Watch Ric Flair Deadlift 400 Pounds

Watch 67-year-old legend, Ric Flair, deadlift a lot more weight than you can.

In case you do not know, Ric Flair, also known as the “Nature Boy,” is a WWE Hall of Fame (World Wrestling Entertainment), superstar.

Many wrestling fans believe that 16-time World Champion Flair is the ‘God’ of Wrestling, even above Hulk Hogan.

He is considered by many to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time.

Flair won 16 world wrestling championships during his 40-year career.

It is great to see that Ric Flair is doing his best to stay in shape over the age of 60.

Is there a more straightforward way to stay lean, fit, and active than the remarkable benefits of deadlifts?

I.Will.Never.Retire

Here is a video posted by Ric Flair himself doing a deadlift of 400 pounds at the age of 67 in January of 2017.

He declares, “I.Will.Never.Retire.”

Some have commented that they did not think that Ric was deadlifting 400 pounds because his right arm was bent.

Anyone who deadlifts knows how dangerous it is to try and curl a deadlift.

Never attempt to curl the deadlift.

Therefore, you always want to keep your arms straight, which is only one of many vital deadlift form tips.

The fact that his arm is not straight is because that is how his arm extends.

Otherwise, 400 pounds would cause his arm to extend if it could fully.

Give him a break; he is 67 years old!

Are You Too Old to Deadlift?

Of course, the answer is no.

You just watched Ric Flair deadlift over the age of 65.
