Austin Perkins - 839kg @ 74kg | Powerlifting America Nationals 2024 

Damn crazy speed posting this!! Austin's clearly the best Powerlifter in the world right now. Can't wait to see him win Worlds 2024 and Sheffield 2025. Thanks for this coverage WLM - what Powerlifting needs 👏

And he didn't even go anywhere close to all out in this competition. I'm already gonna make a bold prediction and say Austin will win 2025 Sheffield. His total vs the current total world record is miles away. Hope he doesn't get injured though

Jeez man, I weighed in at 74.5 this morning. This lad's outstanding.

bro is breaking the entire sport. a shame we wont see him go all out until sheffield 25

Was already waiting for this video to come. Great work again with these video’s!

I’m so proud of him and I know you are too. Congratulations!!

Can't wait to see what he does at worlds

RPE 7 on bench and deadlifts and still getting this total. Ridiculous

The disrespect, 0.5kg over Taylor’s best total 💀

what a fuckin legend

Atwood is done.

That's the strength I want.

Well done SIR Well done. OH IO

The first time I put 495 lbs on a squat bar and walked out I felt the panic rush over me when I realized just how dangerous it was. I felt nailed to the floor. I weighed 215 lbs. Watching someone someone his weight squat this much is insane.

Russ swole need to get him on the podcast !!!

This is almost unbelievable! He squatted over 4 times his own body weight!

This guy is very strong for his weight, 100% is gonna break some records. I wish him the best for the hard work he did to be where he deserved to be. No hate for this guys that work very hard to accomplish their goals.

It will be interesting to see the strategy from Perkins at worlds. Will he do a strategic move and barely beat Bakkelunds world record so he can raise the bar even more at Sheffield 2025?

Dudes explosive

so have no idea what the audio says but I watched this while listening to Not Like Us by kendricks and I don't think the audio is needed after this experience.

I wish I would've been taught how to bench like this in highschool. I'm almost 6'4" with long limbs and 285 is the most I ever put up. I guarantee doing it this way, which is apparently the proper way, makes it easier because every time I would lift my ass off the bench for leverage my coach would push me down and said to quit cheating.

damn

Lisan al Gaib!

Is this competition validated for the ipf ?

the ratio legs/upper body 🤣 his legs are HUGE

he looks so big for 74, how tall is he?

Mr 74kg....talk and claim yo ish 😤

John Hack is the GOAT.

He’s 74kg? Surely not, I’m 78kg rn and obviously never got close to that.

Why he didn't do his third atemp in bench and deadlift? He could braking the recod of th 83s easy!

Russell who????

The only perk for perk got

Is it ipf? Was there doping testing?

What’s he doin to his ears ?!

He is 170lbs

Actually way back in the late 70s, a powerlifter by the name of Mike Bridges bacame the first lifter at 165 lbs to squat 700 lbs. He squated 722 lbs for a world record. He also benched 463 for a world resord and deadlifted 650 to give him a WR total of 1,835 lbs. A couple of years earlier in the 148 lb class he had lifts of a 622 squat 402 bench and 585 deadlift for a total of 1609. After he dominated the 165 lb class he moved up to the 181lb class and had best lifts of 836 squat 512 bench and 755 deadlift for a total of 2105 !! His best bench was 529 in another meet and his best deadlift was 771. Before Ed Coan came onto the scene, Mike was considered ( according to then used Shwartz formula) pound for pound the greatest powerlifter of all time. So theres some powerlifting history for yall.

Tren / test training

RPE 7 TOTAL LOL WTF

its crazy because i weigh leas than him and squat more than him, i am only 26 years old. But i dont compete or anything.

That is some great tren. Sheshhh

Dushane

オースティンの時代やな

finally，74kg almost is American 😂

What's about drugs testing?

so drugs up

Surely this guy isn’t natural. Regardless, he’s got elite genetics and work ethic.

Lmao cycle hitting hard 💉 💉

Only a blackguy or some Icelandic giant could pull this off 😂

Wouldn’t even get close to that without the suit

Hopefully he doesn’t injure himself with all of his after lift theatrics.

powerlifting is gay! congrats to these incredible athletes! Amazing.

That girl hath no chin
