She alludes to that reality in her Instagram post, saying it was &#8220;piss-easy.&#8221; The main distinction between an axle bar deadlift and a deadlift with a traditional barbell is that the axle bar is several inches thicker, which tests an athlete&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/bulletproof-your-grip-strength\/\" data-lasso-id=\"111471\">grip strength<\/a> even more than a &#8220;normal&#8221; deadlift. There&#8217;s also no flex in an axle bar, making the weight feel harder throughout the entirety of the lift.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Lovelace is the current British raw traditional deadlift record holder with <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/strongwoman-rhianon-lovelace-deadlift-530-pounds-for-national-record\/\" data-lasso-id=\"111472\">a pull of 241 kilograms (530 pounds)<\/a>. She achieved that mark at the 2022 British Powerlifting Union (BPU) Single Lift British Championships. That Lovelace can excel so well with both deadlift bars is a testament to her power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-surprise-setback\">A Surprise Setback<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately for Lovelace, she couldn&#8217;t bask in her axle deadlift training feat as much as she might have wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>Per her Instagram caption, the British athlete went to the hospital with pneumonia about two days after her staggering axle bar pull. As a result, Lovelace withdrew her apparent official attempt at the axle deadlift World Record that was going to take place on the weekend of June 10-12, 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Feels absolutely pants to do, just a really [expletive] feeling,&#8221; Lovelace wrote. &#8220;But after being discharged from the hospital last week with a severe case of pneumonia, we&#8217;re left with no other sensible option. I genuinely thought I was just run down with back-to-back records, with a tough cough, but things went south pretty quickly, and I ended up not in a great way in the hospital.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"videos\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rhianon Lovelace sets new Women&#039;s Lightweight (Under 64kg) Deadlift World Record with 260kg \/ 573lbs\" width=\"950\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cuUW2QVeNDE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>[Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/deloading-101-what-is-a-deload-and-how-do-you-do-it\/\" data-lasso-id=\"111474\">Deloading 101: What Is A Deload And How Do You Do It?<\/a>]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of her bout with pneumonia, Lovelace says she lost eight percent of her (undisclosed) bodyweight. That might throw a wrench into the rest of her competitive year in 2022. In the near purview, Lovelace has a spot in the 2022 Arnold Sports Festival UK on September 23-25, 2022, in Birmingham, England. At the time of this writing, it is unclear if she will still move forward with those plans.<\/p>\n<p>However, it doesn&#8217;t seem like she&#8217;s letting this step back ruin her long-term goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m hopeful of another deadlift attempt this year, but right now, I&#8217;m unsure if full competitions come into this season for me,&#8221; Lovelace wrote. &#8220;I&#8217;ll get to work, I know what I need to do, but these things can&#8217;t be rushed. When I&#8217;m ready, I&#8217;ll be back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image: @rhianon.lovelace.kaosstrength on Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/rhianon-lovelace-axle-deadlift-unofficial-world-record-528-pounds\/\">Rhianon Lovelace Exceeds Axle Deadlift World Record With 240-Kilogram (528-Pound) Pull<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\">Breaking Muscle<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strongwoman\/powerlifter Rhianon Lovelace is undoubtedly one of the strongest people on the planet.
