On August 8, 2023, powerlifter Phillip Herndon<\/a> recorded a video of himself successfully locking out a 414.5-kilogram (914-pound) raw back squat<\/a><\/strong> during a recent training session. The mark is unofficially more than the current all-time raw World Record<\/strong> in Herndon’s usual 125-kilogram weight class. That honor still officially belongs to Reece Fullwood<\/a>, who squatted 412.5 kilograms (909.4 pounds) at the 2023 GPC-GB Welsh Championships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herndon achieved his latest training squat while wearing knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and a lifting belt<\/a>. Such an equipment set-up still constitutes as raw in a powerlifting context. He wrote in his post that he weighed 271 pounds at the time of the lift, meaning the athlete squatted approximately 3.3 times his body weight<\/strong>. Herndon evidently had little trouble with this squat, hitting the hole and rising up quickly without much of a struggle as his spotters on all three sides kept a close watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
