The crazy thing is that there were TWO 22-year-olds who lifted 400+ here.

These guys were thought to become the next big stars, but Haugen quit strongman to pursue a boxing career, and Nee said he tried to rush to greatness and injured himself too much along the way.

To be fair Kevin is very light for a strongman competitor and it’s very impressive to be lifting that much, not enough people are pointing that out AND he was only 22 when he broke the deadlift record.

This was great , you see mark Felix with the over under. This is when strongman were starting to use straps in deadlift. I remember ahola in the 99 Atlantic games used over under with straps simply because these guys didn't use straps all the time.

I miss Kevin Nee. Got to see him compete in person in Hawaii around 2002.

I grew up with Kevin I remember him as a little kid was my best friends kid brother awesome

conventional at 285# is still at the top of the heap even by today's standards.

This has happened to me before, just goes to show how powerful the mind is, many of my prs happened because i miss calculated.

Long-standing weightlifting advocate here. One thing that differentiated Nee was the form above all else, and the other last few contestants had poor feet placement and poor angling of the legs. Nee cheated on the last half of the deadlift that shouldn't have counted, but considering the situation, he was able to get the weight up with momentum instead. It still goes to show that no matter how much weight you pull, it does matter what your form is.

Damn the athletes for strong man are getting stronger and bigger guys like Thor who’s 6’9 440 pulling 500kg is amazing much respect to all these guys who compete

from 410kg to 500kg in 8 years!! wow!! unbelievable
