Although we don’t get to see him compete very often in recent times, it is still clear that Russel Orhii is among the top powerlifters in the world. He’s always committed to his training, which is evident in his continued preparation for his upcoming professional events. Speaking of his upcoming appearance, Russel is clearly pumped up and ready to compete, as he recently achieved a new personal best by squatting 337.5 kilograms (744 pounds) for two reps. Proud of his new achievement, Russel shared the video footage on his Instagram page.

The squat has always been Russel Orhii’s greatest and most favorite event in powerlifting. One of Russel’s biggest strengths is his incredibly strong and functional legs, which enable him to lift weights that are almost 4x his own body weight. So, due to these hard-earned attributes, Russel managed to squat 337.5 kilograms (744 pounds) for two reps in a raw manner. He only utilized a lifting belt and knee sleeves.

Russel Orhii’s first rep with the 337.5 kilograms (744 pounds) looked amazing. He did not display any signs of struggle or waste any excess energy. It was only in the second rep that Russel encountered difficulties, but he passed with a smile, showing confidence in his ability to lift the weight.

“744lbs/337.5kg for 2
I done got me a lil motion..
My next meet is gonna go crazy”

Russel Orhii mentioned that he will compete in the caption of his post, but did not reveal any details.
It is exciting to see him set a goal for some competition, as he is known for breaking records and putting on an impressive performance.

The last time that Russel Orhii competed was in December 2022, meaning that a significant amount of time has passed since. However, that also means that he has had a lot of time to improve, which is evident in his new two-rep squat PR.

Having also focused on bodybuilding during 2022, Russel Orhii has managed to put on some muscle. So, he also jumped up in bodyweight and thus competed in the 90-kilogram weight class at the 2022 USAPL Korea Winter Showdown. However, his current bodyweight is not clear, as Russel’s plans for the future were not revealed.

Overall, Russel Orhii took part in 18 sanctioned competitions during his 8-year-long career. He won 17 of them and was considered as the king of the 83-kilogram weight class. In addition, Russel also set countless National and World records.
