Ray Williams, All Nine Lifts, The Arnold, 2017

[@MrJoshuayap]

mark henrys twinn😂

[@flangmasterj]

That third squat was the best looking of the three. Incredible.

[@panther1457]

Loki: I have an army! Tony: We have Ray Williams

[@ogunbalogun3933]

panther1457 Lmao.

[@woozzification]

If there's ever a sentient forklift uprising where humanity survives but after we're like "nah, not fucking around with forklifts anymore" Ray could make a killing as a human forklift substitute.

[@isaacdiakiteba1009]

Matt Fraser's beard Lmao. Probably could.

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheritrix5733]

Good depth on those squats

[@itiswhatisis8174]

I don´t understand why no saftey bars for squats like the bench has.. Accidents happends and ligaments does break sometimes, and if he gets stuck even for a split second under 1000 pounds before the spotters even realise what just happened its career over and if he gets stuck in a very bad "angle" then migth be worse than that. Isn´t it better to have saftey bars below paralell just in case?

[@louisastuto557]

Totally agree, can't believe he even attempted over 1K under those conditions. 10 spotters can't do anything with 1050 on the bar.

[@ClearSmoke100]

Louis Astuto very true I was squating the other day 410 for 3x3 and that day it just felt weird as I was coming up got stuck had to dump the weights. no way in he'll would I except a spotter to catch that since it happened so quick. outta the 3 lifts squats is the one you want the safety bar the most in my opinion.

[@combinemax]

nobody benches 1000. probably safety bars won't hold up to that amount of impact

[@itiswhatisis8174]

Im not talking about literally the same type of safety bars. Different ones are used for squats or in some cases slings etc.

[@TaltorPoi]

the record is 1075 so yes they do, proper safety bars will take a ridiculous amount of punishment

[@jn6305]

why the hell dont they have a monolift at this thing? walking out 1000+ squats? needlessly dangerous

[@spikehackett3290]

How was that second bench not passed? looked better than the third?

[@ONShypnos]

Pretty sure he got called for lifting his head. One of those little rules that's unique to the IPF.

[@emp100k]

Yeah one of the few things about IPF rules I don't like...

[@drparks1061]

Jeff Hackett or the rack command?

[@drparks1061]

Jeff Hackett never mind, she called rack

[@UnknownXV]

Do you know what the reason is? Does lifting your head make benching easier?

[@Grant-vk6zo]

He looked to have lots more in the tank on all those lifts.So very impressive!!! Amazing job and showing Ray.

[@bryantaylor2427]

Omg unreal. He bottomed out, and even walked it out. WTF.

[@drakescakes5629]

What a beast. You can def tell he specializes in squat but his other two lifts are still great.

[@eliman4189]

his squat was my first meets total! 😂

[@trollforlife]

Dammmnnn. Imagine how much he can bicep curl

[@mondochace]

What is the reasoning behind such strong rules about your position while benching? I can't imagine your head coming off the bench giving an advantage...

[@TheOfficialMook]

Chace Joseph I was thinking the same thing

[@chrismarquez7150]

what a beast keep up the hard work 💪

[@gerpool7]

brilliant

[@AlexYoung1995]

Fucking insane how he's so so strong yet his Dead lift doesn't even touch Eddie Hall...

[@mhess427]

Alex Young Eddie hall focuses his training on his deadlift while ray seems to focus on squats.

[@silverwarrior461]

Alex Young And Eddie Hall's squat doesn't even touch Ray Williams's.

[@AlexYoung1995]

Silver Warrior tbh Eddie doesn't focus on his squat... I've seen him do 760 for 7 easy reps. I don't know what his one rep would be.

[@PowerliftingbyFred]

I'm willing to bet that Ray, who did 865 at this meet, could do 100-150 lb more with the Elephant bar. It's a lot harder to deadlift on a 7 foot stiff powerlifting bar.

[@Mithridates_7]

we will never know what ray would deadlift if he went for it and used straps and a suit. I can tell you that would be aloooot.

[@yu6htbfgd]

1053 lbs smh fuck

[@cameron36]

He is a beast!

