A powerlifter missing three fingers sets several state records in Texas.

The video above shows Chris Ruden as he competed in the Texas Max Madness competition. Due to a congenital birth defect, Ruden only has two fingers on his left hand and a shorter left arm.

Despite his condition, he sets the Texas record in the squat, bench press, deadlift and the total record for the state.

Ruden uses a hook on his left hand to complete the dead lift. According to his website, Ruden is an elite Powerlifter, entrepreneur, model and motivational speaker.
