Aumua achieved the feat during a Super Rugby pre-season gym session, with his Hurricanes teammates cheering him during the lift.
The 26-year-old was once seen as the future at No 2 for the All Blacks, but has fallen behind Codie Taylor and Samisoni Taukei’aho in the pecking order.
However, with veteran Dane Coles now retired from international rugby and continuing his club career, a place in the All Blacks squad could open up for Aumua.
