LMFAO
Johnny Walker in The Comments
3:43 490kg Squat
8:35 247.5kg Bench
10:51 375kg Deadlift
MVP
How tf do you deadlifts over 100kgs less than you squat ?
@@jordanr6174 being a large guy like Ray and trying to deadlift is not a good mix, usually they struggle no matter sumo or conv their gut gets in the way but I might be wrong he might just have better squat leverages rather than deadlift.
@@jordanr6174 grip is a limiting factor
@@shaspell2881 ya maybe, it’s still a big gap though Like over 250lbs.
Third squat was definitely deep enough and he even seemed to have more in the tank. Ray's undoubtedly the king of powerlifting at the moment
I'd say he's more like the king of raw squat because he doesn't seem that strong or dominant in the other lifts compared to inferior weight classes. He still has the biggest total so you could be right.
@@tvnja Compare his wilks to anyone
@@tvnja I'd say THE greatest squatter of all time, and ONE OF the best powerlifters of all time. He's amazing to watch!
@mad twatter yeah, it'd be a hard list to nail down for sure. In my opinion, Ray is the greatest squatter. If anyone disagrees, I'm sure they'd at least concede that he's in the top 5.
tvnja uuuuh he has put up almost 900 lbs on deadlift???? Dafuq you talking about fool? Only weak lift he has is bench and even he has admitted that it’s a weak point. He owns a deadlift record as well. Please stop commenting
I hear next year Ray is gonna be the stage
Oke
1 year completed
What a humble dude. Takes the L at 477.5 (3:03) with no complaints, comes back head held high to leave no doubt at 490kg, then goes and thanks and shakes the hands of the judges that denied him the 477.5. Then shakes hands with and thanks all the spotters. No wonder the crowd loves him.
For anyone who doesn't have time to watch the full video:
Squat: 490 kg (3rd attempt)
Bench: 247.5 kg (3rd attempt)
Deadlift: 375 kg (2nd attempt)
Total: 1112.5 kg -- 2453 lb
Why is his squat so much better than strongman and his deadlift so much worse. Seems weird.
@@nikolavideomaker My question exactly
thanks
@@nikolavideomaker I think it's because the big belly helps them in a squat and a disadvantage for the deadlift
@@nikolavideomaker i just think this guy was absolutely build for the squat but at the same time the way he is build is working against him on the deadlift same with jezza uepa their belly makes it difficult to get into position. Ray his best deadlift was something like 398.5KG, so it's absolutely not that bad but he is very limited there that's for sure.
USAPL needs to calm down with their stage graphics lmao
Yeah, they did alot more of camera while i was there
Right! 12:28 Lets have the graphics so bright it screws up the camera so you only see Ray's silhouette.
I thought I was the only who noticed this. The lighting completely sucked.
WWE!!!
Why did they get spotters from the Blizzard convention
These guys are way bigger than the average. They just look small next to Ray.
I love how he goes and shakes the spotter’s hands. What a gent
490kg raw with that much speed! One of the most impressive if not THE most impressive lift of all time!
The most
Alessandro Razzoli I’d say half a ton deadlift was better
This was half a ton squat. Way better
Idk eddie strict axel press was smooth and good speed very impressive
@@bouncybear4111 bruh, wtf? That eddie deadlift was on a long bar and with those fucking straps. Aaaand, he weighs 30 fucking more kilograms than Ray. Most fucking squats with straps are not even close to 450 kg. ,
4:34 one of the greatest moments in powerlifting history. And the single greatest squat ever seen. Ive never seen 1K+ go up so easy. That was incredible.
More impressive than Eddie Hall's 500.
@@123456783987 most likely yeah.
I hear next year Ray is gonna drop to the 83 class
*66 class
@@fleetwoodmacsexpants womens 47*
Eddie Hall, guys.

83 average males combined?
Pretty sure Ray Williams left buttcheek weighs 83 kg
0:45 YEEAHH BUDDYYY
LIGHT WEIGHT!
