Andrew Hause has not made too many official appearances during his professional powerlifting career. However, he has quickly made a name for himself since the majority of his performances are record breaking. This was the case once again as Andrew took the stage on November 11th after not competing for over a year. His long-awaited appearance came at the 2023 USPC The Shack Showdown. Andrew took part in the raw 140-kilogram weight class, where he set new Squat and Total All-Time World Records.
Andrew Hause opened up with a humongous 409-kilogram (901.7-pound) squat. He followed it up with a 25-kilogram (55.1-pound) weight jump for his second attempt, which was already over the record. So, Andrew decided to demolish the U140KG All-Time World Record on his third attempt with a 440-kilogram (970-pound) lift.
Andrew Hause only put on a lifting belt and knee sleeves for his 440-kilogram (970-pound) record-breaking attempt, both of which were allowed in the raw division. He stepped under the barbell with blood running down his forehead, where he took a few deep breaths to brace properly as well. It was interesting to see how the competition featured a monolift, a specialized rack that retracts as soon as the barbell is lifted. So, Andrew did not need to take any steps backward, which helped him preserve some energy. So, Andrew immediately began lowering down with the weight and propelled back up with the same speed.
Shane Haller held the previous U140KG All-Time Raw Squat World Record of 420 kilograms (925.9 pounds). He set it at the 2022 WRPF Ghost Clash, but it has now been claimed by Andrew Hause.
