Super Impresive.
I think he hit like 800 x 8 in training too? Thats almost as impressive as the big pull!
Does bolton have the all-time total today? I think he must be getting close.

It would look even more impressive if he had used 20 regular gym plates.

Is it me or does it look like he didn't fully lock it out? He also seemed like he looked at the judges to see if he was red-lighted, but they approved it. I think they got caught up in the moment
Oh well it passed and that's all that matters now, a 4-digit pull is one hell of a feat.

Light weight, Chuck Norris can deadlift more using his index finger. Only his right one though, as he broke his left one attempting a 3000 pounds deadlift.
