Ivan Makarov Lifts 476-kg (1,049.4-lb) Deadlift Two-Rep PR In Preparation For His Final World Record Attempt
Ivan Makarov has been the main contender for the deadlift World Record for a couple of years now, but he always fell short of the historic mark. However, with the newest update coming from Ivan, it looks like this could be his year. The elite Strongman is specialized in the deadlift, meaning his technique is close to perfect, but he has still managed to find a way to improve. This was seen in a training session performed approximately a week ago, when Ivan loaded up 476 kilograms (1,049.4 pounds) for a new deadlift two-rep PR (Personal Record) and crushed it. He then shared the achievement on Instagram.
Ivan Makarov put on a deadlift suit, lifting straps, and a lifting belt to set a 476-kilogram (1,049.4-pound) deadlift two-rep PR. All of these components are allowed in Strongman, so he will be able to use all of the equipment when he attempts the deadlift in a competition as well.

Ivan Makarov has dedicated his career to achieving an All-Time World Record Deadlift, but he has yet to accomplish it. Despite falling just short of making history, he remains determined to reach his goal. With time on his side, he continues to strive towards breaking the record. Ivan needs to deadlift over 501 kilograms (1,104.5 pounds) to break the record set by Hafthor Bjornsson in 2020.
Only two months are left until Ivan Makarov’s next appearance, which will be at the 2023 Giants Live Deadlift World Championships. This competition will take place on September 2nd in Cardiff, Wales. Gathering the 15 greatest deadlifters in the world, the only goal of the competition will be to lock out 505 kilograms (1,113.3 pounds). If anyone succeeds, they will be rewarded with $55,000. So, Ivan is hoping to have the greatest day of his life.
However, Ivan Makarov announced on Instagram that the 2023 Giants Live Deadlift World Championships will be his final competition as a professional athlete. So, this is set to be his final World Record attempt as well. Ivan’s caption was written in Russian. So, the following is a rough translation.
“As many people already know, on September 2nd will be my last performance as a professional athlete, and then a new life, new plans for mega transformation, coaching and blogging.”
Ivan Makarov has also improved his physique alongside his strength, which is evident in countless posts on Instagram, displaying huge back, arm, chest, and shoulder muscles. So, Ivan’s altered training program is obviously doing wonders for him.

Ivan Makarov has been taking a significantly different approach this year than he did before. The most notable difference is his activity level, as he has increased his daily steps to 20,000, and implemented other changes into his training and everyday life. We will soon find out if this was just what Ivan needed to break the deadlift World Record, which would also be the perfect way for him to conclude his professional career.
