Overview

• Björnsson pulled 510 kilograms (1,124 pounds) on the World Deadlift Championships stage in Birmingham before a live crowd.
• He won the Strongman competition held the same day after securing the record-setting lift.
• In a pre-event vlog, he said he would not attempt more than 510kg to preserve his performance for the full show and avoid overtaxing his nervous system.
• The record builds on his sanctioned 505kg lift in July at the Eisenhart Black Competition in Bavaria.
• The progression cements his lead past Eddie Hall’s 2016 500kg milestone and follows his debated 501kg home lift in 2020.
