Jamal Browner is a household name in the powerlifting community, mainly because of his mind-blowing deadlift abilities. With his mastery of the sumo stance, Jamal Browner is able to lift weights that are unfathomable to most people. However, many people also claim that sumo deadlifts are easier than conventional. So, these people also doubted Jamal’s strength. However, Jamal has decided to prove them wrong and go for a one-rep max conventional deadlift. This conventional deadlift came out to 435 kilograms (959 pounds), which is a new PR for Jamal.
Jamal Browner proudly shared his newest achievement on Instagram, silencing all the haters which can often be found in the comment section. To make it even more impressive, Jamal completed the lift in a raw manner, using only a lifting belt. The majority of people who are capable of lifting this much weight are unable to do it without the help of lifting straps. However, Jamal did not need them, as his grip strength is off the charts. This comes as a result of perfecting the hook grip through many years of powerlifting.
“Small Pr 👀🫠 but happy with how it moved!”

Apart from silencing the naysayers, Jamal Browner also has some other motivations to improve his conventional deadlift. He has been invited and accepted the invite for the 2023 Giants Live Deadlift World Championships. The competition belongs to a Strongman organization and will take place on September 2nd at the Cardiff International Arena, in Wales. It will feature the greatest deadlifters from the Strongman community, as well as Jamal Browner, who is much smaller and lighter compared to the other competitors.
The goal at the 2023 Giants Live Deadlift World Championships is to break the All-Time World Record, currently in possession of Hafthor Bjornsson. The 2018 WSM champion locked out 501 kilograms (1,104.5 pounds) in 2020. So, If Jamal is successful in doing so, he will receive a lucrative cash prize.
Jamal Browner is not neglecting his powerlifting career, but instead plans on achieving multiple goals at the same time. This year, he has not competed, but he may make an appearance in the near future. Overall, during his seven years as a professional powerlifter, Jamal took part in 16 sanctioned events, winning 11 of them.

Jamal Browner will not be able to perform deadlifts with a sumo stance at the 2023 Giants Live Deadlift World Championships. However, he will have permission to use lifting straps and a deadlift suit, but that will be optional. It is not clear what his choice will be, but it is clear that when it comes to raw deadlifts, he is one of the best in the world.
