Cornbread-and-buttermilk powerlifter sets U.S. squat mark of 860 pounds

[mugzy]

MOBILE, Alabama - Ray Williams said he got his strength from "cornbread and buttermilk." Williams' results at the Alabama State Powerlifting Championship on Saturday indicate they are a potent combination. Williams was among the lifters who combined to break seven U.S. records and 56 state marks at the USA Powerlifting-sanctioned meet on Saturday at Fort Whiting Auditorium.

905lbs (foot moved before rack command)

He made that look easy. Damn rack command.

 

[RageBlanket]

Wow. Just...wow. His speed with 905 was incredible.

 

[PillarofBalance]

that bar looks like a soggy toothpick on his back.

Singlet only and not knee wraps. Also, he walked that sucker out. beast!

 

[SAD]

That was incredible. It's a shame to waste a perfectly good lift because of a lack of focus and discipline. This inspires me to take my measly 600# squat to a new level. Or quit. I haven't decided just yet.

Holy shit those are some monster quads working there. I hate the whole walking it out deal it's so damn dangerous and unnecessary to begin with. Those were bother smooth as butter that guy smashed the shit out of 905 damn!!!

A gifted lifter for certain. If I hit that mark I'd forget the rack command too! Be too excited to listen after blowing that weight up like he did! Of course..I won't ever have to worry about that heavy of a squat. Nice form and power!

 

[SFGiants]

Very aggressive the unrack walkout was very aggressive.

 

[OldPLer]

wow, just a lack of focus on before the signal to rack it. he has much more in the tank

 

[RedNeck]

Beast mode!!!

 

[BrotherIron]

That was just insane.
