While Hause’s performance in North Carolina was one for the record books, it was not his first time dabbling with lifting the heaviest weight ever recorded in sanctioned powerlifting. He still holds the all-time raw (w/wraps) world record total of 1,117.5 kilograms scored at the 2022 WRPF American Pro.
In the caption of Hause’s Instagram post published on Nov. 12, 2023, that featured a video of his new all-time raw squat world record, he said that a recap video on his YouTube channel would be published in the “near future.”
