Crystal Tate joined the handful of women to deadlift 600 lbs or more at the Arnold Classic this past weekend. She competed in the XPC Finals Full Power meet in the Pro Classic -198lb weight class. The XPC’s pro classic division allows athletes to wear a belt, knee sleeves, and wraps if they choose to.
There’s no doubt that this is an epic feat of strength, but the lockout could be a little questionable. It’s hard to tell from this angle if her hips are full extended/locked, but the referee gave her the down signal, so it’s hard to argue the call itself.
She completed the meet with epic lifts including a 640 lb squat, 300 lb bench, and the 600 lb deadlift, which gave her a ridiculous 1,540 lb total.
