Raw powerlifting world records
Raw means strength without multi-ply suits or wraps — belt and knee sleeves only. This is where Jesus Olivares built the heaviest total in history at 1,153.5 kg (2025), Vladislav Alhazov squatted an all-time 525 kg (2018), and Danny Grigsby pulled 487.5 kg without straps (2022). The purest measure of human strength across squat, bench and deadlift, for both men and women.
