The All-Time World Record list has altered significantly during the past week or so since many of the records were broken in the 2023 IPF Worlds. So, with one of the greatest competitions of the season taking place, Zac Meyers historic performance almost passed unnoticed. Zac competed at the 2023 WRPF King of the Cave 3, which took place on June 17th in Maryland. He partook in the 140-kilogram weight class and set a brand new 1,077.5-kilogram (2,375.5-pound) Raw Total All-Time World Record.

The previous U140KG All-Time World Record in the raw Total event was held by the iconic Larry Wheels. Known as one of the strongest people alive, Larry was the face of powerlifting at one point due to his numerous World Records. This specific one was set at the 2020 XPC Arnold where Larry landed a Total of 1,075 kilograms (2,370 pounds).

Zac Meyers Full Performance

Squat

In order to set a World Record Total, Zac Meyers had to open his performance extremely well, and he did just that. With all three of his squats moving smooth like butter, Zac’s heaviest lift in this event came out to 405 kilograms (892.9 pounds).

  • 370 kilograms (815.7 pounds)
  • 390 kilograms (859.8 pounds)
  • 405 kilograms (892.9 pounds) — Competition PR

“My opener on squats was 815 then I jumped to 859 finally to the 892. Opened light to see how squats was feeling and they flew.

I feel like I had another 10-15 lbs. just gotta save it for next time”

Bench Press

The bench press is Zac Meyers’ prowess. So, it is no surprise that he once again performed well. However, he was unable to achieve perfection, having failed his third attempt. Thus, his heaviest bench came out to 285 kilograms (628.3 pounds).

  • 272.5 kilograms (600.8 pounds)
  • 285 kilograms (628.3 pounds) — Competition PR
  • Unsuccessful — 293 kilograms (646 pounds)

“Bench I hit 628 I went up to 645.9 for the ATWR full power bench but as soon as I got it in my hands my upper chest tightened up and I just racked it.”

Deadlift

Having known exactly what he needed to lift in order to set a new All-Time Total World Record, Zac Meyers warmed up on the first attempt and shot straight for the record on his second one. So, after successfully deadlifting 387.5 kilograms (854.2 pounds) for a new Total record, Zac did not even bother to try his final attempt.

  • 370 kilograms (815.7 pounds)
  • 387.5 kilograms (854.2 pounds) — Competition PR
  • Did not attempt

“Deadlift I knew I needed 854 so I changed my opener to 815 hit it and went straight to 854 and got it.”

Total — 1,077.5 kilograms (2,375.5 pounds) — Raw All-Time World Record
