Rondel Hunte - 1,045kg Total @ 119.5kg

Re-live Ronel Hunte's crazy 1,045kg total at 119.5kg bodyweight from USAPL Raw Nationals 2023.
Possibly the most unerrated performance from the competition, this performance beat Dennis Cornelius' historic IPF World Record total, and was also the first time someone has totalled over 1,000kg weighting under 120kg on the drug tested side.

Awesome that you guys finally uploaded this pretty historical moment. Rondel is going to be in the goat discussion eventually.

[@adamstacharowski5231]

Yea whenever he comes off suspension

[@calvinstevickbrown8171]

why did he get suspended?

[@adamstacharowski5231]

@@calvinstevickbrown8171 I believe he competed in a different federation that got him suspended. Not positive though. That’s why he was a guest lifter

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Absolutely mate! Insane performance

Wow what a grind. The grind on the squat is the best sensations ever when you finish it.

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Right?!

[@misterringer]

Damn he was dialed in. Every last lift was at his absolute limit. Perfect lifts.

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

True that

[@BuffPomsky]

That 3rd squat was both legendary and inspiring...time to hit legs!

Holy shit what an excellent choice of weights! Every single last attempt was a perfect grind, congrats!

5000 dollar is absolutely ridiculous for this performance. One or even two zeros more would be appropriate

I hope the prizes increases in the future when powerlifting becomes bigger.

[@fritzyann3832]

And who is giving the money ?

[@MR12AMAZING]

Powerlifting is a very niche sport.

[@steelparagon5868]

Minus taxes as well I presume lol. Because the sponsor or Org that’s paying it wants to claim that money as write off. So like 3500

[@TimTimothy11]

And he was disappointed 🤣

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Haha on the day yeah, there's for sure more there on the deadlift! And I'm sure he'll progress more in the future

[@DreamteamCarlo]

I know nothing at all about lifting, but did they seriously say he gets just 5,000 bucks for what is clearly a very special achievement? That seems like a really tiny prize, especially for American standards.

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

It is tiny. Powrrlifting is now in a major transition moment where money is just coming in in a serious way but thats mainly in europe or on the world level in the IPF federation. Its a big part of why rondel is coming over tk the ipf. If hed done this performance at sheffield hed have made minimum 6 times this.

[@backpulse]

If he is natty, where can I find his drug test results?

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

USAPL.

[@hadi7474]

Impressive af. But when you know that John Haack lifted 22,5kg less in total while having only 3/4 of his weight...

[@joederbyshire_]

I love John as much as anyone but PED’s are well…… a hell of a drug 😂

[@Jamesfrancosdog]

Notice the lack of a stupid slingshot on the bench and no straps on the deadlift. This guy is awesome 👍🏼👍🏼

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Nice Severus snape profile picture. “You were seen by no less.. than 7.. muggles”. And yeah rondel smashed it!

[@ggg34812]

How dots work??

[@liambrewerpowerlifting]

feeds weight and total into an equation and gives your a score based on that

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Yeah as our boy said, it takes into account your bodyweight against your total based on historical data. Not 100% accurate but still a decent measure of comparison!

[@deepanshurana8885]

Why these type of people don't compete in ipf( world level championship). Even though they can take medal easily, if we look at his numbers. Are they natty😂

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

Rondel has talked about it a couple times. Trinidad and tobago had a political squabble between the former and current regime for powerlifting. The IPF gave the country an indefinite suspension until it was resolved. During that time Rondel competed in 1 USAPL meet since he was stuck unable to compete for several years at that point and was turning into basically a gym lifter. Then the IPF lifts the ban but it now means he'd have to face at least a 12 month ban because he competed in a competitor federation. Luckily for us though, Rondel just announced he's coming to the IPF and he'll take the ban no matter how long it is.

[@tonygrigri2475]

​@@Isaiah_McIntoshso you think rondel is natty? Why lifters from usapl are much more stronger than in ipf? Why atwood became stronger when he competed at usapl?

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

@@tonygrigri2475 honestly........I don't know or care. Just pass the drug tests which he's done same as everyone else. People lose strength coming to IPF because of judging standards, much quicker flight times, for the US folk travel fatigue, much less time between weigh in and competing etc. The IPF is the hardest league in the world for all the reasons out together not just the drug testing standard, which isn't that huge a deal clearly when you have IPF lifters outtotalling their untested counterparts.

[@tonygrigri2475]

@@Isaiah_McIntosh but what is the beef between IPF and USAPL if the drug test from USAPL is good?

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

@@tonygrigri2475 wanting to be the official federation of the sport. Mate it's about branding and money. Individuals might give a shit about things like drug testing but it's about money to federations. Things like the ipf having the sbd sponsor or ipf not allowing the use of certain other sponsors by athletes. It's always about money 🤣. Just like the local trinidad federation getting split up for all those years.
