An 18-year-old powerlifter just broke Arnold Schwarzenegger’s record! Nonso Chinye is a classic powerlifter representing Great Britain competing in the 120-kilogram or 265 lbs weight class. Chinye has now taken the world by storm by having managed to deadlift 105 lbs more than the seven-time Mr Olympia winner, Arnold Schwarzenegger in his absolute prime!

He broke a record that has been standing for years and this news is spreading like wildfire in the fitness community. Fitness page, Bisandris uploaded the amazing news via Instagram and as proof of evidence attached the actual video of the deadlift. And it lives up to the hype. 

Nonso Chinye did what John Connor couldn’t: Beat the Terminator twice

The young powerlifter recently broke a record by lifting 815 lbs successfully. According to the Austrian Oak’s PR stats, his best bench press was 525 lbs and his best deadlift was 710 lbs. The best squat was 610 lbs. He lifted 720lbs in his prime. This means, Chinye has easily broken Arnie’s record. And not just once!

Yes, this is not his first successful record-breaking deadlift. He has also succeeded in winning the IPF sub-junior world and European Championships in the 260lbs class. According to the post, “Nonso set a new world record by deadlifting 363kg / 800lbs with a total of 868.5kg / 1,914.7lbs.” So yes, that’s one more than John or Sarah Connor ever had on the Terminator. 

The young powerlifter has already won the 2022 World Sub-Junior Classic Powerlifting Championships where he had lifted 330 kilograms or 727 lbs for the sub-junior world record in the 105-kilogram/231 lbs weight. In the 2023 championships, he had broken three world records by squatting 308.5-kilogram/679 lbs, deadlifting 360.5 kg/793 lbs, and a total weight of 851kg/ 1876 lbs. But this is not the first time a teenager has beaten Arnie’s record. 

Another bodybuilder by the name of Anton Ratushnyi recently broke Arnie’s record of 57 years. Arnie had won his pro card at 20 and Ratushnyi broke this record by earning his pro card at 19! He is also the youngest IFBB classic pro and the overall champion at the NPC Nationals 2023.
