After an approximate one-year absence, Nicolaas du Preez<\/a> returned to competitive powerlifting<\/a>, and it’s like he never left. On May 14, 2022, the powerlifter set a new competition PR total of 1037.5 kilograms (2287.3 pounds)<\/strong> during the 2022 Rhino Powerlifting Club (RPC) Elite Raw in Praetoria, South Africa.<\/p>\n

du Preez’s final top total consisted of a 430-kilogram (948-pound) squat<\/a>, a 237.5-kilogram (523.6-pound) bench press<\/a>, and a 370-kilogram (815.7-pound) deadlift<\/a>. Notably, since the 125-kilogram South African powerlifter competed in the Raw W\/Wraps division, that 430-kilogram (948-pound) squat is also a Raw W\/Wraps competition PR. <\/p>\n
