Powerlifting fans and regular readers of MUSCLE INSIDER will be happy to hear that our very own columnist big AJ Roberts has broke a world record! AJ shattered the all time 308 pound bodyweight world record with a total of 2,825 pounds! Yes, you read that right, he DOES weigh 308 pounds! His best lifts at the meet were:

  • SQUAT: 1140 pounds!
  • BENCH PRESS: 870 pounds!
  • DEAD LIFT: 815 pounds!

AJ trains at Westside Barbell which is the top powerlifting gym in the U.S. The training methods used at Westside fly in the face of conventional methods used to build power, but more champions have come out of their camp than any other facility in the country. With all his hard training and dedication to his goals, we couldn't be happier for AJ Roberts and his family. To see videos of AJ in action setting these record lifts, click HERE.

On behalf of the crew here at MUSCLE INSIDER and our readers, we want to congratulate AJ Roberts on his victory!
