All-time progression across all strength sports

Listed below is the all-time deadlift world record progression across powerlifting (raw), powerlifting (equipped), and strongman.

Notes: Despite historical claims about Hermann Görner, Bob Peoples and Benoit Cote having lifted heavier numbers, it is Terry Todd and Wilbur Miller who are generally considered the first two individuals to break the 317.5 kg (700 lb) barrier in a documented and official setting with irrefutable evidence, hence initiating the inaugural official world record deadlift in 1964.[2]

From 1964 to July 2014, powerlifting record stood as the all-time world record. In August 2014, strongman record surpassed it and to-date stands as the all-time world record.

Progressions across individual strength sports

Powerlifting

In powerlifting, raw lifting allows only the use of a lifting belt, while equipped lifting allows the use of a deadlift suit, which is an elastic clothing made from very tight material (the suit tightens on the squat on the way down, storing energy, that gives an extra boost with the stored tension to break the floor).

Strongman

In strongman, raw lifting means lifting without a deadlift suit (which allows the use of a lifting belt & straps), while equipped lifting allows the use of a deadlift suit in addition to lifting belt & straps.

Includes: a.) Standard Deadlift bar, Power bar, Ironmind S-cubed Stiff bar and Flintstone bar depending on the evolution of the sport, b.) lifts from standard 9 inch height only (except for 2011-2013 when a 1 inch deficit was introduced), c.) both figure 6 and figure 8 (F8) straps, and d.) both single-ply (S) and multi-ply (M) deadlift suits.

Armlifting

Double overhand Apollon's Axle

The Apollon's Axle is a challenging feat for its three notable features that made it hard to lift: the thick, nearly 2-inch diameter of the bar, its smooth surface and because the wheels are not revolving.

Note: The original Apollon's Axle was 1.93 inches thick. However, the IronMind Axle which was used for all of the records below has a thickness of 2 inches.

However the setup used did not allow the bar to stay at the standard 9 inches off the floor, making them 'slightly' elevated deadlifts.
