US Powerlifting monster squats a record 425kg

Ben Kenyon

Here’s one guy that never misses a leg day – US powerlifting monster Ray Williams.

The hulking American athlete made short work of this eye-popping 425kg squat – and smashed a world record to boot.

With the bar bending and a team of nervous-looking spotters watching his back, Williams banged out the rep with ease.

His lifting total at the IPC Powerlifting Championships in Finland was a ridiculous 1000.5kg (2,206lbs) which happens to be yet another world record.

He’s only 62lbs away from reaching the hallowed 1,000lb squat club. We’re not betting against him smashing that too.
