Peak Human LS CRT

[ThePrimalHunter]

Currently, Peak Human LS caps out at 545.2 kg due to JF Caron's hummer tire deadlift. Recently though, a man named Rauno Heinla was able to surpass this weight in the Silver Dollar Deadlift, managing to lift up 580 kg. Here's an article about it as well

This would bump up Peak Human LS by a solid 35 kg. Wouldn't change much, but it would slightly reduce the size of Class 1 (And honestly at the rate these records are being broken, I doubt we'll even need Class 1 anymore soon)

I've said it before: what we choose to use as our baseline for the top of human strength is very arbitrary. The deadlift world record or the hummer tire world record or the 18 inch world record all can serve that purpose. They're all different lifts even if they're vaguely similar movements. Same goes for the sumo deadlift world record.

So how come we wouldn't be able to use this guys deadlift? Sure, all of them can serve that pourpose, but this guys' is technically the heaviest deadlift preformed ever, so why not use this one?

 

[Crabwhale]

We could. I'm not very opinionated on which to pick to represent our strength standards.

But an 18 inch deadlift is a very different beast from a standard height one.

Man these weightlifting records keep getting broken every month

For real. I honestly won't be suprised if in 10 years or so we have to get rid of Class 1

Also btw people have lifted weight that would qualify them for Class 5 but it can't be accepted

501 deadlift was set in 2020 and no one's gotten it since. Before that, the 500 was lifted in 2016 and it took four years to be broken. If anything we're seeing a bit of a drought in record breaking rn

Damn that was THAT long ago? I still remember when that happened

Okay I just found this out and I think I should share it

The world record for a bench press is actually quite a bit higher, sitting at 635.4 kg. Should that count as the new peak human LS or no?

 

[Crabwhale]

Absolutely not.

The guy in the video is using a multi-ply compressed bench shirt. A good multi-ply shirt will not even let you bring the bar down to your body unless you've got a couple hundred kilograms on it, that's how much mechanical tension it provides. The guy is still absurdly strong but this is an extremely assisted lift. You wouldn't count someone using a powered exoskeleton to assist with lifting weight, and neither should you count this, at least not for the standards of our strength page.

As the average LS enjoyer, I agree with Crab.
