Strongwoman Rhianon Lovelace Pulls a Huge 280-kg (617.3-lb) Unofficial Deadlift World Record

Rhianon Lovelace is once again displaying her greatest attribute, which is the deadlift. She has been breaking World Records almost every time she grips the bar, regardless of the variations. Rhianon continued with her record-breaking performances, as she unofficially broke the World Record by pulling 280 kilograms (617.3 pounds).

Although the registers for Strongman and Strongwoman World Records can be a bit confusing, it seems that Rhianon Lovelace also holds the current World Record. She set it by deadlifting 272.5 kilograms (600 pounds) at the 2020 Strength Shop Record Breakers. So, Rhianon has now pulled 7.5 kilograms (17 pounds) more than the official record.

Rhianon Lovelace used a deadlift suit, lifting straps, and a lifting belt to aid her in the lift. All are perfectly legal in the sport of Strongwoman. Rhianon is now set to appear at the 2022 Berkshire’s Strongest, which will take place on July 16. She will not be a standard competitor, but will instead attempt to break the deadlift World Record.

You can watch the lift here:

“This is the number that means such an awful lot to me, (obviously aside from the 300) because when we make this Legit in Comp, I’ll have added exactly 100kg to the World Record since I first broke it in 2017❤️.”
