Hause is roaring back in his return.
While he’s strong and powerful, Andrew Hause could probably not lift an actual house. Though, the mere concept that the powerlifter could even attempt such a seismic feat of strength is a nod to Hause’s fame preceding him. He can have returned so as to add to his eye-popping rap sheet.
On July 16, 2023, Hause posted a video to his Instagram where he accomplished a back squat with wraps of 362.8 kilograms (800 kilos) for six reps on his second set. In keeping with Hause, the training session was a private record (PR). As a substitute of using a conventional barbell, Hause utilized a cambered bar which curved around his upper back and decreased the shoulder mobility needed to carry the bar in position. The athlete wore wrist wraps, knee sleeves, and a lifting belt in the course of the milestone squats.

As a young powerlifter, Hause already has little to prove. The athlete burst onto the scene in 2022 with staggering displays of power, each in training and on the competitive platform. Some examples include a 467.8-kilogram (1031.4-pound) squat with wraps PR from a July 2022 training session and a raw deadlift PR of 420 kilograms (926 kilos) nearly every week later.
While notching these astounding PRs, Hause would put the all-time World Record total with wraps within the 308-kilogram division in his crosshairs. He would smash that mark in late August 2022 with a 1,117.5-kilogram (2,463.6-pound) total with wraps on the 2022 World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) American Pro. Hause hasn’t competed since then, citing, in a separate Instagram post, undisclosed personal reasons that needed to be prioritized. The athlete was apparently on the right track to compete in an undisclosed competition in May 2023 but pulled out, likely for these same reasons.
In recent months, it seems Hause is back at his “world-destroying ways,” steadily sharing different updates on his training and overall progress within the gym, like his six-rep squat with wraps PR. A raw bench press set of 206.3 kilograms (455 kilos) for eight reps in June 2023 might stand out as one other noteworthy footnote in Hause’s growing resume.

On the time of this writing, it’s unclear where or when Hause will compete next. All that seems definitive is that he’s back to refining his skills and abilities within the gym. Based on his precedent, such a development could only be bad news for any of his competitive peers.
