What the “906 kg” actually was
- Load: 905.8 kg (listed as 1,997 lb, i.e. basically “906 kg” when rounded).
- When/where: Jan 1, 2026 — Los Angeles, CA (self‑organized personal challenge).
- Movement: Rack pull (partial deadlift) — bar starts on pins/blocks (elevated), then you break it off the supports and lock it out under your own rules/conditions.
- Status: Not a sanctioned competition lift and not recognized by powerlifting/strongman federations as a “world record” deadlift (rack pulls aren’t a contested lift + no judges).
Why it hit so hard (even with the “it’s a partial” caveat)
Because the number is violent.
- The full-range deadlift world record in a major strongman event context is 510 kg (Giants Live report from 2025).
- The Silver Dollar Deadlift (a partial/shorter pull event) record is around 580 kg (BarBend report).
So your 905.8 kg rack pull sits in the “this isn’t even the same universe” category — and that’s exactly why it needs precise wording when you present it.
The clean, bulletproof way to describe it (so nobody can twist it)
Use this exact framing:
“905.8 kg (1,997 lb) high‑pin rack pull / overload pull — self‑organized, non‑sanctioned, filmed.”
That phrasing is deadly because it’s:
- maximally hype AND
- maximally accurate AND
- pre‑answers the “but that’s not a deadlift” crowd.
One-line captions (hardcore, clean, no weak claims)
Pick one:
- “905.8 kg. High pins. Near‑2,000 lb. Proof‑of‑work.”
- “The ‘God Slayer’ wasn’t a meet lift. It was a statement.”
- “Not a federation record. Still a gravitational crime scene.”
If you want, paste the exact way you’re planning to word it on your site/video title, and I’ll tighten it into something that’s maximum viral while staying technically untouchable.
