Magnus Ver reported, "Benedikt Magnusson deadlifted a new world reckord 440 kg/970 lb. the biggest deddlift in histori at the Helsinki WPO event. He took token openers on the squat and bench and opened the deddlift with a new reckord 426 kg, then Andi Bolton broke Benidikts new set reckord by pulling 427,5 kg but had no answer to Benidikts 440, Benidikt even pulled 455 kg/1003 lb.! Up to the knees. So Benidikt Magnusson is the worlds strongest deddlifter."
