Jackson Powell is a name everyone in the powerlifting community is going to have to become more familiar with very very quickly. When he was just 16 years old, he was squatting 297kg/655lb triples and hitting 329kg/725lb singles. Now he is just 17 years old, competes in both the -140kg and the 140 kg weight class, and can front squat 306kg/675lbs. Putting up these kinds of numbers at such a young age, it is only a matter of time before he adds his name to the list of athletes able to squat 453.6kg/1,000lb.
