Muscle Insider

1 year ago

The “French Phenom”, Nabil Lahlou, has conquered the powerlifting scene with his massive deadlift, as he has proved to be one of the greatest pound-for-pound deadlifters in the world. His record-breaking abilities earned him this status, and he has now clinched his place with yet another. The Frenchman took part in the 2023 WRPF Drug Tested Give Me Liberty or Give Me Chaos, on July 8th and put up the heaviest deadlift of his career. It came out to 342.5 kilograms (755 pounds) and marked a new Drug-Tested All-Time Raw Deadlift World Record in the 75-kilogram weight class.

Nabil Lahlou’s deadlifts at the aforementioned competition did not start off well, since he was unsuccessful in his first and lightest attempt of 310 kilograms (683.4 pounds). However, he quickly got focused and crushed his second attempt of 325 kilograms (716.5 pounds). So, Nabil Lahlou then got pumped up and loaded 342.5 kilograms (755 pounds) on the bar, crushing yet another lift and setting a new World Record.

Nabil Lahlou completed the lift with a sumo stance and a hook grip, while only using a lifting belt as well. Seeing how he broke the Drug-Tested ATWR, it is clear that Nabil was tested for PEDs and came out clean.

Taylor Atwood held the old Drug-Tested Raw Deadlift ATWR of 340.5 kilograms (750.6 pounds), which he set at the 2021 USAPL Raw Nationals.

Nabil Lahlou’s Full Performance

Nabil Lahlou weighed in at 74.5 kilograms (164.2 pounds) for his appearance at the 2023 WRPF Drug Tested ‘Give Me Liberty or Give Me Chaos’ competition. He then went on to successfully complete eight out of his nine attempts, only missing one deadlift. In addition, Nabil set new competition PRs in all events.

Nabil Lahlou’s appearance came as a surprise since he did not discuss plans to compete on social media. Hence, he was under no pressure to do well, but this calmness helped him lift his heaviest competition deadlift ever..
