Progression of the deadlift world record

Listed below are the progressions of 7 deadlift world records across powerlifting, strongman and armlifting (sport of grip strength).

Powerlifting: raw world record, equipped world record, IPF raw world record, and IPF equipped world record (latter two are known as the drug tested records)
Strongman: standard bar world record (generally considered as the all time deadlift world record), and raw world record (also known as Elephant bar world record)
Armlifting: double overhand apollon's axle world record

Powerlifting

Raw

Note: 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.[1]
