Jamal Browner is widely considered as one of the best powerlifters in the world, and is most known for his extremely heavy deadlifts. Jamal is competing in the 110 kg category, and judging by the lifts he does in training, Jamal could put up a very good performance at the Hybrid Showdown 4, which is scheduled to happen on January 15-16, 2022.
In the last few days, Jamal has published some huge deadlifts and squats. In the most recent deadlift video, we can see Jamal doing two repetitions of a 390 kg (859.8 lbs) paused deadlift, followed by 5 repetitions of a 380 kg (837.7 lbs) deadlift. Jamal used straps and a lifting belt, accompanied by lifting with a sumo stance.

The only lift we are not up-to-date with is bench press, as Jamal has not published anything bench press related in the last few weeks.

Jamal Browner’s Competition Records
Jamal has out lifted some of these in the gym, but these are the official (done in competition) personal records.
- Squat: 365 kg (804.5 lbs)
- Bench Press: 225 kg (496 lbs)
- Deadlift: 440.5 kg (903.8 lbs)

Jamal’s squats and deadlifts in training look very good, and his bench press could surprise us. If his preparation turns out right, Jamal could easily put up a few personal records.
