On June 26, 2023, powerlifter Phillip Herndon<\/a> shared an Instagram video of himself capturing a 453.9-kilogram (1,000-pound) back squat<\/a> raw with wraps<\/strong> from the 2023 International Powerlifting Association (IPA) Strength Spectacular. According to the caption of his post, Herndon weighed in with a body weight of 119.4 kilograms (263.3 pounds) at the time of his competition, making him the lightest athlete to ever squat 453.9 kilograms (1,000 pounds) raw with wraps<\/strong> in a sanctioned competition. <\/p>\n

What’s more, according to the database on Open Powerlifting<\/a><\/em>, Herndon’s squat raw with wraps is the second-heaviest of all time in the 125-kilogram weight class. Only Zahir Khudayarov’s World Record squat of 479 kilograms (1,058.2 pounds) from the 2017 Finland Powerlifting Organisation (FPO) WABDL World Cup remains heavier. Herndon wore a lifting belt<\/a>, wrist wraps, and knee wraps for this massive squatting achievement and won the contest accordingly in the 125-kilogram division. The 2023 IPA Strength Spectacular took place on June 25, 2023, in York, PA. <\/p>\n
