Current Events > Powerlifters are fucking crazy

(+) Yeah! (+)

Look at this guy





This fucker squats 700lbs.

Like you would not look at this guy walking around and think "ah yes, clearly an elite athlete several magnitutes stronger than the strongest guy at my gym".

P.s. I hope you enjoy those cursors you filthy animals

He looks annoying tbh

His ego is enormous and he posts a lot of weird toxic meninist stuff on tiktok however his strength is undeniable

---

He has short legs. That's such a huge advantage for squatting heavy

You got pics of him in shorts at least?

Yeah well his muscles can't stop the blade that I studied.

---

His thighs bulge out so you can tell hes at least put some work in.

this is why it sucks to be a dude. You cant easily tell if a guy is well trained or not unless theyre either incredibly buff or in a place where its natural to go shirt and pants less

How much do you think Big Ramy goes for?



TC what posted is a child.

Lol that guy looks like he weighs under 200lbs, i really doubt he squats 700lbs. Maybe he has had 700lbs on his back and done a mini squat or something but that dude looks puny. Lets say he can squat 700lbs though, he is built like a wimp, just look at the width of his shoulders, PUNY.

I dunno he looks fat as fuck bro

powerlifters usually always look pretty bad unless they're on gear

Powerlifters train for strength and speed, not size, so many of the guys under 240lbs dont look like they could be squat/deadlift kings. There was a 196lb high schooler in Louisiana that set the deadlift record across ALL weight classes a couple years ago with 730lbs. And theyre not allowed to use the steroids and suits that most lifters use. Ive personally witnessed another kid in 2010 squat 600+lbs that weighed less than 175lbs.

He does not look fat. Look at how his chest sticks out of his shirt, the dude has muscle, all i am saying is even though he is decently built, he looks like a wimp and i seriously doubt he can squat more than 500lbs given how much he probably weighs(looks like around 190lbs max) if he is squatting 700lbs that means he is deadlifting more than that. The 3 compound lifts scale from bench to squat and then to deadlift, if he was squatting 700lbs he should also he able to deadlift at the very least 700lbs...does that kid look like can deadlift 700lbs+? Absolutely not, that would put him at a better ratio than professionals like eddie hall and hafthor.

Yeah so after this deep thinking i am 100% convinced that kid does not squat 700lbs.

He has a YouTube channel with a few videos so seems real unless what hes doing is improper form.

I am not saying it is not possible due to weight alone, but his weight is a red flag already, his proportions are not impressive either. A guy that weighs 175lbs and squats 600lbs+ is more than likely going to be a manlet with short limbs who has to leverage less of his limbs during the lift. This is not the case here, we have a relatively average looking kid with big thighs who looks like he weighs around 190lbs, a 700lb squat is highly suspect. Even a 500lb squat is suspect for a guy like that.

Then post a fucking video of him doing 700lbs squat...if you ask me that kid does not even look like he can do 20 pull ups in a row, let alone squat triplehis body weight in his late teens.

"This world champion lifter can squat 3.5x his bodyweight? Preposterous!! He'd have to be some kind of world champion!"

Wow...for a second there i thought he was gonna take a direct trip to snap city. That is probably the most impressive thing i have ever seen weightlifting wise. My knees hurt from watching that. That kid is a beast.

Touche' sir, looks like i am having humblepie for breakfast.

In powerlifting there really aren't any major official organizations. I know guys who go to new powerlifting meets and set world records for those promotions and get trophies etc. Its all bullcrap. So powerlifting champion doesn't mean much to me considering i can go to my local powerlifting gym that just opened and set a record for a bullshit promotion they just made up. Smartass.

Big problem in strongman too. Remember when that Vegan Strongman was all the rage on social media and vegans were certain that he was the strongest man ever because he had a world record in *checks notes..."longest 1,230 pounds yoke walk"? Like sure, if you make up a new standard for every exercise then someone somewhere is gonna be the strongest at it. Somewhere out there is a nobody who has the record for most stones chucked over his neighbours fence with a combined total of 10,000kgs or whatever.

That's a really contrived way to prove that vegans can be strong, they could just show that Clarence Kennedy happens to exist.

At least strongman has an official promotion that has been on television since like the 70s, there is no world series of powerlifting or whatever because unlike strongman which is pretty cool, powerlifting consists of the big 3 lifts only which take only a few seconds to perform a 1 rep max on. Its not exactly the most exciting thing, not much different than arm wrestling competitions, it just seems silly and it kind of is. I am impressed by this kids lifts but his physique is underwhelming, i know powerlifters typically do not have impressive physiques which is another thing that makes it lame. If i had to guess what that kid did for a living id say accountant or something like that, i would never guess he has a 1200+ combined deadlift and squat PRs...thats seriously insane.

I'm only deadlifting two 45's right now. But i'm just beginning the process.

Dude stop talking. You obviously dont know much about the sport. The USPA and IPF are world renowned powerlifting federations, and their records are the gold standard for the sport. While its true you can say you broke a record, it wont count unless performed at one of these meets under their rules.

huh, then it must be easier than I always assumed
gonna go try to squat 700 pounds, brb

I'm a powerlifter and that's insane.

I won 1st place at my first competition and was kind of stunned that my numbers were enough. Definitely didn't squat anywhere near that (I did 500 for the first time then).

---

Damn he can kill me easily if he wants.

---

That's not 700 though? 6 45's on each side..plus the bar...is only 585. It also looks like he has a 10 and a 5 on each side, so add another 30? so 615? Or am I missing something. Still not bad.

Some might be 100 lb plates.

Stick him in the kidney with something.

Maybe bust a cap in his head before he takes two steps.

I can't say I'm surprised. My cousin is a power lifter and pulls a decent amount and at most weighs 230. Not as much as that, but his personal best was 580/590ish?
Edit: I stand corrected... 610 deadlift, 468 bench, and 562 squat. He came first in his provincial tournament.

If I took the time to actually build up my strength, I could probably pull more than him, only because of genetics giving me a little boost, but I don't think I'd ever be able to pull 700.

Was it necessary to...how shall I say...accentuate the male area so much on the trophy?

Literally only you know of these promotions. Lets be honest here, most people do not care about powerlifting, its in the same realm as arm wrestling. Those promotions are just made up promotions that only a handful of people know or care about.

500 for the squat was enough at the time for 1st place? I have a gym bud who squats that amount with proper form.

Not in the squat, but the total. It was a 355 bench, 505 squat, and 605 deadlift.

Ah, I see. The same guy I mentioned earlier pulls similar numbers. He actually made it to the USA National Powerlifting Championship back in 2019. He didnt do so great but he achieved a life long dream and met some of his idols.

---

That's pretty cool for him. I kept my humility, although it was cool to be the best there and get a medal those numbers are not that impressive to me. My deadlift in particular was the strongest, 2nd place was 600 and it was a grind while I probably had another rep in me.

Maybe he is that strong. On the other hand, some YouTube lifters have been accused of using fake weights here and there.