[@henchgamer6996]

Guy is a beast

[@santosmichelena3519]

this guy can squat me + my max with fucking ease

[@thetruth1734]

Chill. He high squat

[@thispersonsdad7247]

Santos Michelena he can squat me and my Max on either side of the bar

[@ogunbalogun3933]

TheBulgarianWolf He never said that.

[@hawg427]

The man is awesome, no problem with the wt. or the depth. Personally I think he could go even higher if he didn't stand there so long after he is setup. That amount of weight has to take a little bit out of you. The rule about lifting your head on the bench is stupid personally. My traps and neck were huge when I powerlifter and I had trouble keeping my head on the bench. I had one head judge ask me if I needed any velcro, LOL.

[@MichaelCowann]

once ray starts squating 500 they really need to get a monolift ot some kind of saftey bars the spotters aint gonna catch it if somthing goes wrong

[@t.kupincanada6093]

freak of nature

[@detroitforever5352]

the guys a beast

[@clarkh3314]

hes a literal god

[@DimaShinder]

I'm amazed someone can even walk out with that weight

[@samissuccessful5233]

1053 in knee sleeves a 1053 that's insane! and he's got more in him that's even more insane at that weight it's all raw those sleeves are just for decoration.

[@Wuttfist]

he should try strongman

[@ThumbWiggler]

sadly his upper body is weak due to some shoulder injury he currently has

[@ogunbalogun3933]

ThumbWiggler It'll heal right?

[@RATBURL]

Amazing 😉

[@yusufbrownhawkel4053]

Nobody should be that strong dam

[@danielclark6912]

I love how they are using tiny guys to spot him lol

[@Yorenzo27]

Easily the greatest squatter of all time!

[@samdavies1752]

Imagine what he could squat in a suit, Mark bell has a 600lb raw squat, but had a 1000lb geared squat

[@trueblue3655]

beast mode

[@averyhuelsbeck3116]

It's crazy that when you really look at him and start to analyze his strength and size.. His arms are his weakest point..... That's mind blowing to me.

[@fingermustacheinc4569]

Imagine if he got shredded.....

[@Thatclutchkid]

what in the fuck? that's not how physiology works lmfao

[@Madness851]

wildwilllis1 Then how come old school bodybuilders were also the best powerlifters around?

[@Troopmcdoop]

they weren't?

[@AB-vu3hc]

Finger Mustache inc old school powerlifters were the best bodybuilders. In fact you had to lift until the 50s I believe and it was part of your score. Look at Larry wheels dan green and Kevin oak. All look like bodybuilders of old. Who all went heavy often.

[@Fettman07]

He would be nothing if he lost all his body mass. It takes weight to move weight, you can be jacked and strong but never as strong as the heavier version of yourself, up to a limit obviously if he got too heavy it would become a hinderance..

[@MrInzombia]

def one of the strongest men on the planet. atleast top 5

[@silverwarrior461]

My God.

[@pcl5636]

that 970 squat looked legitimately easy for him

[@snbforever]

Pounds or kilos, please, make up your minds! STANDADIZE!!!

[@Cr5pt0Puzzl3B0x]

He makes the bar look like it's mad out of aluminum foil

[@MrSpukinator]

That dudes got some huge legs

[@clintbrunke2074]

I wanna see this guy go head to head in strong man with thor and brian shaw

[@Xenon1740]

anyone know which adidas shoe he wears?

[@charliechuck8994]

Wtf he's a giant strong man

[@averagejoe5016]

Can somebody tell me how the weights even get to numbers not ending in a 5 or 0?

[@PowerliftingbyFred]

Conversion of kilos to pounds

[@danjeff764]

I don't understand why it's hard for people to understand the difference between kg and lb

[@Deuger]

Does anybody know what sheos are those?

[@PowerliftingbyFred]

Just wrestling shoes.

[@gizmonovack]

If he drop this weight , spotters wouldn’t be able to save him

[@ryanb18222]

Dude could fight a silverback and win

[@ogunbalogun3933]

Ryan Bennett 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sukritdobhal3177]

thats my fav natty vegan oily friend Rich Pianas warm up squat set,just to warm quads,he even over head presses it sometimes after coming up from squats.

