Strength clearly runs on this powerlifting family.
Pablo Olivares is the younger sibling of Jesus Olivares, the present owner of the all-time heaviest raw World Record total (1,152.5 kilograms/2,540.8 kilos) in powerlifting history. Which means the athlete has quite a bit to live as much as from an ambitious strength perspective. At the speed of the lesser-known Olivares’ training, he won’t have much to fret about on this regard soon enough.
On May 16, 2023, Olivares posted a video to his Instagram profile where he captured a raw 400-kilogram (881.1-pound) squat during an intense training session. In keeping with the caption of Olivares’ post, the lift is a private record (PR) by five kilograms (11 kilos). Olivares used wrist wraps, knee sleeves, and a lifting belt to assist him rating the huge squat. It’s feats like this that evidently might put Olivares on a quick track to achieving milestones akin to those of his brother — who could be seen spotting him within the background of the clip.

While Olivares doesn’t have the identical lofty profile as his World Record-holding brother — who can also be the reigning two-time International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) raw World champion within the 120-kilogram (264-pound)-plus division — that doesn’t diminish what he’s completed to this stage of his profession. Based on his precedent, monstrous squat PRs like this might only be scratching the surface of what he’s able to at a person level.
Here’s an outline of the younger Olivares’ all-time raw competition bests. The athlete has notably fluctuated from appearances within the 120-kilogram (264-pound)-plus, 124.3-kilogram (274-pound)-plus, and even 139.7-kilogram (308-pound)-plus divisions:
Pablo Olivares | All-Time Raw Competition Bests
- Squat — 380 kilograms (837.7 kilos)
- Bench Press — 215 kilograms (474 kilos)
- Deadlift — 340 kilograms (749.5 kilos)
- Total — 925 kilograms (2,039.3 kilos)
Among the more noteworthy triumphs in Olivares’ powerlifting profession include wins within the 2023 USA Powerlifting (USAPL) Texas Strength Classic, the 2022 Powerlifting America (AMP) Nationals, and the 2021 USAPL Texas Open. Since September 2021, Olivares has lost a powerlifting competition only once in five appearances.

Based on a recent Instagram post from 2023, Olivares has aspirations of eventually squatting 422 kilograms (930 kilos) by the tip of the calendar yr. At this rate, even when he does have some work to do to catch as much as his more decorated sibling, it doesn’t appear to be Olivares is running into any insurmountable obstacles.
