Jonathan Cayco Pulled a 707 lb Deadlift for Three Reps Setting a New Personal Record

Powerlifter Jonathan Cayco’s failed third deadlift attempt at the 2022 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships really ignited a fire inside of him as he works constantly to keep that from happening again. In the past month, Jonathan Cayco has made a number of new deadlift rep records, which is really impressive, but that’s nowhere near the end of his progress.

Jonathan Cayco has now earned a brand new three-rep personal record by deadlifting 707 pounds, which is really great to see. Jonathan Cayco showed off his new achievements on his Instagram profile.

Jonathan Cayco was only equipped with a lifting belt to perform the three-rep set. Hence, his new personal record is considered raw due to powerlifting regulations. Jonathan Cayco planted his feet in a conventional stance, took a massive breath, and grabbed the barbell firmly with a mixed grip before performing all three reps of 707 pounds (321 kilograms).

Most importantly, Jonathan Cayco put a full stop after completing each rep instead of taking the easier or simple route and just touching the floor with the weight plates.
