And he apparently suffered a beating in the process, bursting several blood vessels in his head during the lift.
Still, he beat the old record by 70 lbs.

Yup! I saw another video that had a close up view and you could see the look on his face while he was turning his head side to side there at the end. It was a "yeah, that's right punks" look and it was totally awesome.2 -
I'm not sure I know what to think about a world record that had such immediate repercussions in haemmorhaging6

Yeah, I can't deal with the bursting vessels thing. I'm generally not squeamish but....nope!1

True. While deadlifting (done right) is safe, any kind of world record attempt in a physically taxing activity is going to be dangerous.
He actually said in an interview afterward that he doesn't consider it a healthy thing to do (speaking of pushing the limits as far as he is).0 -
Absolutely amazing! What dedication! What a badass!1

Great -- he goes and raises the bar just as I was getting close to matching it. Showoff.2

This overshadowed two other people who went beyond the old WR. Benni Magnusson and Jerry Pritchett both pulled 465/1023. Hall did as well, but he kept going for one more.1
