record Deadlift for the 83kg is 325.5kg at the time of writing this article. Catch the crazy story of the accidental World record attempt at the Canadian Powerlifting Championships Centrals competition.

I could not place any lower than third so my handler became extremely ambitions. In order to push me forward in the standings he had submitted my final deadlift at 325kg. Before this lift I was 8/8 with my attempts and everything moved extremely smoothly.  Right before I stepped out my handler told me keep doing what you have been doing but heads up the weight will be heavy. I found out extremely quickly when I went to lift the weight it was much more than I have ever attempted! Or I just became really weak. Fortunately I didn’t lose strength I just missed the current world record for my weight class.
