It’d be hard to top the weekend of March 2-5, 2023 for Victoria Long. While the strongwoman captured her second consecutive Arnold Strongwoman Classic (ASC) title<\/a> in Columbus, OH, she notched a remarkable feat in the process. On the second day of competition, Long set a new World Record by completing an Elephant Bar Deadlift<\/a> of 295.2 kilograms (651 pounds)<\/strong>. It was quite the way to put a cherry on top of a fruitful performance. <\/p>\n

The Elephant Bar deadlift was introduced by Rogue Fitness and made its debut during the 2016 ASC, though it didn’t have a record among strongwomen competitors until 2020. An Elephant Bar is a specialized barbell manufactured by Rogue Fitness. The 10-foot length is significantly longer than a traditional barbell<\/a>, which allows the bar to bend as an athlete pulls through the range of motion. The extended distance also adds “whip” to the lockout position as the weights rebound slightly from momentum. Overall, this combination makes the lift uniquely challenging compared to other deadlift variations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
