Senumong’s pulling power speaks for itself.
On Mar. 9, 2023, the King of the Lifts Instagram page reposted one in every of powerlifter Kasemsand Senumong’s recent raw deadlift build-up sessions. The clip features Senumong pulling 70, 120, 170, 220, 260, 290, 310, and 320 kilograms (a spread of 154.3 to 705 kilos) from a sumo stance, with support from a lifting belt, during a staggering training session.
In accordance with Open Powerlifting, the last deadlift within the clip — 320 kilograms (705 kilos) — is 19.7 kilograms (43.6 kilos) greater than Senumong’s all-time raw competition best. That competition pull can be the all-time raw World Record for the 66-kilogram division under the International Powerlifting Federation’s (IPF) jurisdiction. The athlete achieved that mark, together with the raw total World Record (710.5 kilograms/1,566.4 kilos), in the course of the 2022 Asian Powerlifting Federation (AsianPF) Championships.

Senumong, sometimes known as Sensei Opor, posted the unique video clip as a part of a training montage on his own Instagram page on January 13, 2023, however it was recently reposted on his gym’s page. The recent repost brought the feat of strength to the eye of King of the Lifts, which often features powerlifting PRs from lifters around the net.
A dominant force within the Asian continental powerlifting scene for several years, Senumong is each the reigning 66KG Thailand National Champion and the Asian Powerlifting Federation (AsianPR) continental Champion. Based on his deadlift polish, it looks just like the young man in his late 20s is able to add one other title to his resume.
Here’s an summary of Senumong’s all-time raw competition bests:
Kasemsand Senumong (66KG) | All-Time Raw Competition Bests
- Squat — 255.4 kilograms (563.2 kilos)
- Bench Press — 155 kilograms (341.7 kilos)
- Deadlift — 300 kilograms (661.4 kilos) | IPF World Record
- Total — 710.5 kilograms (1,566.3 kilos) | IPF World Record
After coming in seventh place within the 66-kilogram division during his 2022 IPF World Championships debut, Senumong likely isn’t done. The competitor apparently intends to have one other crack at it this summer. Even when he doesn’t come out on top, he may drastically improve his initial performance.
Should Senumong transfer his recent top training deadlift to the 2023 IPF Worlds in Valetta, Malta, it seems apparent he’ll extend each of his record marks while potentially taking home a World title. Sweden’s Eddie Berglund is the defending 66-kilogram World Champion, and the 2023 IPF Worlds contest is scheduled for Jun. 11-18, 2023.

On purely a statistical basis, Senumong might already be the most effective 66-kilogram powerlifting competitor on the earth. He just has to point out it on the most important IPF stage. On this front, the approaching June might be a fruitful and historic event for the athlete.
