About the 66 kg Single-ply Deadlift Record

The 66 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 66 kg.

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 66 kg mark sits on that curve.
