Watch the deadlift that got Hugh Jackman in the 1,000-pound club

The deadlift that brought me into the 1000lb Club.

A video posted by Hugh Jackman (@thehughjackman) on

This deadlift got Hugh Jackman into the exclusive 1,000-pound club. That’s a 355-pound squat, followed by a 235-pound bench press and finally a 410-pound deadlift. All three need to be completed within three hours to become part of the club. Pretty darn impressive for a 46-year-old, even one made of indestructible steel.

Why didn’t he just cut the bar in half with his claws?
