Andrew Hause has risen to powerlifting esteem largely due to his squat strength. A recent deadlift feat could point to a future where he’s similarly famous for the staggering amounts of weight he can pull.

On July 12, 2022, over Instagram, Hause — who competes within the 140-kilogram division — accomplished a 420-kilogram (926-pound) raw deadlift during a training session. The figure is a private record (PR) for Hause and is 50 kilos greater than his competition best of 397.3 kilograms (876 kilos) from the 2021 Revolution Powerlifting Syndicate (RPS) The Showcase Super Classic. Notably, Hause accomplished that top competition deadlift raw with wraps.

Hause captured this raw PR from a standard stance while using a mixed grip — where the athlete positions one hand in an underhand position and the opposite in an overhead position.

Within the caption of his Instagram post, Hause references the upcoming 2022 World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) American Pro as his next sanctioned competition. That contest will happen at The Salisbury Center in Manassas, VA, from July 29-30, 2022.

Hause’s Recent Path

Hause showing off his deadlift prowess comes on the heels of a recent noteworthy squat achievement.

In early July 2022, the powerlifter accomplished a 467.8-kilogram (1031.4-pound) squat with wraps PR. He managed to do that while losing roughly 15 kilos just a few weeks before the successful attempt. Despite the health obstacle, the squat mark likely shouldn’t have been too surprising given Hause’s history. With a squat of 456.3 kilograms (1,006 kilos) from the 2021 RPS The Showcase Super Classic, he’s the current all-time squat Junior World Record (Raw With Wraps) holder.

An approximate week after he squatted 25 kilos greater than that record in training, it seems the athlete is well on his way back to full capability, as this recent deadlift PR demonstrates.

Hause’s massive deadlift drew the eye of several distinguished powerlifting figures on Instagram, including Larry Wheels, Phillip Herndon, and Eric Lilliebridge. Each of those athletes shortly congratulated Hause within the comments.

The Road Ahead

Hause has made the following imminent goal on his ledger clear. Per the caption of his Instagram, the powerlifter intends to surpass his best-ever competition total of 1,105.8 kilograms (2,438 kilos) from the 2021 RPS The Showcase Super Classic on the 2022 American Pro.

Notably, Hause needs so as to add only 20.1 kilograms (44.3 kilos) to his total to set a recent all-time raw with wraps World Record within the 140-kilogram division. Lilliebridge holds the present record with a complete of 1,115 kilograms (2,458.1 kilos) from the 2016 United Powerlifting Association (UPA) Iron Battle on the Mississippi.

On the time of this writing, it’s unclear whether Hause will compete raw or with wraps at his upcoming contest. Nonetheless, in accordance with Open Powerlifting, the athlete has only competed raw once in six profession contests. That said, if Hause can exceed each his previous best deadlifts and squat figures in training in some fashion — it seems likely he’ll reach his lofty ambitions.

The 2022 WRPF American Pro will happen on July 29-30, 2022, in Manassas, VA.
