The Silver Dollar deadlift yet again has a new top dog. On May 1, 2022, Ben Thompson pulled a 557.2-kilogram (1,272.5-pound) Silver Dollar deadlift<\/a> during the 2022 World Deadlift Council (WDC) World Silver Dollar Championships in Paisley, Scotland. Thompson’s figure was enough to notch the overall victory and the new all-time Silver Dollar deadlift world record. A Silver Dollar deadlift is a partial deadlift where the barbell stands on top of 18-inch platforms.<\/p>\n

Given that this was an online-only competition, Thompson shared his result with footage of the feat a week in advance before the final deadline. The World Deadlift Council (WDC) tabulated the final results<\/a> \u2014 with Thompson on top \u2014 on Sunday, May 8, 2022.<\/p>\n

\n

“We have to wait until next Sunday for results but I think with a number like this, you can guess how defending the title of  ‘silver dollar deadlift world champion’ went.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thompson’s elite Silver Dollar mark surpasses the previous top number by 17.2 kilograms (37.9 pounds). He tops Sean Hayes<\/a>, who pulled 560 kilograms (1,235 pounds) during the 2022 Strongman Corporation Canada King & Queen Of The Throne in early April 2022. Hayes exceeded that weight by a tenth of a kilogram during the WDC competition, but it ultimately did not hold thanks to Thompson’s lofty strength<\/a> achievement.<\/p>\n

Both Thompson and Hayes wore lifting belts<\/a> and wrist wraps for their respective pulls.<\/a> However, Hayes was barefoot, while Thompson wore a deadlift suit and was in his socks. He also used an overhand grip. The two did not share their body weights for the respective pulls.<\/p>\n

Note: Thompson listed his pull as 1,270 pounds while the WDC qualified it as 1,275.2 pounds.<\/em><\/p>\n