Alex Hayden yeah thats the whole point of the joke
When he squats it looks like he sits down on a cube of dynamite that explodes as soon as he sits down on it. And then he explodes up
I think he said in one of his videos that he almost always squats without a spotter.
getting that shit up is like fighting for life every single time
@@Magerquark lol yeah that's understandable
@@Magerquark I only wonder why he is so explosive on the bottom because as far as I know in training he usually doesn't even go all the way down to parallel in order to protect his knees
I hear they made a new clothing size for ray - Extray Large (equivalent to a XXXXXXXL)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL
0:43 Was that Ronnie Coleman shouting "Yeah buddy" in the background?
yea buddy
Nice to see Ray display this level of longevity
Its all about stretching and taking care of your body! The simplest things that weight lifters forget to do!
It's hard to judge with the background graphics
Finally someone mentions this. Scrolling through thinking I was the only person thinking this. I couldn't imagine being a ref with that shit show of lighting. Dark skin, dark singlet and very low/flickering lighting.
after watching strongman i was thinking this guys deadlift looks weak. Then I think about how much I deadlift and i think again haha.
Shayden Stevens yeah but he squatted more than all the strongman deadlifts, plus he wasn’t using gear.
In strongman competitions they are allowed to hitch. Also, they used the elephant bar this weekend so it's a different lift
@@Anastasia-xp3qt i think by 'gear' he meant straps, suits, knee wraps... Ray done this totally raw
@christopher russell every strong man is on juice too bud.
you also need to remember that this is without straps and i believe thor failed at around 410ish when he competed in a powerlifting meet couple months back so not biggest difference in raw strength
As if those spotters would be able to grab 2454.643 pounds on a free fall hahaha (edited because that’s kg not lbs)
About 220 lbs each. Its definitely possible but would be a tough job. The idea is that you dont expect ray to full out collapse so hed still be doing most of the work.
THExJMC the weight would never be distributed that evenly across each person. They are basically just there to make sure it doesn’t crush him if it did fall.
@@THExJMC Yeah, the five spotters take a few dozen pounds off each at most but that's the difference between failing a weight and being able to do it for reps
THExJMC doesn’t matter how you split it, if you’re implying that you can casually and easily control at least 200 pounds on an over head press you stand no chance.
THExJMC if this man were to drop the weight there will be no weight taken off those spotters now have over 200 pounds each to catch in a blink of an eye I don’t know about you but most men can’t lift 1000 plus pounds
Nobody:
Commentator: diD U see thOsE grApHics!?!?
I know right...the fuck?? Then he's all yeah my buddy just texted me about some tortillas.
I watched this right before my leg day workout. Needless to say I will be squatting a "tad" less than Ray did.
The speed out of that hole with 490kg, Just incredible explosiveness and strength...
Exactly. Same speed as us mortals with 315.
My god the mans grip strength, no straps, over 800 pounds!! Freakish
He used mixed grip, much smaller and weaker people can grip that much using mixed grip...
@@pattybaselines Did I say "tons" of people? Anyway, it isn't even uncommon. I've seen smaller nobodies rack pulling that much or more with over under grips...
That's a guy who never skips leg day
Well that, and more on the fact that he is genetically gifted with huge calves. you cannot get that by lifting alone.
@@pointsur67 being huge gives you huge calves I can tell you that
@@mitchleigh2369 and THAT my friend, was the greatest misinformation ever said....
@@pointsur67 considering I'm huge myself as in fat... and I have huge calves... when u weigh a lot your calves have to grow to be strong enough to be able to carry you..
@@pointsur67 obviously lifting will make them even bigger but I dunno how ur gonna tell me I'm wrong
Love how grounded this guy is. Deadlifts 782 like he curled it, feathered it down to the floor and still waits almost anxiously for those lights, like theres a possibility he might not have made it.
This guy is amazing! The best squatter I've ever seen for sure
Honestly bro! His speed and explosion is crazy! An example for the youth!
