The sport of powerlifting, on the whole, doesn’t seem to be short on young stars<\/a> and up-and-comers<\/a> at the moment. With a fresh performance under his belt, there might be another big name to throw into a growing competitive ring.\u00a0 On Oct. 2, 2022, during a victory at the Australian Powerlifting League (APL) Strength Quest II, 19-year-old powerlifter Theo Maddox broke two raw Teen 18-19 World Records in the 140-kilogram weight class<\/strong>. The contest took place at the GroundZeroW Gym in Arundel, Australia.<\/p>\n

Maddox’s first record was a 390-kilogram (859.8-pound) deadlift<\/a> that Maddox pulled from a sumo stance<\/a> with a mixed grip while wearing a lifting belt<\/a>. The pull surpasses Max Shethar’s<\/a> previous figure of 350 kilograms (771.6 pounds) from the 2021 United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) Ragnarok Invite II. Maddox’s second feat was a 962.5-kilogram (2,117.5-pound) total, exceeding Jackson Powell’s past mark of 897 kilograms (1,977.5 pounds) from the 2022 United States Powerlifting Coalition Big Bend Classic.<\/p>\n
