A powerlifter from Texas broke the world record last month for most pounds bench pressed, lifting 1,125 pounds during the IPA National Powerlifting Championships in York, Pennsylvania.

Tiny Meeker, a 50-year-old strongman who weighs 320 pounds and runs Metroflex-Houston in Kingwood, Texas, surpassed the previous record set earlier this year by Jimmy Kolb at 1,120 pounds. Meeker holds over 75 world records, including in 2013 when he became the first person to bench press over 1,100 pounds.
