Asko Karu (born 1992) is an Estonian powerlifter.[1] He is known for his deadlifting prowess.[2]
Karu began competing in powerlifting in 2017, focusing on deadlift-only meets in the super heavyweight division (+140 kg). He won five competitions which spanned across Finland and Russia with a best raw deadlift of 402.5 kg (887 lb) at 2019 FPO Tatu Avola Memorial meet.[3]
From 2021 onwards, Karu claimed some of the heaviest suitless deadlifts in history in training including a pull of 482 kg (1,063 lb).[2] As a result, he was invited to the Giants Live World Deadlift Championships in 2021, but he withdrew himself and didn't take part.[4]
