ET’s 905 Neck Lift!
by Al Myers
Eric Todd established a new Overall World Record Neck of 905# at the 2012 Heavy Lift Championships. Longtime allrounder John Kurtz is in the background watching this impressive lift.
I didn’t think it would be possible – seeing Chad’s big WR Neck Lift of 900 pounds get broke so soon. But it did happen, and just like last year, happened at the event highlighting the chain lifts, the Heavy Lift Championships. Eric Todd, of Cameron Missouri, put up successful lifts last weekend in the Neck Lift of 700#, 800#, 860#, and then with his extra record set the record with a lift of 905#! As I said yesterday, the 900 barrier is now the level to shot for to be considered as “one of the best” in the Neck Lift. I always knew ET might have this ability in him. He is a former wrestler and has a neck like a NFL linebacker. I also knew he had the mental toughness to not be intimidated by this large amount of weight. He made the lift rather easily as well. Congratulations Eric on setting this new record!!!