Why is the deadlift seen as more impressive and prestigious at 1000 lbs than the squat when its done at 1000lbs if most people's DL is higher than their squat and most 1k DL are done with straps. 1000 lbs squats don't seem to get the attention that 1000 lb DL get.
True asf.
@Gore4ever FulciLives Having 500kg on your back requires amazing mental fortitude. I can drop a heavy deadlift and walk away, not to mention that if there is technical failure you still have a chance of brute forcing it up at lower weights. It is a different story with a squat. Just getting under that weight and walking it out would psych most people out and technical failure means that you are probably getting folded.
It is all just opinions really but the squat will always be the king for me.
@Gore4ever FulciLives exactly. With a squat or bench press, you can feel the weight on your back and in your hands - you have time to mentally prepare for the it. A deadlift is just raw, explosive power; your body doesn't get to prime itself for the weight you're about to lift.
Deadlifts are tough but backing out of the rack with 1080, holding it to get set and completing the squat is a whole different ballgame. I'd say its tougher.
Deadlifts are more clear cut. You either move the weight from A to B or you don't. squats are filled with idiot judges and different interpretations. I hate watching squats because of all the bullshit judging and inconsistencies that lead to the questioning of if a lift is good or not.
3rd attempt timestamps
Squat: 4:34
Bench: 9:13
Deadlift: 12:25
they really need to show the faces of these judges when they say that these lifts are no good
witnessed it and amazed, grateful, euphoric...ssh you name it! thanks for the quality upload.
Absolutely stunning!! Congrats Big Ray!!
0:45
"YEAH BUDDY"
AINT NOTHING BUT A PEANUT.
Light weight baby.
What a class act. Thanking the refs and all of his spotters. Truly a champ.
thanks for putting this together so I can get my squat fix
Your a beast bro! You inspire so many people to become better versions of themselves
That second squat attempt was just as good as his other two. What the hell were the judges talking about?
Those atrocious graphics and lighting system might have played the part, its a power meet it should be well lit atleast when competitor is attempting the lift this looks like they set a power meet in a nightclub
That background screen is very distracting
Insane total! Respect, all squats to the depth etc ( even in my books ).
awesome gesture from the beast, thanking his (super brave) spotters.
When you see that the bar has so much weight on that it bends even though its still on the rack, you know its something
That 490kg squat looks smooth af, seem like we're gonna see a 500kg squat soon
Absolutely amazing stuff
Dammmmmm that was amazing I’m in tears that hit me right in the feels
i couldn’t even see that there was a spotter standing behind him
Holy crap!!! He came up out of the bottom like he had booster rockets!!!
Congratulations to Ray! What a Beast of a man.
Unbelievable !!! Great job .
That is way more than my total will ever will be
Don't say that bro! Just keep working hard!
It would be amazing to see Ray and Halfthor compete together both in strongman and powerlifting
Thor would win no doubt
At the moment Thor would win in strongman, Ray would win in powerlifting. Their bench is pretty much equal, Ray crushes Thor in squat and Thor wins in deadlift, but without straps the advantage isn't big enough to overcome the squat difference. Altough, if Thor focused on powerlifting he would probably be world champion.
@@Cieciowski but thor didn't max on squat last time, also he doesn't specifically train bench so with a few months of training I think he would win in powerlifting and obviously in strongman
But you also have to realize Ray competes in a strictly drug tested organization, unlike strongman
That's what I said, he has a lot of room to improve.
Incredible man!
Great help from the guys there, williams doesn't need to worry if he dropped
YEEEEAH BUDY LIGHT WEIGHTTT
This guy should try strongman
llXxDragoxXll would be interesting but I dunno how he’d fare in the moving events
His deadlift would need to increase a lot, but he'd have a wicked base! Strongman is a whole different beast.
Power lifters become a machine that does three exercises whereas strongmen have strength everywhere. It would be cool to see Hafthor fully focus on powerlifting to see how heavy he could go. His first meet he pulled a 1,100kg/2,425 lb total.
@@veganpowerstrongman7000 He might be able to lift more in DL with straps
@Vinny Booboo Thor made 410kg in the competition, but failed 430kg.
