(CNN) Nine-year-old Tate Fegley may stand at just 4 feet, 7 inches and 103 pounds, but he's already proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the powerlifting world.

With a deadlift of 230 pounds, bench press of 92 pounds and squat of 190 pounds, the boy from Minden, Louisiana, is crushing records left and right.

He started training just a year and a half ago, but he's already broken four American records for his age and weight class. At a state competition two weeks ago, Tate broke the records for squat, bench press, deadlift and total weight lifted all in one day.

Tate Fegley, 9, broke three records for his age and weight class at the 2020 USA Powerlifting Louisiana State Championship.

"I just love the sport. I love the competition, too," Tate said.
