Although we don’t get to see him compete very often in recent times, it is still clear that Russel Orhii is among the top powerlifters in the world. He’s always committed to his training, which is evident in his continued preparation for his upcoming professional events. Speaking of his upcoming appearance, Russel is clearly pumped up and ready to compete, as he recently achieved a new personal best by squatting 337.5 kilograms (744 pounds) for two reps. Proud of his new achievement, Russel shared the video footage on his Instagram page.
The squat has always been Russel Orhii’s greatest and most favorite event in powerlifting. One of Russel’s biggest strengths is his incredibly strong and functional legs, which enable him to lift weights that are almost 4x his own body weight. So, due to these hard-earned attributes, Russel managed to squat 337.5 kilograms (744 pounds) for two reps in a raw manner. He only utilized a lifting belt and knee sleeves.
Russel Orhii’s first rep with the 337.5 kilograms (744 pounds) looked amazing. He did not display any signs of struggle or waste any excess energy. It was only in the second rep that Russel encountered difficulties, but he passed with a smile, showing confidence in his ability to lift the weight.
