About the 125 kg Raw Deadlift Record

The 125 kg weight class is one of the standard men's bodyweight categories contested across major powerlifting federations including the IPF, USAPL, USPA, and WRPF. The raw deadlift record in this class represents the heaviest verified competition deadlift by an athlete weighing up to 125 kg.

Weight-class records reward relative strength rather than absolute load: a lifter in a lighter class who matches a heavier class's number is, pound for pound, the stronger athlete. Comparing the record across every class - as the table above does - shows exactly where the 125 kg mark sits on that curve. View the full all-time raw deadlift rankings for the top 20 lifters and the historical record progression.
