When Joe Mackey makes news<\/a>, it’s usually because the simultaneous powerlifter and bodybuilder capped off some kind of incredible feat of strength<\/a>. His most recent display of power was a fitting reason to make some headlines. <\/p>\n

On Mar. 27, 2023, Mackey shared an Instagram video of himself completing a monstrous 449-kilogram (990-pound) hack squat<\/a> for five reps<\/strong>. The athlete only used a lifting belt<\/a> and some knee sleeves for assistance and support during the lift. He made sure to state that he utilized no resistance bands, which some bodybuilders use to aid the lower portion of the lift. It’s undoubtedly a fitting strength display for someone accustomed to making jaws drop. <\/p>\n
