EXALT GYM presents: the night of the living dead: professional deadlift competition: Richard Hawthorne Dominates the NOTLD on Formula

WHAT IS THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ?

The Night of the Living Dead began for several reasons. First, the country needed a professional deadlift only meet as there was not one at its inception. Second, the area had forgotten its rich deadlifting history and needed an event to remind the people of their iron-laden past. Third, I had just started a high school powerlifting team and we had no money. The NOTLD allowed us to raise money for the kids and to bring in some of the greatest deadlifters on earth to inspire them to new heights.

What began as a small meet with 10 lifters has turned into the most exciting deadlift meet in the world attracting the premier deadlifters from America and even a few from overseas.

Richard Hawthorne Dominates the NOTLD on Formula

NOTLD first timer, Richard Hawthorne, dominated the field for the best coefficient deadlift by pulling 4.9 times his bodyweight. He is an amazing lifter and only weighed in at 125.6 pounds and ripped up an astounding 611 pounds. He also recieved the first ever NOTLD championship belt presented by Xtreme Power TV. Richard assured us that he is not taking the belt lightly and will be training hard to defend it in 2012 against all comers. You better start training now to have any chance at prying his fingers off of his strap.
