YouTube - Benedict Magnusson Raw Deadlift WR 442,5kg!
This is an insane pull, 10kg more than Bolton's previous raw record.
Here's a picture of some of the results from that meet:

Recently when I start getting heavy on my deadlifts I get a pain/soreness in my right lower ribs ( in the muscle not the bone ), it doesn't seem to effect any other exercises, I can kinda feel it doing rows. Basically its enough to stop me from trying to lift the weight and then I psych myself...
Hey guys,
I haven't dl or front squatted in about 2 weeks due to being sick, and for the last few days it feels like the joints in my lower back are really sore and slightly painful when i bend forwards, so im pretty sure its not muscular.
I don't really get this pain while i am in the...
I've been lifting on and off for most of this year (I've had a few breaks due to injury, holiday, work, <enter excuses here>) but having never done deadlifts before I thought I should get someone to check out my form before the weight gets much more and I do some damage.
I took the video camera...
The Deadlift is Not a “Dead Lift”
By Mark Philippi
This article is a newer edition of an article that I wrote quite a few years ago. I have found that for a time many coaches shunned using the deadlift because it was for “powerlifters” and was too slow of a movement for athletics. I even...

Weightlifting Fail from failblog - Video
This has happened to me. I had to squat down over the bar and ended up on my knees after I put the bar down. In the video the guy laughs when the deadlifter smashes his face into the free weights stand. :p
I have only had one session of deadlifts with a trainer prior to today. I did my first set this morning without my trainer, and started on a very low weight, so I could practice form (having watched numerous Youtube videos on the subject last night just to be double sure I remembered my traners...
