Olivares is well past the 1,000-pound obstacle, and also he remains to climb up.
Jesus Olivares’s Instagram username is “mega.gojira”– an use words of the Japanese term for “Godzilla,” the imaginary nuclear reptilian beast that brings just damage in its wake. Considering what Olivares accomplishes in the health club and also on approved training systems, he absolutely selected a suitable individual label responding to his unbelievable stamina. His newest leg-power accomplishment once more paints the photo of a powerlifter deserving of the title, “King of the Monsters.”
On Feb. 20, 2023, Olivares published an Instagram video clip of himself rounding off a 465-kilogram (1,025.1-pound) raw back squat throughout a training session. The lift is an individual document (PUBLIC RELATIONS) for the common 120-kilogram-plus powerlifter. Olivares put on wrist covers, a training belt, and also knee sleeves to assist him acquire a brand-new individual high-water mark. He likewise had no much less than 6 watchmans bordering bench throughout the lift for security.
While it is his individual ideal, in competitors or in training, this isn’t the very first time Olivares has actually overshadowed the 1,000-pound raw squat obstacle.
The professional athlete initially accomplished this notable landmark in mid-September 2022 when he finished a raw squat of 455 kilos (1,003 extra pounds). This adhered to Olivares crouching 450 kilos (992 extra pounds) raw throughout a first-place efficiency in the 120-plus-kilogram weight course at the 2022 AMP Timeless Open Nationals last springtime.
Olivares’s newest squat public relations is in addition significant for 3 primary factors.
For one, it comes as component of his prep work for the 2023 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) Sheffield Powerlifting Championships. He will certainly not be the only name-recognition professional athlete taking part in the competition.

Powerlifting Arnold SBD Pro American.
Additionally, needs to Olivares reproduce this squat at the Sheffield Championships, he will certainly connect Craig Foster for the third-heaviest raw squat of perpetuity. Just fellow 120-kilogram-plus rivals Williams and also Jezza Uepa (that crouched 470 kilograms/1,036.1 extra pounds at the 2017 Powerlifting America Brisbane Open) have actually ever before raised a lot more.
While Olivares is still 44.2 kilos far from the document, including 10 kilos (22.1 extra pounds) to his leading mark in approximately half a year could be an indicator he’s well on his means to getting to a solemn location.
It appears Olivares, that is still in his mid-20s, is currently transforming himself right into a family name. Going up in the squat document publications, and also possibly also ultimately placing his name on the top, would certainly be fairly the means to reveal his existence as an authentic super star.
