Roughly 11 months after tearing his lat, strongman Nick Best pulled 755 pounds off of the floor \u2014 raw<\/strong>. Now that’s what you call a comeback.<\/p>\n

Best’s injury happened during the 2021 WRPF Kern US Open on April 24-25 (where he ranked third overall). Ever since he’s taken the appropriate time and steps to heal while he trains. His latest recovery feat \u2014 the staggering deadlift<\/a> session recorded in his garage \u2014 might signify that he’s well on his way back to competing. <\/p>\n

On March 27, 2022, Best shared a video of him pulling a 342.5-kilogram (755-pound) deadlift on his Instagram profile. Also of note, the strongman opted for an over-under grip and did not use straps.<\/p>\n
