By all accounts and appearances, when Icelandic strength star Benedikt Magnusson pulled a 410-kg deadlift on Friday, he didn't just make the lift - it was easy for him.
Where do you go from there?
Hjalti Arnason says that Benedikt Magnusson "wants to do 430 at the Icelandic Championships on the 16th of April," which would exceed the best deadlift in history: Andy Bolton's 423-kg lift.
