George Brink is a veteran U.S. powerlifter best known within strength‑sport circles for becoming the first person over the age of 50 to deadlift more than 800 pounds in a sanctioned meet—an 804 lb deadlift achieved at age 51 at the USPF Nationals in Burbank.
This workout was republished June/2001 from POWERLIFTINGUSA.
Winning Masters and Open classes in USPF and WPC competitions with totals in the 870–880 lb range in equipped and raw divisions
Brink’s style of routine demonstrates that elite strength benchmarks (such as an 800+ lb deadlift) can be achieved or preserved past middle age with disciplined specificity, high‑intensity posterior chain work, and consistent technique practice.
