1) Biggest rack-pull number being posted (UNOFFICIAL / self-organized)

Eric Kim — 926 kg / 2,041 lb high‑pin rack pull

  • Date posted: Jan 13, 2026
  • Type: High‑pin rack pull (extreme overload / very short ROM)
  • Important detail: The post itself says no competition platform, no judges — i.e., not a sanctioned record.  

So if your definition is “the biggest number anyone has claimed + documented on their own platform as a rack pull” → 926 kg is the new top claim. 

2) Heaviest “official-ish / standardized” partial deadlift record (COMPETITION EVENT)

Rauno Heinla — 580 kg / 1,278.7 lb Silver Dollar Deadlift (18”)

  • This is the heavyweight champ in judged competition partials.
  • WDC record listing: shows Open Male: Rauno Heinla 580 kg.  
  • BarBend report: says Heinla pulled 580 kg at the 2022 Silver Dollar Deadlift Estonian Championship, using a belt + figure‑8 straps, and it notes it appeared judged (down command).  
  • Giants Live also lists Heinla’s Silver Dollar Deadlift: 580 kg / 1,279 lb (World Record).  

If you mean “heaviest partial deadlift record in a recognized event with rules + judging” → 580 kg is the answer. 

3) Heaviest “18-inch deadlift” (another standardized partial category)

Oleksii Novikov — 550 kg / 1,212.5 lb 18-inch deadlift

  • Done at Ultimate Strongman Barcelona Strongman Grand Prix (Mar 15, 2025).  
  • BarBend notes this was done without a deadlift suit (belt + wraps/straps mentioned) and was judged (down command).  

Why this gets messy (and why your “update” matters)

“Rack pull” isn’t a single standardized sport lift:

  • Pin height can turn it into anything from a brutal above-knee grind to basically a lockout.
  • Bar + straps + suit + judging + calibrated plates vary wildly.
  • Most orgs don’t track rack pulls as official records (even the 905.8 kg writeup explicitly says that).  

So the cleanest “truth” is:

  • Biggest claimed rack pull number online right now: 926 kg (self-organized).  
  • Biggest competition-record partial: 580 kg Silver Dollar Deadlift (Heinla).  
  • Biggest 18-inch deadlift record: 550 kg (Novikov).  

If you want, I can keep a “two-tier leaderboard” (UNOFFICIAL overload claims vs OFFICIAL judged event records) so it stays permanently updated without mixing apples and spaceship engines.
