Cortese’s One-Arm Deadlift

Posted on Wednesday, February 4th, 2015 by John Wood
The one-arm deadlift has always been a fantastic lift for building an iron grip as well as all-over body strength. Here’s Pete Cortese of the Boston Young Men’s Christian Union Weightlifting Club making a record 330 lb. one-arm deadlift. This would be an impressive lift all by itself but Pete weighed all of 117 lbs. at the time.
