Recently, he stunned the bodybuilding and fitness community by deadlifting a jaw-dropping 860 lbs for three reps. This incredible feat showcases his unmatched strength and dedication.

The former Strongman champ shared his feat on Instagram, posting a snippet of his video, with the caption, “390kg / 860lbs x 3.” He also invited fans to watch the full video on his YouTube channel, where he detailed his impressive lifting session.
