Earlier today, we opened an email from Chris Duffin and Kabuki Strength informing us of the new mission they’re talking on over the next month. At first we thought we had misread it: it said that Duffin plans on deadlifting 400kg/880 lbs every day for a span of 30 days.
Kabuki Strength and Duffin have teamed up with Alex’s Lemonade Stand to help bring awareness and raise money for the foundation with feats of strength and their sizable social media platform. Alex’s Lemonade Stand is a foundation that is dedicated to raising money for research towards children’s cancer treatments.
In Duffin’s Instagram post documenting this legendary strength feat and action for charity he writes, “Staring today, I am going to be deadlifting 880lbs (400kg) every day for 30 days.
We are partnering with Alex’s Lemonade Stand, a kid’s cancer charity that raises money to fund cancer research specifically for children. It was started by a little girl named Alex when she was 4 years old. She raised over 1 million dollars by age 8 when she passed away from a cancer called Neuroblastoma. Our whole team was heartbroken when we heart Alex’s story from her mom Liz on a call. You can read more about the story at 880everyday.com or on the ALSF website.”
If you recall, a couple months ago Duffin and Kabuki Strength worked to raise money for the Special Olympics when Duffin squatted 363kg/800 lbs for a month. Over the span of full month they ended up raising a solid $6,500.00 on their GoFundMe page and that was all donated to the Special Olympics.
This 400kg/880 lb deadlift month is an absolutely insane strength feat and it’s being used for a great cause. It’s going to be interesting to see how Duffin handles the weight, as he wrote in the final days of the 362kg/800 lb 30 days of squats that they were getting increasingly tougher towards the end of the month.
