Haack could also be poised for a monumental meet.
Final up to date on April seventh, 2025
A number of-time world report holder John Haack has set one other coaching PR. Haack, who’s making ready for the 2025 ABS Conflict of Titans III occasion in Dublin, Eire, on Saturday, April 19, 2025, has already deadlifted 395 kilograms and benched 227.5 kilograms throughout his prep. He has set a self-described private report on the squat, with a large raise of 367.5 kilograms (810.2 kilos).
Haack wore knee sleeves and wrist wraps for the raise. After he put on his lifting belt, he unracked the load, took two steps to set himself, and descended into the outlet. As soon as he reached the underside, he grinded his technique to a standing place earlier than racking the barbell. He had two spotters to make sure security.
In response to Open Powerlifting, Haack’s greatest raw squat within the competitors was 365 kilograms (804.7 kilos), scored on the 2024 Powerlifting United (PLU) Energy Surge Professional meet on Sept. 28, 2024, within the 90KG class — the present world report.
It moved fairly good total, I’m proud of it.
Haack adopted his squats with bench press work, working to a high weight of 237.5 kilograms. He then did extra pressing with chains earlier than concluding the session.
Haack was near 4 weeks out from his meet in Dublin, the place he hopes to earn the title of “World’s Strongest Powerlifter.” He’ll face a global all-star lineup of powerlifters in that occasion.
