Forget the bench press; it’s all about the squat when it comes to some of world rugby’s strongest players! 💪🏉 Meet the powerhouses setting jaw-dropping squat records that leave us all in awe of their sheer leg strength.
👑 Andrew Porter takes the crown with a colossal 350kg squat, putting him at the top of the rugby squat leaderboard. The Ireland and British & Irish Lions star has set a sky-high standard for leg strength in the sport.
Down in New Zealand, Hurricanes prop Pouri Rakete-Stones wowed fans with a 302kg lift, and his teammate, Pasilio Tosi, isn’t far behind, reportedly squatting over 300kg. 🌪️ With coaches singing their praises, these lads aren’t just here to make up the numbers.
Across the pond, Australia’s ‘Tongan Thor’, Taniela Tupou, matches that 300kg mark with ease. Known for his incredible speed as well as power, Tupou is truly a freakish talent in the game. 🦘🌍
Young English talent isn’t to be overlooked either. At just 23, Harlequins’ Fin Baxter stunned with reps of 220kg, and Bath’s newcomer, Henry Arundell, surprises by squatting 220kg despite weighing under 100kg! 😲 The retired Joe Marler still gets a nod too – with reports of impressive lifts during his career.
While these now-famous figures represent the elite of rugby strength, it’s widely thought many players not listed could give them a run for their money. 💥 Which rugby powerhouse has left you inspired to hit the gym today? Let us know!
