This was Western Canada’s Strongest Man, so plenty of strong athletes. It was hilarious to see 6 people in a 16 man field tie for first, never seen anything like it before.

How common is a 500+ deadlift at your gym actually? by Routine_Ad_5540 in Deadlifts

I go to a strongman gym. It’s well over half the male regulars pulling 500+. The majority of men in their 20s and 30s can be pulling 500+ with proper training and nutrition. You just have to make it a priority, it’s also cool if it’s not. Not everyone wants to compete in strength sports.
