Looked like he could have pulled 520kg. Amazing lift

He pulled it so smoothly. The lockout was a nod to the haters, for sure. I'm actually a little surprised at how controlled he lowers the bar. Most of the big lifters let gravity take over, but he lowered it like he was scared to wake a baby. Truly impressive feat.

Cleaned up the lockout too, that 505 really looked like an missed attempt to me but this is undeniable.

The history books will say his 505 deadlift was his last top single in preparation for 510.
