The World Deadlift Championships is an annual global strongman competition featuring international strength athletes from all over the world, competing exclusively in the strongman deadlift. It was created by Giants Live and the championship focuses on the maximum deadlift in pursuit of the all-time world record deadlift. Having being held for 10 years, 9 of them featured the maximum deadlift event while in 2017, the event was changed to a 400 kg (882 lb) weight for the most repetitions in 60 seconds.

Contents

The championships allow deadlifts to be performed either in equipped or raw standards using only conventional stance adhering with the rules of strongman. Each year the winner is bestowed with the title 'World Deadlift Champion'.
