Jory Ladewig – 342kg @100kg and 19 years old.
The most impressive lift I’ve ever witnessed at Strength Sports Gym.
Not only is this the biggest deadlift a Powerlifting Australia (Drug Tested) lifter has ever pulled raw but it’s also 17kg above the IPF junior world record.
This is also a 32kg PB for Jory, and the first genuine 1RM attempt he has made after switching to Sumo from his previous best deadlift of 310kg conventional.
I’m currently programming him for the Powerlifting Australia Nationals in Brisbane in October where he will compete in the 105kg division.
