Ray Williams | 1037.5kg Total 120+kg Class | Powerlifting America Nationals 

no

No he won't, those squats are not legit. Come on, he is two inches from parallel. He just got a good lift because he is famous.

@@windsolarupnorth7084 You blind? Looks like he sank the squats lol

Fr😮

Faster than the 445 it looked like too

Not hating at all but I don't see that happening. Ray Williams is far past his prime and still hasn't recovered from the flu he suffered in 2019. Jesus Olivares vs Temur Samkharadze is more realistic. Temur totaled 1,063.5kg at europeans and out-deadlifted Ray Williams' old record too earlier today. Temur is only 23 years old as well.

Jesus kills him (he had one off meet and still whooped that ass) 😂😂😂😂😂

Who win?

me

Jesus totaled 80kgs/176lbs more than Ray. Idk if rays even close to Jesus at the moment

The goat is Ed Coan by a mile. Don rheindout in 1974 had better totals than this. 903/562/832/2298 total and 20-30 lbs lighter.

The squat GOAT.

@@dyelbodybuild5601 You're forgetting that Ray Williams' out-totaled Don Reinhoudt before. Ray is just no longer in his prime just like how Don was no longer in his prime after a career-ending injury

@@dyelbodybuild5601 Haack clears🥱🥱

@@Konalo you’re correct but I should also note that ray weighed 100 lbs more than don now 20-30..don mostly weighed around 350 Ray is 400+ always.. I get it I’m not undermining his lifts but at a certain point being that heavy just isn’t impressive. His best squat is only 2.5x his body weight. Lilliebridge squatted 920 raw and 1036 in wraps at 100+ lbs lighter 3 to 3.5x his bodyweight (Eric also out benches and deadlifts him.) For perspective, ray would be a 1260 raw squat or a 1470 squat with wraps to match Lilliebridge.

Returning where? He didn’t qualify for worlds lol

Jesus is 50 pounds away from 1000lb deadlift

@@pontus.andersson LOL 😂, tell me... how do you PRACTICE that amount of weight dropping? First off , you'd already would have to have your hands on it and tension on it . I'm not talking about if he goes down slow and can't lift it back up.

​@@freedomrings1420Or if he falls backwards or even forwards. 😢

do you see who is spotting behind him? its fucking travis ortmayer

Travis oatmyer is the person behind him he's a trained strongman he definately can save a fail with side spotters helping

@@warcraft2807 LOL 😂, yep he's gonna stop all of that weight if the guy fell backwards. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 You must not understand the laws of physics. The weight of the lifter plus the weight on the bar ,equals.... lots of weight

Huh? People get injured and older….can’t stay on top forever…

@@mysticbeing6768 Agreed. He had the flu in 2019 and never bounced back since. Despite that he can still squat 1000+lbs which is amazing to maintain for that long.

Hes older bro cmon🤦‍♂️

He will be alright he just came back i believe he had injuries years ago and his wife got pregnant too his best is still 490KG/247.5KG/375KG he did miss 397.5KG in that year in his last attempt.

@@denzel9455 he’s amazing

Any textbook recommendations with great Static explanations?

Ok nerd

Idiot that rack designed to be that

Ray isn't going to be breaking records he's past his prime. 120+ is now Jesus Olivares and potentially Temur Samkharadze

Yes

You can't see parallel with this angle, especially with heavy weight lifters. Always best to trust side judges since they have the optimal angle.

@@PowerGutPowell Yeah, I know. I’ve judged powerlifting meets.

Strongmen lift with a deadliftbar, straps and suit. That is +80kg right there.

@@windsolarupnorth7084 Except that deadlift suit is not allowed at Arnolds

@@davidkosiba624Even so, deadlift bar is 40kg+ and straps 20kg. Then there was the juice. It would have been intressting to see Thor deadlifting with IPF rules at his prime, I'm certain that he would have lifted less than 450kg.

@@windsolarupnorth7084 They used a stiff bar, and no conventional puller gets 40kg out of a deadlift bar. How much you get out of straps depends entirely on your grip strength. Also bringing up juice as if Ray isn't taking anything is completely delusional.

He's my personal trainer.....I never knew ANY of this until I randomly got this recommended to me...

Yup, Would like to see the side view, maybe I'm missing something but that doesn't even look anywhere close.

front view is always tougher to judge depth, as long as the hip crease is below the knee from the side, is all that matters

@@svmuscle7677 I'm a competitive lifter so yes I know that. That's why I would want to see a side view. Ray has been notorious for depth through his career and has been called on it many times.

@@pvbarbell1904 I think for bigger guys like him and jesus you have to be a bit lenient

@@svmuscle7677 i know, I really Hope there is a side view to clear this out but it do not seem to be at depth. But judging on squat in this fed has been a fraud

Top guys sometimes specialize in either the squat or deadlift. Whichever they are better at. Ray obviously can squat.

A few things. 1. Body weight / body composition. Once you're a SHW (especially if competing in drug-tested competitions) you tend to carry a lot of body fat, which makes it difficult to get into a good position for optimal deadlifting. This is the main reason why you see deadlift numbers plateau in the higher weight classes -- gaining more mass has diminishing (and sometimes even negative) returns, especially if you don't have the frame to carry the weight. I haven't looked for years, but it used to be really common to see SHWs get out-lifted in the deadlift by people in lower weight classes of the same competition. OTOH carrying a lot of body fat doesn't screw up the squat movement, so you tend to see that higher bodyweight = bigger squat. 2. Body proportions. Some people are just naturally built to have a bigger squat or deadlift. Look at any national weightlifting team and they'll have short femurs because it's a bio-mechanical advantage for the lifts. The difference is in powerlifting, being disadvantaged in one lift tends to mean you're better at the other, so it kinda balances out.

@@MSimp2k6 Waw. Thank you for this answer. I love you

​@@MrNendeurssglad to help!

What's your total big boi?

Thats usually not the case, for most lifters it will be pretty even between the two, but the easy answer to this question is that some people’s builds/proportions are just better for certain lifts. For example I tend to be better at deadlifts than squats because I have long arms which are great for deadlifts, but I have long femurs which are terrible for squats.

Ok let's not overreact 😅😅😅 but he might pull it off

⁠@@yannickwillems8523he did it before only 120kg+ to do it raw so he can do it again

@@rashadavery7742 fr Jesus 👀

1037.5kg is the total!

@@powerlifting-world no its not simple as that 16 25kg plates 2 15kg plates ( 430KG ) + 20kg bar (450KG) 992lbs bro dont try it with ur pea sized american brain

Total as in all 3 lifts not just the squat​@@14sgdpg82

​@@14sgdpg82Why would you even comment and i sult someone of being dumb on something you clearly know fuck all about ...

Even though Ray is past his prime he's still squatting 1000+lbs which is insane to maintain for that long. Regardless I love watching Ray's lifting despite the strength he's lost.

@@Konalo the best total ray achieved was 1112KG in his prime while Jesus 1152.5kg only at 24 years old

@@shi5memes690 I know... I'm talking about Ray maintaining a 1000lb squat for as long as he has, not taking away Jesus's accomplishments

@Konalo ah okay

Надо было смаеву показать как надо жать 😊😊😊
