Russel Orhii might be one of the few truly elite names in powerlifting. It’s to the point where any he steps into a squat rack or onto a lifting platform; he’s likened to making some huge (pun intended) news. The two-time International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Champion recently lived up to that high standard again.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 4, 2022, Orhii shared an Instagram video of himself capturing a 347-kilogram (765-pound) back squat<\/a> during a workout. According to the caption of the athlete’s post, it’s an all-time personal record (PR)<\/strong>. The squat in training<\/a> is 24 kilograms (52.9 pounds) more than Orhii’s all-time raw competition best. He achieved that figure during a first-place performance at the 2021 USA Powerlifting (USAPL) Raw Nationals contest. Orhii wore a lifting belt<\/a>, wrist wraps, and knee sleeves to help with the successful lockout.<\/p>\n
