The International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro League member has made past headlines for being a versatile deadlifting dynamo, having once pulled 385.5 kilograms (850 pounds) <a data-lasso-id=\"188898\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/iron-wars-vi-joe-mackey-deadlift-850-pounds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the Iron Wars VI in 2022<\/a>. With a new year in full swing, Mackey built on that <a data-lasso-id=\"188899\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/how-to-build-strength\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strength<\/a> feat, illustrating the months ahead might be even more fruitful. <\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 13, 2023, <strong>Mackey successfully <a data-lasso-id=\"188900\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/deadlift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deadlifted<\/a> 412.8 kilograms (910 pounds)<\/strong> during the Iron Wars VII contest in Signal Hill, CA. Mackey&#8217;s pulling showcase is <strong>a personal record (PR)<\/strong>. It was one of the fitting headline moments for strength personality C.T. Fletcher&#8217;s annual competition allowing various athletes to display unique power. Mackey used a <a data-lasso-id=\"188901\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/deadlift-vs-sumo-deadlift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conventional stance<\/a>, wore a <a data-lasso-id=\"188902\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/5-mistakes-you-might-be-making-with-your-weightlifting-belt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lifting belt<\/a> and lifting straps to help with his pull, and even had weight plates taped to the ends of his <a data-lasso-id=\"188903\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/7-steps-to-barbell-etiquette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overloaded barbell<\/a> to provide enough of a challenge. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CnYViQlpvh5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
