- Big Ray Williams is our guest for episode 173. Ray has the biggest walked out, raw (knee sleeves only) competition squat of all time with 1,005 lbs. - over half a ton with probably more in the tank. He may be the only person with a walked out squat over a grand to be working on a doctorate degree. We reach way back to talk about being 20 years old and needing to step up and adopt his two younger sisters, what he loves about living in small town, and all-time favorite foods. We also diving into his training style, his goals for the near future, and coaching football and strength, and gives us the rundown on “Money Time.”
You can find Ray at @optimusprime_334 on IG and
@coach_williams1 on Twitter.
Mark Bell hosts with Michael Farr and Jim McDonald.

I was already a fan of Ray the powerlifter, I'm now a big fan of Ray the human being. Such a humble and funny guy.
such a cool humble dude.
Amen
I feel like beeing able to squat 1000lbs allows you to shout "bitch I squat 1k" to random people
good to hear an interview with Ray by people that actually have some pride in production quality.
This dude is my hero. Great interview!
you guys have the best follow up questions. "when people change technique they usually lighten weights, did you have to do that?" and then just let the guy talk and keep prying. perfect interview techniques
hes a monster! also Eddie hall would be amazing to on thr podcast!
What a great guy!
He lifts heavy ass weight with ease. What a beast!💪👏
I can get Jiggy with this. Everybody stays on the team for now. This was probably my favorite Powercast episode !!!!
Once Ray gets his Ph.D. I have no doubt that Dr. Squat would readily lend his moniker to this guy if he was still alive.
What a great fella Ray williams is! One of the best podcasts to date ! THANKS
"Dude, ya look like a corndog" Shit had me cracking up.
Great interview! Such a respectful dude! congrats on your 1005lbs sir!!!
One of the best powercasts. Ray is the man!
awesome podcast you guys! ray seems like a super humble and nice guy!
been waiting for this like Forever:D_)thanks Mark:)
Wonder how he feels about Jezza's 440(970) for a double... can't wait for worlds now! these guys are killing it!
Scott Carson did I hear him say money lift not mono lift. because that's a thing now
Scott Carson Fuck man, if Jezza didn't fuck up with his opener he would have gone for 480 on his third, maybe beating ray, but rays 470 was scary
Scott Carson
Ray Williams thinks 970 squat for a double is cute.
Beast!! He had me dying when he said dont worry about hahhahah keep up the good work guys i can never get enough of the powercast
Been waiting for this episode!
1005 fking pounds....JESUS CHRIST. God bless u man and keep going.I dont fking care if he's on gear or not i just dont care.The weight it's just....mind blowing.
He is definitely on gear, but so are the rest of them in that weight class so that's not why he is better than them....he is a monster, I think he is better than Malanichev who is on more gear than Ray imo.
pdbre How do you know whos on more gear?
Jake H. What that thing at end of my comment?
pdbre Why is that your opinion? Or are you just talking nonsense for fun
Jake H. Malanichev does not compete in the IPF...that's why...
Just subbed to you after seeing you on Meg's channel! Love the way you explained everything in her video!
When I started powerlifting back in the 80s, knee wraps was all there was. You squatted in what was called a Supersuit. To my knowledge there was no multiply. So wraps is all I know when it comes to going heavy. I didn't start wearing sleeves until a few years ago. Quite a different feeling. Wraps will numb the legs but I've never felt they hurt. But then I probably don't wrap nearly as tight because no one does it for me.
great interview, thanks
i love this guy
Solid guest!
Great vid guys!!!
Yes! Ask and you shall receive!
Nice Humble guy can't believe he said The Last Dragon love that movie
Great episode!
Really loving that burgundy ST shirt. Need to cop me one.
What mark said about not updating phones I believe it 100% as soon as I don't update things starting acting weirder
Awesome guy. Strong as hell. A lot of great info. Hey guys get Brandon Allen on there sometime
I love pooping with my inzer belt and slingshot knee sleeves lol
George Kalioras a better poop will come with a pioneer belt
great idea - never tried this before. Hopefully I can pull off some more time under tension on each rep.
'yes sir' ... what a gent
Hala from South Africa!
Grats on 200k !
these podcasts are better and better also YEAH BUDDYYYYYYYY
Another good episode. Ray sounds so much like Mark Henry!
what a good dude
as soon as Ray mentioned Paul Wall I knew I would enjoy this episode.
