Sam Byrd ups the 242 squat record

**strength_honor**

Just one week after upping the all-time squat record at 220, Sam Byrd has done it again, this time in the 242 pound weight class. Byrd squatted 1,107 pounds today at the APF Intramural Team Meet in Kennesaw, Georgia. Byrd surpasses Justin Graalfs mark of 1,085 pounds. He hit his opener at 1,036 pounds, missed his second attempt of 1,107 pounds, before coming back and hitting it on his third. Byrd, who weighed in at 228 pounds, now owns the 198, 220, and 242 class all-time squat records. He benched 634 pounds.
