Age is just a number! Nick Best at 53 years old pulled 50x 500lb on the deadlift
Author: For fifty-three-year-old strongman Nick Best, age is just a number. Even at this advanced age, he has shown everyone that he is definitely not an old man yet. On the contrary. Nick keeps on working hard. He recently posted a post on his Instagram in which he lifted 500lb (226.7962kg) on a deadlift. You'd think it's no big deal that even older fighters can lift 500lb. But Nick was able to lift that weight 10 times in five sets! And that takes a lot of strength and self-denial...
Nick is currently recovering from an injury he suffered at the Kern Open 2021. He competed in the masters category at that event in the over 50 age group, where he finished in third place.
Since his debut in 1991, Best has been one of the best known powerlifters of all time. He won a gold medal during his first United States Powerlifting Federation competition in 1991. But Best's strongman career is not to be dismissed either. He has competed in the World's Strongest Man competition 10 times and his best finish was 6th place. He has two second place finishes at Giants Live Australia and won a bronze medal at the 2007 America's Strongest Man competition!
