EXALT GYM presents: the night of the living dead: professional deadlift competition: Urbank Breaks All-time American Record at the NOTLD

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.

Urbank Breaks All-time American Record at the NOTLD

Vincent Urbank became the greatest 308 deadlifter in the history of America by destroying 906 on his opener at the NOTLD. He then called for 936 on his third to be the greatest deadlifter in American history regardless of bodyweight, but that bid fell just short. He is only 3 pounds off the all-time world record 308 pull and will no doubt eclipse that record soon if he so desires.
