Many wrestling fans believe that 16-time world heavyweight champion Flair is the ‘God’ of Wrestling, even above Hulk Hogan.
He is considered by many to be the greatest icon in professional wrestling history.
Flair became a 16-time world champion during his 40-year career in the ring.
It is great to see that Ric Flair is doing his best to stay in shape over the age of 60.

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 legend Ric Flair a break; he is 67 years old!
