David Ricks (63 years old) pulled 5x285kg on the deadlift!

David Ricks has had one of the most amazing careers in powerlifting, having competed professionally since 1981. He has competed in over 90 sanctioned powerlifting competitions and won a large portion of them. Most notably, David is a 10-time IPF World Champion and 30-time National Champion. He has also been inducted into the USAPL Men's Hall of Fame.

Ricks is currently preparing for the 2022 IPF World Classic & Equipped Masters Powerlifting Championships, which will be held October 8-15 in Newfoundland, Canada.

Although Rick has over a month to prepare, we all have to admit that he is in great shape and is already putting in incredible performances. He lifted 5x285kg at a recent training session!
