Carl Yngvar Christensen just set a brand new ply world record in squats and total at the International Powerlifting Federation where he tipped the scales at 370lbs bodyweight. He also set a new European record for the deadlift and made it all look easy. What have you done this week? Here are his numbers…
- The squat was 1080lbs (490kg), edging out the previous record of 485kg.
- Carl’s bench was 771.6lbs(350kg)
- Finally, his deadlift was 860lbs (390kg)
- For a total of 2711.7lbs (1230kg), handily passing the previous world record of 2645.55lbs (1200kg.)
Believe it or not, before Carl started breaking world records, he was placing in junior competitions as one of Norway’s most promising up-and-coming snowboarders. Safe to say he made the right decision by pivoting to powerlifting.
