WWE: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Big E Langston

9. Weight Lifting Achievements

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0uV-VrI-6A Take one look at Big E and you shouldn't be surprised to hear that he's an accomplished power lifter. Much of his in-ring moves and appeal focus around feats of strength including his finisher, the Big Ending. At the tender age of 24 Big E broke four Florida State power lifting records in his 275-pound weight class. He also beat out the national dead lift record at the same event. Get this, at the event, Big E performed a 611 raw pound squat, a 490 raw pound bench press, and a 749 raw pound dead lift for a total of 1,851 raw pounds. The man's a beast, and an accomplished beast at that. In 2011, Big E competed at the U.S.A. Power lifting Raw Nationals in Scranton, PA. At this event, he broke national records in the dead lift (799 raw pounds) and total raw weight lifted (2,039 raw pounds ) while competing in the super heavyweight division (+275 pounds). For those of you counting, that's about 4-5 Big Shows. And while his National and American records were broken in 2011 and 2012, he still holds the USAPL Florida State records in dead lift and total weight lifted in the super heavyweight division as well as four power lifting records in the 275+ pound class.
