Rainbow lights bathed the athlete’s rainbow pants as he roared in victory - a fitting celebration for Pride Month. It was around 15 minutes later that he made his final push that cemented his name in the record books. He needed an extra step to position himself at lockout, but it was still successful. Kearney followed his opener with a lift of 445.5 pounds (202 kg) a few minutes later. For perspective, Bill Kazmaier originally held the record in this lift when it was first used in contests with a weight of 375 pounds (170 kg). Kearney’s first successful attempt of the day was 418 pounds (190 kg). As he has throughout his career, Kearney was assisted in his prep by former Arnold Strongman Classic Champion Derek Poundstone as well as nutritionist Stan Efferding.
