Video of Matt Kroczaleski's 810 lb Deadlift

Submitted by Staff on August 28, 2008 - 8:30am.

Here's video of Matt Kroczaleski, 242, deadlifting 810 pounds at last weekend's IPA Power Station Pro-Am in Sharonville, Ohio. Due to injuries, Kroczaleski only took a token squat and bench press. The pull was the second highest of the meet, only trailing Chuck Fought's 875 pounder to win the 308's. Also included is video of Kroczaleski's 800 pound second attempt. He opened with a successful pull of 760 pounds.

Kroc weighed in at 220 not 242. He said that was the last time he was going to make that cut. Hopefully he stnads by his word but I aint buying it. He's to fukking big for 220!

Where is his huge squat and bench video? I know Ken got pics but someone has to have video!

The official results list him at 242.

Great pulls!!! It would have been awesome to see him do the full meet and see what numbers he would have hit. Great job.

LOL!

But someone would end up saying that he squatted high and didnt lock out his bench.

The knees were locked on the 800 pull but not locked on the 810.

Thanks guys. I did actually weigh in at 220. If you look at the official meet results even though they mistakenly put me in the 242s the bodyweight says 220.2. I didn't cut 32lbs in 20 hours to go 242! lol

And yes this will be my last meet at 220. Look for me to be a full 275 by this time next year. I am excited to see what the added size does to my strength levels.
