Powerlifter Hunter Henderson Smashes 501-lb (227.2-kg) Raw Conventional Deadlift PR
Hunter Henderson is a highly inspiring and impressive personality in the fitness community, who has achieved great success in both powerlifting and bodybuilding. Despite having accomplished more than what most athletes can only dream of, Hunter Henderson still strives for more and seeks new challenges to achieve a sense of satisfaction. Recently, she managed to achieve just that by setting a new personal record in the conventional deadlift, crushing an incredible weight of 501 pounds (227.2 kilograms). This accomplishment has left her and her fans excited and motivated for what’s next to come.
Even Hunter Henderson has stated that the deadlift is her least proficient lift on a few occasions, but that only means that there is room for improvement. So, she is trying to switch things up and that includes transitioning from a sumo to a conventional stance. In addition, she has now deadlifted over 500 pounds (226.8 kilograms) with a conventional stance for the first time ever. So, Hunter was more than thrilled to share it on Instagram.
“My first time EVER pulling 500 conventional. This is so fucking cool for me? I tried a belt this week and just wore it pretty loose. It felt comfy!
It has been a long fucking time since a deadlift has excited me. Tonight was cool.”
Hunter Henderson’s new personal record (PR) of 501 pounds (227.2 kilograms) for a conventional deadlift was achieved without any assistance from supportive gear or equipment, making it a raw lift. She did, however, wear a lifting belt and used chalk to improve her grip. To reduce the range of motion and improve her balance, she also lifted without shoes. Holding onto the barbell during the lift can also be a challenge, but Hunter effectively utilized a mixed grip to complete the lift.

Hunter Henderson seems to be in her offseason currently, which might be why she is experimenting with the conventional stance on the deadlifts. She last competed at the 2023 WRPF Ghost Clash 2 two months ago. Hunter walked off with some competition PRs and a new U82.5KG All-Time Raw World Record Squat of 267.5 kilograms (589.7 pounds).
Hunter Henderson has been competing professionally in powerlifting since 2018. In these five years, she has racked up nine sanctioned performances and, very impressively, managed to win all of them. Alongside that, Hunter also scored multiple World Records.

Crossing over to a conventional stance from sumo is definitely very difficult, but it certainly shows just how talented and strong Hunter Henderson is. It is also not clear if she will continue training in this way or if her goal was purely to set this 501-pound (227.2-kilogram) PR. Either way, Hunter will continue displaying her strength and impress the powerlifting fans.

Powerlifter Jamal Browner Crushes 435-kg (959-lb) Raw Conventional Deadlift PR In Training
Jamal Browner is a household name in the powerlifting community, mainly because of his mind-blowing deadlift abilities. With his mastery of the sumo stance, Jamal Browner is able to lift weights that are unfathomable to most people. However, many people also claim that sumo deadlifts are easier than conventional. So, these people also doubted Jamal’s strength. However, Jamal has decided to prove them wrong and go for a one-rep max conventional deadlift. This conventional deadlift came out to 435 kilograms (959 pounds), which is a new PR for Jamal.
Jamal Browner proudly shared his newest achievement on Instagram, silencing all the haters which can often be found in the comment section. To make it even more impressive, Jamal completed the lift in a raw manner, using only a lifting belt. The majority of people who are capable of lifting this much weight are unable to do it without the help of lifting straps. However, Jamal did not need them, as his grip strength is off the charts. This comes as a result of perfecting the hook grip through many years of powerlifting.
“Small Pr ?? but happy with how it moved!”

Apart from silencing the naysayers, Jamal Browner also has some other motivations to improve his conventional deadlift. He has been invited and accepted the invite for the 2023 Giants Live Deadlift World Championships. The competition belongs to a Strongman organization and will take place on September 2nd at the Cardiff International Arena, in Wales. It will feature the greatest deadlifters from the Strongman community, as well as Jamal Browner, who is much smaller and lighter compared to the other competitors.
The goal at the 2023 Giants Live Deadlift World Championships is to break the All-Time World Record, currently in possession of Hafthor Bjornsson. The 2018 WSM champion locked out 501 kilograms (1,104.5 pounds) in 2020. So, If Jamal is successful in doing so, he will receive a lucrative cash prize.
Jamal Browner is not neglecting his powerlifting career, but instead plans on achieving multiple goals at the same time. This year, he has not competed, but he may make an appearance in the near future. Overall, during his seven years as a professional powerlifter, Jamal took part in 16 sanctioned events, winning 11 of them.

Jamal Browner will not be able to perform deadlifts with a sumo stance at the 2023 Giants Live Deadlift World Championships. However, he will have permission to use lifting straps and a deadlift suit, but that will be optional. It is not clear what his choice will be, but it is clear that when it comes to raw deadlifts, he is one of the best in the world.
