Kirk is widely considered one of the greatest squatters in the history of powerlifting,[2] he currently holds the International Powerlifting Federation equipped world record in the squat of 455 kg.(1,003 lbs.) in the 125 kg. weight class which was set in 1995.[3] Leading up to that competition he squatted that 1000 lbs. for 2 reps in training.

Many people recognize Kirk's 800lbs x 5 raw squat[4] to be the most impressive set[5] in history, as he wasn't even at his max weight at the time.
