Deuce Gruden’s 484-lb bench record
Raider Deuce Gruden holds the Powerlifting America national bench-press record at 484 pounds — a raw, headline-grabbing lift that popped across strength-training feeds this week video/post.
The lift registered at 219.5 kg (483.9 lb) in the 83 kg Open Raw division at Powerlifting America Bench Press Nationals on January 9, 2026. (openpowerlifting.org) Gruden posted successful bench attempts of 200 kg and 212.5 kg before converting the 219.5 kg third attempt that met the judges’ criteria. (sports.yahoo.com) He’s listed as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Las Vegas Raiders on the team’s official roster, a role he’s held multiple seasons. (raiders.com) The Bench Press Nationals also served as a qualifier for Bench Press Worlds in Kielce, Poland and Bench Press North Americans in Belize City, so the result opens entry routes to those international meets. (fanbuzz.com) Jon Gruden shared a congratulatory post on X after the meet, writing “My son Deuce broke the powerlifting record last night” alongside video of the attempt. (yardbarker.com) Meet footage and reuploads spread across social platforms, including a Powerlifting America TikTok clip and a YouTube upload that lists the lift as 484 lbs. (tiktok.com)
