Meet David Stanton: One-Trick Pony Trap Bar Deadlifter

by Pete

On June 10, 2009, David Stanton made his first appearance at CP.  He tipped the scales at an impressive 162lbs during his assessment and there hasn’t been a day that has passed during recent months where we didn’t regret putting him in front of the crash wall for some quality before pictures.  Here we are, seven short months later, and David is checking in at a cool 198lbs.  More importantly, we’ve discovered that he’s an outrageously strong trap bar deadlifter.

Here’s a video of David pulling 525lbs for a FAST triple…

It’s because of videos like this one that David gets away with telling me that my personal record of a 525lb single on the trap bar is “cute” or “absolutely adorable”.  I hate you, David.
