Bj\u00f6rnsson then surpassed his rival by a single kilogram at the 2020 World&#8217;s Ultimate Strongman &#8220;Feats of Strength Series.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Notably, aside from the formal competition difference, there are other vital distinctions between Wierzbicki&#8217;s historic pull and that of his 500-kilogram predecessors. The powerlifter Wierzbicki completed his deadlift from a sumo stance \u2014 which isn&#8217;t legal during strongman competitions. In addition, the Polish athlete just used wrist straps. Bj\u00f6rnsson and Hall wore wrist straps and deadlift suits for their pulls.<\/p>\n<p>With Wierzbicki&#8217;s record taken into account, here&#8217;s a shortlist of the heaviest deadlifts of all time:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"heaviest-recorded-deadlifts-in-history\"><strong>Heaviest Recorded Deadlifts in History\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Krzysztof Wierzbicki (Poland)<\/strong> \u2014 502.5 kilograms (1,107 pounds) | Unofficial Record<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hafthor Bj\u00f6rnsson (Iceland)<\/strong> \u2014 501 kilograms (1,104.5 pounds) | All-time World Record<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eddie Hall (United Kingdom)<\/strong> \u2014 500 kilograms (1,102.3 pounds)<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/powerlifter-danny-grigsby-deadlift-964-pounds-2-reps\/\" data-lasso-id=\"103123\">Danny Grigsby<\/a> (United States)<\/strong> \u2014 465 kilograms (1,025.2 pounds) | Full Power Meet Record<\/li>\n<li><strong>Benedikt Magn\u00fasson (Iceland)<\/strong> \u2014 465 kilograms (1,025.2 pounds) | Deadlift-only Meet<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Whether Wierzbicki is capable of eclipsing Bj\u00f6rnsson and Hall on their strongman, conventional, fully equipped terms is unclear.
