Jesus Olivares is on a mission to set a new mark this year.
Jesus Olivares is quickly making a name for himself in powerlifting and it is no secret why when looking at his training on social media. Recently, Olivares shared a video of deadlifting 411kg, which is one kilogram over the current IPF world record. Let’s just say that it did not look like much of a struggle for the powerlifter.
In his latest video, Olivares stepped up to a loaded bar with 411kg and made the weight look easy. He was able to fire up and hold it for a few seconds.
“411kilo•grams. 1kilo over the IPF wr.”

Of course, this is not the first time that Olivares has taken on massive deadlifts. He currently holds the official record of 410kg and has gone over it on many occasions.
In December, Olivares showed off a massive lift 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.
During the 2023 Sheffield, Olivares also set a new world record total of 1,152.5kg (2,541lbs). This was a record that has been held since 2017. Ray Williams previously held it at 1,105kg (2,436lbs).
Jesus Olivares is preparing to set some new marks during his next appearance. The 2024 Sheffield competition is scheduled for Feb. 10, 2024 in Sheffield, UK. Olivares has a chance to defend his title successfully.
