Now, my longtime friend, AJ Roberts, actually might have a better resume here.
He totaled 2,855 pounds, but did it at probably 30 or 50 or so pounds lower than these other two gentlemen.
I'll let them all figure that out.
But nonetheless, almost 3,000 pounds across three different exercises.
If you want to go through the exercises individually, we have different people with world records there.
So the squat right now, current world record, is from Nathan Baptist at an astounding 1,311 pounds.
Again, friends, you heard that right.
This is a 1,300-pound back squat.
From the bench press, this was actually just recently broken.
Jimmy Kolb did this, and this is unbelievable.
The world record is now 1,350 pounds.
The previous world record, he broke by almost 200 pounds.
I don't know if this is more impressive than the Usain Bolt, but hard to argue when you beat a world record by an additional 200 pounds.
Like simply unbelievable, that strength accomplishment.
Another actually fun thing to note here is I believe fifth or sixth on that list is a gentleman named Bill Gillespie at a total of 1,129 pounds.
He actually also did this pretty recently.
And the fun part about Bill is two things.
One, he's 62 years old.
You heard that right.
62 years old and just, I think last year, bench pressed well over 1,100 pounds.
