Joe Mackey Scores A 362.8-Kilogram (800-Pound) 4-Rep Deadlift PR

Scoring titanic deadlifts that actually bend a loaded barbell is nothing out of the atypical for Mackey. He recurrently makes it some extent to showcase his deadlift-focused energy, particularly over his Instagram profile. The approximate previous yr alone has meant large progress for the athlete in a couple of extraordinary circumstances.

In late April 2022, Mackey formally joined the 408.2-kilogram (900-pound) uncooked deadlift membership with a massive single PR. Later, on the Iron Wars VI in Might 2022, Mackey recorded a 385.5-kilogram (850-pound) raw pull. Then, in January 2023, Mackey formally topped his earlier single PR with a uncooked deadlift of 412.8 kilograms (910 kilos) at the Iron Wars VII.

In a show of pure leg prowess, Mackey has proven off different points of his power these days, too. A 449-kilogram (990-pound) hack squat for 5 reps from March 2023 is a perfect example. As a result of an athlete should primarily depend on their quads to complete hack squat repetitions by the character of the machine, it’s clear Mackey hasn’t uncared for different points of his lower body.

Outdoors of a powerlifting and power context, Mackey fared comparatively properly in a few of his most up-to-date bodybuilding forays. Mackey completed in fourth place within the Males’s Open division on the 2022 Tampa Pro and adopted that up with a ninth-place efficiency on the 2022 Texas Pro. Whereas unconfirmed on the time of this text’s publication, Mackey will presumably work on qualifying for his first-ever Mr. Olympia in November after falling in need of reaching the game’s pinnacle competitors in 2022. To realize that theoretical mission, he should win an Worldwide Federation of Bodybuilding and Health (IFBB) Professional League contest on the 2023 calendar.
