Eddie "The Beast" Hall sets new deadlift world record of 1025 lbs/465 kg

He kipped it up....not a lift..impressive nonetheless

Yeah, but the mental plateau and sense of accomplishment, wow! Like breaking the 5 minute mile. Now I wonder how long before someone else does it, or he does without wraps? The amazing thing to me is his ability to train to that point without being hampered by injuries. I tip my hat!
 
The straps are allowed in some federations/associations. Also world record attempts are sometimes not viewed through the rules and regs. For example he could have been disqualified for the rest on his thighs or the uncontrolled shaking that seemed to help get past a sticking point. But I would not be the one to disqualify that lift. Awesome strength.
