The young prodigy, Morgan Nicholls, got recognized as one of the strongest teenagers in the world during the past years, and he continues to cement his status at 16-years-old. Morgan is extremely versatile which allows him to train American Football and push the limits in the gym. So, most recently, he scored a brand new personal record (PR) in the bench press event having lifted 525 pounds (238.1 kilograms). Morgan accomplished this astonishing feat during a training session.

The video of Morgan Nicholls’ 525-pound (238.1-kilogram) was shared by his father, the legendary Chad Nicholls. Chad is one of the greatest bodybuilding coaches in history, having worked with Ronnie Coleman, Big Ramy, William Bonac, and other elite athletes as well. He was also largely impressed by his son’s bench press which he performed with just a pair of wrist wraps.

“kid is just a working machine and it is very impressive to see him balance training, and all of his football work together – pushing speed, fast twitch, and power all together to do that you have to be very dedicated. – Very proud of him.” wrote Chad.

Morgan Nicholls suffered an ACL tear near the end of last year and underwent surgery on January 6th. Luckily, his recovery was very successful, so he is now able to chase more PRs in the gym and other types of success in American Football.

Apart from his new 525-pound (238.1-kilogram) bench press PR, Morgan Nicholls has done impressive numbers in other events as well. According to him, his heaviest squat to date is 545 pounds (247.2 kilograms), while his deadlift PR is 635 pounds (288 kilograms).

Despite his impressive abilities in lifting heavy weights, Morgan Nicholls does not seem interested in competing in powerlifting. He has, however, taken part in one competition to test the waters and was very successful. He competed in the 2020 SPF GP Summer Smash, where he was only 13-years-old. Despite the young age, Morgan managed to lock out some surreal numbers.

  • Squat (wraps): 204.1 kilograms (450 pounds)
  • Bench Press (Raw): 147.4 kilograms (325 pounds)
  • Deadlift (Raw): 206.3 kilograms (455 pounds)
  • Total (Raw W/Wraps): 557.9 kilograms (1,230 pounds)

Powerlifting features a 16-17 Years Old age division and the current All-Time World Record for the bench press stands at 501.5 pounds (227.5 kilograms. So, if Morgan Nicholls did cross over to powerlifting once more, it looks like he would set a new World Record with ease. This just proves how impressive his 525-pound (238.1-kilogram) bench PR actually is. In addition, there is no doubt that Morgan will add a few more pounds to the barbell in the near future.
