Bob Peoples 700 Pound Deadlift
Was doing some reading last night and it put into context just how hard a natural 700 pound deadlift is to achieve.
Bob Peoples set a deadlift record of 719 pounds, and this record stood for 50 years.
His training is interesting because he deadlifted heavy nearly day, and also focused quite often on eccentric training. In fact, he developed machines to lift the weight for him so he could practice lowering it.
A 700 natural deadlift is an amazing accomplishment.
