The 46-year-old Aussie actor officially made it into the 1,000 pound club—in which a subject's combined deadlift, bench press and squat lift add up to half a ton of weight—and he's got footage ...

But he then raised the bar, literally, at 500kgs, over 1,102lbs, or nearly 80st ... And now I'm the first to deadlift half a ton. It's histpry and I'm very proud to be a part of it.