Thank you so much for this interview. Beautiful guy, Big Ray. Dad extraordinaire.
Memphis rappers got the coolest names. You got kingpin skinny pimp, crunchy black, grandaddy souf, juicy j, project pat, gangsta pat, and now you got moneybag yo.
His taste in music is excellent
What about having specially developed plates that are much bigger, for squat? So that there's less travel to the floor and less chance of the lifter getting 'stuck' under the bar? Like big wagon wheel type things or half way between that size?
The Water Boy accent is a Cajun accent. It's particular to a part of Louisiana; it's not the classic Southern accent.
As someone whose only listened to/watched the podcast since November 2020, thicccccc Mark Bell is strange too look at again
I'live in Tulsa , I've seen Dennis at The Jungle.
God this was so funny 😂😂Big Daddy for the win
2017 Ray Williams to hit over 1069 without wraps!!!!
Kevin Khem over 1100.. current single ply record
Kevin Khem
It was 1,052.
Spartacus 92
2018.
Ogun Balogun
He squatted over 1,052 raw already.
1,052.7 lbs or pounds exactly.
the last dragon has been my favorite movie for for like 20 years ...I was a black belt when I was 15 and this movie is why
Curtis Henry good for you. I see fat little kids that can't even walk properly with black belts. If it's not a black belt in bjj it's meaningless
I agree 100% with Mark's suggestion that they make the older iPhones suck when they release a new version.
1025 in training,,,,iam crying here at home......
Ray Williams is not fat, he is however extraordinarily handsome.
Usually the POWERCAST is over before you know it...... but ya know.
martin tn that's my neck of the woods!!!!!!!
can someone link the video that they were talking about mark henry strength feat something
yo, I fucking loved WWF when I was a kid, but dad was still superman...........Trust me Ray, you're still superman.
Anyone know what his graduate work is in? Awesome interview love the content ST crew
"the thousand five was the easy one" sigh
was ein geiler typ !
What's the backstory on that shade with Brandon Lilly?
Haha love this guy
Ray would be the scariest rapper in the game😂😂😂😂
Yo that one guy's from the documentary "Bigger,Stronger,Faster"
I was wondering why he looked so similar.
What were his two favourite songs?
This guy came in a close first place to be the IWGA Athlete of the Year
I'm paying for that pizza again right now. Will I ever get off the toilet??? Will Vegeta ever surpass Goku??? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball Z!!!!!
Big ol' teddy bear, love big ray ray
Nice, UT Martin Skyhawks. Small world.
Larry Wheels on the Power cast?
it is coming, it was announced on instagram
got the post meet blues :-(
I've been listening to Joe Rogan's PC lately...this is so much more bearable...hahaha.
yes sir :D
Why does Ray always turn his head to the side when he's coming off the chest on bench?
What is he getting his doctorate in?
What for a monster
FUUUUUUUUCK yes
the newer intro has been fire
Im pooping while watching power cast. How fitting.
I think you guys weren't giving those spotters enough credit. they caught a 900+ lbs squat no problem right after that bad Kelly branton moment.
those were different spotters than the ones they were talking about, they were talkin about the ones earlier in the day
Silent Mike what are you staring at the whole time?
Cichlid MadMan not that pic for sure
Hes especially quiet in this one
Mark Henry is a beast, but he was nowhere near an olympic gold medal. Anyways, great episode of the podcast!
like number 1000 :)
You ain't catching 800lbs Mike.
Requesting Alex Viada for the podcast plz
you should bring kelly branton to supertraining
This episode is actually pg-13
16.40.. money lift. I'm claiming that
Awh gotta give the deadlift crown to Pete rubish
Tre Kilinski you mean yury belkin
You mean Yogurt Beltless
funny guy too
not over half of ton, at least not in metric system. Just saying, the squat is more than impressive though.
Filip Kliba
you are absolutely correct, but Jim is referring to the imperial system ton, which is 2000 pounds
He doesn't see the Mark Henry similarity?
So bodybuilding.com?
Bo Jackson is somewhere down in the south. this could have been the guy to get ahold of Bo for you and you didn't even ask him if he knows Bo. I am disappoint.
His rapper name should be money tank
Oh hell yeah Mark read my poop story comment!
Zebra cakes!! #1
mark Henry does not have a olympic gold medal
Tim b
Yea he does and this ain't Mark Henry this is Ray Williams.
Why?
code: powercast is not valid for me. Anyone else?
are you in us?
I am
im not sure than
