Weight Lifting World Records

Jason F. performed an upright row with 1,300 pounds in 10.62 seconds.

Clint Poore performed an Anderson squat with 625-pound weight. His body weight during the attempt was 233 pounds.

William Neal Quackenbush pressed 1,502 pounds for five repetitions on a 45-degree plate-loaded leg press in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on the day he turned 62. The sled is stacked with plates out to the ends of both pegs, and the set runs in one continuous take, from unracking the sled through the fifth rep and racking it again. A gym staff member totaled the load at 1,502 pounds on camera in a separate clip. Not a bad way to spend a birthday.

Thommy Ohlund performed a barbell curl with a reverse grip using a 60-kilogram barbell. He is 52 years old.

R.C. Nin performed barbell shrug using a 770-pound barbell. He is 56 years old.

Josh Turner performed a 566-pound deadlift from a height of 17 inches.

Michael Drouin performed a decline bench press using a barbell weight 335 pounds. He is 63 years old.

Stanley Tomajko, 61, deadlifted 505 pounds, more than two and a half times his 192-pound (87-kilogram) bodyweight, for two full reps in his barn gym in Strasburg, Virginia, holding the bar with a double-underhand hook grip, both palms facing forward. A pair of large spoked wheels on the barbell sets it about 13 inches off the floor, the classic wagon wheel deadlift height from strongman, with three 45-pound plates and one 50-pound plate stacked outside each wheel. The continuous video shows both pulls to a full standing lockout with the wheels resting on the floor between reps, and Stanley itemized the load (plates, wheels, a 44-pound bar and collars) to the 505-pound total. Surrounded by anvils, ropes and antique iron, it is old-school strength in every sense.

Thommy performed inclined bench press reps using two dumbbells weighing a total of 138.4 pounds. He is over 45 years old.
