Powerlifter Shane Hunt Smashes Massive 926-lb Deadlift Three-Rep PR

Shane Hunt is a highly regarded athlete who is commonly recognized for his strength and sheer size. Even after acknowledging his humongous lifts, many still can’t fathom what an impressive specimen he actually is. However, he continues to improve on every aspect of his physical shape. So, most recently, Shane achieved a 926-pound deadlift three-rep personal record (PR). Afterward, he posted about his latest success on Instagram.
Upon loading the 926 pounds onto the barbell and getting ready to lift it, a crowd of people gathered around Shane Hunt to witness his mind-blowing deadlift. However, after putting his headphones on, Shane turned his focus to the task ahead of him.
Shane Hunt got comfortable in a sumo stance and wrapped his lifting straps around the bar. When he began deadlifting the 926 pounds, he made all three repetitions appear effortless.
Seeing that Shane Hunt used lifting straps to achieve the lift, it would not count in a powerlifting competition. However, that still doesn’t undermine the fact that this is the heaviest that he has ever managed to perform three reps with.

Currently, Shane Hunt is preparing for his next appearance, which is not far off. Despite the fact that the competition in which he intends to compete is currently unnamed, he has revealed that it will take place within about eight weeks. This comes as a surprise, since Shane has competed just a few weeks ago as well.
Shane Hunt seems to be particularly active compared to the past few years. We are just five months into 2023, but he has already taken part in the 2023 Ghost Clash 2 and 2023 Pioneer On The Beach. However, this proves that Shane is hopeful of breaking some records and ready to do everything in his power for this feat.
A decade in the making, Shane Hunt’s resume is now filled with incredible achievements. He has taken part in 16 sanctioned powerlifting competitions and won 12 of them. Moreover, he is regarded as one of the greatest deadlifters in history.

Not many people have achieved a deadlift of over 1,000 pounds, but Shane Hunt is currently very close to joining that exclusive minority. His training sessions are always at maximum force, which is why he is reaching new heights during workouts.
