Powerlifter Shane Hunt Smashes Massive 926-lb Deadlift Three-Rep PR

Shane Hunt is a highly regarded athlete who is commonly recognized for his strength and sheer size. Even after acknowledging his humongous lifts, many still can’t fathom what an impressive specimen he actually is. However, he continues to improve on every aspect of his physical shape. So, most recently, Shane achieved a 926-pound deadlift three-rep personal record (PR). Afterward, he posted about his latest success on Instagram.

Upon loading the 926 pounds onto the barbell and getting ready to lift it, a crowd of people gathered around Shane Hunt to witness his mind-blowing deadlift. However, after putting his headphones on, Shane turned his focus to the task ahead of him.

Shane Hunt got comfortable in a sumo stance and wrapped his lifting straps around the bar. When he began deadlifting the 926 pounds, he made all three repetitions appear effortless.

Seeing that Shane Hunt used lifting straps to achieve the lift, it would not count in a powerlifting competition. However, that still doesn’t undermine the fact that this is the heaviest that he has ever managed to perform three reps with.
