Here Is Ray Williams Squatting 1005 Pounds

By Josh Helmuth

Whether you’re a meat-head or not, this video of Ray Williams squatting 1005 pounds is very impressive and fun to watch.

The powerlifter became the first known human to squat more than a half-ton “raw,” which means no squat suit or knee wraps.

This is from the USA Powerlifting Raw Nationals in Atlanta over the weekend.

Williams also benched 529 pounds and deadlifted 844 pounds, setting the heaviest drug-tested raw super heavyweight powerlifting total ever.
