American Brian Shaw was crowned World’s Strongest Man after winning the 2013 competition, and his path to the title included dead lifting 442.5 kilograms – 975 pounds. Supporters yelled, “Pick it up!” as Shaw lifted the massive weight, which almost looked cartoonist in size!

His technique is amazing to say the least
I'll take note for next time I help a taller dude out
 
It's a strongman WR
The bar doesn't bend as much or some such
Benni used a deadlift bar and it was a powerlifting meet (deadlift only)
Not taking away from eithers accomplishments

Any bar can be used in a strongman deadlift. Previous record was 440kg by Laurence Shahlaei done with a Texas bar and calibrated plates.

Basically the term strongman deadlift means you can use straps, suit and hitch.
