Benedikt Magnusson: 460-kg Deadlift

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2011

“Just a quick email to let you know Benni pulled 460 kg /1015 lb. RAW at the Ronnie Coleman Classic today in Texas,” Gemma Taylor Magnusson reported to IronMind last night.

And if that’s not enough, Gemma also said that her powerful Icelandic husband, Benedikt, “then did 22 reps with 260 kg afterward.”

Good thing nobody called for another encore or who knows what Benedikt Magnusson might have lifted next.
