POWERLIFTER

ANDY

BOLTON

BORN: ENGLAND, 1970

HEIGHT: 183cm WEIGHT: 15 9kg

Britain’s Andy Bolton is the first

man in history to have deadlifted 1000

pounds (453.5kg). Twice during

competition he eclipsed his own

accomplishment with pulls of 1003

pounds and a then-record 1008 pounds.

Bolton holds the fourth-highest squat of

all time (550.5kg), and his three-lift total

of 1273kg ranks third highest in history.

He once stated his goal was to break

the mythical 3000-pound (1361kg) total,

a feat not even dreamed of by most

powerlifters of any era.
