Kirill Sarychev
Kirill Sarychev holds the current world record for the heaviest raw squat ever performed in competition, reflecting the continued advancement of powerlifting's absolute strength standards in the modern era of the sport's competitive record-keeping. His combination of exceptional size and technical squatting form let Sarychev push the sport's absolute strength records well beyond what previous generations of powerlifters had achieved, reflecting broader advances in training methodology, nutrition science, and competitive equipment across the modern era. Sarychev's continued competitive career representing Russia at major international powerlifting championships established him as one of the dominant heavyweight competitors of his generation, particularly within raw powerlifting divisions that restrict the supportive equipment some other divisions allow. His record-setting raw squat has made Sarychev one of the most statistically significant figures in modern powerlifting's continued pursuit of absolute strength records, representing the current benchmark against which subsequent heavyweight squatters are measured.
VS
Ed Coan
Ed Coan is widely regarded as the greatest powerlifter in the sport's history, having set more than 70 world records across his career and remaining the only lifter to hold world records in the squat, bench press, and deadlift simultaneously across multiple different weight classes. His pound-for-pound total, the combined weight lifted across all three competitive lifts relative to his own body weight, remains the statistical benchmark against which subsequent powerlifters across every weight class are measured, reflecting an unusual combination of relative and absolute strength. Coan's sustained dominance across more than two decades of competition, continuing to set world records well into his forties, established a level of career longevity in a sport that places extreme physical demands on the body that few competitors have matched. His combination of record-setting absolute strength and his unmatched pound-for-pound relative strength across an unusually long competitive career has made Coan the powerlifter most universally cited as the greatest in the sport's history.
