Jesse Norris

Jesse Norris is an American powerlifter who holds multiple world records in the 90 kilogram weight class. He came to strength sport from an athletic background in football and track and field, and began competing in powerlifting at the age of 14 after starting to train in the eighth grade. He took up lifting partly to improve himself as an athlete after he was not chosen to start on a football team where his brother was an all star. Norris became one of very few powerlifters to have totalled ten times his own bodyweight. His listed achievements include a 348 kilogram squat at about 89.8 kilograms of bodyweight, a 200 kilogram bench press and a 373 kilogram deadlift at 90 kilograms, for an all time world record total of 924 kilograms.
