Blake Lehew<\/a> has been a fixture in powerlifting for years. A former USA Powerlifting (USAPL) Juniors raw National Champion (2016) in the 74-kilogram weight class, Lehew now dominates at 82.5 kilograms. A stellar performance at the World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) American Pro<\/a>, where the athlete attained the all-time heaviest total of 930-kilogram (2,050.3-pound), says as much. Judging by the latest update on his training<\/a> progress, Lehew seems poised for even more pending greatness. <\/p>\n

On Feb. 26, 2023, Lehew posted an Instagram video where he successfully pulled a 385-kilogram (848-pound) beltless deadlift<\/a><\/strong>. The powerlifter completed his pull from a sumo stance<\/a> with a traditional grip, and he said he weighed 190 pounds at the time of the lift. What’s more, according to Open Powerlifting<\/a><\/em>, the deadlift matches Lehew’s all-time raw competition best, also achieved at the latest American Pro. <\/p>\n

“I believe the belt is a thing of the past for deadlifts.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The beltless pull aside, Lehew had nothing else adorned to assist with the feat. He leaned fully on his strength<\/a> to reach the lockout position. <\/p>\n
