On May 18, 2023, powerlifter Mary Duffy<\/a> shared an Instagram video of herself capturing a 140.6-kilogram (310-pound) raw deadlift<\/a> with chains<\/strong> during a training<\/a> session. According to the caption of Duffy’s social media clip, the 73-year-old’s loaded barbell<\/a> came out to 180 pounds. By affixing chains to each end, Duffy clarified that they added an additional 130 pounds to the strength<\/a> of her final lift. <\/p>\n

Duffy wore a lifting belt<\/a> to help her with the massive pulling feat and completed it from a conventional deadlift stance<\/a> while utilizing a mixed grip. This chain deadlift is nearly three-times Duffy’s most recent competition body weight of 52.2 kilograms (115 pounds).<\/p>\n