[@InternetMunchies]

unfuckwitable

[@kkg9299]

He could go heavyer on the sqaut !

[@rambo2782]

why is his squat better than deadlifts

[@Mithridates_7]

he is fat and can't barely get the bar over his stomach. mostly that's why

[@WaterDrinkersUnited]

I bet this guy can squat as much as Eddie Hall can deadlift.

[@bubbi666]

it´s looks like he has his belt not closed all squats and deadlifts. or the lever is open. maybe this was just all warm up for him :P

[@ossme]

SQUATZILLA! O_O

[@KG-et7lq]

bap bap

[@M2J2X]

That shows you how strong coleman was. Wonder what he could have achieved if he went for powerlifting instead of bodybuilding.

[@EmoPeter2000]

Ray is tested though

[@sunnytian4765]

i came for squat

[@tylergnosis2581]

and did it raw

[@БайкаБайкович]

I fucking hate this measuring system

[@mkc_15]

@ 3:36 did she say fuck

[@tstreino]

crazy How Pete Rubish deadlifts same as ray but weighs like 3x less

[@tstreino]

+Mr. Natural 100% agreed

[@followerofgms8294]

Mr. Natural those are people that feel the deadlift is ultimate test of strength

[@lep4372]

Pete Rubish weights 120 lbs? that's great ! 7x bodyweight !

[@tstreino]

+Obese Lord lol u know i was joking right?

[@abcitiseasyasonetwothree3066]

Iago Borges no he doesn't show me where he dont uses deadlift bar and straps abd still pulls 860

[@costa6235]

I tried to calculate the lb to kg but I got tired

[@afteryouknowme4642]

This is proof you can do amazing things without steroids.

[@TheOfficialMook]

AfterYouKnowMe he's one in a billion lol

[@googlename2898]

what does arnold think of this crazy shit

[@1587-i3w]

Funny how he breaks all his own records easily during a competition with no testing ayy

[@yannicdelafuente796]

He also easily broke his records at IPF worlds. They test there. He is constantly breaking is his own records. He is just a fucking monster.

[@1587-i3w]

Thats being naive.

[@benscott3780]

15874 95984984 this is a tested meet too

[@RTHpriest]

I don't understand why they even bother testing. Every world class powerlifter takes PED's. The only logical reason would be making people believe that powerlifters are drug free and natural,since many people actually believe it.

[@PowerliftingbyFred]

I couldn't disagree with you more. I've been competing in USAPL (formerly known as ADFPA) since 1989. I've been masters national champion 14 times and IPF world champion, and I have NEVER taken PEDs. USAPL does REAL drug testing. I've been out of meet tested several times, as well as in meet. Have there been some cheaters in USAPL? Yes, but the authentic and consistent testing discourages most cheaters, and I could name a few USAPL lifters who have been caught and received lifetime suspensions--but this is a few out of many thousands.

[@drewkocak]

Those squats are disgusting

[@spacepapi3703]

Small

[@bobjoe7707]

Lmao not gonna lie he sat the bar on his chest like that isn't benching Imo

[@jn6305]

BALDLY MARTYN FIT_BIKELIFE1990 your opinion is not relevant since power lifting federations have their own criteria. also the rest pause makes it much harder because you cant use elastic energy, you basically just have to power it up. having 500 pounds sitting on your chest without bouncing it is much harder than just tapping your chest and springing the weight back up

[@Paolo-uq3fc]

BALDLY MARTYN FIT_BIKELIFE1990 as opposed to?..

[@sbrent284]

if you listen closely throughout the vid you can hear ed coan laughing at these "insane" lifts

[@thispersonsdad7247]

S Brent if you listen even closer you can hear him putting on his multi ply suits and wraps

[@thispersonsdad7247]

S Brent if you listen even closer you can hear him putting on his multi ply suits and wraps

[@addikaye]

Ray has the highest raw total of all time. You are a moron.

[@akbop3749]

this guy is a one trick pony. crazy insane squat but his 2 lifts arent nearly as impresive. maybe he just got burned out after those insane squats.