For me ,this is the most difficult sport ,which deserve much money and it needs to be rated more than this
Perfect depth, no suit, and didn't push much smaller people than him out of the way afterwards. Take note Dave Hoff.
“Yeah buddy” in the back lol
this the real strongest man in the world -
YEAH MA SON, YEAH
I was so hyped i got a picture with him and congratulate him in person
"You just gotta stand up." - Ray Williams on the squat
5:25 This amount of bro-love is so pure I almost shed a tear, but then I made it go back behind my eye cause no homo
How was that 1052 not counted? TF is wrong with these judges?!
Front view is hard to judge, but he was higher. I used to lift in ADFPA (which became USAPL) and the judges are STRICT.
They hear all the chatter about high squats being given away like candy.
Great job bro
That explosive power in the first half of the upwards movement is insane.
awsome
I know he’s super human but it feels weird seeing cailer pulling more then this guy in the deadlift
WAY TO GO RAY!!
Jesus Christ I haven’t followed him in a year, now he’s the world record holder in this shit. Congrats man you’ve come a long way
The no-lift call on that second squat was ridiculous. Did they bring in replacement refs for that one?
Video with ray! Automatic click
This squat is the most impressive lift ever made in human history
The potential in that squat to hit over 500kg is insane!
Monster
Thor hit the same depth as Ray when he did the 460 kg squat. These pieces of trash called judges who gave thor red lights should definitely be knocked out
@@patrickbateman9077 yeah, or attacked by a litter of fluffy Golden Retriever puppies!
Thats why powerlifting is a joke. People abusing leverages to reduce the rom by as much as possible with a crowd of spotters around them so that they dont die. Strongman is the shit.
Haftor's and Ray's squats were both in that questionable territory were you can't really blame the judges tbh. Haftor might've encountered some harsh ones but anyone thinking he got robbed is way off base IMO.
@@dongholio707 , the squats were below parallel.
@@thetotalpackage2362 Thor's was slightly questionable. He was unlucky tbh. Ray's, from the angles I've seen, looked pretty questionable. Not saying it shouldn't have gotten whites, but it'd be understandable if it didn't.
My point is that it's pretty retarded to put any blame on the judges on squats like those.
"It is always difficult to judge a famous athlete with very massive thighs. But it is even more difficult to judge him in his hometown. If you judge strictly - the athlete's fans will be offended, if you are loyal - people will accuse you of judging of the local athlete very kindly, taking into account all his titles. I always stick to the rules of the federation that holds the tournament. I try to judge all athletes equally."
That quote is from one of judges from Thor's comp.
This is freaking unbelievable. Dude is a machine!
Incredible performance by ray, hoping to see 500kg raw at some point
Commentary is waaaaaack
Eddie Hall - "Deadlift? Hold my beer"
Cant really compare the two. Eddie used straps and deadlift suit on his world record. This was done raw.
@@FabledGentleman Still 500kg... Can you physically hold onto 500kg without straps?
@@iysaw I have a feeling you completely missed the point here. lol
Unless you have video of Eddie Hall lift more than 375/390 kg RAW
@@FabledGentleman Definitely didn't.
@@iysaw So Eddie Hall has not lifted more than 375kg raw? well then my argument stands.
This is honestly peak human performance. Humans are so incredible.
what I love about BIG RAY he doesn't do that sumo and arch your back shit when he lifts just straight up raw monster power
Jason Genova is the most strongest power lifter in the world!
That was before his 3 car crashes and 1 plane crush.
If your a weight lifter then you know lifting without straps or suits is much harder. This guy is superior to Eddie and Thor.
no way in hell no way in heaven no way on earth, fact is Thor and Eddie Brian zydrunas and mateusz all destroy ray
understand? little man
@@robarauza9640 Post a vid of them lifting this weight RAW or shut the fuck up.
proud to watch mark henry old rear video
I was tearing up. Seriously 💪
I can't be the only person straightening my back out watching that deadlift lmaooo
He is king Kong in human form.
