Celebrities are often known for their physiques and the hours they spend in training. For most, a weighted squat is often defined as the ultimate test of lower-body strength. Several athletes worldwide have driven impressive numbers, but few celebrities have successfully pushed the scales.

It’s no surprise that Arnold Schwarzenegger would feature on this list, but who would have thought even Hugh Jackman would give a good competition to some of these legendary lifters?

Top Six Celebrity Squats Ranked By Weight

Here are the top 6 celebrity squats that managed to turn heads all over the internet.

Hafþór Björnsson

It is quite obvious that Hafþór Björnsson would be sitting at the top of this list. One of the strongest men that most have laid their eyes on, he performs 460 kg squats. The 6’9” ‘Mountain’ is known to move massive weights that most people struggle to load onto a barbell.

Eddie Hall

Next up on the list is Eddie Hall with his 405 kg beltless squat. However, Hall is better known for his 500 kg deadlifts.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Although Schwarzenegger was not a powerlifter, he was able to squat an impressive 277 kg. Compared to the others on the list, his number may not seem impressive at first. However, keep in mind that Schwarzenegger trained primarily for his physique and not for powerlifting.

John Cena

Another impressive contender on the list is John Cena. Although his career is built mainly around athletics and entertainment, the fighter can easily squat 270 kgs.

Henry Cavill

Man of Steel Henry Cavill performs 166 kg back squats, which may seem modest at first, but is actually quite a feat. Considering the fact that Cavill is an actor and not a bodybuilder or athlete, his 166 kg squats definitely turn some heads at the gym.

Hugh Jackman

Ringing in an impressive 161 kg squat is Wolverine, or Hugh Jackman. While his number may seem the most inconsequential one on the list, bear in mind that the actor is now in his mid-50s and not a serious athlete, like many on the list.

From iconic bodybuilders to actors and strongmen, these impressive squats require dedication and power, both of which these men have.
