Daniel Bell continues to impress in training with some massive lifts.
Daniel Bell has been one of the strongest lifters in the 140+kg category over the course of his career. He continues to show this, both in training and competition. Most recently, Bell showed off his brute strength by successfully taking down a 1,036-pound squat.
Bell shared the lift on Instagram and captioned it with the weight — 470kg (1,036 pounds. He was seen wearing knee wraps and a lifting belt when completing the lift. Bell also added wrist wraps and elbow sleeves. This could have been due to the incredible weight that he had to control during the course of his movements.
While the weight exceeded 1,000 pounds, Bell did not seem to have any trouble keeping incredible form.

Daniel Bell has put together an impressive career as a raw powerlifter. He has set many world records since competing in his first sanctioned competition in 2005. Following this appearance, he did not appear in another until 2014. This is when he really began opening eyes during competitions.
During the 2020 RPS Sarasota Showdown, Bell set many career bests in competition. He completed a 455kg (1,003.1lb) squat followed by a 410kg (903.9lb) deadlift. All together, this event saw Bell total 1,127.5kg (2,485.7lb). His competition-best bench press came during the 2021 WRPF Kern US Open when he lifted 275kg (606.3lb).
Daniel Bell was seen using knee wraps in his recent video on social media. It is not surprising that he has compiled higher totals in the wraps category. During the 2021 Kern Open, Bell took down a 505kg (1,113.3lb) squat. This was an all-time full power world record. He also set another world record with a total of 1,182.5kg (2,607lb) at the 2021 Hybrid Showdown III.
During the Hybrid Showdown III in 2021, Bell became the first man to total over 1,179kg (2,600lb) raw with wraps. This was just one of the competitions where Bell made heavy lifts look routine.
When the time comes for Daniel Bell to take the stage again, it will be must-see action because of what he is capable of accomplishing. By the looks of his most recent squat, Bell could have his eye on taking down another record, whether it be in a specific lift or total.
