He had kids probably tapered off the gear and is out of his prime. Powerlifters have a very short shelf life.

I actually got too meet feb 19th, 2023 he’s a nice guy and when I first saw him I was just in aww cause he is so big when he walked in the door my jaw dropped and I said are you ray Williams the pro power lifter and he said yes and I asked him too take a few pictures with and he yeah sure but I was nervous but he said to me I’m just a big teddy bear and he gave me a huge hug and I thought he was gonna break me in half he’s a nice guy and was a great pleasure too meet him in person for the first time ever…

Hopefully he's ok man, lower half didn't look alright after hitting that last squat

@@micah.3718 did you not hear how his lean body mass is like 300lb? John Hack weighs much much less than that

looks like the 3rd attempt on squat put some strain on his back. probably why he stood next to the bar for a while there after he got 3 white lights.

300 lbs of lean mass is about 50 lbs more than my body weight at my fattest ever

i will never ever understand why in such HIGH competitions with extremely attention to prevent injuries, why they do not use safety bars in the bench , and why they do not use the *monolift* lever rack squat to avoid the *walk off* in order to perform a squat , plus of course safety bars at the bottom. i always wanted to know the reason, they allows everything to prevent and warm up , sleeves knees and elbows, and entire suit, but a big NO for the real safety while performing those exercises with such impressive weights.

Saftey straps are for the monolift. Other feds use them. The IPF doesn't because it would cut into their bottom line as they are more expensive to transport. Pretty clear the IPF puts lifter saftey near the bottom. All you have to do is look at footage from the year worlds was held in Kileen Texas.

Yeah I'm having an off day. Only totalled 1000 lol
