The Squat has gone back and forward between a few lifters in the last couple of years but that man who always seems to take it back and make it look easy is also the main with the world record total(1135kg). This squat was done in Knee Wraps and a belt and is actually bigger than the world record deadlift (460kg)
Andrey Malanichev Squatting 480kg! Raw with Wraps
Will Malanichev be the first man to squat 500kg in wraps?
The Bench press has to be the most performed compound lift made in gyms all around the world, especially on international chest day (Monday)
When people know you are a lifter the first thing they generally ask is "How much do you bench?". Most people usually start at around 60-80kg bench and in most gyms above 100kg is considered a good bench, then a bench of 3 plates 140kg is a great bench with very few people ever managing 4 or above plates 180kg.
The UK record stands at 252.5kg set by RYOT's very own Josh Cannon and although a massive bench (especially considering he only weighs 110kg) the all time world record is set by a Russian by the name of Kirill Sarychev who is only 27 years old!
What Kirill did was demolish the current bench record, so much so he opened on a staggering 310kg which made it look like a speed rep! followed it up with a new world record of 330kg the previous being set by Eric Spoto with 327.5kg. Kirill then broke the record again on his 3rd and final lift with a huge 335kg! With his slow yet methodical progression under the coaching eye of Sheiko how far can Kirill Sarychev push the biggest bench of all time forward?
In this new category #WorldRecords we take a look at all timeworld records being set across various different strength sports athletes showcasing what the human body is truly capable of.
What will go down as one of the greatest feats of strength ever was the day Eddie Hall from the UK lifted 500kg.
Eddie took his first lift of 420kg then on his second taking the record previously set by him from 463kg to 465kg then finally on his third lift to an astonishing 500kg! thats adding nearly 10% which just does not happen on World records in any sport! Its the equivelent of Usain bolt's 9:58 getting broken by a 8.x it is seemingly impossible. Not many people believed Eddie could pull 500kg he Eddie Hall believed in himself and pulled of the impossible, pushing the boundaries of what the human body is capable of!
Enjoy the Video of the 3 lifts Eddie Hall pulled in this competition 420kg like a speed rep! 465kg for a new world record, then the first any only person to ever lift 500kg in the deadlift! This is a strongman world record suits and straps allowed, very different style to powerlifting.
