Read articleIn case you weren’t fortunate enough to attend The Arnold this past weekend in Columbus, OH, you missed out on some truly amazing feats of strength, and perhaps no feat was more impressive than this monumental deadlift from Strongman Jerry Pritchett.

Pritchett’s longbar deadlift was not the only world record to be shattered at the 2017 Arnold Classic. Three other herculean efforts elicited new world records as well including: Hafthor Bjornsson’s 100lb sandbag toss over a 15-foot bar, Blaine Sumner’s single ply world record squat of 1,113lbs, and Ray Williams raw world record squat of 1,053lbs.
