The 2024 IPF World Equipped Sub-Junior Championships from Aug. 28 through Sept. 8, 2024, in Valletta, Malta, could fill a spreadsheet with world-record-breaking lifts. In the Men’s 105KG Sub-Junior class, all four IPF equipped world records fell.
Jakub Golianek knocked down the squat and bench press records, which was only sufficient for a silver medal. Demitri Ayala out-lifted the field, achieving an IPF equipped Sub-Junior deadlift record of 322 kilograms en route to his gold medal-winning 892-kilogram total.

While chalked to the nines, Ayala stepped up to the barbell in a sumo stance while wearing his lifting suit and lifting belt. He assumed an overhand grip and ascended slowly to lockout with his head tilted all the way back at the top of the lift.
