Richard Hawthorne, 132, deadlifted 600 pounds at yesterday's WABDL Southwest Classic in Humble, Texas. The effort pushes his own World and National Records up from 580 pounds and ranks him first on the Powerlifting Watch Lifter Rankings. He also holds the 123 class WABDL National Record. Hawthorne started with a successful opener of 551 pounds, claimed the record on his second attempt, then missed a final pull at 611 pounds. He'll next be on the platform at the WABDL World Championships in November.

Very impressive. This really puts into context just how awesome Lamar Gant's 683 really was.

I wish someone would bring back a suit that is as good as the Marathon. I have tried every type available and still get more out of my old deadlift marathon suit, that is 10 years old, with runs down the front and back.

Gents,
Not to get off subject, but that is mastermonster's signature. it is in every post that he writes. Mastermonster is sponsored by Titan. He wasn't saying the lifters were.
