About the 120+ kg Single-ply Deadlift Record

The 120+ kg weight class is one of the standard men's bodyweight categories contested across major powerlifting federations including the IPF, USAPL, USPA, and WRPF. The single-ply deadlift record in this class represents the heaviest verified competition deadlift by an athlete weighing up to 120 kg and above.

Weight-class records reward relative strength rather than absolute load: a lifter in a lighter class who matches a heavier class's number is, pound for pound, the stronger athlete. Comparing the record across every class - as the table above does - shows exactly where the 120+ kg mark sits on that curve. View the full all-time single-ply deadlift rankings for the top 20 lifters and the historical record progression.
