This is a pretty obscure lift that I'm pursuing a world record in, but there's a reason I want this one. Sure I want a world record, who doesn't, I've had an American record, and two state records, so a world would be awesome. But I really want this record because the current holder of the record is an idol of mine. Mike Burke is a competitor on the world's strongest man, and a contractor. He motivated me to not give up training when I was working my ass off. I saw this guy that does the same work I was doing at the time, and competes in the same sport as me who is a contender for the world's strongest man. He made me think why not me. So when I first tried double overhand axle Deadlifts, and saw how close I was to this guy, that I look up to, I was instantly motivated to take it. The saying goes, "train until your idols become your rivals." I'm on track to live it. Hopefully one day this guy that motivated me will say, "shit Bob Moyer is coming I better train harder."
