Progression of the deadlift world record

Listed below are the progressions of 7 deadlift world records across powerlifting, strongman and armlifting (sport of grip strength), and ultimately, the all-time progression across all strength sports.[1]

Measured weight

Powerlifting

In powerlifting, raw lifting allows only the use of a lifting belt, while equipped lifting allows the use of a deadlift suit, which is an elastic clothing made from very tight material (the suit tightens on the squat on the way down, storing energy, that gives an extra boost with the stored tension to break the floor).

Raw

Note: Despite historical claims about Hermann Görner, Bob Peoples and Benoit Cote having lifted heavier numbers, it is Terry Todd and Wilbur Miller who are generally considered the first two individuals to break the 317.5 kg (700 lb) barrier in a documented and official setting with irrefutable evidence, hence initiating the inaugural official world record deadlift in 1964.[2]

Strongman

In strongman, raw lifting means lifting without a deadlift suit (which allows the use of a lifting belt & straps), while equipped lifting allows the use of a deadlift suit in addition to lifting belt & straps.

Includes: a.) Standard Deadlift bar, Power bar, Ironmind S-cubed Stiff bar and Flintstone bar depending on the evolution of the sport, b.) lifts from standard 9 inch height only (except for 2011-2013 when a 1 inch deficit was introduced), c.) both figure 6 and figure 8 (F8) straps, and d.) both single-ply (S) and multi-ply (M) deadlift suits.

Armlifting

Double overhand Apollon's Axle

The Apollon's Axle is a challenging feat for its three notable features that made it hard to lift: the thick, nearly 2-inch diameter of the bar, its smooth surface and because the wheels are not revolving.

  4. ^ In 1981 Bill Kazmaier did a 415 kg (915 lb) strongman style standard deadlift with straps and in 1987 Jón Páll Sigmarsson did 427.5 kg (942 lb) with the exact same criteria. However the setup used did not allow the bar to stay at the standard 9 inches off the floor, making them 'slightly' elevated deadlifts.
