“210kg squat”

Henry Pollock squatting 210kg — England Rugby

Gemini (web app) read the video in two separate runs; no human watched it for this record. Both runs read the on-screen text "210kg squat" and count six completed back squat reps from 0:03. Neither run hears his name; one run notes the initials HP on his kit. Identity rests on the official England Rugby channel and its title. Plate numbers are not legible. No sign that the set was a max. The feat date is unknown; date uses the YouTube Data API publication date, 2026-02-27, as the latest possible date. Different from the 230 kg x 3 squat (2025) already on the site.
