Louisiana high school senior shatters state record with a 900-pound squat

Dwayne Coleman sets Louisiana state squatting record.

Louisiana high school senior Dwayne Coleman set a state high school record squat on Saturday. Then he shattered it later that day.

Competing at the LHSAA state championship in Lafayette, Louisiana, Coleman originally squatted for 845 pounds and then a next squat of 875 pounds, which set the high school state record. Then, he received a bonus squat where he squatted for 900 pounds to break his own record.

And Coleman gets deep on his squats, getting the glutes down before exploding up. It was smooth from the high school senior.

He is listed as having played football for Salmen (Slidell, Louisiana) although there was some buzz at the LHSAA that he didn’t play the sport. Either way, one has to think LSU football head coach Brian Kelly is bringing in Coleman for the Tiger’s spring game.

Listed at 6-foot and 390 pounds, Coleman could set a couple of lifting records at a Power Five program, that’s for sure.

Check out this video of Coleman just easily powering through his own record. Impressive, and let’s be honest, pretty inspiring too:

And here is his other record-setting squat.

He gets done with setting a state record and walks away like it is no big deal.

WATCH: 4-star LSU DT commit Jacobian Guillory squats 700 pounds

What makes LSU defensive line commit Jacobian Guillory such a dominant prospect? His strength, which he builds up in part by performing wild leg max lifting days like this 700-pound effort.

LSU is having a heck of a season. In addition to taking a dominant lead in the College Football Playoff standings, the Tigers are also in the midst of a major recruiting surge. One of their prized members of the Class of 2020 is four-star in-state defensive lineman Jacobian Guillory, of Alexandria (La.) High School.

Guillory stands 6-foot-2, 330 pounds and may already be stronger than his frame. Much of that comes from his natural, god-given strength. The rest comes from workouts like this:

Yup, that’s Guillory squatting an astronomical 700 pounds, and lifting it like it’s no big deal. Bing, bang, boom.

Guillory’s Alexandria team is still in the state playoffs, so he’s still got plenty to fight for before he heads to Baton Rouge. Not that he would stop power lifting under either circumstance. He didn’t get to lift 700 pounds by skipping any scheduled leg days or max days. Keep them coming.
