2008-08-11 15:52:00

Mark Felix has been doing something of a Tour de France in the strongman world this season, and after one international competition followed by another this year, he headed off the to gym this past weekend and did a little deadlifting . . . just for the fun of it.

If it's not nailed down, chances are good that Mark Felix can deadlift it, and this weekend he pulled 405 kg on a whim. IronMind® | Photo courtesy of the Adlington Barbell Club.

"Felix pulled 405 kg on a standard bar without straps on Saturday," a source close to the action told IronMind®. "After 8 international comps he only went down to show his support, but the magic took over and he joined in with 405 kg." Saying that Mark Felix has been taking some flak on the forums about his recent placings, "This will put a spanner in the works before the World's [Strongest Man contest]."
