In the powerlifting ranks, Jalen Faulk might be one of the bigger up-and-coming names to keep an eye on. The 18-year-old athlete showed why with a recent phenomenal feat of leg strength<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 1, 2022, Faulk posted a video on his Instagram where he completed a back squat<\/a> of 300 kilograms (661.4 pounds) raw with wraps during a training<\/a> session. Faulk also wore a lifting belt<\/a> and knee sleeves. Per the caption of his post, the staggering squat is a new personal record (PR)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While an unofficial feat, this training squat is 19.8 kilograms (43.7 pounds) more than Faulk’s all-time raw competition best of 280 kilograms (617.3 pounds). The 100-kilogram athlete achieved that mark during a second-place performance in the Men’s Collegiate division at the 2022 USA Powerlifting (USAPL) Collegiate Nationals.<\/p>\n
