Watch This Powerlifter Set A Record With 438kg Lift

An American powerlifter has recorded one of the most impressive world records in weightlifting history.

Competing for Team USA at 2016 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships in Texas, Ray Williams set a world record squat of 438 kgs (965.6lbs).

The manner which he did it in was the most stunning, leading one commentator to say he has "single-handedly obliterated a world record and a weight class".
