Don’t judge Richard “The Ant” Hawthorne by his size. The diminutive but thickly-muscled Mississippi mutant is one of the greatest lb for lb deadlifters to ever live. Laying claim to titanic numbers like an equipped 622 lb deadlift at a mere 129 lb bodyweight and a raw 600 lb pull at 130 lbs in competition, The Ant holds multiple world records in various divisions and weight classes. His fourth time lifting at The Cage, Hawthorne has gone for reps with 600+ on multiple occasions in the past. When asked why he chose to deadlift huge weight yet again in The Cage, Richard replied,
“Cuz it’s what I do best… Be an Animal.”
Come see The Ant do his thing in “primetime” at Booth #419 on Saturday, March 2nd.
