Powerlifter Nabil Lahlou (67.5KG) Hits 322.5-kg (711-lb) Raw Deadlift All-Time World Record At 2022 WRPF Freaks Come Out At Night

The 2022 WRPF Freaks Come Out At Night powerlifting competition took place on November 5th, 2022, in Baltimore, MD, and we got to see a few World Records fall. One of the athletes who walked away with a new achievement was a French representative, Nabil Lahlou. Despite setting the All-Time Raw Deadlift World Record in the 67.5-kilogram weight class less than one month ago, Nabil now further improved by an additional 4.5 kilograms (10 pounds). This means that the new deadlift mark now stands at 322.5 kilograms (711 pounds).

Finishing with a DOTS score of 530.457, Nabil Lahlou placed third across all weight classes, but won the 67.5-kilogram weight class. The only athletes to beat him in the overall rankings were Phillip Herndon (110KG) and Antonio Carter (100KG). Regardless, Nabil was delighted to take home a brilliant World Record. He did so by outperforming the 318-kilogram (701-pound) deadlift which he scored at the 2022 USPA Drug Tested The Good Guys UN Invitational.

Nabil Lahlou landed the 322-kilogram (711-pound) World Record by utilizing a sumo stance and a hook grip. Furthermore, Nabil was only allowed to use a lifting belt as he competed in the raw division.

Apart from Nabil Lahlou, Phillip Herndon also landed a very impressive World Record at the same competition.

Thus outperforming the previous record of Kevin Oak who squatted 390 kilograms (859.8 pounds) at the 2020 WRPF Hybrid Showdown II.
