Bootcamp Glasgow - Deadlift Records

The next stop on our look at the Learn To Lift Bootcamp Glasgow records takes us to that of the Deadlift.

For some these can be the most impressive records of all as the Deadlift is the exercise where the highest total weight will be lifted.

The Bootcamp records for this are as follows:

🔹Agne - 170 kg Deadlift

This was actually an unplanned max as we were training for her first competition at the time. Said competition had a max reps at 140 kg event in it so the training was more focused on strength endurance than maximal strength. However, it paid of all the same with this big PB.

Incidentally, she also bagged a massive 140 kg x 12 reps in preparation for the competition, with a view to going beyond this mark on the day!

🔹John - 240 kg Deadlift

Big lifting by big John on this one with what was at the time a massive PB. When he first started at our Glasgow Bootcamp his best Deadlift was 150 kg. This lift obviously blew that out of the water!

One of the key rules of the Bootcamp records is that they can only be set at Bootcamp. Since hitting this lift we have had the pleasure of coaching John during numerous Strongman competitions, during which he has beat this lift by a big margin. His most recent Deadlift max attempt coming in at a massive 272.5 kg (or 600 lb for any American's out there)!

These standards will be very hard to beat but we have a number of Bootcampers coming up fast. We can't wait to see what happens once the Glasgow Bootcamp is back in full flow when the gyms are allowed to reopen.
