Lamar Gant (born 1957) is an American former powerlifter.[1] He competed with idiopathic scoliosis.[2] He was inducted into the International Powerlifting Federation Hall of Fame in 1980.[3]

Gant set his first world record in 1974 by deadlifting 524.5 pounds (238 kg) at a bodyweight of 123 pounds (56 kg) at the Flint Olympian Games. In 1985, he became the first person in human history to deadlift five times his own bodyweight - lifting 661 pounds (300 kg) at a bodyweight of 132 pounds (60 kg). He holds the world records for deadlifting in both the 123- and 132-pound weight classes.[4] His best lifts at 123 pounds are 314 pounds (142 kg) RAW bench press and 638 pounds (289 kg) deadlift; at 132 pounds are 595 pounds (270 kg) squat 615 pounds (279 kg) (in training), 352.5 pounds (159.9 kg) raw bench press, and 688 pounds (312 kg) deadlift.
