Recently, Julius Maddox got the new raw bench press record with an insane 739.6lbs. Last year, the raw squat record was set with 525kgs (1157lbs). This year, Olympic weightlifter Lasha Talakhadze was filmed Clean and Jerking 267kgs (588.6lbs).
Just how high do you see these records getting? And how quickly do you see them getting higher?
I've always wanted to see a 600lbs Clean and Jerk, and definitely believe it's possible in the near future. But a 300kg/660lbs C&J... that may take a century.
I'm also waiting for the day we get 1000lbs raw bench press and 1500lbs raw squat. Don't know if we'll ever get their without gene editing, though.
