The Greatest Powerlifting Performance of All Time - Austin Perkins, 851kg @ 74.2kg

[@coldspaghetti4732]

most impressive part is seeing a lifter from USAPL hitting depth

[@Blackbereh]

Can’t believe he totalled more than Russ in the 82.5/83s 🤣 Beat every DOTS/IPF GL points of all federations, even feds with knee wraps and deadlift bars, completely insane. By the far the most best meet performance ever, sorry Taylor

[@WhiteLightsMedia]

Nuts innit

[@alexflores-gb7iz]

Russ was injured last year, no need to put it in this context to begin with lol

[@Blackbereh]

@@alexflores-gb7iz still beat every 82.5/83 lifter out there 😅 Gibbs, Noriega, Delaney etc. No disrespect to any of them, they’re all crazy strong and better than anyone of us will ever be, but insane he did more than any of them by far at 74.2kg

[@bamtreetoppiru5]

Bro you sound goofy as hell cus Russ set that record years ago like really bruh⁉️ like yeah you really on some real casual fk shit my boi‼️ Everything Austin did was amazing like that part was hella obvious but... Russ Squats is creeping up to the 800's, his Bench is creeping up to the 500's and his Deadlifts is creeping up to the 800's‼️ Lastly, I find it funny that every powerlifter is making a name for themselves once Russ stops competing...🖕😂

[@Unbyw2]

Insane. I'd really like to see him compete internationally in a federation with high judging standards like ipf. To see how the travel or the lower time weigth in affect him. Could be insane to see such a performance at such a level

[@rfn]

He will go to IPF he said

[@augustinevenero2780]

Usapl and ipf have the same weighin time and identical standard sans bench press rule, which was introduced in 2022 only by the IPF. He’s also already competed and medaled internationally twice in the IPF. It will go the same way it’s going now - Perkins will dominate with ease.

@@WhiteLightsMediatested doesn’t mean natural. People have been skirting tests for decades in strength sports.

This is extremely impressive either way.

[@chrisb4474]

Can someone explain to me. I’m from the UK and relatively new to powerlifting. At a UK national we can’t break world IPF records right? So how does Perkins competing at a USAPL event break a world record or am I missing something here? Remember I’m new to this…insane lifting regardless!

[@Fitzz1919]

He’s in the USAPL which isn’t part of the IPF. PA or powerlifting America is the official IPF federation of america. He’s setting world records within the USAPL because this is their highest level of competition similar to IPF worlds. Also people often refer to world records even when they aren’t officially being broken to heighten the stakes for that lift.

[@chrisb4474]

@@Fitzz1919 ok ok thanks 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@augustinevenero2780]

It is an all time world record squat regardless of the federation, tested or untested. Those are recognized separately than intra-federation records, rather encompassing powerlifting as a whole.
