Dursun Sevinc 280kg Front Squat

November 7, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Thanks to commenter sporting who made me aware of this great Front Squat by a 85kg.

Here is Turkish lifter Dursun Sevinc with a 280kg Front Squat.

In 1997 he got 2nd at the World Championships and his career bests are 170+207.5 (1999).

Also, there is a comment on his Lift Up page:

He told me 325 kg front squat and 400 kg back squat at 95 kg bodyweight (off season)

83/85-kg competitor Dursun Sevinc (Turkey) might not be a top-of-mind weightlifter and while he medaled at the European and World Weightlifting Championships, his calling card was his leg strength. In the training hall for the 1998 World Weightlifting Championships (Lahti, Finland), he cleaned 210, only to miss the jerk, and then he capped off his workout with this 280-kg front squat. Amazing lift. IronMind® | ©Randall J. Strossen #weightlifting #lahti #sevinc #ewf #weightlifting #iwf #squat #turkey #thf

      Actually, the video is from Idalberto Aranda who has been mistaken, many times, as Pablo Lara.

    i’ve met him and he said he front squatted 305 and back squatted 400 as well as snatching 180 in training. well he didnt say his best snatch was 180, there was 180 on the bar and he said “fuck that’s heavy, i can’t believe ive snatched that” after a set of backsquats
