It’s no secret that a lot of crazy stuff goes down in Florida, but this 525-pound bench press, performed by high school junior Agelu Nunu, might just be the craziest. The feat went down at the Florida High School Athletic Association Boys' Weightlifting State Championship, which took place over...

Dajour Jupiter may only be a senior in high school, but he undoubtedly possesses strength that most grown men would envy. Jupiter is an absolute powerhouse, and a product of the Ocean Springs powerlifting program in Mississippi. Jupiter crushed an 830-pound squat on Saturday, breaking the...

Ted Lindberg has been lifting for 75 years, since he was just 12 years old. He remembers how back in the early days gyms didn’t even have benches, and gym-goers had to lie on the floor or on homemade, wood planks to lift. After retiring from working construction, Lindberg began hitting the gym...

Any powerlifter would agree that there are few feelings in this world like beating a deadlift personal record, so it’s no surprise that the World's Strongest Man, Hafþór "Thor" Björnsson, was over the moon when he broke his own elephant bar deadlift world record on Wednesday. Thor hit the gym...

If you go to the gym, you probably know at least one guy who manages to brag about his bench press prowess in nearly every conversation he has. Thanks to Mahailya Reeves, you can go ahead and inform him that 15-year-old girls go harder than he does in the gym. Reeves, a high school freshman and...

Hafthor Bjornsson is the reigning World’s Strongest Man and Arnold Strongman Classic champion, yet he continues to impress us. Although we’ve already seen him squat 980 pounds, warm up with more than 600 pounds, and countless other feats of strength, when he cracks a PR we’re always interested...

While most of us were recovering from holiday meals on Wednesday, 21-year-old powerlifting phenomenon Amanda Lawrence was making gains in the gym. The 84kg powerlifter took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a video of her 585-pound squat PR, which she blows through with relative ease. This...

Amanda Lawrence doesn't mess around in the gym. The 21-year-old powerlifter already set unofficial World Records in the squat and deadlift at USAPL Nationals in October, and she took to Instagram on Sunday to show off an unbelievable new personal record: a 570-pound squat. As if just lifting...

At 400 pounds, haters may say that Hafþór Björnsson’s 880-pound squat is only double his bodyweight, but 880 pounds is 880 pounds—and it’s damn impressive. The 2018 World’s Strongest Man winner is not—I repeat, NOT—a powerlifter. His deadlift is strong because it has to be in order to pick up...

It’s a big world and there are a lot of strong people living in it (like this woman and this guy). And, frankly, there’s not enough time to give every savage a shout out, but Keith Correa—a 148- and 165-pound USPA powerlifter—deadlifting 700 pounds deserves some publicity. That’s almost five...

Tim Tadder/Getty You’ll hear reports about a Hollywood movie star packing on 20 to 30 pounds of muscle in a few months like it’s nothing. Well, most of the time the number is skewed and that added weight includes a lot more fat than that actor is willing to broadcast. So, that begs the...

One year ago, Eddie Hall accomplished his dream of capturing the title of World’s Strongest Man. But the 6’3” 30-year-old knew that he had to make a major change to live a healthier life. The biggest issue was his weight. At his heaviest, Hall tipped the scale at 440 pounds and, if you peep the...

This past week (October 10-14), 21-year old Amanda Lawrence set two unofficial World Records in the squat (526 pounds) and deadlift (540 pounds) at USAPL Nationals in Spokane, WA, for a performance that was good enough for silver. But the 84kg powerlifter wasn’t satisfied. Less than a week...

Hey, did you guys happen to see the new glasses that Larry “Wheels” Williams is rocking? Probably not—because you were way too distracted by the 500 pounds he bench-pressed for 11 freakin’ reps. Week after week, Wheels performs insane lift after insane lift—and we’ll never not watch him. At...

Instagram/larrywheels Before we start talking about how freakish it is that 23-year-old powerlifter Larry Wheels is out here benching 225 pounds with one arm, we should stress that you really shouldn’t try this at your own gym (despite what he tells you in his Instagram caption). Just leave...

DANIEL MIHAILESCU/AFP/Getty Images Gripping and ripping 580 pounds is an impressive feat that'll earn you some serious cred among your fellow gym bros. And cleaning that much weight up to your shoulders is bananas. But pressing it all overhead? That's some Thanos-type strength. Well, Georgian...
