"Ray Williams finally did it! The first man in recorded history to squat 1000 pounds without a squat suit or knee wraps! The first man to attempt a grand was Joe White who on two separate occasions came up with the half ton but both times only to 1 white light. This happened in the late 70's and then Dave Waddington became the first to squat a grand albeit in an early squat suit and wraps... Fast forward several decades later and in 2011 Rob Wilkerson became the first man to do it without a squat suit. Now another 5 years and Boom big Ray Williams does it with neither suit or wraps!!!! This is the only drug tested grand in history and very well may be the greatest individual lift of all time considering everything."

Williams also broke Brad Gillingham's raw deadlift record done in a three lift meet with a 382 kg. (843#) effort on his final lift of the day in which he went 9/9 with a raw record total. He is the best drug tested raw lifter in PL history.Comment

"In a contest filled with amazement, one man not to be overshadowed was Dennis Cornelius! Dennis competed in the 120+ class and took second to the king of the supers, 392 pound Ray Williams! Dennis weighed in at 274 which is under the universally recognized 275 weight class. At that weight, Dennis broke the all time world record of 854 held by none other than Stan Efferding! Stan set that record 5 years ago and had taken all comers! Then there was the drug tested record of 850 held by a man called the Beetle! Greg "Beetle" Lowe was a prisoner who was allowed to lift outside the walls a few times before they took that privilege away. He was a beast of man and that record has stood for 15 yrs! Undaunted by the fact that Dennis was lifting against legends in his mind and a legend in the making named Ray Williams, he channeled his energies to break that 275 all time record! He did just that with a controlled 865 pound effort!"

"For two weeks in a row we’ve been fortunate enough to see 43 year old elite powerlifter Jennifer Thompson bench press big numbers. Last week, we saw Thompson bench a personal best of 325 lbs at Liberty University. This weekend, we got to witness her set a new -63kg IPF World Record. Thompson set her new IPF World Record with a 317.5 lb bench. This new record is 2.3 times her body weight, which is an insane pound for pound feat with any form of press."
