American powerlifter Jesus Olivares delivered a historic performance at the AMP Open Nationals 2026 by lifting an astonishing 417.5 kilograms (920.4 pounds) in the raw deadlift in the +120KG weight class.

The record-breaking lift took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, where Olivares stunned spectators and fellow competitors with his incredible display of strength.

The lift officially set a new American record and also surpassed the standing mark recognized by the International Powerlifting Federation, making it an unofficial IPF world record pending formal ratification.

Olivares, widely regarded as one of the strongest powerlifters in the super heavyweight division, executed the massive lift using raw powerlifting rules, meaning he relied only on basic supportive gear rather than specialized lifting suits.

The crowd erupted as the barbell was successfully locked out, marking one of the most impressive deadlifts ever performed in competition. Judges confirmed the lift after reviewing the attempt, cementing it as a historic moment in American powerlifting.
