Miroshnik made this pull look easy for an athlete of his size.
There’s one somewhat easy but very effective approach to distinguish one’s self within the strongman sphere: lift extremely heavy objects — from the ground, above your head, any way you possibly can. That’s precisely what Leon Miroshnik recently achieved, in turn distinguishing himself amongst his strength peers.
On June 5, 2023, Julian Howard (@worldsstrongestfan on Instagram) shared a clip of Miroshnik successfully deadlifting 410 kilograms (903.9 kilos) during a training session. On the time of this writing, it’s unclear precisely when the lift occurred, but based on Miroshnik’s own Instagram profile of coaching progress, it appears to have occurred sooner or later from May 2023 to early June 2023.
Miroshnik had a body weight of under 105 kilograms (231 kilos) on the time of the lift — his usual strongman competitive class — meaning this deadlift was roughly 3.9 times his body weight. Miroshnik wore a lifting belt and lifting suit, and utilized lifting straps and knee sleeves to help him with the monstrous pull.

A look at Miroshnik’s own social media will inform one in all almost every thing that they should learn about his deadlift power and upcoming plans.
For instance, there’s a video of Miroshnik showing off his endurance by scoring a 300-kilogram (661.3-pound) deadlift for nine reps through the 2023 Siberian Power Show (SPS) in early April 2023. Miroshnik didn’t take part in the principal event competition in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, but appeared to come back and show out his deadlift prowess anyway. Before that, in early March 2023, Miroshnik detailed the “biggest pull in his arsenal” when he successfully deadlifted 420 kilograms (925.9 kilos) with the bar elevated on low mats while using roughly the identical equipment setup as his recent feat.
Miroshnik’s most up-to-date update is the athlete pulling 350 kilograms (771 kilos) for 3 reps, and not using a lifting suit, in early June 2023. Within the post’s caption, Miroshnik makes a degree “shout out” the 440-kilogram (970-pound) deadlift performed by his Russian countryman and seven-time World’s Strongest Man (WSM) competitor Mikhail Shivlyakov through the 2016 Arnold Asia strongman contest. On the time of this publication, it’s unclear if Miroshnik is using Shivlyakov’s accomplishment for context or teasing a future attempt at reaching one other impressive benchmark.
In accordance with his page on Strongman Archives, Miroshnik has participated in three sanctioned competitions during his profession. His best placing was a seventh-place result on the 2019 U105 Strongman World Championships.

There are lots of prolific and talented deadlifters on the planet of strength sports, but it surely’s still an exclusive club. Miroshnik undoubtedly has a membership and, down the road, could possibly be often known as one in all the globe’s more famous and strongest pullers. That’s, if he doesn’t have already got that fame.
