On Feb. 24-26, 2023, during the Powerlifting America (AMP) Classic Open Nationals<\/a>, powerlifter Natalie Richards broke new ground for her weight class. In a first-place National Championship performance, Richards notched a 501.2-kilogram (1,105-pound) raw total and became the first-ever 57-kilogram powerlifter in AMP to break the 500-kilogram barrier<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

As part of her historical total, Richards recorded an all-time raw competition-best deadlift<\/a> of 221.3 kilograms (488 pounds). Richards completed the pull from a sumo stance<\/a> with a mixed grip. The athlete wore just a lifting belt<\/a> for the deadlift, a belt and knee sleeves for her top squat<\/a>, and wrist wraps for her bench press<\/a>. The angle of a clip featuring Richards’ lifts makes it unclear whether the competitor was also wearing a belt on her press. <\/p>\n
