During the 2022 Iran Bodybuilding Federation (IranBBF) National Classic Powerlifting & Bench Press Championships on April 12-17, 2022, Iranian powerlifter Shahram Saki came in first in the 120-kilogram+ weight class. At the same time, he turned a few heads with his strength<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First, Saki captured a raw 440-kilogram squat (970 pounds) \u2014 the highest in the history of Asia, per Open Powerlifting<\/em>. Then he notched a 235-kilogram bench press (518.1 pounds), another number enough for the Asia record. By the meet’s end, he totaled 1,025 kilograms (2,259.7 pounds), yet again the highest in Asian powerlifting history.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Check out a video of Saki’s record-breaking squat \u2014 where he donned a lifting belt and lifting straps \u2014 via his Instagram profile: <\/p>\n
