About the 52 kg Raw Squat Record
The 52 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 squat record in this class represents the heaviest verified competition squat by an athlete weighing up to 52 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 52 kg mark sits on that curve.
