Is it possible to squat 1000 pounds

Primary tabs View active tab What links here. Author: admin. Or even for that matter. At Monster Muscle they're trying to answer that question. The thread is started based partly on Scot Mendleson's interview for the upcoming powerlifting movie, Powerlifting Unlimited, where he claims to have raw squatted 1, pounds.

Mark Henry. He did over 9 in just wraps and a belt, if I'm not mistaken. AS for the raw squat- don reinhoudt has the official highest raw squat of pounds in just a belt, i wouldnt doubt him to be the STRONGEST squatter of all time - and i also believe that paul anderson squatted up to as much as they said he did there is no one that has squatted a grand raw and if any one has i want to see it.

He can for sure do Yea if kirk wanted to and actually trained for it he would deffinatly be able to get up a grand raw to well below acceptable depth. I deleted the negative comment as it didn't further this discussion whatsoever. Beau Moore held the old record of lbs. Nick's Total on Saturday was: lbs. His Lifts: lb.

Squat lb. Bench lb. Again that's in competition, legal depth and had their lift recorded as a Record! If someone can name the Federation, Athlete and the amount lifted, I'll stand corrected. The 1, lb. Squat is so far out there that to wonder about someone doing it when there are only a few If there is to be a debate Greg, many people consider using knee wraps as still lifting raw. With that in mind, do you think is possible by anyone?

With or without drugs. Jon, I do know of people that think that wraps are part of RAW These two federations have more RAW Lifters registered than any other With that said. It could be done Shane Hamman has squatted extremly heavy wearing a singlet and wraps Nick Minneti It's not just about Leg Strength The suit and wraps purpose is to aid in the stabalization Mental strength is a huge factor as well. In short I think it can be done.

It sounds like you think is possible, even drug free. That seems to imply that more would be possible, like maybe 1,, if drugs were used?

Your take on the definition of raw is interesting. Due to the fractured status of powerlifting, including raw, it's somewhat hard to declare any organization s as setting a standard at this point.

Have you seen that Monster Muscle is coming out with raw rankings and their definition of raw includes knee wraps? Jon, Your point is what If anything Monster Muscle should defer to Federations that spend the money, time and resource to support the lifter in what they do The future growth and mainstream acceptance will need both the factors mentioned above for our sport to reach its full potential.

No special gear Winning because of Technique and Strength unsupported! I hope this clears up what camp I'm in LOL Always Remember There are No Limits Drug Free! That was my point, that powerlifting is fractured. No one is on the same page. Leadership will be determined by moving the sport, whether in raw or in total. It won't be determined by goals. At this point, most don't see any group s taking the lead in this regard.

Greg, I don't think many people misinterpret the camp you're in - you're pretty clear in what you say. Greg, Capt. Kirk hit raw no knee wraps at an AAu meet at lbs. We will see what the big boys are capable of!! Unfortunately, the results probably will not be worth much in Greg's eyes as the meet will not be drug tested.

I don't think a lb RAW Squat can be done drug free anytime soon. Let's not forget there are "drug free" lifters who are not actually drug free! Heck, many people will be lucky to Squat lbs RAW with proper depth and drug free. And that's the truth. I have trained in strongman, powerlifting, and olympic style's of lifting.

Let me tell you most people have no clue what lbs feels like! But many people throws around these numbers like any old buddy can do it. And these guys were built for the squat! Anyone can claim to squat this or that, but doing it in a meet is another story. Even if someone does a RAW squat of lbs in a drug free meet everyone then will wonder if that person was actually drug free!

So who knows if it really is possible. But there was some people who squatted lbs raw. But before told who are those supersquatters lets's have some consideration. When we talk about powerlifting squat,we are talking about a parallel squat,not a full ass to grass squat in olympic style So,people like mark henry,or don reinoudt,that almost do a kg lbs squat rawthey have maximum a full squat in the range of lbs kg ca.

The same for the top ipf guys. But we can find the most incredible genetic freak in those sport who have more hystory and athletic exasperation than powerlifting or strongman. I talk about olympic lifting and shot put. In shot put,udo beyer could squat kg raw! And manuel martinez do more than kg bench raw. Let's talk about top guys in olympic lifting. Serge reding were witnessed by doctor mell stiff doing sets of 5 reps of speed squat with kg Rudolf plukefelder,the coach of old russian olympic team in the 80s told that aslanbek yenaldiev do a kg squat It's hard to believe but enaldiev was famous for his ability to squat kg.

But it was not drug free However i read that the record of the old dynamo team urss olympic was lbs. Hossein rezazadeh train with squat raw easily. And for the lighter guys i know that david rigert was able to do 3 reps with kg raw at lbs.

Three ass to grass fast reps. Idalberto aranda ,77kg, do a double with kg at the end of his workout ironmind tape. What is the current Raw Squat record in a powerlifting meet? I want to know what the actual RAW Squat record is! The question is when! It will take a long time before a lb Raw Drug free Squat can be done. For the simply reason that anyone is interested by powerlifting raw meet.

Elite powerlifting or strongman champions don't lift in infamous raw federation. Now there are federation like wpo or apf in which you can win a lot of money and become famous in the world. In europe the most important federation is ipf. Thre are a lot of strong guys. Many powerlifting champions was ex not elite weightlifter. So is most rare to find a fenomenal freak nowedays in powerlifting. An guys that could done a squat raw maybe will never do a raw meet. For whichreason for example,guy like rezazadeh must do a powerlifting raw meet?

Not only a raw meet but also drug tested. That's what makes the feat so difficult. Although as you say Eugene there may be those that can but they'll never participate under these conditions, so we'll never know. Eugene, Your posts seem to say that you believe weightlifters Olympic, shot putters are better squatters then Powerlifters and Strongman?

If so why? No,because weightlifting and powerlifting are different sport. IF the current crop of strongmen, highland games athletes, powerlifters, were state supported, and trained under the same conditions at the top OLers, would they reach the same levels of strength?

Eugene, I am not trying to start a big argument, but in all fairness to PL and strongman I disagree about OL being the strongest athletes. Power cleans: OL have the advantage due the fact they simply have better technique then other strength athletes. Because they use that type of movement all the time in training. The power clean is a lift that requires lots of technique.

If guys like Pudzinowski, Coan and Gary Frank had the same technique training as an OL lifter they would easily power clean more weight. Military Press: Patera did a lb clean and Press which involves technique. It was not a true Military press. After finishing his third squat rep and racking the weight, Duffin broke down in tears—which were well-warranted as he completed this awesome feat.

While the event wasn't sanctioned, Duffin is likely the first person ever to both squat and deadlift over 1, pounds, according to BarBend. Still, he was determined to finish his mission, which has been four years in the making after another impressive feat of strength. Duffin first sumo deadlifted 1, pounds for two reps back in Duffin's emotion at completing his goal is evident even in his Instagram caption, especially considering the peculiar challenge of completing it during such a tumultuous time.

Despite all the uncertainty in the world and our lives right now, I set out on a clear and defined path 4 years ago. A path to do something epic, to inspire, and to raise money and build awareness for causes I believe in.

It was a major battle for me in the last year to pull off the last portion of this goal," he wrote in part of his Instagram caption. And though Duffin acknowledges his record wasn't 'official,' he's pretty damn proud. I did it, and no one can take that away.

DONE," he wrote. United States.
