Refusing to back down, Lewis returned to the platform for his second attempt with total focus, comfortably sinking and completing a 460-kilogram (1,014.1-pound) squat to get on the board.<\/p>\n<p>For his final squat, Deevonte Lewis loaded a massive 480-kilogram (1,058.2-pound) onto the bar. He unracked the weight cleanly, hit depth, and drove through the sticking point to complete the lift. Many noted that he seemed rather comfortable with nearly half a ton on his back, showing that he might have more in the tank for when he makes his international debut.<\/p>\n<p><em>*<a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/jesus-olivares-squat-2024-ipf-sheffield-powerlifting-championships\/\">Jesus Olivares holds the official +120KG Raw Squat IPF World Record of 478-kg (1,053.8-lb)<\/a>, which he set at the 2024 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"fv-inline-newsletter-2\" class=\"fv-newsletter\" style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-radius:8px;padding:30px 35px;margin:30px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.06);\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 15px;font-size:1.5em;font-weight:700;color:#222;\">Get Fitter, <em>Faster<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:1em;color:#444;line-height:1.6;\">Level Up Your Fitness: Join our \ud83d\udcaa strong community in Fitness Volt Newsletter.
