Despite being 41 years old, Rauno Heinla continues to compete effortlessly against much younger athletes in the Strongman circuit. He stands out particularly in the deadlift, where he exhibits extraordinary strength, potentially making him the strongest deadlifter alive. He has now once again found improvement in this event, having set a 540-kilogram (1,190.5-pound) 18-inch Deadlift World Record. He immediately turned to Instagram in order to share the feat of strength with his fans.

Rauno Heinla competed at the 2023 Tartu Rammumees ja Rammunaine competition, which took place in Tartu, Estonia, on July 22nd. Apparently, he competed only for the purpose of breaking the record, which he very successfully achieved.

Rauno Heinla put on a lifting belt and figure-eight lifting straps to complete this lift. He also did not wear any shoes in order to make the lift just a bit easier. He then took the position and started pulling. The 540 kilograms (1,190.5 pounds) flew up, as Rauno showed no signs of struggle.

The previous 18-inch Deadlift World Record was held by Oleksii Novikov, who locked out 537.5 kilograms (1,185 pounds) at the 2020 World’s Strongest Man. In fact, Oleksii congratulated Rauno Heinla on his new World Record in the comments section of the post.

Many of Rauno Heinla’s fans commented that his 540-kilogram (1,190.5-pound) 18-inch Deadlift World Record looked very easy. So, Rauno responded to one comment and revealed what he thinks.

“You made that look easy!! 🙌🏽💪🏽” wrote one commenter.

“it was 😂” responded Rauno Heinla.

This was Rauno Heinla’s third Deadlift World Record in a span of just over one year. He first set a new Silver Dollar Deadlift World Record of 580 kilograms (1,278.7 pounds) in June 2022. He then followed it up with a Masters Deadlift World Record on a standard barbell, which came out to 476 kilograms (1,049.4 pounds) just two months later.

Rauno took part in 51 International Strongman competitions during his 14 years of competing and won four of them. He also won six National Championships, which earned him the title of Estonia’s Strongest Man.

Rauno Heinla has spent some time battling injuries and illnesses. Thankfully, that is no longer an issue as Rauno is healthy and preparing for the 2023 Giants Live World Open & Deadlift World Championships on September 2nd.

Rauno Heinla will also be battling for the title of 2023 World’s Strongest Master at the OSG Games in December of this year. He is definitely one of the favorites, especially now after setting the 540-kilogram (1,190.5-pound) 18-inch Deadlift World Record. With three records under his belt, it will be interesting to see what goals Rauno will chase in the future.