Are you ever going for a 200kg press?
@@nicholasdimedio302 overhead? Nah lost interest tbh 190kg was decent enough for me, motivated more by a huge raw bench press
Let's Go Devil Dog!!!!!💪🏾💯🏋🏾♂️
One the things that amazes me the most when watching power lifting is the body's ability to hold so much weight. It's amazing how the knees and ankles dont snap from all that weight.
there are muscles that support the joints
Sometimes they do snap. There are videos out there.
wow Ray sqauted more than Thor's deadlift!
Thor's max deadlift so far is 410kg. Everything else is strongman stuff with straps and hitch and bar bend and 18inch heigt.... and can't be correctly compared to a deadlift in powerlifting.
@@yozkopf3000 You don't know what you're talking about, dumbass.
@@blackeesh463 Stupid, did he hitch the lift? No. Was he wearing a suit? No. Straps are irrelevant, you can easily use hook grip or over under like Ray, which makes grip strength a non issue. Use your brain, he did that months away from the contest he was programmed to peak for, obviously he's not going to do as much. He also didn't have thousands of screaming people in the crowd and millions watching around the world...
@@detectiveniggachu860 Is it now? There are those who also claim otherwise. Eddie Halls max Elephant bar lift is lower than Thor's. Why is that?
@@detectiveniggachu860 That's not true. Eddie Hall himself has said the Elephant bar is harder because it pulls you forward. Larry Wheels agrees aswell.
Anyway they both have their disadvantages so for now we can't say one is harder than the other.
Wasn't there a russian guy that squated 515 kg raw? Was it equiped? I am confused
stelios mpoltsis yea it was Vlad Alhazov. He squatted 525kg raw with wraps bro
yes but the difference is that Ray only wears Knee sleeves and that he is competing in a drug tested federation and Vlad is not. (although you never know if he is really natty, but at least he can't be completely full of gear during the competition)
Ray is the most amazing squatter atm!
Yep and it was in monolift
none are natty. this strength is way above natural human potential@@justinbryan1973
@@Torengest I think it is highly unlikely too, but there is still a huge difference from competing in a fed, in which you have to take drug tests regularly, to one in which you can blast yourself to oblivion before the meet
Nice ..seriously solid form n deprh..
Mr. Williams made the last one a paused deadlift :) This dude is so strong.
I don't care what anyone thinks, this guy is stronger than any strongman.
You're stupid.
Bench is very weak for his sheer mass
I agree, his bench should be around 640 plus for his size. Hes not far off that goal if he shoots for it, even larry wheels has bench pressed that.
@@tombean2347 larry wheels is one of the best benchers in the world in his weight class, plus he is on so many roids it's not even comparable to ray
@@tyler9804 do you really think ray is clean... lance armstrong was also drug tested...
Tyler Graham ray isnt natty at all but i think he was going safe on his bench because the squat and deadlift were more important to get the highest numbers so he probably held back on the bench or didnt train it as much as the squat etc
@@tyler9804 that line gets so old
Good Job
What a B E A S T!!!!! Congratulations RAY!!!!
Although I like Ray he in no way hit parallel. Every competition you look he doesn´t hit it.
Not saying is not impressive af but the judges are not going with the rules.
Honestly I think he got deep enough. It’s hard to tell cause his quads and belly completely hide his hip crease but I bet if you took an x-ray his femur would be below parallel to the ground
The bigger some body is the harder it is to tell from the front, because what looks like his hip crease is actually just the top of his quad so in reality he's going 3-5inches lower than we can see
your wrong his femur goes slightly below parallel
def hit parallel, youre either blind or stupid
Hi guys, you are salty af. Relax, we are talking about a fucking SQ.
I know these things:
-The bigger the harder to see
-Front and a little bit higher angle tends to look like a higher SQ
I have considered these things and still doesn´t look to me like he hits parallel.
Coming here after watching Jesus Oliveres absolutely SHATTER the record with a massive 1152.5kg total
Unreal, how fast he comes up
BEAST
