On Apr. 10, 2023, powerlifter Blake Lehew<\/a> shared an Instagram video of himself capturing a 319.9-kilogram (705.4-pound) raw back squat<\/a><\/strong> during the 2023 USA-UA Pioneer on the Beach. The contest took place on Apr. 8 in South Padre Island, TX. According to Lehew’s caption, it is the first instance in which the athlete has ever completed a raw squat of at least 317.5 kilograms (700 pounds). A quick perusal of the 27-year-old Lehew’s Open Powerlifting<\/em><\/a> profile confirms this fact. Lehew had previously tried and failed for the same weight at the 2022 World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) PPC Finals. <\/p>\n
