Fikowski squats 240 kg for three reps at full depth

Brent Fikowski shared a video on Instagram in which he performs three back squats with 530 pounds (approximately 240 kg), each at full depth. The Canadian, known as one of the best CrossFit athletes in the world, adds that it is not a case of ego lifting.

For a functional sport like CrossFit, this kind of raw strength work is striking. Fikowski is better known for his exceptional endurance than for absolute maximum strength, which makes training footage like this stand out even more.

Whether the heavy squat training is part of specific preparation for an upcoming competition, he does not clarify in the post. View the original post on his Instagram profile @fikowski.
