According to Open Powerlifting, Bartlett’s new all-time squat world record exceeded the previous record held by Max Shethar by 27.5 kilograms (60.6 pounds). Shethar’s previous 290-kilogram (639.3-pound) all-time world record was scored at the 2019 United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) Drug Tested Washington State Open.
Jack Bartlett’s Powerlifting Career
Bartlett’s young powerlifting career has seen him step on the competitive lifting platform in seven sanctioned events. His stats at the 2021 IPL Drug-Tested World Championships mark his competition-bests for each lift and total. Of the seven contests he’s competed in, he only failed to reach the podium one time — his debut at the 2020 United States Powerlifting (USAPL) Central Oregon Classic, ranking 14th overall.
After that, he ceased to lose, winning all six contests in the Teen 16-17 division and scoring runner-up finishes in the Open division at the 2021 USPA Drug Tested Platform Wars and the 2021 Drug Tested Oregon State Championships.
Bartlett works with Kyle Young, Assistant Head Coach at Kabuki Strength. Although Bartlett did not say when he would step on the competition platform next, per his Instagram caption, we can expect “Big things to come!”
