Teen With Cerebral Palsy Sends Gym Wild By Beating Deadlift PB

A teenage boy with cerebral palsy has inspired millions across social media after breaking his personal record for deadlifting in his first-ever powerlifting competition, causing the gym to erupt into cheers. Fourteen-year-old Mason Braatz, from West Bend, Wisconsin, lifted 235 pounds in the uplifting video, which has been viewed more than six million times on TikTok. At the meet at Ford's Gym, in Madison, Wisconsin, Mason first lifted 205 pounds and then 220. For his final lift, Mason suggested 235 pounds – a weight he had never lifted but his coach thought he could achieve because of the adrenaline of the moment. Mason, who only weighs 121 pounds himself, showed strain on his face as he took the bar off the ground, and then, with the support of the crowd, reached the top of his lift after a few long seconds of trying. The moment took place on March 26, and after posting the video on his social media pages, Mason and his family were blown away by the response.
