Jesus Olivares beat his own record during a recent training session.
Jesus Olivares only competed twice during the 2023 calendar year but his performances were enough to gain the attention of many. Not only are his performances impressive but his training sessions have caught many eyes. During a recent Instagram post, Olivares showed off an insane 420kg (926lb) raw deadlift.
On Friday, Jesus Olivares showed off the extreme deadlift, lifting 10kg heavier than his current world record of 410kg (904lbs). Olivares reached this mark during the 2023 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships in March. This was the heaviest deadlift ever at an IPF International contest. It was also his first victory of the year during the inaugural event.
Olivares also impressed during the 2023 IPF Classic World Championships in Malta. This marked his third consecutive world championship. Olivares has established himself as one of the elite competitors in the world, both during competition and in training.
