Dwayne Coleman is definitely on course to become one of the best powerlifters in the world, as the 18-year-old managed to land a 900-pound (408.2-kilogram) Equipped Squat in his recent outing. The humongous lift took place at the 2024 LHSPLA Louisiana State Championships, which occurred on March 20 – 23, in Lafayette, LA. Unsurprisingly, Coleman’s squat marked a new State Record.
Dwayne Coleman seemingly wore a single-ply suit during his 900-pound (408.2-kilogram) squat, alongside a pair of knee wraps. However, none of that takes away from the fact that he managed to squat as much weight at such a young age.
Moreover, by the looks of his lift, Dwayne Coleman has not yet found his one-rep-max, as it seemed that he was capable of adding even more weight to the bar. He had no trouble unracking or walking out with 900 pounds (408.2 kilograms), but also managed to maintain a perfect technique throughout his speedy squat.
