Teen sets American record with 465 pound deadlift
Connell deadlifted 465 pounds, which set new best for the 14-15 age division in the entire country.
“I felt a sigh of relief knowing I worked all that time and got the reward, the record,” Connell said.
He said he got into the sport of power lifting simply because people would tell him he was too small.
He now holds 15 Nebraska state records across three weight divisions and four American deadlift records.
“It makes me feel good knowing that I proved them wrong,” Connell said.
He set the record in front of friends, family and mentors.
