"The squat, yeah, you see problems, but you can get those fixed quick, and people who don’t understand the squat usually just don’t do it. "When it comes to people who have been training for a little while, I would say the most dangerous mistakes relate to the deadlift," he said. Unsurprisingly, Williams is a balanced lifter, and his best piece of advice has to do with another important barbell discipline: the deadlift. He wasn't talking about squatting, either. The most helpful thing Williams shared for aspiring lifters wasn't exactly a checklist for how to squat a grand instead, he made it clear what not to do in the weight room once you get acclimated to the grind. The Squat King recently spoke to Men's Health for a wide-ranging interview about his training, best advice for others, and more. When Williams talks about powerlifting, then, you should probably listen.
Williams first eclipsed the 1,000 pound line at the 2016 USAPL Raw Nationals with a 1,005-pound lift (he was the first in the world to do so), and has since bested that official mark with a 1,080 pound lift at the Arnold Sports Festival in 2019. Ray Williams, a 35-year-old powerlifting champ, is the king of raw squats (which means he accomplished his reps without the aid of a squat suit, knee wraps, or help unracking the weight). There are precious few humans who can say that they've moved over 1,000 pounds in any lift-and fewer who have done so with all that weight on their back for a squat, the discipline considered by some to be the king of all lifts.
