There are not many athletes in the Strongman community who are more famous than Nick Best. Moreover, he is arguably the most impressive man in modern Strongman history, as he has been defying the aging process for years now. Even after more than a decade of pressuring his body with massive weights, Nick still continues to push his limits. So, most recently, he challenged himself with a 771-pound (349.7-kilogram) squat and successfully completed it.
Nick Best made his way to the “Dragon’s Lair Gym” in Las Vegas, which is owned by 7x 212 Mr. Olympia Flex Lewis. He then geared up for the 771-pound (349.7-kilogram) squat by putting on a pair of knee wraps, a lifting belt, and some wrist wraps. The only thing left to do was find some spotters before attempting the lift. Luckily for Nick, the All-Time Squat World Record holder, Joe Sullivan, was present to assist him alongside two other men.
Nick Best slowly dipped down with 771 pounds (349.7 kilograms) on his back, but quickly ascended back up. After re-racking the weight back, Nick excitedly stated:
“That was easy. That was kind of crazy.”

It is nice to see that Nick Best is almost back to his best form after his kidney surgery just a few months ago. He is already putting up humongous lifts in training and setting new goals for the future. So, it is just a matter of time until he enters another powerlifting competition and sets some more World Records.

There are not many athletes in the Strongman community who are more famous than Nick Best. Moreover, he is arguably the most impressive man in modern Strongman history, as he has been defying the aging process for years now. Even after more than a decade of pressuring his body with massive weights, Nick still continues to push his limits. So, most recently, he challenged himself with a 771-pound (349.7-kilogram) squat and successfully completed it.


Nick Best made his way to the “Dragon’s Lair Gym” in Las Vegas, which is owned by 7x 212 Mr. Olympia Flex Lewis. He then geared up for the 771-pound (349.7-kilogram) squat by putting on a pair of knee wraps, a lifting belt, and some wrist wraps. The only thing left to do was find some spotters before attempting the lift. Luckily for Nick, the All-Time Squat World Record holder, Joe Sullivan, was present to assist him alongside two other men.


Nick Best slowly dipped down with 771 pounds (349.7 kilograms) on his back, but quickly ascended back up. After re-racking the weight back, Nick excitedly stated:


“That was easy. That was kind of crazy.”
